kerf dutch, when the gun cut and the slope cuts don't line up, either intentionally or not.

Soft dutch is a kerf dutch with extra cuts into the slope side to "ease" the tree around

Dutch block is a piece of something stuck in the face, usually used to correct a bad gun cut.

Step dutch is similar to a dutch block only the step is left in the face cut, some folks call the two the same thing.

90% of my swinging is done with just a kerf dutch or varying the hold wood thickness.

yup, I generally jus leave holding on the side I want it ta go. and WEDGES

Okay so I was right in my thinking...soft dutchman and the block dutchman are the two I have been describing. Thanks Northman!

roberte or busted...hey one of you guys hollar out for RM.... I wonder what he would do to gain some speed in his drops of light topped pine?

 

[bustedup]

The step to me is (omg I ain't good at describing lol) ......a conventional face (the step/block will fall out in a true humbolt (or should I say I can't get it to stay put.) a dutch of whatever amount in the hinge ya want/need/etc......then a block placed in that side to act as a pivot as the hinge will break that side first .....I prolly made no sense at all lol

Have you tried turning the notch over and wedging it in a humbolt corner as a block? It will stay. Yep you made total sense.

The rifle deserved most of the credit. I bought it from an old gunsmith, he had replaced the barrel with one from L.E. Wilson, made it look original. He also supplied custom ammo, the 7.62X51 NATO guys had fits.

I bet they did. ya got any advice for two chains on them pine poles

Nope never tried that .....I ain't creative enough or more likely I have no imagination lol

 

[bustedup]

TC you could try putting a really deep face in if the sticks don't have a favour that will undermine the centre of balance of them and give them moving ......but it won't work on back leaners or heavy side leaners
