Got My Chainsaw Course Next Week...

When I did mine I liked the cushion cut or pie cut was it called or maybe step cut . Any way for slight back leaners with a side hold so you can get your felling bar in before you complete the stepped back cut . Yea liked that one when I first saw it .

Dog tooth cut

It was certainly an interesting trip in to the training centre this morning... We had snow last night which then froze with more snow falling on top. As I was travelling along the road I hit a patch of ice before travelling sideways towards the hedge/wall... The top left tracks were my front wheels and the bottom left tracks, my rear wheels :eek:

Oh yeah... I also felled some larch and used Silky's favourite cut for the first time today, the dogs tooth

Hi Stubby. Yep it's the step cut for back leaners , go in from the back cut 2/3 through then pop in your felling bar and take out the remainder by cutting in at an angle

I'm a sod for taking pictures and videos... I filmed myself taking a couple of trees down today. That way I can check my technique and also, if something goes wrong I'm able to view the footage to see what I did.
