Two handed saw aloft?

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Thats one of Reg's videos, ask him yourself.....but looks like massive timber, the 200 wouldnt have got through most of them chunks:thumbup1:

 

Good to see you H-K, been a while... :001_smile:

tbh thats what put me off using a strop but in general i reckon strops are better

and if concerns i reckon there are different ways to do things

i have heard of 2 cases where strop has seriously hurt lads but no concrete proof to back it up

sorry

 

Yeah, i regularly use a strop but there is the odd occasion when I might choose to strop the chainsaw to the tree and position myself in such a way as to be able to swing well away from potential battering rams.

If working close to main line with saw though there is no excuse IMO.

The majority of the time I use a wire core flipline as a positioner and backup, but sometimes you get a feeling ‘ I am safer without’....like with the left handed saw use, Ive been at it long enough to know when and when not to.....same jobs year after year. I didn’t say that

 

Re: The falling – flat or nearly, there was one tree which was dead already so no issues with root damage. That video is funny, I did that job for nothing.

Just to put a spanner in the works. Have you ever met anyone that wished they hadnt had a second strop holding them in "the firing line" as it where. say, when a large lump has reacted inother way than was forseen and they couldnt get out the way???

 

I believe there are times when you really dont want a second strop on (now and again) as long as you are in a secure postition whilst cutting and nowhere near you main line.

Some crane jobs for instance.

 

i have & wish i hadnot ,as i had to go & get him

Did you agree too do if free or did they not pay????????

 

I have done big trees cheap, because I want to win them, but never free:001_huh:

Dave I did it on the promise of more work around the golf course, that tree was regarded as somewhat of a priority upon realising the split.... but never heard from the source again thereafter.

 

I did the job over 2 consecutive Saturday mornings, the work was easy so it wasn't a huge sacrafice....and I did gain a new rope and harness for some photos and video taken from the job.

Oh well, not too bad and it did look like an enjoyable job.
