Rate My Hinge.

This video is called... "I love fat hinges"

Though I neglected to mention this in the video (which is not public), we did strap the trunkup above the cut to keep it from Barber chairing

This was one I did a few months back, thought it was worthy!

new cut, at least it sounds like a proper hinge

This elm died last year.  It is 30 inches in diameter.

I have felled no large elms and was a bit apprehensive about tackling this one especially since I only had a 16 inch bar

I cut out the gob and plunged from either side and cut back to leave a tab.   Nicked the tab and ran to as safer place as I could find behind a large sycamore .

the 70 foot tall tree just keeled over gently, exactly where it was supposed to

Now to make some floor boards with the Lucas Mill 

I left the stump high partly because I have a bad back and partly to judge the plunge cuts more accurately
