Chainsaw Introduction and Safety Discussion

[Applause] [Music] so I'm going to address the white elephant in the room Frankie does not have the right PPE on and you know what normally I don't have the right PPE on either and the reason we're doing that is not because we want we don't want you guys to be safe it's because it's just natural to us it's the way we were born and raised because you don't get it most of you guys don't even understand that when we were growing up didn't have any money for PPE you barely had a chainsaw and old Johnson root is what I ran for ever and so I want to show you guys what you guys need to do I want you guys to be safe don't do what we do you know you're gonna need chaps you're gonna need a hard hat face shield your hearing protection cut proof gloves keep yourself safe just because you see Frankie and I doing it doesn't mean that it's the right way to do it oh and speaking of the right way to do it here's another thing how do you guys like to come out here and tell me we don't know how to cut wood and yeah we're not professional artists you will see a video coming out with professional arborists where we're actually using a tree a crane and rigging it and doing that whole thing work two guys that have ran chainsaws for I don't know I'm 48 I probably ran chainsaw for at least 32 33 years and Frankie about he's 10 years older than me so he's ran it for about 48 50 years so we got a little bit of experience under our belt so you want to tell us we don't know how to run chainsaw go ahead I really don't care what you say so here's the scenario it's not if this tree is going to hit my shed right there it's when it's aiming directly at it pretty much lined up perfectly to drop right straight on it but here it gets better look at what the woodpeckers have done to this thing this thing's one solid puff and this is going to drop straight down so let's see if we can keep it from doing that we're gonna have a little bit of fun with these two trees the first one we're gonna put a rope on it and pull it to get it to go on the right direction but the second tree we're just going to cut even though it's leaning toward the shed I'm going to attempt to cut it to get it to drop but then I'm going to put my camera exactly where I want this tree to hit well about eight inches away from where I want it to hit so I'm gonna get to the tree I'm gonna try to get the tree to drop right next to my camera without
