Hung tree

[Dave D]

No I appreciate that guys. I know I sound pretty fippant but I have the upmost respect for my saw. I'm a teacher and we're doing a self build and this is a tree on a bit of the land we have. I've used a chainsaw on and off for the last 15 years and I'm under NO illusions as to what they can do to your leg or somewhere else. I think the tree is pretty dead so I'll have a look at it and see what I think. I have a couple of guys giving me quotes for taking down some trees so I'll have a chat with them about it. Just fancied the challenge as it's not a big tree but I know what you're all saying and the last thing you want is another amateur doing himself in 'cause he tried something that was beyond him.

 

Cheers

 

its not only the saw that can do you harm, there are many unexpected things that could go wrong here and whilst to the experienced cutter this looks to be a relatively straight forward and simple 5 minute job, i would strongly recommend that as a novice you do not attempt this.

No worries guys. Going down tomorrow to do some small stuff and wood splitting but won't touch this.

you could go on for ever saying the what ifs.

Step 1, read the thread on lighting a bonfire with wet wood.

step 2. light a fire at the base, just like 'fred' would do.
