i love to see people handling a chainsaw with craftsmanship skill,im from the uk and have just started watching timber kings,where pioneer homes build these crazy log homes for the rich,the design is mind bending good,all done with chainsaws and traditional handtools etc
Great first video in series! There are many people who are interested in hand wood carving, northwest native art and greatly respect the native art. Please continue the series. The close up video on the master carver's techniques and how he uses the tools are very valuable. Suggestions: put a microphone on Tom, the master carver, so we can hear him better; get him to talk more rather than yourself because he has a lot of experience and wisdom and deserves tremendous respect.
Woah! Great stuff, good to see Tom again and looking forward to the videos to come. Learned something new today, how to round out a log with a huge chain saw! Good work, cheers!
I like the "get ya some" dance @ 8:40ish lmao..... Tom is a stud, great video and way to give Tom some publicity he's doesn't seem like he cares too much though... thanks for posting
Hi Tom. Remember me? Ron Stacy. I like your new (to me) workshop. I'm up here in the Okanagan being mostly retired, but still pretty busy. It's nice to see you and that your still carving.
Hey Tom. Doing all right here in the Okanagan, but miss you guys doing nifty stuff and doing it together from time to time. I've set up a little bit of a woodworking shop again. When I left Sidney, I got rid of most of my tools, except the carving tools, but I've been re-stocking on equipment so I'm about to get back in it with both feet. Just got back from Europe. Never occurred to me to go there until recently. Pretty cool; art everywhere, and sculptures, of course. I'm enjoying seeing you work, but haven't seen part 2 yet. You haven't really changed at all, except your girth, just like me. We've got about ½ an acre here, a double size house, so we can use half for studio/workshop and half to live in. There's an archery range out back. Not much real art or 3D work here except for 2 or 3 artists.
lol, Spoken like a true wood carving Native Man,,,lol. Sounds like my uncle talking about his "gas and oil" situations,,,, Thank you for doing this video and for sharing it with us. :)
I usually move shit like this with my special powers! Like a winch and a floor jack ! There are tools that would eliminate most of all the pre measuring and cutting for relatively cheap when it comes to time and labor. This is why they developed mills back in like before Jesus Christ and the Totem Carvers. Also, dulling that many chainsaw blades must not be very economical of fun to sharpen. Awesome vid tho. This is some good stuff.
A bandsaw mill would save his lower back...and be more efficient...but not as impressive. Such precision. Wow. Also, that tricep comment was hilarious.
Wow just wow. Genius to round the log with string and a chain saw. I would have sent untold time and money trying to spin the log (which seems like the worst solution now).
Jamie Greenwood I'm confused... yes he can follow the chalkline with the bar, but there is no way for him to keep the saw at a consistent angle other than years of experience... doesn't really seem genius. He could hold the saw perfectly level, but chances are it is wavering around quite a bit and varies from cut to cut...
Sent you a t-shirt entry + a custom clock with the design - maybe offer in your shop? :-) I'm sure you're getting some great submissions. I'll keep my eyes & toes crossed! (gotta leave the fingers for crackin' cold ones!) he he he
Can't wait to see the rest of the project! Wish I could work behind you on all my jobs. I get stuck in McMansions with shitty carpenters, who look me right in the face and say "Painter will fix it".
Thank you to Tom and yourself, forgiving us the oppertunity in watch the full process. But unfortunately some of the comments are correct the music is a touch loud.
Thanks for keep my culture alive Tom 👳🏾♂️🏹🪶🦅🦊🦚🐺🦃🩸🧬
That chalkline method is genius, so simple even for that big of a piece and the result was very nice and tidy.
There's the Samurai we love! So good to see you having fun again. 😊
Yes! I've been waiting for this!
Favorite parts: "No goddamn oil" and Samurai goofing off in the background air humping.
This guy is awesome. glad you got back up with him.
This is awesome. Can't wait for the next video. Remember Samarai, safety second, eyes and ears. Very important
I love that he is so particular and precise with his centering and measurements...then he pulls out a chainsaw to make the precision cuts! Love it!

What an awesome experience! I'm looking forward to seeing more of this.
Great video! Clearly described and informative. Lucky to find Tom to show us how its done.
nice to see tom back! thanks for the vid guys!
Keep these videos with Tom coming as long as he's willing, they are super interesting.
i cant wait to see more of this series!!
Unbelievably everything free hand
I am very impressed!
Super excited for this series!
Thanks for showing this. I'm watching it with my kids for sure!
Unbelievable how a rough tree log was made so circular. He made it look so simple in his method, but that is some serious skill!
I have been waiting for this one. Thanks!
So glad to see you back there, I was hoping you would do another video but few is even better.

Glad to see this come back. :) Such artistry.
That was excellent! Looking forward to more from Tom!!!

The dance moves, put a smile on my face.
this is FANTASTIC!
Nice initiative! Really looking forward to see this native master craftsman doing his thing!
I remember some people asking for this, this is a great way of creating content and relaxing... :-) so keep them coming.
Oh boy, I've been waiting for this series. Thanks.
I was hoping you'd be getting to this again. Love it!
Thanks! Looking forward to the next one!
Wooo! This is exciting!
Cool video! Looking forward to following the progress!
That was some fine handling on that chain saw. Looked fun though . God bless and keep em coming . . .
good video, looking forward to more in this series!
Stoked this video is finally out!
Samurai's back in the gym then 💪
OMG!! This is going to be great!!!!
Such a simple concept but so much work!
I like the "get ya some" dance @ 8:40ish lmao..... Tom is a stud, great video and way to give Tom some publicity he's doesn't seem like he cares too much though... thanks for posting
I see good things coming with your work with Tom Jesse, been waiting patiently- I'm actually a little giddy.
I'm excited to watch this
Hi Tom. Remember me? Ron Stacy. I like your new (to me) workshop. I'm up here in the Okanagan being mostly retired, but still pretty busy. It's nice to see you and that your still carving.
Ron Stacy hey ron , how da hell are you

Oh hell yea dude, was super excited to see this in my box
Hearing protection is the coolest thing ;)
Awesome! Looking forward to the following parts :).
Tom seems legit!
No fuzz there at all.
Well done Tom, put them young bucks to work!!
kudos on using an old teflon tape roll for the extra mic cord!
His technique is brilliantly simple! He's got to be a patient man.
"Haste makes waste."
Think that is back breaking work? Just think of how it used to be done. Awesome video!
love this guy. what a boss
Oh this is going to be Great!
That guy is a boss. And hilarious when he starts talking about the chain oil.
WoW so much work just to get ready to start up the preparation for the set up WoW
Enjoyed this video & your channel
The that guy some Oil and Gas. That was funny, reminded me of my grandpa when I used all his gas for my dirt bike.
Is that Cedar wood? Fun video! Scary chainsaw!!
Yes, it's red cedar.
A lot of the small Korean villages used to have totem poles.
I've been waiting for this. 😃
Rock n roll that poll homie!
Fascinating.
Nail a block on end of log jack it up pushing it took to long What kind of wood?. Cool video
lol, Spoken like a true wood carving Native Man,,,lol. Sounds like my uncle talking about his "gas and oil" situations,,,, Thank you for doing this video and for sharing it with us. :)
Sawyer is showing off at 8.40, lol. This guy's good!
10:54
That's what she said.
I am curious myself to see the layout, it's very fascinating to me. You should let him use your chisel of power on this.
This guy should have his own channel.
Waiting for Pt2 :)
wicked man. wessssssst coast!

Why aren't there more videoes with Tom? I thought he said there was a new series coming after the totem pole one
Tom is BA!
Sick tri's bro
That looks like fun just a quick question why did he go back wards with the chainsaw is it easier to control
Greg Shirley so the sawdust doesn't get blown in his face all day long. Using the top bar shoots sawdust away from the operator
Steve Rayner good to know thanks
Better control and comfortable. The powerhead is not so heavy. If notice I'm just cutting on my chalk line and not fighting the weight of the saw
A bandsaw mill would save his lower back...and be more efficient...but not as impressive.
Such precision. Wow.
Also, that tricep comment was hilarious.
Wow just wow. Genius to round the log with string and a chain saw. I would have sent untold time and money trying to spin the log (which seems like the worst solution now).

Our Sensei Tom's grasshopper
is the music really loud for anyone else?
If I was doing that on a regular basis, I think I would build a timber frame lathe, and turn it.
Nice one
You should start a GoFundMe to get Tom a lathe. I'd put up some of my Canadian pesos to make this old dude cry.
Sent you a t-shirt entry + a custom clock with the design - maybe offer in your shop? :-) I'm sure you're getting some great submissions. I'll keep my eyes & toes crossed! (gotta leave the fingers for crackin' cold ones!) he he he
Haha those triceps. I suppose they look small because you're so tall.... keep up the good stuff man.
its just too good
The de Geest sense of humor at 8:25 lol
SOOoooooOooOO Satisfyingg
Dope!
Can't wait to see the rest of the project! Wish I could work behind you on all my jobs. I get stuck in McMansions with shitty carpenters, who look me right in the face and say "Painter will fix it".
Awesome!!!
enjoyed it
5th. Am I doing this right?
where is part 2? it's been more than a month!
Coming soon!
Very cool
Tom hows ja Kebab slicing. ...i'll have with all the trimmings. .. not easy when ja have that weight of the chainsaw plus obstacles to get over hey .
You feeling better kid
Loving the chainsaw planing, or should I say, "chaining", haha
I think I saw Kyle Toth there in the background...
Just put it on the lathe
Psyklops I
We gonna need a bigger lathe...
was gonna say the same thing! There are lathes for logs so
Psyklops why waste the money when you can do it yourself. Plus it's cooler.
Expensive machinery
Thank you to Tom and yourself, forgiving us the oppertunity in watch the full process. But unfortunately some of the comments are correct the music is a touch loud.
Should edit in some background music to future videos
