The editing on these videos is fantastic. The cut ins are always 100% spot on. The wedge pounding cuts were awesome. Gotta love a good cutting video. Thanks Gordy!
Gordy. I reference movies all the time throughout the day and most of the time no one gets the references so I have to explain them. I love all the movie clips they come in when you least expect it. 😂 thanks for sharing.
You sure build a mean 044 Gordy. I happened to dyno the one you built me by chance, she hit 8hp! Pretty impressive. I could send you the dyno sheet if you’d like. Thanks for the content bud.
Find a 260 or 026.. Do a muffler mod.. pull the base gasket (some of them are tight squish so be sure to check!!) and you'll have a mean little nimble saw. The 026/260 is a great saw. The 250 is a "clamshell" design and harder to get anything out of.. and many builders don't like dealing with clamshell saws. That said a modest muffler mod can wake up many saws a good amount AND help get the heat out.
Awesome video! I admire that 044. One of my biggest regrets is parting ways with mine a few years ago. I currently have a 661c and 500i, both are decked out in WCS attire. There is just something about that 044 power to weight. It brings me joy seeing your’s work. Be safe and thanks again for sharing your workday with us. Brad in Florida
That will just be more great video content. 👌 I picked up your 3 point dogs and my 500i really likes them. We cut a lot of 4 and 5 ft live oaks every week and it really helps with the wide root base at the trunk. I even take it up in our teupen lift for crane rigging/cutting. It’s nice because the lowest dog keeps my bar high enough that it doesn’t rock down and hit the aluminum floor. Unlike the factory ones that did. Thanks again for making practical products that even you yourself use on a daily basis.
Love your guys videos, here in upstate NY, it was 50* today, and muddy, i bucked logs with my 034, and ran my ms460, fun, except the crummy conditions, I should invest in caulked boots! 🤔😆
I'm REALLY glad they are.. but with Tsumura, Sugi, and Rolex er I mean Canon they better make a great bar at a great price point to survive in this market. I never got to run one of the old ones but I hear they are almost as bad as the husqvarna wet noodles.
@@mattfleming86 rolex indeed hahahaha I agree though, if oregon makes them with the same design as before, they'll be competing pretty hard with stihl which uses the same basic design for their light bars but is more rigid
Dang it, I wish I woulda been there !! I've always got a key in the truck 😉 you guy's could've just kept cuttin and left your wedges on your belt !! Course it's good for you "old" guy's to get a good workout once in awhile 🤣🤣🤣 Great video Gordy I enjoyed it... Thank you ❤❤
It will be interesting to see what Oregon comes up with. I've had a lot of the lw bars from the start. Not super tough but they were still worth it. I even had a green 30 inch Oregon back in the day
I know exactly how Moustache Mike feels. Last week I was flopping pines over that surrounded a large lagoon. Had one break on me and go sideways crashing through the fence with the tip hanging over the edge of the liner. It was my fault and was pi$$ed at myself for a while afterwards. Great video chaps. Looked like a great session 👌
I wanted the Oregon lw with blue writing when i got mine several yrs back and just missed em…mines the red…have 36” tsumara on my 880 square ground .404 skip done by rich at myrtle cr right before he retired n his silvey…I should’ve got 1 back when they were to be had….he done my 394 way back ands on his channel under Ky build..wicked saw..I have a 262xp be neat ported runnin wfo with a 24” bar…run a 20” now…killer little patch to play in…matt
I don't know much about Logging. I'm a tree climber, but why did you guys take all those trees down. To me? They look small but I like I said. I don't know much about that, thank you so much. God bless gody
Great video Gordy, that 044 is angry! Love how you guys work together, need me a mustache Mike to tear up shit with. Love your chainsaw kits, bought 3 and installed one. Need to get the other 2 installed but dam good results with the first one. Used to live off your exit in the other side of the hwy. Wish I would’ve met you before I moved out of that libtard infested hell hole of a county. Your little corner is still pretty nice though if you don’t leave home. Keep kicking ass man, your company is great to deal with and quality is second to none. Video of my ms291 build on my channel.
What a fun job! I'm kinda jealous in a way. Looking at those grafted firs I wonder what the lumber would look like at the grafting point. Keep em coming!
Hey Gordy, I understand Westcoast saws isn't doing port work on saws anymore. I'm here in Eastern WA and need some work done. Can you recommend anyone for me to use? Thanks!
Love the channel and love how you and guilty will collaborate. But I had a random question you ever mess with the farmertec or holzforma saws. I run a ms170 and 362c for my side business, but just to tinker with I thought about pickin up a 661clone and throwing some of your upgrades to it
what i like to do when wedging is start with 2 singles then if those arent enogh ad one double take the weight off and 2 doubles and then swing 1 then 2 1 then 2 basically the same as singles ive banged over one 3 foot maple with lean back and all the limbs on the back side the limbs were bigger than some of the trees i cut and it was the last tree of the day also cut it with a 50cc saw and 18inch bar
Hello Gordy! Did You heard about impact wrench driven wedges? Like "BastIngValFast" or others? Here in the EU it's standard. For big heavy trees I think they are too weak, but for work like in the video perfect. Kind regards, Wolfgang
I’d like to know more about “how it works” type of thing. That just sounds to good to be true. Maybe you know of a vid about them or something that could better explain it to us Americans. We mostly don’t need it to be in English because we are fairly bright with mechanical types of things. We would just like to see it in action and then we can draw our own conclusions regarding the “viability” for our particular situations and needs. If our previous responder has any ideas for a European channel that might have them in action then I’d like to know.
The first I heard of the new Oregon lightweight was about 4 years ago. They were testing a bar with some type of plastic insert. My guess is they weren't happy with the results.
Funny story, i was working the landing and my work partner left his saw sitting on the shale road and the 980 backed over it and it was flat as a pancake. Not sure if any part, even the chain was usable after that!
Yess, a 45 min video of what the people want!
The editing on these videos is fantastic. The cut ins are always 100% spot on. The wedge pounding cuts were awesome. Gotta love a good cutting video. Thanks Gordy!
Much appreciated!
I agree!!! The pov cameras are badass on all the footage!!! U guys rocked it very nice!!!
Who needs a gym membership when you can fall timber for a living? Nice work Gordy and Mike! 👏👏👏
Exactly!
There is not a more satisfying sound than that of a built and tuned saw, deep in the wood. It's a goddamn symphony.
😊❤😊
There's Jed's 44 again, making me want to buy stuff at the Westcoast shop.
nice video you deserve more subscribers. Keep the videos coming
Thanks, will do!
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
I saw the sparks on the first tree and i was like, yup... But twas all good!
Love your attitude and passion for the work Gordy! Life is a gift keep on doing what you do brotha!
Thanks I may not be here for a long time but I am here for a good time 😁👍
Heck of video Gordy
The anchorman bit almost made me spit my coffee out, great stuff brother!
Thanks Gordy you made this rainy morning fun to be stuck indoors
Enjoy your videos, that was a close one. 60% of the time works every time.
That doesn’t make sense 😂
Good to see you guys still bringin Jed out to reduce shade, never a dull moment with you and Mike cuttin together. Safe cuttin pard
Thanks 👍
Another awesome video Gordy keep them coming!!!
The editing cut ins were spot on!!
Love the stars and stripes!
..thanks for the morning stoke!
Gordy. I reference movies all the time throughout the day and most of the time no one gets the references so I have to explain them. I love all the movie clips they come in when you least expect it. 😂 thanks for sharing.
Thanks for noticing. I didn’t know if anybody liked them or not🤷♂️😆
Dude! They make the show! 😂 well worth the time taken 😂😂😂
@@westcoastsaw1368 I love em man
@@westcoastsaw1368i notice good job sir😊
@@westcoastsaw1368everything makes me think of a song, it can be annoying…I like the movie quotes.
Great video. That looked like a great job, down only on flat ground. You guys killed it.
Once in a while we get these it’s real nice 👌
You sure build a mean 044 Gordy. I happened to dyno the one you built me by chance, she hit 8hp! Pretty impressive. I could send you the dyno sheet if you’d like. Thanks for the content bud.
8hp from a 70cc class machine is just an unheard of thing. SPECTACULAR is what I’m saying! Good on you to get that little dude. 👍🫡
I have no idea where this one is running 🤷♂️
Man oh man you guys make a two man force to be reckoned with! Love the longer video ! Wish I could send you my MS 250 to do your magic Gordy lol
Find a 260 or 026.. Do a muffler mod.. pull the base gasket (some of them are tight squish so be sure to check!!) and you'll have a mean little nimble saw. The 026/260 is a great saw.

Awesome video. No b/s just cutting. Kinda feel like part of the crew through a gopro.

Yep that 044 is a hard one to match I got a brand new 440 in the shop I need to build up up that way I got another if this one bits the dust

Hey Gordie, interesting news that Oregon is bringing back a light bar 👍👍
When are they bringing them back?
@@alejandroserrano6173 In the video he say it won't be for a good while

Great video Gordy.
Picking up all your gear for my 500i from my local dealer on Monday - reppin the brand buddy!!
Awesome Video!! Nice Job!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Always enjoy your videos. Awesome job guys.
Thanks for watching
Nice cutting brother!
Thanks 👍
Mustache Mike, your chain is sharp!
Ok its only a softwood, but it glides like a hot knife through the butter!
That 044 is a sweet saw !
Great Teamwork! Awsome job... medium size wood and flat terrain, just felling. That looked like a relaxing task. ;)
Mustache-And we will never speak of this again. Have a great weekend!!
Awsome job there guys
It will be interesting to see what Oregon comes up with. I've had a lot of the lw bars from the start. Not super tough but they were still worth it. I even had a green 30 inch Oregon back in the day
Fingers crossed!
Wonderful video Gordy!
That bar got pinched pretty good...
Great video !
What was up with the sparks on the first tree of the day and some stones in the tree or something?

Had one break on me and go sideways crashing through the fence with the tip hanging over the edge of the liner. It was my fault and was pi$$ed at myself for a while afterwards. Great video chaps. Looked like a great session 👌
Pretty good little trick using the tip to climb the bar up the undercut 🤙🏻
Great video as expected
Hopefully when Oregon comes out with a new light bar it’s not floppy and fragile like the early blue label ones
great video. I'd love to get an Oregon light bar, excited if they do make those again!
nice work men
'Murica wedge for the win!
That co-dom by the road - nicely done .
Welcome to Pound-Town!! 😊
I’d like see a 056 on here someday…or old 70cc 038…
Nice work boys! Just curious, you guys do jobs like that by the hour or do you bid one price for the job?
Depends
dude you need to do more of these love the falling videos i need to come to work for you as wedge banger i love swinging a axe
Nice work looks like fun😊
Nice work fellas! I got tired just watching you guys bang those last few over. Been there, it gets the ol' blood pumping real good.

Nice work!
At the END of the day?!
Super nice work
Way to push through
Gonna finish it tomorrow.....time for bed here in VA! Looks like a good time!
Have a good week sir
Thank you.
With all that cutting, how many times did you have to sharpen your chain?
None
What a fun job! I'm kinda jealous in a way. Looking at those grafted firs I wonder what the lumber would look like at the grafting point.
Keep em coming!
Hey Gordy, I understand Westcoast saws isn't doing port work on saws anymore. I'm here in Eastern WA and need some work done. Can you recommend anyone for me to use? Thanks!
I get the whole finishing the job and going home, I also get the going home idea. 27:02 WTF!
I like your style 💪
best channel on youtube
Bro I love the movie clip inserts. Please keep doing that shit, lol.
Will do I have a lot of fun trying to find the right clips
Looks like a real "team trust exercise" at 26:45-27:00. Mike's gotta be thinking "why don't I ever get to cut the rear tree?"
Love the channel and love how you and guilty will collaborate. But I had a random question you ever mess with the farmertec or holzforma saws. I run a ms170 and 362c for my side business, but just to tinker with I thought about pickin up a 661clone and throwing some of your upgrades to it

@@ToddAdams1234 could always search you tube, Valfast impact wedge
Not sure about carrying that thing around all day
Leave it to the Europeans to overcomplicate a piece of plastic 😆
Wow. Massive effort for a day.... Really nice work 🤙 Are you using the axe you made with Jonah Conrad for pounding wedges?
Love the videos keep em coming! Just curious what kind of walkies you guys got?
These are Midlands
Sweet, Thank you!@@westcoastsaw1368
Nearly crushes the saw…that’s a real bushwacker move
🤣🤣🤣for sher
That was a huge day 2.
I want my 461 built real bad. Love the saw but I bet it would really be a beast with gordys touch
Let’s get a package deal… I have a 460 and would do it too😂😂
Gordy doesn’t build saws anymore. I can help you if you’re interested?
Who needs a gym membership when you can fall timber for a living?
He pulled out the candy corn wedge had me dying
Are those noble firs they grafted onto Doug firs?
I wasn’t sher I think they were some kind of high elevation fir
When you day "I lost a couple" what does that mean?
It means they didn’t go where they were supposed too 😆
The first I heard of the new Oregon lightweight was about 4 years ago. They were testing a bar with some type of plastic insert. My guess is they weren't happy with the results.
Is it still easy for a lumberjack to get a job there...
How many log truck loads do you think that is?
22 loads
Heck yea a long video.
Funny story, i was working the landing and my work partner left his saw sitting on the shale road and the 980 backed over it and it was flat as a pancake. Not sure if any part, even the chain was usable after that!
Ouch that sucks my buddy Shane had the feller buncher run over his 661 🤦♂️hate to see saws go out like that
No sizwheels or Dutchmen?
That kinda SHHH… Stuff 😂😂
Hey Gordy, What's been done to this 044? Port work ETC. I've got a 440 & need it running like this.
