Willow fell

[RobRainford]

Heres the video, i kept the hinge nice and big to keep him slow, although i left a tad too much on the right hand side, and hence what happened!

 

watch and see!

open yer gob.. who shouted timber? not like the council lads who shout tim.. and go for a break:thumbup1:

[RobRainford]

the lad who filmed it shouted timber. it was a big gob on it too. didnt want too big as i didnt want to find rotten wood, but it was all sound, it was purely the hinge! I chuckle as i watch it, as i could see it hitting the deck, and it just didnt. ive nver had that happen!

have a look at []YouTube - SHREKSWEEBROTHER's Channel, i cant tell what they are saying but they try hard..

It woulda hit the deck if you had cut the ears off.

 

Well and cut a bit quicker too maybe:laugh1:

[RobRainford]

i was a cuttin as a fast as i coulda!

 

i put the ear in one side, i dont know why i decided not to do it on the other, i started marking out my back cut instead as it was ont he way round. ah well.

 

ed: ive seen those boys, what a bunch o looneys

leaning tree cut would have been my choice of cut for that, but tree went where u wanted it so alls good

i was toying with that idea tbh, but as there wasnt a huge amount of weight to increase the force on the lean, i chose a standard cut instead. Although im still a bit gutted it didnt make a big thud!
