I'm not stooping much tonight. Thatched the yard today. All 44,000 sq ft of it. Why do I do things like that? :bang:

Lucky you,
Last week I raked the yard, then we had heavy winds, filled my yard with leafs, and now We have been getting snow.
 
ears

Side cuts first. Interesting.

So you could get a barber chair just by putting the knock in first ?

Andy probably means putting ears AKA (side cuts) in the face cut. Ears are 2 slanted or vertical slits in the corner of the face. I put ears in big cherry, beech, walnut, and whatever else that looks like it needs them. Ears releive the fiber tension in the side of the notch making it, less prone to splitting, pulling fiber and barberchairing. Nice pics andy, big hemlock!:clap: :) :greenchainsaw:

I make a notch first, then side cut (ears).
Now I am a bit confused, I thought ears were Side cuts Horizontal in the corners of the face cut.
 
yup!

Yup, notch first then side cuts(ears). Ears can either be vertical(slanted) in the side of the facecut, or they can be horizontal, either one you prefer. They both work the same.;) :D :rock: :rockn: :laugh:

Yup, I know that guy, that's gypo. And yes that is the horizontal way of cutting ears. The way I'm talking about is, look at the face, now look at the corners on the right corner go like this / then on the left corner do the oppiosite(there is no key). :laugh: :D :rock: :ices_rofl:
 
Thats not me, thats Gypo Logger.

After seeing these pictures, I seen the light on cutting Elephant ears.
