10 out of 10 for getting down were you wanted it and on the hurry up . 12 out of 10 for bravery . I hate mush !

 

Cheers :-) messed the hinge up cos forgot about resetting the gob! Needed a slight change of direction away from the nursing home. Tis a bit disconcerting when you bore in & no saw dust flys out! :-)

Oh yea ! every reason to go high to find some decent ish wood . When it looks dodgey a few " test " bore cuts working up till you are happy is fair enough . All good and no probs so well done bud .

Go on then. What do I get for this?

7/10? Face cut looks a bit deep. Did you make a high back-cut to get the jack in place?

Gets a +2 for being smart enough to cut a deeper hinge on a back leaner- easier to get the tree to the tipping point 😎

So long as I'm getting above 5 I'm happy enough!!

 

Yes, back leaning and back weighted. Felled straight in to aid snedding. Round about two feet diameter on the hinge (just over), don't think the back cut is that high?

 

Not sure why some pictures are the wrong way round.

There's nothing wrong with it from a felling point of view, but without knowing the situation and looking at it from a textbook standard (which is about all anyone can do based on a pic) I thought the back cut looked a fair bit higher than the base of the face cut. A fault of mine TBH, was told never under but not much more than 1-2" above.

 

It it was my hinge I'd be happy with it

doing edge trees that the harvester cant do. I try to fell the trees parallel with the road as opposed to felling them back in the wood against their natural lean. its a lot quicker and easier I find and the brash doesnt cover the cut timber that the harvester cut previously. but you probably know this already. well done.
