Great thread Im standing against the wall get ready to fire everyone

 

Felled a large ish alder with a small forward lean on it Doubtful it would of barberchaired but thought I would dog tooth it anyhow. Gob was spot on, into bore and there was another small alder sort of in my way I thought no it would be ok no time to knock it down. started boring small alder got in the way saw came out went back in again and cut to close to where my hinge should be.

 

Luckily I saw it move got right out of the way and the tree went to the right of the intended direction swang 90 degrees and barbour chaired.

 

Learnt my lesson good and proper No pics sorry

I'm sure I have a couple of mis haps on camera somewhere!!! Ha ha!! I'll have to see if I can dig em out!!

I always fell mine at a ‘comfortable height’, think it comes from being old and decrepit.

 

Im with john on that one, especialy as all the crud and metal work will be in the last three feet, fell at a metre and cut stump down last!

 

That way saw gets blunt AFTER the donkey work is done!

Just a few pics to prove everyone starts somewhere mate:thumbup1:

 

I'm a bit of a perfectionist, some would say fanatical, in pretty much everything I do. Its either perfect or its just plain wrong. But as I said, everyone starts somewhere, and i've done much worse cuts than your ones I was abusing yesterday.

 

I'm not slow to criticise when I see something wrong so thought it only right to put a few of mine up:thumbup1:
