Horse Chestnut Crane job

[Marc]

As title says, this tree had an included wire brace wrapped around the sub-stems making things awkard, it was one of those jobs where methodical lifts where the order of the day and not balls out big bits.

 

My battery died so did not get any video of Marcus finishing off the last big timber maybe that or maybe I just did not want to get his Spiderjackery on video.

What was that last bit about? Was that the old bracing cable? And a close shave in the middle. Good job mind

Yes it was, I snapped the hacksaw blade, and the bolt cutters we had were useless so I decided to slice that section out even though it was still included in the next stem, as the wire went tight it was ripped out and swung in an arc:blushing:

 

The close shave in the middle was not that close, my position was sound, just my chaining was not, and I knew it to, I felt that there was a chance it would flip so I did a gob type cut and was going to get the driver to lower it slightly into the cradle but my gob step cut released faster than I anticipated.

Great job - I think you should be commended for including the little mishaps in the finished vid, it's stuff like that that helps us all learn. You could have made the whole thing look perfect and we'd have known no different. Superb!

The crane operator seemed to know what he was doing too.

Good job marc. I've never seen that vertical step cut used on a crane job before, does that help reduce the saw getting stuck? Also I'm interested to the hear why you use chains on the smaller sections? Do you find it harder balance horizontal sections with chains? Where was the 2nd climber, were you both in the tree?
