First time video, first time speedline

[Mark Bolam]

Nice vid. Cool speedline.

 

Wouldn't it have been quicker to bomb everything down on the LHS of the fence and handball it over?

 

Liked the speedline, mind. How did you tension it?

 

Good job you didn't just bomb it over the fence. I can see how high it is when I look again!

poker chips..!

 

seriosuly though, is that your first attempt at a speedline..??

Tensioned off chipper. Dont know if its right or wrong but it works a treat. where else do you want the branches to land?

Yeah why. is there a fundamental floor? whoops.

 

Also, Tim Craig. Just looked back at the vid. Mmmm... thumb not quite hovering over the switch. I get your point. I know I do it. I know even more now. Cheers.

I think Tim is referring too your right thumb, not being round the saw handle.

Huck, at 1.45 his left thumb is not wrapped around the handle when he's cutting, always catch myself doing this with the 200T - very bad habit. Ever used a 338xp? they have a little thumb rest for your right thumb, so much for 'always wrap your thumbs round the handle'. Anyway.....its a good vid.

Yes, another good point. Right thumb is throttling I think. Is that so bad though. Thinking about it, I bet I do it a fair bit.

Top of the chipper, lifting point. The height of the fence and the space we had was only just enough so that the branches would pass the fence so height for the anchor point was essential.

both hands....the left thumb should be around the handle, not over it...and thumb throttling with the right hand wasnt needed there...only advised for felling
