Rate My Hinge.

First one for a while, bar was to small but had the lean.. Being a bit lazy on a Saturday morning 😬

[Steve Bullman]

can't work out whats going on there?

[Arran Turner]

Bar wasn't long enough, so instead of doing the backcut from both sides i just reduced one side of the hinge. The tree was leaning where it needed to go so losing a little bit of hinge wasn't a worry

Walnut felled was a disappointed not a lot of brown considering it was 2ft across.

Two pine fells from today

[Ferguson system]

Poppuls Tremula that had fences on two sides, slope on the third side with the mainroad at the bottom, and a bridge with the walkway on the 4th. The tree had a slight side lean out towards the bridge and ofcourse the climbing kit was left at home.

 

The solution:

[Mark Bolam]

65' ash stem with a side lean, assisted with a 12 stone pull.

[Stubby]

Yea its okish but not nearly funny enough for you bud

I guess cutting at chest height saved cutting toes off👀

[Mark Bolam]

That was nearly head height for me Pete, I reckon some of them were nudging 3'!

There's at least three old fences in those stools, and I wasn't going to argue with a sensible customer spec.

I took the toes off lower down, like.

Good habits die hard.😀
