I congratulate you for the amount of material that you have been uploading week by week and videos of interesting and quality material, thank you very much !!
Thank you very much! It's been really fun to work everything; I always look forward to this time of year. My uploads may be a little slower for the next week or so due to real life obligations, but I have plenty of stuff lined up. Just need to edit!
Interesting tree with a ton of character. Looks 1000 years old from some angles. Also, really nice keepsake from your grandfather glad you talked about it..
Thank you! One really great benefit for me about filming my trees is that when I go back and watch, I see all kinds of different opportunities that I didn't see when I was recording. I'm becoming more and more excited about this one. It is going to be really awesome sometime soon. Thank you. He had all kinds of tools for just about anything you can imagine. This is a little bit long for a comment, but I'll share a story with you. Like I said in the video, my uncle, my father, and I were in his workshop trying to see if anyone could use any tools. A lot of them we decided to keep in his workshop to make it a place that we could go and feel close to him. While we were looking around, we found a blue-handled hammer. When I was a kid (my grandparents raised me), I played in the woods a lot, building forts and stuff. I wasn't allowed to take a hand saw into the woods because they thought it was too dangerous. So I took this blue-handled hammer into the woods and started chopping at a tree using the claw side of the hammer. Long story short, I tried to chop a big tree and the hammer bounced off the tree and hit me on the top of my head. One ER trip and a couple of stitches later, I was fine. Well, when my father and uncle saw the hammer, they immediately began talking about how one of them had thrown the hammer at the other when they were kids. The hammer is as old as my father, and it is embedded with a lot of memories and experiences. It's crazy how something as insignificant as a hammer can bring back so many memories.
@@smalltrees ..too cool. It’s the little things bro. The generational stories are so interesting. It’s like we’re all the same person just being born again and again experiencing something slightly different. Also pretty ironic we’re talking about this because my wife is due to give birth to my first son any day now. I’m sure he will find many seemingly insignificant items/hidden treasures I have been passed down from my grand fathers that are neatly tucked away in the dark corners of my basement/workshop. And to him they will be everything, let’s hope not a trip to the ER but also very likely let’s be honest lol.
What growing zone do you live in? I just purchased a twisted pom and think it may need a couple of years in the ground. I live in zone 6a in Southern Ohio do you think I could get away with growing in the ground a couple of years. It's root base needs big improvement and there is very little twist in the trunk as of now. It's probably close to a 3" thick double trunk with the split an inch and a half from the root base.
@@smalltrees let the saw do the cutting. Very light presure......and use the whole lenght of the saw....medium speed......even strokes.....the one i use is about 10-12 in. And that Pom is fantastic!!.....
Thank you, I'm very happy with how it's turning out! I'll try to use it again and see if I can get better results. I used it in the video I'm going to release tomorrow but I definitely wasn't using it properly and I ended up using my larger saw. I'm sure I'll find something good to use it on this weekend.

@@mmjnice97 they don't like hard freezes, so they'd need special care. I live in 7b ish.
That small saw is Japanese. All thier saws cut on the pull stroke instead of the push......really great saws and they make a cleaner cut as well.
I ended up having a lot of trouble with the blade bending as tried to cut. Is there a trick to it?
