I gotta say, he seems to be down to earth. Really likes his old saws, forgets everything else once he picks one up it seems. And passionate about his work. I dig his videos
 
What kind of chainsaw was he using? It sounded exactly like my dad's blue Craftsman from the 1960's. Brought back memories of my childhood.
 
He said that he, "didn't like the forums." Too much (according to him) of what he deems, "negativity." I invited him to chech this place out a time er 2. No luck.
 
In a way I can appreciate the childlike glee, but don't see much benefit to watching more than a couple of his videos for entertainment. Better mentors and teaching videos are available (hint, August, hint Reg C, hint Stig).
 
I may have said in the past derogatory things about this guy (like he’d care!)

But I take them all back, he’s bloody good at the job, and my word he keeps a sharp saw.
 
He's different but mostly right I reckon. I sometimes find him hard to follow, his descriptions are more art than science. The go where he wants though. Good fun for a felling addict like me. Mitch Zenobi has been turning out some good swing/redirect vids lately.
