RIP Jed. A stark reminder

What a shame. Seems like a really nice guy. 

 

Is filling down at the angle he does a couple of times in the first video a popular technique? I dont think Ive seen that done before. Whats the benefits?

Absolute golden era , we used to bunk off school put on stupidly large trousers and adidas gazelles and get the train to the next town and try and imitate the WI guys 😆 

found this interesting interview mate .. wish I’d stayed on the tree house and discussed, I don’t think I ever put the two people together though.

I learned it in the states, it makes a noticable difference on softwood.

 Think he is " square " filing a square ground full chisel  chain . You attack it from the outside as opposed to from the inside as you do with a round ground full chisel chain .

RIP, so hard to keep the mentality that today could be the day, every day

So very sad. Accidents happen how every careful and good we are.

I will pray for him and all his friends and family. 
I didn’t know him but my son has worked on trees and he is also very talented and lovely. I can’t imagine loosing him.

Very cool tribute.
