Framing and cutting timber are somewhat similar.
You gotta know going into it that,
1. It's a and e time.
2. That your going to get touched up and bleed a little, its upto each guy to control what degree.
3. Very few get away unscathed.

Same thing with tractors. Last time I pinched my hand getting an attachment on the pto shaft I didn't realize I was hurt (more than a boo-boo) until the blood started bubbling out of my glove and up my arm. Took several doses of superglue to make that quit.
Roberte are you the builder? Usually those guys are smooth talkin pretty boys (my wife is expensive, so I have experience with them).

That's BIG! How tall do poplar that size average?

I have tall set of sticks to fall 2moro. I have to fall the pine out from the oak first.

poplar average 80-90 feet at 10" top, no matter how fat. that's around here any way. that's right, cut the pine out first so ya don't break it with the oak.

I was about to reenact that on a smaller tree whilst using a pruning saw to prep it for the misery whip.
But I went to the other side instead. I think my tummy would have hurt. My hardhat would stay on because my hair was sweaty.

This isn't me cuz I was taking pictures of the boys.

Tell the guy on the near side of the log that if he's gonna' ride the saw...pick up his feet. :msp_laugh:

[redprospector]

Woop's, I just noticed that the guy on the other side was only using one hand too. If they both pick up their feet, the saw will probably stop. :msp_laugh:

I guess schoolmarms aretricky.

I could totally do that... If we replaced the larger log with a Sausage link, the smaller log with scrambled eggs, the saw with a knife, and the mountainside with a booth at Denny's, I'd be all over it:jawdrop:

Ummmm, we were told to use one arm. It makes it easier to keep the saw straight. We're not racing. The poor guy in the orange shirt didn't throw in a cooler long sleeve shirt. Later on, they decided that getting sucked dry by mosquitoes and scratched up was preferable to heat exhaustion so he was able to wear his t shirt.
