It is a rare and special treat to be able to join Tom in his shop and see how he works. I plan on asking him a lot of questions and gaining as much knowledge as I can during this series so saddle up!

That chalkline method is genius, so simple even for that big of a piece and the result was very nice and tidy.
Yes! I've been waiting for this!
Favorite parts: "No goddamn oil" and Samurai goofing off in the background air humping.
There's the Samurai we love! So good to see you having fun again. 😊
This guy is awesome. glad you got back up with him.
This is awesome. Can't wait for the next video. Remember Samarai, safety second, eyes and ears. Very important
i cant wait to see more of this series!!
i love to see people handling a chainsaw with craftsmanship skill,im from the uk and have just started watching timber kings,where pioneer homes build these crazy log homes for the rich,the design is mind bending good,all done with chainsaws and traditional handtools etc
I love that he is so particular and precise with his centering and measurements...then he pulls out a chainsaw to make the precision cuts! Love it!
Thanks for keep my culture alive Tom 👳🏾♂️🏹🪶🦅🦊🦚🐺🦃🩸🧬
What an awesome experience! I'm looking forward to seeing more of this.
this is FANTASTIC!
I have been waiting for this one. Thanks!
Unbelievably everything free hand
I am very impressed!
That was excellent! Looking forward to more from Tom!!!

Super excited for this series!
Great first video in series! There are many people who are interested in hand wood carving, northwest native art and greatly respect the native art. Please continue the series. The close up video on the master carver's techniques and how he uses the tools are very valuable. Suggestions: put a microphone on Tom, the master carver, so we can hear him better; get him to talk more rather than yourself because he has a lot of experience and wisdom and deserves tremendous respect.
Great video! Clearly described and informative. Lucky to find Tom to show us how its done.
nice to see tom back! thanks for the vid guys!
I look forward for more. I really enjoyed this
Keep these videos with Tom coming as long as he's willing, they are super interesting.
Thanks for this content, looking forward to the rest of them
Hearing protection is the coolest thing ;)
Unbelievable how a rough tree log was made so circular. He made it look so simple in his method, but that is some serious skill!
love this guy. what a boss
So glad to see you back there, I was hoping you would do another video but few is even better.
Woah! Great stuff, good to see Tom again and looking forward to the videos to come. Learned something new today, how to round out a log with a huge chain saw! Good work, cheers!
Well done Tom, put them young bucks to work!!
Thanks for showing this. I'm watching it with my kids for sure!
His technique is brilliantly simple! He's got to be a patient man.
"Haste makes waste."
Hi Tom. Remember me? Ron Stacy. I like your new (to me) workshop. I'm up here in the Okanagan being mostly retired, but still pretty busy. It's nice to see you and that your still carving.
Ron Stacy hey ron , how da hell are you
Hey Tom. Doing all right here in the Okanagan, but miss you guys doing nifty stuff and doing it together from time to time. I've set up a little bit of a woodworking shop again. When I left Sidney, I got rid of most of my tools, except the carving tools, but I've been re-stocking on equipment so I'm about to get back in it with both feet. Just got back from Europe. Never occurred to me to go there until recently. Pretty cool; art everywhere, and sculptures, of course. I'm enjoying seeing you work, but haven't seen part 2 yet. You haven't really changed at all, except your girth, just like me. We've got about ½ an acre here, a double size house, so we can use half for studio/workshop and half to live in. There's an archery range out back. Not much real art or 3D work here except for 2 or 3 artists.
Glad to see this come back. :) Such artistry.
The dance moves, put a smile on my face.
The that guy some Oil and Gas. That was funny, reminded me of my grandpa when I used all his gas for my dirt bike.
Thanks! Looking forward to the next one!
Wooo! This is exciting!
Such a simple concept but so much work!
Tom seems legit!
No fuzz there at all.
You should start a GoFundMe to get Tom a lathe. I'd put up some of my Canadian pesos to make this old dude cry.
OMG!! This is going to be great!!!!
Just put it on the lathe
Psyklops I
We gonna need a bigger lathe...
was gonna say the same thing! There are lathes for logs so
Psyklops why waste the money when you can do it yourself. Plus it's cooler.
Expensive machinery
Oh boy, I've been waiting for this series. Thanks.
Nice initiative! Really looking forward to see this native master craftsman doing his thing!
I remember some people asking for this, this is a great way of creating content and relaxing... :-) so keep them coming.
That guy is a boss. And hilarious when he starts talking about the chain oil.
I was hoping you'd be getting to this again. Love it!
Wow just wow. Genius to round the log with string and a chain saw. I would have sent untold time and money trying to spin the log (which seems like the worst solution now).
Jamie Greenwood I'm confused... yes he can follow the chalkline with the bar, but there is no way for him to keep the saw at a consistent angle other than years of experience... doesn't really seem genius. He could hold the saw perfectly level, but chances are it is wavering around quite a bit and varies from cut to cut...
I usually move shit like this with my special powers! Like a winch and a floor jack ! There are tools that would eliminate most of all the pre measuring and cutting for relatively cheap when it comes to time and labor. This is why they developed mills back in like before Jesus Christ and the Totem Carvers. Also, dulling that many chainsaw blades must not be very economical of fun to sharpen. Awesome vid tho. This is some good stuff.
good video, looking forward to more in this series!
I'm excited to watch this
The de Geest sense of humor at 8:25 lol
lol, Spoken like a true wood carving Native Man,,,lol. Sounds like my uncle talking about his "gas and oil" situations,,,, Thank you for doing this video and for sharing it with us. :)
Stoked this video is finally out!
Samurai's back in the gym then 💪
kudos on using an old teflon tape roll for the extra mic cord!
Cool video! Looking forward to following the progress!
WoW so much work just to get ready to start up the preparation for the set up WoW
I like the "get ya some" dance @ 8:40ish lmao..... Tom is a stud, great video and way to give Tom some publicity he's doesn't seem like he cares too much though... thanks for posting
A lot of the small Korean villages used to have totem poles.
A bandsaw mill would save his lower back...and be more efficient...but not as impressive.
Such precision. Wow.
Also, that tricep comment was hilarious.
That was some fine handling on that chain saw. Looked fun though . God bless and keep em coming . . .
Think that is back breaking work? Just think of how it used to be done. Awesome video!
Sawyer is showing off at 8.40, lol. This guy's good!
Oh hell yea dude, was super excited to see this in my box
Fascinating.
Oh this is going to be Great!
Dope!
I see good things coming with your work with Tom Jesse, been waiting patiently- I'm actually a little giddy.
10:54
That's what she said.
I am curious myself to see the layout, it's very fascinating to me. You should let him use your chisel of power on this.
all you bros who have a better way to do it, post your videos on how you can do that better
Enjoyed this video & your channel
Sick tri's bro
Waiting for Pt2 :)
Awesome! Looking forward to the following parts :).
wicked man. wessssssst coast!
My older brother from up north is rezzzeddddddddd out tooooo the maxxxx. Don’t worry red brethren, they still our chainsaw oil and gas too down here.
Awsome
Rock n roll that poll homie!
Our Sensei Tom's grasshopper
Tom is BA!
If I was doing that on a regular basis, I think I would build a timber frame lathe, and turn it.
This guy should have his own channel.
Haha those triceps. I suppose they look small because you're so tall.... keep up the good stuff man.
No more god damn oil.
haha
Jake Wallace sounds like my brother when his sons raid his workshop!!!
its just too good
Is that Cedar wood? Fun video! Scary chainsaw!!
Yes, it's red cedar.
Didn't really notice the triceps but I did notice that the belly is getting big.
8:25
Maybe his triceps fell into his belly. lol I think the same thing is happening to me. Sucks getting older but its better than the alternative. :)
Thats a sign of a hard worker. No time to eat during the day so eats plenty at night probably, which i can attest does give you a bit of a gut!
Super!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome!!!
Awesome
SOOoooooOooOO Satisfyingg
is the music really loud for anyone else?
Very cool
8:25 - I loled
Nail a block on end of log jack it up pushing it took to long What kind of wood?. Cool video
Nice one
I've been waiting for this. 😃
Can't wait to see the rest of the project! Wish I could work behind you on all my jobs. I get stuck in McMansions with shitty carpenters, who look me right in the face and say "Painter will fix it".
Plannin to collab with Tom on a shirt design?!
Bet you'd pump out some killer sh*t!
That might be faster with a big ass lathe, but a chainsaw has a more manly sound and feel. Besides, the center is rotten, could be difficult to mount (other than the sheer mass of it that is) besides, not a lot of lathes out there that could handle a "log" that size. KEWLNESS factor 10.
enjoyed it
Sent you a t-shirt entry + a custom clock with the design - maybe offer in your shop? :-) I'm sure you're getting some great submissions. I'll keep my eyes & toes crossed! (gotta leave the fingers for crackin' cold ones!) he he he
