Jim, it makes me happy to see someone use a crosscut saw for more than one cut in a video. Thanks for "sawing through" the absurdity. Yes it's a lot of work, but so much more enjoyable and meaningful!
Perfect drop... Such a satisfying feeling when she falls exactly where you want. That was some hard work you made look easy! You really earned your pay today! Thanks for sharing...
I was looking through the comments to see all the internet "experts" who haven't split a stick, say how you did that wrong 100 different ways. Didn't see any. Good skills and video 👍
Good firewood gives warm at least 2 times... ;) Love that video! Muscular powered hand tools have some kind of meditative working. It inspires me while I'm working up my first big handsaw. Blade is de-rusted and a bit polished (800 grit, wet), handle is sanded (from 80 grit up to 400) and oiled, tooth are almost finished filing. I'm feeling like a kid before x-mas.... The saw is made in Sweden by Sandvik, built around 1950. It's about 43" total length, partly plain tooth, partly perforated lance tooth.
I really miss living outside of town and being able to do this kind of stuff. It's pretty relaxing using hand tools to cut trees down. I'd much rather listen to birds chirping, leaves rustling in the wind, and the chh chh chh of a saw than barking dogs and loud exhausts.
I went to 10 home and outdoor stores from big box stores to mom and pop stores, None of them carry these crosscut saws. Luckily My wifes grandfather use to own 200 acres in Penn and he had 3 of them. I bought all 3 off of him, I couldn't believe that stores don't carry these and manufacturers don't make them anymore, I guess the days of hard work are truly gone 😞
I have done this. A lot of this. Most of the time I watch TH-cam videos and cringe. Your skills sir, are exemplary. Very well done. I worked for a (very old even then) tree service for the first ten years of my adult life. Where did you get your training? Whomever they were, they did a damn fine job. If you are self-taught I am even more impressed.
I have never seen wood being split in a tire before? And I have been around trees and split more than my fair share, and never saw anything like that before. Interesting.
Maybe one of the 10 best videos ive seen on the net... thanks for sharing! as others have said that log jack is hot stuff. I'd also like to know what brand of axe and splitting maul you were swinging!
when they're filed and matched to the right type of wood, they're more like pleasure to use. Like tactile satisfaction. When they're dull or not matched to the right type of wood....not so great.
Great job. I have a 1 man and 2 man cross cut saw What size wood chips should be coming out. I cut a lot of Ash and oak. I cut fire wood and slab some for benches Just want to get the most work for the effort put in. love the jack.

Hey Jim, This is a great video. I would just like to plug the idea that you make a video about your saw partner, I read the length you've put in the comments section and seen your pictures of the rig, but a video would put the thing over the top. Just an idea.
The health benefits of doing everything by hand, can't be overstated.

Loved it! That's an awesome idea for the high lift jack. I'll definitely be copying that 👍😀
Thanks!
I'm from Australia....We have have a name for people like you.....Bloody Legend!! Well done mate
I see you Aussies plussed 18 times ;-)
still laughing!!
👌

That wood certainly heated you twice :)
Interesting. I started sawing in the Sixties, yet I've never seen a school marm held together with chains and a binder like you did. Pretty cool.
dangerous
Pretty neat seeing that top chain slack as the back bole outran the front on the way down. Impressive work, Jim.
Having just cut through a bunch of 20 inch logs myself, i can attest to how much effort is required. That was an incredible amount of work. Chapeau
well done ol' boy , this is on my list of videos to create and I love the jack all, nice stuff buddy
Hey Mr. Buckin' love your videos also! Cheers friends!
What a fantastic video! Where to start? The rubber man helper, the chain bind, the hi-lift Jack, heck even the tire splitting keeper. Wow!
Great work man. Makes me warm and happy. Keep up the good work and always let Jesus show you directions in life. Cheers
I have a bad back and I have dreamed of doing what you just did all my adult life. Privilege to do what you just did. BEAUTIFUL Buck Saw. Awesome!!!!!
great demonstration of smart old fashion physical work without a $5, 000 dollar wood processor great video. thx
Excellent video, i want this saw! Good music ( thanks Rossini)!

Love,your idea with the jack! Ingenious!
I've got some old saws in the shed like the one you have, I'll think I'll have a go!
Bloody hell mate I got knackered just watching you. Great work!

You can find new saws but the quality is poor. Old vintage saws are much better quality.

Amazing job. Incredible solo effort. You've really got a great setup there and you are one hard working man. Well done.
This man is part human chainsaw, part human dynamo. And he felled it straight down the centre. Don't think you can fault this ole timer!
Nice job. That face cut looked great and the hinge after the tree dropped was a classic. Well done.
That was very entertaining and inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

Good job !
Great job Mr. Jim! You're the fastest sawyer I've ever seen! LOL
amazing job....Tree Terminator
Great job
This is bloody impressive! You've convinced this young buck to ditch the chainsaw
AMAZing video!! Thank you!
Oh, The William Tell Overture was a good choice.
And the lofi version at that.
Amazing spirit and strength! Sir.
Love it!
this is the second time I watch the whole thing, uncut ;)
Nice job, and good use of that hi-lift jack.
Your Hi-Lift jack mod. certainly gives good service! Making one up for myself-thanks.
Jim, you are a badass! Well done sir!
🤔 Do not pick a fight with this man, unless you want to be cut, split, and stacked. ✊🍷🎩🎩🎩
Old school cross fit.
Lots of work. I used to split wood to get back in shape.
This looks like an excellent video. !!
Amazing....simply amazing. thank you
great respect for your work! very nice Video! Cheers, Erik
Looks like great fun!
All that with a crosscut saw, I’m impressed.
Excellent work!
Great video, thanks for sharing
You sir are Amazing..
I love this so much!
I thought I was watching an old Path video with the music.
Nice thinking with that HighJack,.... I bought one a while ago and knew I would use it someday for something like this.........
Great video. Makes me want to get one of the old misery whips
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this vid
That was great. Good job. Thanks.
Well I have to say that was a jolly good job. :)
I tip my hat to you sir
This a good video
Very nice video work!
Mitico! Saluti dall'Italia!
A+++++++++ for all that dam effort
Extremely impressed 👏
nice work...and good video.
Very impressive!
You are a freaking machine.
Very entertaining video!
Bravo Jim, Bravo!
You certainly earned yourself a beer there!
Excellent!!
good job mr. Jim :)
Got one of those, it's up on the wall. Belonged to my late father-in-law, also known as a misery whip.

Gtmreat vid mate ! Thanks from oz
Well done, mate!

Sure enjoyed your video. :)
Some man to go💪👍🇮🇪
The best of the best :)
check out the noodles in the sawdust! sharp saw!
Spectacular.
dead center felled. Nice job.
That's the real Superman✌🏻❤️
Wow ... Impressive
WOW! That saw goes faster than a chain saw. What is the rebar thingy you used to hold the logs apart? Rubber band man is good too.

I love your old timey methods. Tell me where I can find a rubber strap like you use and its proper name for a google search.
Thanks Ron

Where do you get a saw like this?? Awesome!
When it came to bucking I expected you would switch to a chainsaw, but damn was I surprised!
Absolute boss
💕👏👍 hard work but sleep good at the end of the day 🔥
Bravo!
NICE!
So which is faster to fell and buck completely saw or axe
incredible.
Rewatched this video! Need to publish some more!
respect
Cool!!
