how to match corners

[slowp]

I sent one down the hill and into the creek today. The fish are using it for poker night.

You'd save the taxpayers millions of dollars if you did that out here. No more helicoptering in fish logs, you could just launch them in. Way cheaper. Only no TV coverage. TV news likes to film helicopters doing things.

This thread is making me want some sour cream and onion chips. Yum!

Yep anything tossed into water sources we call "structure" around here. As in that old refridgerator will make some good structure for the fish to hang in. Or if we sink this old boat over here that'll hold them fish. Honestly though we do sink a lot of cribs around here. Legal of course, made of timbers and rocks. I've found both of the above listed when snorkeling though. I knew a guy once who would sink his beer cans. Just making some structure he said.

Always funny when the floods wash half a million dollars of "structure" out to the ocean the first fall after they put em in. Those hairy log trucks always look funny driven down the road.

Along with $30,000 worth of stainless brackets and through bolts. mindboggling.

good thread, Not much use of the humboldt in thinning/clearing around here (in fact often just a single kerf is used for the face cut) but I get time to practice stuff now and then. Surprising that the humboldt isn't as intuitive as a conventional, bit of work for me.

You guys are making me feel like less of a Gomer.

A work in progress to say the least.

Thanks for the information. I am Stihl learning.

Great thread.

It sorta comes natural after awhile with experience and hard to describe.
The best way to match corners is to have a true cutting B&C.
When you think about it, It's your horizontal cut of the wedge that is most important and must be accurate to the front of the hinge, even if you intend to cut off a corner.
In the angled cut up or down, humbolt or apple pie cut, it's not so critical if you have a stray kerf in the butt or the stump as there is no mechanics there.

I called it a stray cut as opposed to a dutchman, since the dangerous dutchman is usually in the horizonal cut.
Does this sound right to you guys, even to some degree?

yeah it sound right but i had the expiperience that a perfect match with the gun can throw it in tha spot damn near every time. But, when it cut the under part its ok to take a little extra care and a few seconds (on the small stuff) to match it with the gun then let it fly. This does get to be a pain in the butt as its best to keep those trees flyin after all they were made to fly right :chainsawguy:
