the 'todays job' thread

[Pinkfoot]

 

As a novice and with no training , I find it a little scary doing trees like this.

It's not my proper job , I was given this tree by the Gardner for firewood.

I just take my time and think it through.

Makes me appreciate the skills /knowledge you people have.

I've never worked on a Palm, but that looked like a horrible job.

They certainly are skyhuck. i personally hate climbing phoenix palm's. The frons have long sharp spikes on them and ive been stabbed twice in the hand and the posion from them makes you're hand go numb for a couple of days. not only the frons of a pain but the timber aswell when sectioning down . You have to bore through the middle first then move the saw across to each side leaving 10% on both sides then pull the saw out and finish off both sides from the outside . you cant just do the standard step cut because of the timber is heavy and moist and will just clamp down on you're chainsaw. 

 

Also there is alot of mess from them and takes a long time to tidy up.

I've only ever done one of them. Challenging job.  Like cutting through steel.  Good work mate.  Bet you'll sleep well tonight.
