    I am told that sharpening handsaws is a dying art.... this must mean I am an artisan.

    Get your handsaws sharpened properly to the highest possible standard, the only way they should be done, BY HAND, BY ME!!! I only accept perfection in any saw I sharpen.

    Well, he did have a safety chock in place, but he kept knocking it out on the back-swing...
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    I would think that he might have done this before. The question should be what is the person with the camera doing?

    the thing is, if you look closely, it appears he wouldn't even be halfway through!!!

    Default That Tree.

    Hi All,
    By Crikey that wood? have taken him quite a while to get through that Tree.
    My other point is, look at the length of th Axe Handle. He sure is keeping out of the way.

    i did realise that, I was more inferring that he still had about 3 days work to go on the back cut and that it was a F&*^%ing big tree to be falling with an axe.

    reckon he could have re shingled his hut with what he has cut out of it already!
