Title: HolmenTree 1995
Post by: HolmenTree on January 15, 2016, 04:00:22 pm
Thought I'd share this old video from back in 1995 when I was on national  TV.
With my redneck ways I video taped with my phone of the old VCR tape off my TV. Theres about 5 minutes of the tape missing as I spliced it when my VCR ate the tape years ago  :D
Never got to demo the Yamaha YZ bikesaw I built in 1983 on the show, as the film crew showed up early unannounced . Didn't have time to get wood and fresh fuel for it.

I watched the video and I did not know you carved also.   You are a multi faceted wood cutting person there Holman.   Thanks for showing.

Thanks guys , yes I always was a "Chainsaw only carver" and that's where I always drew the line.
Top carvers today are running 180 and 390 Stihl's and doing the major finishing work with a chisel or Dremil.
That not chainsaw carving in my opinion.  :D

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Wish they still made shows like. Thinking back on 1995 realized I was 10 when you made that show. LOL.

My life has changed so much since then. Most of it for the better. Some not so much.
