Stihl appreciation day.

Damn. A birthday bruised shoulder and torn rotator cuff lol. That's just awesome
 
I always wear gloves. I must be a baby! I was laughing because I found a cheap pair at Menards that I used on Saturday and it was raining off and on. They were a nylon material on the back and looked like deerskin for the palm side. When I took them off, my hands looked like they belonged on an Oompa-Loompa. The dye took a long time to wash off my hands, too.


That's awesome, but no pix? If there's pix, post them here. Yeah I usually wear gloves, but I have a few pair and they're ALL misplaced.

Funky shot with the blade less effect.
 
No pics of the oompa-loompa hands, unfortunately. I thought about that the next morning when it was mostly faded off.

Not quite, but a little sore. The coating is slowly coming off the blade and I'll say that the Ka-Bar versions are getting used more around my house than my Camillus versions.

Yeah cellphone camera + dad as cameraman has that effect. I found a couple more pix that I uploaded.

I tried pushing the damned thing over at least a dozen times, but it always seemed to require just a bit more chopping.

No ladies, I'm sorry but that's just my Becker.

next time, sit down and chop :)

no backcut?

me? i'd use an axe. higher up too... cleanup work is best left to the saw, or a tractor (more material == better hauling) - can't remember how many thousands of trees i've had to take out, i'm lazy... i love axes...

but, at least once, knowing your Machax, or other knife can do that? priceless.

good job :)

NB: if you can avoid it, do not chop knots on evergreens. even with an axe. that's why god made dynamite.
 
Stihl Happy After All These Years
 
I know my old ass would have worn out before it was done. ;)
