Karen & Phil, Great video. The local saw mill in New Gloucester hangs the metal they find in the logs on a post in the office, you guys should start saving it for memory sake. 😢😢 You have to wonder how many years ago it was put in there. Keep the videos coming, I look for a new one everyday. As Joe @ OWB would say, 👍Have a great day. Dave D. from Auburn.

Just lost 4 nice straight, topped Black Oak trees because we cut a hollow one down that twisted and took out a nearby small bitternut hickory tree. The homeowner was not pleased, so we picked up and hauled off his brush for him as a peace offering to no avail. Win some, lose some I suppose. 2-1/2 cords out of one chain, might go broke if that became the norm.

Isn't funny how some days that promise the best turn round and kick you in the butt! Then there's the days that start out ordinary and turn out golden,cause nothing breaks,there's no steel in the logs and the splitter starts first pull and subsequently you get an extra cord split. Great video you guys. Cheers from HB NZ

I use my wood yard for keeping squared away.

Thx for great video! I would buy a Sappie if I was her, to bend over might harm your back in the long run. A Husqvarna Sappie 80cm or perhaps a Fiskars, the fiskars are great but they are light which is not always a great thing since if you dont hit hard enough using your arm your sappie might bounce of the wood instead of get stuck in the wood. Just a thought, your doing great! :)

nice video,and great ideas,from edmundston nb canada

Like I said you did a chain and sharping utube

You just did chain sharping one

Phil give yourself some credit, you’re an arborist and filing by hand works for you!. I don’t know about other fat girls, but this girl prefers to be called voluptuous as it sounds better 😜 Love yas❣️

good video and job lots of work a lot of them name everythink to get free stuff. takew care, be safe and well.

Squatting like a truckload of fat girls lol

Sure is a purdy looking load of oak👍👍

I have had a couple “the homeowner wants to keep the wood” messages before. Kinda heartbreaking😂👍👍

This is the video I wanted to see

Lol, complete parody of those all-too-common channels who's only reason to exist is to cynically flog products to hapless subscribers.

Why not put the same chain on both saws 😂

That's awesome.!

Always start with Plan B. Plan A always fails!!🤠

"A pick up load of fat girls". I pissed my pants laughing..........

Do you get maple trees

Hey Phil and Mrs Karen , that was one nice load of red oak . Some beautiful splits . Trying to catch up on videos . I’ve been on vacation .👍🏻🇺🇸🪵

You two make me laugh so much, thank you. Another great video from you two.

GOOD DAY ,IM SURPRISED THAT YOU DONT GET MORE ASH BECAUSE THE ASH IS DYING OUT EVERYWHERE

Can you share a link to the bags you use from Amazon

We have a little ash herein Washington and Oregon. It's in pockets, but it splits nice. 5am for me during the weekend. 6 am pecking at a keyword till 3 pm, then its off to the Woodyard till whenever. 😉👍

Your hair cut looks good Phil. Wish you could have got that Ash. Sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. Take care Phil and Karen.

I have watched a lot of youtube videos about vertical splitters and I feel that they all copied buster. You make some of the prettiest wood I have ever seen.

Nice video! And like reading all the comments! Just finished all the annual spring splitting for the year, almost all oak this year. hats off to you two for year round wood! Just turned hot as warm butter air. Is there elm trees in Maine? Whats the worst trees for you there?

In SE Ohio we had a ton of ash at one time. The emerald ash borer came into northern Ohio first on a Chinese cargo ship. Our ash was the first to die. There is very little ash left that is burnable. Ash rots fast when it dies. It was my favorite firewood. It burns great and splits like a dream. There is an old poem about wood from 1500's England. The last 2 lines say, "but ash wood wet or ash wood dry, a king shall warm his slippers by. I am really going to miss ash. You should be able to burn it a few days after you split it.

Nice video guys! Things don't always go as planned but you gotta just roll with. Very nice load of oak you did there too! Hopefully there's less metal in the rest of the wood you have to cut. - Tim

We hauled about 5 full cords of Ash to the landfill the other day as nobody wanted it, next time I can see if you want to come haul it should be almost dry by the time you get back home.Just a little ways WSW of you.

Ment to say split wood.

That is absolutely beautiful quality firewood. You are by far the best lit woo of all the channels.

Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.

A pick up load of fat girls, I'm crying. The older generation always has a good selection of one liners!

“ Pickup load of fat girls in the back”😂 As your old buddy Freddie used to sing- “ Fat-bottomed girls make the Rocking world go round !

Ye had bit bad luck today. Things wasn't on your side at all but got your wood split and got it delivered after a few hours. Phil hope you haves a better day tommorrow. Poor guy getting into that metal cutting that wood. Take care.

Would a metal detector help you?

Hello Phil and Karen. I saw that log with the dark line in the bottom and I said to myself Phil isn’t going to try sawing that one in half. I was wrong! Thanks for another good video.

Great one. Fat girls. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 Nasty wood with the hardware in it. Karen’s coffee must of had something else in it too. 🤭🤭🤭 Always changes, but you guys can handle er. 👍🏻 Have a great weekend. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

Awesome video but down here we never have a plan when we get up in the morning we just say let’s go do something even if it’s wrong just to stay busy you could’ve filmed Phil swearing just bleep it out unless the whole video would’ve been nothing but bleeps for 10 minutes ha ha ha he sounds like me when stuff goes wrong people just walk away and let me sputter and when he said his truck is squatting like a truck full of fat women he needs to clarify whether they are Maine or New Hampshire or Vermont women cause they grow them different sizes you know lol again love the video and keep them coming Lee Hillsgrove signing off 👍

At least ya hadn't left. If you're taking a saw to yard trees, odds of hitting metal are GOOD. Wont hurt the hay too bad if it was just cut. Ready to bale, its 1/2 way to crap

Nice work guys ! That saw is sweet. Great productivity 👌

Nice looking firewood.

You need a set of Airbag overloads like I do on my tundra. The leaf springs will thank you! It won’t look as heavy as it is either.

My great uncle always said you get the most work done between 7 and noon . Maybe you remember him, L. E. Marston and Sons Excavating. Bit of back history, Yellow Birch is the wood of choice for ox yolks.

“ Ten pounds of S... ( stuff ) in a five pound bag”. - sure wish you were my wood supplier, you give the best value in town! Like most of us red-blooded men, your enthusiasm was off the charts thinking you were getting a nice piece of Ash, darn, so disappointing, it was so close you could almost taste it !😁 Reggie sounds like a good Right-thinking guy, safe to say you won’t find “ Coexist” stickers plastered on his bumper, perhaps a “ If you don’t like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalk”- or my favorite, “ horn broke, watch for finger”😂 Congratulations on the Granddaughter on the way, got my 3 little guys out West for a visit- so much fun!! Enjoy your weekend, you two !

That's wicked frustrating when you come across metal while sawing. I just picked up some nice hemlock sawlogs last week and I've hit metal in 4 different logs so far with the sawmill. There's 4000 bf in those logs, I hope I can manage to make some money off them. Thanks for the tip on filing a new chain. Looks like some wicked heat and humidity coming next week. Stay hydrated and don't work to hard guys. Maybe take advantage of your pool. Great video as always guys!

Have you ever thought of getting a metal detector and check the logs before cutting into them Phil? I guess they are costly though.

Karen you were on fire early on. Bummer to not get the ash. Even bigger bummer destroying a new chain hitting all the metal. Phil you know you gotta' keep that woman happy...Karen at 27:10 when you went to check on Phil to see if the language had cleaned up you should have brought him a cold Mtn. Dew. He looked like he really needed one. Always good stuff.
