Rigging an oak stub

[mistahbenn]

Here was todays job... I couldnt make it anymore interesting without a crane or helicopter Its just treework. Thats what we all do right

 

(The stein doesnt come out too often and it shows with my excellent groundsman having maybe 1 too many wraps. We get the job done.)

Nice footage Ben, looks bitter though. Cold fingers I'll bet.

 

You could almost take a flask up in the bucket, no ?

 

Heavy wood, solid too by the looks. To loose one of those chunks, with the truck right under and house beside would've been, expensive!

 

After the second/third log, I think you should've come down and took control of the rigging line, show that fella how to chill out and stop hanging on to it.

 

In the absence of a climber, flip-lines and what-not, it would also make sense to snug your sling and block right up within an inch or two of the face-cut. Would put things a little more in your favour, at no extra effort....especially with the dude seemingly intent on shock-loading every log.

Why didn't you tie the block to your bucket? This would have saved resetting it every time.

 

Happy to help.

Don't quite follow Mark. Please please can you get some footage to demonstrate?
