What are the odds?

Was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about a job he was doing.

He Says "Get the camera and come check this out"

Not expecting much, I went up there.

Nail in the hinge!

 

[sawinredneck]

WOW!! I doubt you will ever see that again!
Most times I have barbed wire all the way through my back cut

VERY neat pic, thanks for taking it and sharing it BTW!

 

[gf beranek]

Wow! Couldn't have worked out better if you wanted it to. Can't say I've been so lucky with nails.

Once I cut a 16 penny perfectly in half for its full length. I should have taken a pic of that one.

in indiana i found an old metal hitching post grown into a removal i did for s and s
horses head and ring on top of it,
hit that sob in the face cut, and couldnt tip it over even with a crane, had to get a loader from the quarry to push it over, screwed up a lot of chains
found soft metal shot from civil war era home in princeton indiana
and like andy lots of barbed wire, and fence posts in back cuts
thank god for high stumping

My personal best was a full sized railroad spike in the stump cut. Last cut of the day. Took me an hour and a half to get that stump flushed off.

I got six nails on the two cuts of my undercut once. With a brand new chain on the 32" bar. Somewhere out by my shop that pie is still kicking around, I brought it home with me.

Guess the odds are pretty good!

 

[Mr. Sir]

Umm, let's see; things I've cut - Nails, railroad spikes, rebar, bullets, chain link fence, barb wire, galvanized pipe, electrical conduit, concrete, stones, golf balls, and a horseshoe, just to name a few.

 

[stehansen]

Wow Brett.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Lordy, that looks like a beeyotch!

 

[Knotahippie]

My buddy said he could feel something in the cut, just thought it was a knot or something.

I havent run into anything...Yet(knock on wood!).

 

[SkwerI]

Then you haven't been cutting long enough.

 

[Knotahippie]

I resemble that comment!

 

[sotc]

Seems to come in runs here, every tree for a week or nothing for months

Wrecked a new 020 chain 60' up a London Plane once, confused the hell outta me then I worked out it was shrapnel from WW2

 

[Tommy_B]

Thats a brilliant picture!! Cheers for putting it up!!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Lots of lead from shotguns, and plenty nails when milling. Crazy steel markers of some sort in a particular orchard near Stockton, every tree had a bunch. That's where I perfected my sharpening technique.

One through the hinge, that's a keeper.

Usually barbed wire for me.. Only once in the hinge though...
A ceramic insulator once at about 20 foot up... Trashed a 36 skip on the 066.. We have a lot of old telegraph wire up here too.
