Wee dismantle by a wee lad

Worst bit about that job was all the dead snapped of twigs on the deck after, must say was refreshing to work with someone who knows how to "let it run". Especially important to avoid shock loading on dead trees, cos I only had one pair of pants with me.

 

Lol! The dead twigs and sweeping up is James's department on Monday when we get back and do the milling:sneaky2:

 

Glad to know you enjoyed the day Darren, even if you did get a good shaking when Mike had a go on the capstan:lol:

Just a shame about the t-shirt I had on really, thought I might have looked a bit Buffer cos of all the weights Ive been lifting recently, and also surprised no-one has picked up on the lack of chin-strap. haha

I am not saying it was the correct thing to do though Dean:confused1:

 

We all have our own ways Pete, there's no right or wrong way and theres a multitude of different reasons for doing things different ways, I can see the advantage of keeping it off the deck for cutting up.

 

I prefer a brash mat for the simple reason there are no marks whatsoever and it acts as a shock absorber, the log bed is solid so the stem can kick or bounce about, which I am sure you already are aware:thumbup1:

 

Did the little twerp take any keeping in check or did he behave himself

The thing thats probably not that clear in the pics Dave, is it was a co-dominant stem, splitting at about 4 feet from the ground, hence the high felling cut of the final stem. You can just make out the second stem cut off in the pic of the stump.

 

Hope thats what you were getting at Dave.

 

I'd spotted that, I would have cut down the union and removed the other stem, then felled low.

 

I don't do any milling, but I was aways told by a timber merchant I used to climb for that the bottom bit was the best bit.

Cheers for all the comments, all are noted. I may be getting a little long in the tooth, but still willing to accept opinions of others:thumbup1:

 

As for the little twerp Dean, room for improvement, but he did well for a young 'un:001_tt2:

Hahaha, your so slow Darren, you need to stop spending so much time with your head inside that hair dryer.

 

Been waiting ages for your response
