I cut wood when I was 16 with a Homelite XL12 just like yours, only mine was red. Wow ! Brings back a lot of memories. I must have put a thousand hours on that saw. That was my income as a teenager. Cutting and selling firewood. Kids today don't know what they're missing........the reward of hard work, and accomplishment.
I did the same with a Remington saw. It was a lot cheaper than a homelite..............always wanted a homelite. Ended up being a part time arborist/climber (pays WAY MORE than a firewood cutter)
interesting to see where people come from and how you judge them not knowing what the history has been. There are so many good stories behind people and you will never know because we kind of lost sight to get in touch /connect with other people.Thanks for showing this ! I must say that your channel is kind of different in a positive way compared to many other channels.
Wow impressive! I don't know much about the Stihl. In 1996 when I was 15 my dad bought a new husquavarna 41. It's the saw I learned to cut with and still make my firewood every year with it. Great saw!
The knowledge your father has! Another great video!! I have a 19 year old Stihl farm boss, has cut many, many tri-axle loads of wood and still running strong!! Have a great day and look forward to your next video!!
That’s an excellent collection. Those blue Homelites are amazing. I learned on a Super XL automatic at 11 years old. Then my first was a Homelite Super XL but in red. Excellent saw that cut hundreds of cords of wood. Then in the 90’s I bought an 028 Stihl that was great. Only issue was replacing the plastic oil pump gears. Otherwise I ran that till it wore out. I also picked up an 011 for trimming. Then got an 038 Magnum that was a beast. Such fantastic saws.
That is some beautiful work! At the steam and gas shows there are always vintage chainsaw collectors with displays. Those Homlites would fit right in. Thank you for sharing another great video.
Stihls don't do much for me.................That ole Blue XL Homelite is where is at. We cut with 3 of them for years, probably why my thumb is so big. Still have the red Super XL my dad bought new, that was the Cadillac, had an automatic oiler. Don't use it much now other than to trim fence rows, but makes me smile every time I run it yet. Can hear it miles away on a cold clear day, you feel like you accomplished something running that all day in the woods at night!
Another great video thanks, that is an awesome bench for your saws, I got an ms251c just last year as its so lightweight and easy to use as I'm pushing on now but had jonsereds for 40 years and still have them, but so heavy now after a few hours work. Keep those videos coming they are very informative 👍
Ran Homelites, red and blue, when I was young. The red XL snorted. Bought a new, only new saw ever, Husqvarna 455 Rancher in about 2007. An incredibly dependable saw with plenty of power. Way better than the Homelites. Less than $500. Cut between 4 and 6 cord of firewood every year and still going strong. Got an old Jonsered I'd sell ya!
I really like the chainsaw rack. That is really neat. Up in the Northwoods we cut a lot of wood for heat like you do. We peel popple in the spring yet too. (Might not do that much longer but will still log) My grandfather had Homelite saws like that Zip, still does the job for us. Otherwise Dad used a 70E Jonsereds with a 26 inch bar and a Poulan 25 with an 18 inch bar for limbing. Really neat that your Dad does carving. I always thought that is such artwork. I would love to watch that. Does he do that at the county fair??
When I first decided I was going to heat with wood about 12 or 13 years ago I bought a 290 and then a 180 for my dad who was in his 70s but wanted to help me cut. When buying the saws the dealer told me that was the first year where they zero was placed at the end of the number. My dad is gone now but I stuff use both saws with no problems.
I ran a 056 for the longest time cutting firewood than I bought a farmboss in 07 and cut probably 100 dumb truck loads of wood since and it's still going but I'm taking it easy on it this year I picked up a 550 homelite in brand new shape for 40 bucks at a yard sale best deal of my life
Y’all followed me on Instagram, so I thought I’d come and give a look. I picked this video as I’m kind of known for me saw collection amongst my friends, but you’ve put me to shame here. Not exactly sure of all my numbers. I have 3 antiques and then my Stihl saws. My first was an 039 Farm Boss from sometime mid 80’s I believe. Then in the last 15 or so years picked up a 650. Then I have the Combi system and one of the adapters is a mini saw head and I’ve a double extension for it. Then my last was an arborists saw. Don’t remember the number on it Kind of busy with things but will give your channel a bit of a look. I like what I see so far.
Growing up in the late 60's we had a Sears with an 18" bar and the plunge oiler. Those things had so much vibration and heavy as all get out. Then Dad pickup up a David Bradley with a 36" bar. What a beast. I prefer the new Stihl, light and comfortable and the handles are dampened.
Nice Saws I have some 361 stihls my dealer says the ms400 suppose to a good saw that 880 is a beast lol I have a 461 with a 36 inch bar that 880 with a 36 inch bar would be cool
u guys look like brothers LMAO!! I love your channel you boys work your asses off fillin that stove and feeding those cows that's how my dad lives he has a stove too but its not an outside one they are the best the one inside he has burns wood like newspapers and it fks up the inside of the house but the house is like 100 yrs old so it doesn't really matter anyways
Cool table and quite a collection. We have someone in our small residential area who does figure carvings (like an eagle) on the top portion of a 6-10 foot tree trunk, so the trunk acts as a pedestal. I imagine you have seen ones like them (loved the bear). You are very talented. Good video.
I have a 250 I've had for about 5 years now and for their size they are pretty decent little saws. I do just trimming around my property so it's my only saw but I grew up on a farm where we had to trim up fence line every so often etc and all we had back then was Stihls. As you know keep oil in them, grease the end of the bar (if applicable), run good gas in them, and don't leave them out and they will last you a lifetime.
I really enjoyed your Dad talking about his collection of chainsaws. I wish you guy’s could come and visit us here in Somerset County , Pennsylvania. Like wise, I like to come an visit you fellows up in Wisconsin. The area where you live is so much like Somerset County PA. Coming up in September we have two great festival, the 70 annual Farmers & Threshermens Jubilee and Mt. Craft Days. One of the events I love to watch is the fellows doing wood carving with their chainsaws. Do you fellows have any festival where you live? I’d love to watch you dad in action carving wood. Although I’m not a farmer, I have a few farm friends and like to get out in the fall to see them during harvest time. How sweet the smell of hay drying in the field or corn silage fresh off the field.
I have Husqvarna saws, mostly because the Husqvarna dealer is 8miles away, and the Stihl dealer is 20 miles away. Both are great saws and hold their value well. A couple good saws are a requirement, not an option when it comes to farming.
I'm 20 and I own 4 saws on one is a pioneer 610 and it's a 1950s 100cc + saw and the other old saw is a homelite super ez automatic 104033 from the 1970s
Lots of comments about Stihl being good/great saws....must be a different bunch of Stihl saws than the ones I've been around. Cant say I'm a fan. The local dealer in our area sells a few brands of saws. He said he couldn't sell a Stihl around here if his life depended on it. Funny how different areas have different likes and tastes.
Huge fan of the storage table. Building one myself now.
What an awesome collection of chain saws. Now I know to ask if I have questions about chain saws. Thanks again.
I cut wood when I was 16 with a Homelite XL12 just like yours, only mine was red. Wow ! Brings back a lot of memories. I must have put a thousand hours on that saw. That was my income as a teenager.

Stihl saws are the best, dad was a farmer/logger in Italy in the 60s, that's was what he used, very reliable. Great collection!!!
Awesome display TABLE!
This is actually your dad's youtube channel. He just lets you hold the camera :) another great video keep it up !
Amazing chain saw collection , more stories about his wood work making , stay safe , enjoy ! Congratulations !!
Love the Stihl collection, my collection ranges from a farm boss 025, 029, 2 ms 440s, 361 c, and my 660. Love the channel continued sucess
Cool video thanks for sharing love the ole saws!!!!!!!!

I love the table really practical. I use only Stihl myself very durable saws. Your wood carvings are awesome.
I remember those old Homelite saws. Like hanging on to a Volkswagen engine! lol :)
Awesome carvings. I would enjoy seeing a time-lapse of him carving, whenever there is a chance!
The knowledge your father has! Another great video!! I have a 19 year old Stihl farm boss, has cut many, many tri-axle loads of wood and still running strong!! Have a great day and look forward to your next video!!
Very impressive chainsaw collection. Your dad is a talented guy. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Great video. I was hoping you would show this. I just realized I need another chainsaw.😆

Your dad could start his own wood carving channel. Great ideas. Thanks for the video.
That is some beautiful work! At the steam and gas shows there are always vintage chainsaw collectors with displays. Those Homlites would fit right in. Thank you for sharing another great video.
Kinda looks like you Dad never saw a saw he didn't like. He sure knows how to use one!! Thanks 😊.
Was waiting for this!
Me 3!
Great stihl collection we also use stihl saws at home they are great saws German quality product and also great video like always keep it up.
I have a 180 and a066, just changed the clutch on the 180 and I love that little saw! Nice saw rack really great idea!
Nice line up of saws! Nothing better then cutting wood with your dad in the woods.
Great video really like the chainsaw carving’s
Wow! What a collection he has. This carvings are so beautiful. He must have some artist skills to do that. Really enjoyed the video.
Awesome video guys. Those pictures at the end were really cool! That's some serious talent from a guy who knows his chainsaws.

You should do a old saw restoration video. There are parts out there for lots of old saws. Thanks for sharing the collection!
Hello looks like you can do some excellent work. Have a good evening.

Another great Father/Son video . Does Dad do all that carving? Love to see him doing it.
Interesting video, another good job. I use Stihls too I just have an old 044 and a 056 AV love to use them
Nice collection
Very nice collection! I also love chainsaws!
Ugh, saw envy. Great video, bench is amazing and “working a day not stopping”! is so true. Like to know your thoughts/views are on that new MS 500i
Thats a nice collection. I'd like to run that 880 once!👍
Back in the day those Homelites were one of the best in the woods. Now they’re not much better than plastic toys.

George is very talented! The carvings by East End and Bushy’s are Indee landmarks for sure!
Holy crap thats a lot of saws. The 880 is a monster. I have a ms311
I ran a 056 for the longest time cutting firewood than I bought a farmboss in 07 and cut probably 100 dumb truck loads of wood since and it's still going but I'm taking it easy on it this year I picked up a 550 homelite in brand new shape for 40 bucks at a yard sale best deal of my life

I enjoy your videos, Paul from N.E Iowa
My dad was a man of many talents too!
I have Husqvarna saws, mostly because the Husqvarna dealer is 8miles away, and the Stihl dealer is 20 miles away. Both are great saws and hold their value well. A couple good saws are a requirement, not an option when it comes to farming.
What do you do on your gas oil mixture? No ethanol gas,? heavy on the oil? What brand of oil?
Having a 660 and a 880 your dad is SERIOUS about cutting trees! My brother Patrick has a 660 and it will cut down through a log in no time.
Wow mantap mesin nya bos 👍
I have two saws. I have barely any use for one but i think chansaws are the coolest
I'm 20 and I own 4 saws on one is a pioneer 610 and it's a 1950s 100cc + saw and the other old saw is a homelite super ez automatic 104033 from the 1970s
Nice Saws, I have a Stihl ms271c, thinking about either a ms291 or ms311
Brother, Where's all the good saws? The Husqvarna saws? 🤣🤣🤣 GREAT GREAT Video Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
do you like the stihl ultra ? if not what oil do you use?
Had a Homelite 750 that was like new. Sold it a few years ago and wish I would’ve kept it
i have a 038 saw ,, a 230 and a 170 .. the 038 is a heavy bastard but man she will cut the logs fast .. a saw for every job
@8:56 sweet sound
You have a LOT of saws!
You don't go golfing with one club, do you!
I thought we had alot of saws with 5 lol
You can't beat a Stihl , I've got got a half doze of em.
Lots of comments about Stihl being good/great saws....must be a different bunch of Stihl saws than the ones I've been around. Cant say I'm a fan. The local dealer in our area sells a few brands of saws. He said he couldn't sell a Stihl around here if his life depended on it. Funny how different areas have different likes and tastes.
Very interesting, but I'd rather see your dad do some of his carving.
I have a echoes 8000 with a 32 inch bar
Looks sort of like Jimmy Buffets guitar collection. Does that make your dad a chainsaw musician? Lol…
👍🏻
Fun fact: the Xl 12 was used in the evil dead movie
I have a mint homelite saw from my grandpa
Have you ever had a neighbor come over and want to know if you have a chainsaw they can borrow?😃
🇺🇲🇵🇱👍
Awesome set of saws. I have a trusty Stihl saw that fires up every time and never fails.
