The Blooper Thread

[Chris Sheppard]

any bloopers guys.. i was hoping this thread would kick off.. or do you all have to much pride

 

Thankfully no one's got any photos, but I think I managed the biggest barbers chair I'd ever seen earlier in the year. Reckon it must have gone 30ft or so up .

 

It was a skanky pop with a back lean and swept butt of around 90/100ft. We were winching it against the lean too and it really didn't like it. Had 5 others to do the same, next one went better but we resorted to ratchet straps.

 

On the same job managed to strip a rare youngish Chestnut back to a pole with the end of one of the branches off one of the Pop on it's way down right in front of the landowner We knew it was going to be tight but......

 

To be fair, it was a pig of a drop zone (full of young trees) and he was given the choice of one day crash bash stunt felling and accept a bit of risk or best part of a week to dismantle/lower etc.

 

Did redeem myself with the other 4 but it really rattled me for a while.

The weirdest tree i've done. Had a big forward lean on it cut the face in and bored in to cut back to the dogs tooth. Sat on the saw before getting to the back. The guy i was with decided it was no time to dogs tooth and did a

straight fell. And barbers chair was the result

Tree still had a better hold behind the stump than I thought and the spades were not in deep when they just folded under themself

Ouch. Little bit of heat will bend them back, bit of plating over it be as good as new.

Lots of heat big bars a press then sod it cut them off and start again but make them a little shorter this time, so far still pointing the right way....
