Really enjoy this time with you. At 66 I went out recently and purchased a little Stihl 180 for my small yard work in Louisville KY. never ran a chain saw (it’s not a power saw) but the satisfaction is rewarding. Been selling Caterpillar equipment for 40 years so I really enjoy mechanical things. Thanks for your videos and your words of wisdom. I will try and be kinder.

My dad graduated High School just in time for WW2.  He was in the Pacific. I learned how to be a SeaBee beginning at age 9. Only when I started watching the History Channel and the War in the Pacific did I understand my Father

Today I learned that Homelite used to produce good stuff

You may never see this comment, as the video is a year old, but I’ve watched several times. My favorite so far. Amazing that it also included your insights on your Dad.  Great words. I’m an old Homelite guy. Like, almost 70 old. Use mostly just some old SXLAOs and a few XL-12s unless I need big for a fall or little for pruning.  The 2 second difference in cut time notwithstanding, I’ll keep them. Ya see, I got started on them from my Dad. He had some old Macs too, but liked the Homeys best. Every time I pull the cord on one, I think of that old timberbeast. Good thoughts. And his shop and work bench looked about like yours. Thanks for the channel. I watch it a lot more than the news!

10 10 & Xl 12 were definitely icons of the  industry probly even more popular here in the Southeast that on the West coast..

That was a great video!!

I'm porting a Homelite xl76 that should take the title lol!!

That Old Homelite Just Digging Away. Music 🎶 to My Ears Hearing Both

Buckin',  I  realized something about my dad, he should have done a better job parenting but he couldn't.  That was his best, things happened to him when he was young that shaped how he would parent. That was sooo freeing for me. I'm trying to be the best parent I can be because my kids need me to do that. Thank you for sharing.  This too shall pass,  one day at a time.

My dad run homelite 1050 for over 20 years, he didn’t think there was a saw that could compete with it. He bought it new in California came with 36 inch bar and 42 bar he sold it running in year 2000. Now I want one even though I dnt need one I dont cut wood for living. But reminds me of some of my best times as a kid

Buckin' army put a big ole smile on my face today. Was up and out cleaning storm damage in town before work this morning. Much love to all!

Buckin'  , I started watching your channel for the tips on felling, but have discovered the real message is about MY example and the kindness I can show others . thanks

My grandpa and dad ran homelite and pioneer.

And also the comparing homalite to a McCulloch not bad not bad at all I think you should take the Homelite with you more often

I know this is an older video but I just picked up an xl12 with a 20" bar at an estate sale for $18.  They couldn't get it started and there didn't seem to be much interest in it.  Long story short I took it home, inspected the empty fuel tank, added fuel and it fired up on the third pull and runs like a champ.

I just got my dads homelight saw back it had gotten stolen a few years back a few days after he had past away and I am going to get it running again ,thanks for this video and God bless you and your family

Guy:how many axes do you have?
Billy: yes

Got a xl 12 nice saw is loud. Can't believe going say this think homelite might pull the Mac.

Lol the whole "Sunday, sunday, sunday....Its not sunday"

Enjoyed this thank you Bayou Country...thanks to you Buckin’ too for the philosophy ...it’s all about choices isn’t it?" Butch from Florence Texas
