  • what model husqvarna are you using in this video. looks like it could be the 445 18"?

  • @radiojustus this saw is a 346xp with a 16" bar by far my Fav. saw for doing this kind of work!

  • @polarismod828 do you believe that the Echo-440 is a comparable saw? I am in the market and there is no real Husqvarna dealer in my area, but there is an Echo dealer and I realize that preference for commercial loggers is the Husqvarna and I am willing to purchase one on-line, but at the same time I would like to be able to take my saw to someone when I need it and Echo has a 5 year warranty. curious

  • @radiojustus I would never compare a pro saw to a Echo. but I do know a guy who buys echo's and throws them away when he is done with them because they are so much cheaper. I personally own 5 Husqavarna's a Stihl and one Echo with a carving bar. you can not go wrong with the 346xp not sure how much you will be running it, but if you are not using it everyday it will last your lifetime! Go with the 346 you wont be disappointed.

  • How do u know how deep to cut? Half diameter of next log??

  • @patrq The log I am notching has a traced line on it from the log below called a scribe line. You set the log on the wall trace the log below with a tool called a log scribe, then cut to the line not passing it.

  • Looks like a real good job on the notches. The only down side to this would be after 50 notches cut in a day your hands would still feel like they were still on a chainsaw and still cutting notches all night long in your sleep.

  • @primos97hunter  Douglas Fir

  • What kind of wood is that?

  • he has skill, great video
