Cant get it to stay on the hinge?

[APC]

What's the order of cuts on that? gob cut then?.... 2 verticals then felling cut?

I've not seen this cut before either so my curiosity has been nudged. Can you explain the whys whatfors etc David? or anyone else that uses this cut for that matter. Is it just a case of stopping the log rolling?

Always good to try something different i guess...Where's daido?

If you start dicking around with fancy pants cuts like that in the woods David, I'm giving you the sack!

yea first the gob, then 2 verticals and then join the 2 verticals at the bottom with a horizontal bore cut (i also found taking an extra bit off the bottom helps), then you have to do 2 back cuts either side of the "fin" as i call it.

Basically just for getting the bench to sit higher when bench felling and the fin just stops the tree coming off the stump.

Blame Harry it was him that put it in my head and got me curious to try it. He tells too many stories

No way i am doing that when on production anyway or i would lose a big chunk of wood and some extra minutes doing it. You dont pay enough for me to waste time

looks handy if you don't want a stick to roll down the hill into a house.

 

More you know the better i suppose. thats how you get better..by trying new things.

This is like a tongue and groove cut, but on that cut you dont cut the vertical, the wedge will push and slide the trunk up. Your cut seems a bit low to me. job to explain, but a tongue and groove isnt that much more cutting and can stop side-leaners going sideways, by letting the tree stay on the hinge longer without the hinge snapping. I had some photos of my tongue and groove cuts from my woodland work a couple of years ago
