Yes sir. You've blown my mind with the canola oil mix. Hall, Cook, Chad... all of em in your link I know well and have studied. You're right up there if not WELL past them in my book. I just get so much more out of your videos as a whole than I do the other guys. I have, however, never heard of the canola oil thing before now. Ironically, I just left a comment with Ryan Cook today asking about bar oil flow on my Echo 7310 (from his video). That beast is brand new and I don't want to burn anything up. It just doesn't seem to be delivering the bar and chain oil on my 32" like I think it should. Wondering if a 'mix' would make things flow better? Hmmmm? 🙂
I really like the mix. It gives the sticky properties the chain needs but helps with the flow. I’m sure you have but make sure you have the set screw on full flow if it has one. I had a new saw not wanting to oil right the other day. I dumped the bar oil out and took bar off, used some mixed gas and bar oil and mad a real thin oil to run through. That seemed to prime it. Dumped refilled with bar oil and it was good to go. Try not filling to brim as well
i too found my bar oil to thick for my 12" dime tip,even with winter oil ...so i tried your mixed oil method, and it worked great .thanks for rthe tip . I didnt have oil spraying off all over the place but plenty of oil on the bar , just right in fact .
@@GlowingJacksCarvings no complaints I thoroughly enjoyed listening while sanding and staining. I am over on chainsaw carvers on Facebook too so I followed you channel. Good stuff
Like you, I jumped right in and had to get the dimee tip bar. I've been carving about a year as well. I've actually started going back to the standard bars that came on my saws. I'm finding that I can do quite a lot with the standard bar. Things I thought I had to have the dime tip for. Good suggestion to start with the standard bar. You are a bit long winded tho! Ha ha
hey john, if you check out pt 2 i go a little more into depth on the subject, but alot of times when you start off i would just try to find rot and bug free logs. i would also look for free wood in your area.
Great video. Third time so far. Lot of useful info. Thanks for taking the time.
No problem, the struggle can be real learning tips and tricks as you go.
Also been carving for a year. I like the oil idea! I agree , you be you & have fun!!! Keep on Karvin'
I haven’t seen any negatives with yet. I sure will, thanks for watching!

Well thank you 🙏 I appreciate that.
Great vid realy good advice I use electric chainsawscoz I live in a built up area stihl 141 one with stock bar and one with carving
Thanks I really appreciate that. I've been looking at the electrics for night time carving in the winter. does that model work well for you?
@@GlowingJacksCarvings yes work realy well for the size of logs I use

Thank you for the comment I appreciate it. Yeah I think I was just a little to excited to do this one. The next one is shorter I assure you haha.
What kind of logs do you recommend for beginner carving? What not to use?
