little clip of a hinge doing it's thing....i find this fascinating to watch and rewatch.

hehe..my pops is doing the warning and that's my girlfriend that yelps as it goes over.
 
Great clip Gord...I did watch it many times...

I love the acsent of your dad!
First time i saw it i thought it was steel cables falling down,hence the scream..By the fifth time i see it was thin branches...And your girlfreind overreacting...

I notice the wedges are to one side and forward of the backcut?
Is that somthing you do for pines?
I was allways taught to put "first" wedges inline with where you want it to go. If the second wedge in the clip was hit in more, would that send the tree to the left? Just a thought.

If mine dident go with a first wedge, that is inline with gunning sights, i double it up with another on top of it..
I have guesstimated that i can move the top of a tree a metre, (3 feet) with my long alloys, another one on top of that, its gone...


I know you get good lift from wedging in the side, i generally only do it for direction..If after a wedge is put in line with the gunning sights, if i want it to go a little to one side, I might use it then, I prefer the tapered hinge cut for "twisting" a tree...Derek..

Ps SNAX at work, can't go past "up and go" or "get breakfast" liquid "breakfast" type drinks..(but just as a snack of course)..
A big meal through the day make me want to have a nap, and i dont take my hammock..
 
that was a good shot only had a drive way to land on, house just to side,if you look at other shots you can see how close it was.best thing with this guy he wouldnt have a clue how good he is.i asked him how his legs were after being in the tree nearly all day "im fine":cool:
 
Here's a nice monday morning TD. Nothing fancy, three hours with the 17 ton. It's a lot frigging bigger than it looks. But, my saw was sharp.
 
heya Butch.
Nice work as allways, do they want you leave it like that, or is another "challange" for your stump grinder guy? (lol)

The guy who did these three in the front yard got AU$65.00 per stump, as i had them off at ground level, he was there under an hour!... I wish he could find me work for two hundred an hour..
 
Almost time for the pizza buffet!!!
