Reg for 2 minutes and 10 cents Id drill the handle on the club hammer and attach a land yard, size and weight of one of them dropping 80 ft brings chills to my spine, apart from that your on top form

What height were you up Reg?

 

Good shots

What's with the one handed chainsaw style Reg, (in the 1st video)? You've been in Canada too long mate!

Thanks a lot. Like I say, pretty typical scenarios, but a lot less time for filming these days.

 

David, no there's not a scratch on it, and it must be a year old now. Having said that, I only wear it very occasionally, and even less that I'd have it on throughout an entire job. More likely I'll keep it in the case and put it on for a particular shot, then put it away again.

 

Stevie I took the first top at about 80ft (right on Pat), the second at about 120.

 

Pat, that hammers a joke really. I had a nice little falling axe for such, but lost it somewhere. I wouldn't be worried so much about dropping it into the bush, but more the point of dropping it when I have a top just teetering on the brink. I need a new axe for sure.

 

Old mill, I know what you said was in good humour, no worries....but I'll just point out that the saw has west-coast dogs....when they go in, they stay in. When the bar-lenght exceeds the width of the wood there's almost zero chance of kickback. But as you can see I was clearly using the sights to hit the target down below. Its way more accurate to keep the saw cutting (embeded in the wood) until the sights line up, then stop. That's the reason. Its not advice, just the way it is. Thanks again

Ha ha. Well explained. Not that we would ever use a saw one handed here in 'hse.ngland'!!

"its not advice, just the way it is", classic explanation:cool:

Thanks for the reply. Yes it was in good humour because I know you know what you're doing.

I just remember the day when I did exactly the same thing. Using the sights on the saw and it slipped out the cut and almost cut my flip line and rope on it's way past!

New pants. Never again for me.
