The last bad hinge i cut ,ended in me doing a load of roofing clothes line erecting and dont get me started on velux windows,now that was a bad hinge.

This Beech was weighted to one side, so I finished my hing at that side, then cut the other side until it went

Here's one for Skyhuck.

 

Big roadside ash, rotten and split right up the trunk.

 

Climbed up and took off some heavy side limbs to move the weight round so it was opposite the split and to save the young trees at that side.

 

Nice deep gob across the widest part of the stem and bored out to discover where the sound wood was.

 

Back cut round either side to leave even holding wood at either side of the split and then release both sides at once with a dog tooth.

 

Right on the money, into the available space.

spot on dave, exactly how i'd have done it, although if anything id have come lower and used those 2 butress roots where the wood was sound, but i cant tell from the angle of the pic if that would have been feasable in this case

Good point, but it was cut high as there was a wire fence fastened to it, that was staying.
