Come on lets see you hinges. Weve had the Lunge Thread and the Stuntfell thread, now heres a thread for the best (or worst) hinges.

Post a picture and we can all give it marks out of ten. If it needs an explenation, then give it one as it may affect your score.

 

Even the bad ones can get rated, so dont feel shy about posting:lol: Mr Blair.

 

Ill go first.

 

70ft ash, in dense woodland, very straight pole, normal felling cut using only wind advantage, no wedges or felling bar.

easy one to begin with.

 

Please rate my hinge.

ok because someone deleted my last reply i rate it 6 out of 10 as gobs to big hinge is to big and it looks to high off the floor and my guess is as i was falling u pulled away to soon thats why ure hinge is to big plz do tell me im wrong

[Stephen Blair]

your wrong, his gob isn't too big, his hinge is spot on, he is in a woodland and it isn't commercial felling so height of fell isn't important, the reason there are some splinters is because he should of opened the gob a little coz of the raised fell but still un important for what he was doing. He didn't run away scared like you are suggesting:001_rolleyes:

How can it be too high off the floor? That was the job spec. The hinge was left big because I was trying to fell slowly so I had time to lean against it while I pulled my phone out of my pocket to film it going over so I could then upload the video on YouTube and show other part time tree workers my efforts. It was all calculated.

 

 

 

There was no pulling out too quick.

me 20inch bar was just struggling so just nipped the tiny buttress off.

Doesnt look anywhere near 40" across:sneaky2:

 

Dont get into a habit of cutting buttresses off as one day you may need the wider hinge:thumbup1:

 

You still got another couple to scrutinise?
