Today's Fell

[Paul Smith]

A dead Beech with a few targets! You can't see the shed or the play area though or my secret weapon!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My 10 ton bottle jack, great bit of kit.

[Stephen Blair]

That's been a big tree in a tight spot, don't envy the carrying out of all that wood

Good job:)

[Paul Smith]

Thanks! Still got to get it out but can only do weekends as its a private nursery that won't let me in during the week!

Is that Honey fungus and Giant polypore at the base?

[Ian Flatters]

Nice work, tight drop zone. Got to love a bottle jack. I need to get a thick plate added to mine as a few times its pushed into the wood.

[Matthew Storrs]

er where does a bottle jack come in handy? do you cut a recess in the back of the tree for it to sit in and push up once youve done the backcut?

[Matthew Storrs]

nice hinge by the way

I think I am going to add a plate to mine.

Thank you, had to get this one right a lot at stake!

Yeah, and a few growing out of the kerf where I last had my GRCS.

Very good job, but one thing? the breaker bar, what use would that be on a tree of that size?

Just to scale the photo and to help separate the large rings.
