Interesting seeing the slow mo & how far the cut end flys from the stem.

 

Nicely slowed down by who ever was on the lowering device too.

Big top Daniel, smoothly rigged.

Looks like there was room to flop it out, but I'm assuming this wasn't the case?

Looks like their is a paving slab path in the drop zone at the beginning of the vid. Or he just did it for sh*%s & giggles maybe:thumbup1:

I don't really see the point mr Murphy?

 

There's no health and safety issues, no controversial cuts, not even the use of machines in a way the English would not approve of????

Daniel.....far too much messing about with the gob for a someone with your experience, it isn't going in an art gallery.....I like the way you brush and blow off the sawdust to inspect every detail of the cut

That's a good observation.. Video is great for showing such things... makes me wonder if that large sweeping forward movement creates more or less force on the rigging system and tree... Seems like the gradual arc would smooth out the force, thus making for less shock load... I love to think about this stuff.

Hopefully this pic uploaded.. You can see the logs set up between the walkway and the man in white hard hat.. the stick was dropped there, went about half way across the street... there were some shrubs and the drive that prevented the top from being bombed though
