Nice Kevin, we both have a pretty similar routine/method mixing axes and battery chainsaw; Felling with axe or saw depending of the mood, limbing with axe because it's too much fun , bucking with the saw. The only difference for me is I don't have and can't use motorized engine in my environment, so I don't buck on site. I just do 9-12 feet logs with axe or saw and bring everything back to somewhere near my home or a road to finish the job. I did once buck several ricks on site, and then spent two days bringing everything back to home, never again :D ! Eager to watch you make the handle.
Making your own handles is hard work and time consuming but deeply satisfying. I would love to try out elm but sadly the English Elm is now as rare as rocking horse poop. I am looking out for a good large holly log as I have a fancy that might work well. I use an electric chainsaw a lot now, but budget means I'm restricted by a cable...... spot the envy ! Look after those arms of yours buddy, they have got to last all your life !
Every time you show off that little electric saw I get closer to buying one haha. Love how light and quiet they are. How are you liking your side by side? Should be great for the things you like to do.
Man, I’d trade a lot of things for that battery saw. You’ll want two batteries and a charger obviously, which makes it crazy expensive to get into, but it’s the first tool I pick up when I’m going to the woods for the day. The side by side is a game changer for me, especially because I just re-injured my knees.
You definitely shared some good limbing witchery there. Might add that battery saw to my Christmas list. Great video, Kevin. That was like half Polaris commercial...love it. Cheers!
I love limbing. It’s my favorite pet of the process. While expensive to get into, that saw is invaluable to me as a land owner. And you’re right, Polaris should pay me lol.
Unfortunately I cut the bow staves too short. I thought 59” was plenty, but Simon said I need like 80” to start with for a long bow, so I might just make shovel handles or something like that. We’ll see.
What brand of log peavy is that? I've been looking for a good one to buy to use at my parents house where I buck and split firewood for their personal use. They are just so handy to have around. Super cool wood to use for handles and such! Stay blessed and stay safe out there!
Not sure of the brand. Got it from Amazon: Felled | Log Peavy - 49 Inch Wood Peavey Logging Tool Log Roller Tool Carbon Steel Logging Cant Hook with Wooden Shaft a.co/d/b8xybjK
Yeah, fun little series. Be awhile before I can actually haft an axe with the wood, but worth putting the time in for the future. Not a lot of great options left for handles. House Handles is probably the best. They usually have stock and are pretty cheap and not stupid thick.
Best one ever. I assume that saw is like $400.00? Mellow! Yeah I hate cranky two stroke noise, Kudos on being respectful during hunting season. Love the slap shot axe limbing. Is that the Kelly? Stay tuned for the Old Man's Polaris adventures . Redneck Golf Cart.
Yes sir, that’s the plan. Going to do one by hand with wedges, one free hand with a chainsaw, and one with an Alaskan mill. Be a neat comparison, I hope.
Well I'm glad the see that rest of the world and us have moved on from the Buckin' Billy Ray tiff. It is satisfaction indeed when you make yourself a handle from a tree or limb you cut yourself and carved, sanded, or willed into existence.
Yeah, folks get bored easily. I’m sure there’s still guys out there who hate me, not sure about Buckin, but such is life 🤷♂️. I still catch the odd angry comment every couples days, but yes about over I reckon.
I think Buckin needs to step away from , wow I'm a utube star before he gets hurt or someone with little experience trys what he does. By the way I was a proud logger for over 25 years. I have watched and thought your lucky to be alive. Never be afraid of calling someone out .
Thanks man, that means a lot you saying that. I like Buckin. Still do. I was just hoping for a conversation is all. Perhaps my incendiary original title was the wrong tactic to take, but I still stand by what I said and how I said it. Oh well, what’s done is done.
@@KevinsDisobedience I think you definitely handled the whole situation better than any of us could have. I definitely would've made things worse before stopping to think and be civil.

Sometimes it’s nice to work without all the noise. But if I have time, I will always limb with an axe!
nice toys. Enjoyed the vid a lot
Thanks
A combination of your skills and that axe made short work of that limbing job. Nice work sir!
My favorite thing to do with an axe.
Clean, tactical limbing with that axe! Cool pattern. Go the ranger!

Rare over 8” here too. They rarely get to this size before getting sick. So I was happy to find this one growing on the wood line.
Nice ranger! That thing handy 👌
Already proving itself.
Lots of great stuff in this one! That axe is a bit of a laser beam. I'm still very impressed with that saw.
Was my idea of a perfect pulpwood axe. Owen made it for me as part of the Lamaca Work Axe trade.

great video kev ❤ look forward to the bow and handle staves

@@KevinsDisobedience ah yea that’s rough. Sorry to hear that man. Im looking forward to it anyhow.
Good work as usual, Owen did a nice job with that axe also that electric saw looks slick.
Yeah, we worked back and forth to come up with what I wanted as an ideal pulpwood axe for trees this size and smaller.
That axe sure is a slicer. Sweet ride too.
Really admiring that axe!
That Polaris is sweeeeet!!!!
Nice to have, that’s for sure. Worth the money, 🤷♂️

@@KevinsDisobedience thanks for the info. I'll check it out. Stay blessed!
This is a great thing to put on TH-cam! It’s such a great skill being able to fell a tree and turn it into great handles.
Yeah, fun little series. Be awhile before I can actually haft an axe with the wood, but worth putting the time in for the future. Not a lot of great options left for handles. House Handles is probably the best. They usually have stock and are pretty cheap and not stupid thick.
That is a sharp axe for sure!
Just sharpened it with a stone before I went out, and it sits around 17-18 degrees with just a small secondary.

They’re pricey with the charger and batteries. But for the bare tool, yeah I think that’s about right. Worth the price though in my mind.
That axe is tuned up nicely! Are you going to quarter the logs that you will use for handles?
Yes sir, that’s the plan. Going to do one by hand with wedges, one free hand with a chainsaw, and one with an Alaskan mill. Be a neat comparison, I hope.
@@KevinsDisobedience I like that idea, that's gunna be cool
