I have LOL'd all the way through this thread.
Didn't watch the vid... from what I have gathered in the past "vid threads" there's nothin' to learn on it...
Unless I was some Youtube ego stroker...

Were I a betting man I'd wager you get more stroking on the later .

That bar looks like a 7 footer .Lawdy it would take a box of files and a 12 pack to file that thing-----not to mention a small crane just to pick it up .

That bar must really bow a lot when you hold it out.

... one time we walked into the sawshop , there was a large powerhead with a long bar.sitting on the floor ... owned by the largest local mill , they use it to true up the ends of the stickered piles , seems like the fit into the kiln dryer has to be exactly right .... I picked it up by the wrap handle , CLUNK ! , that heavy nose weight was not what I was used to ... amazing that when you West coasters run'em it looks like the balance is a lot better

With a very long bar, is there some trick to starting the cut without a bow in it? I normally cut a little notch for the tip when starting the cut, then walk the bar into the tree, but I'm thinking there must be another way.

I'm guessing most of the cut's done with a shorter bar, then the big boy gets slid on in for the finish.
