It was going great until....

Uncle Dave's Farm. Four trees, two silver firs and two spruces. The first three came down grand, all the cuts right etc. The last and biggest one was not so good. For some reason I made the face cut far to big, and then botched the hinge. Tree still fell in the right place and we were 'safe' the whole time. Maybe others can benefit from this mistake. Could have been a whole lot worse......I learned that I can cut a little bit more wood, but I can't put the wood back.....

 

Before you all lambaste me, realise this happened in Ireland...Life works a bit differently here....

Good enough, tree gone and no one hurt.

 

Be worth investing in some hearing protection though, cheap as chips and definitely worth having around the saw,,,,,,,pardon?

Right on Treequip - I normally have my helmet system on all the time, even when doing things like pounding wedges - best sixty bucks I have ever spent.

 

I ditched it for the sake of the camera, taking a chance on a cracked skull, I know, but had earplugs in. I keep earplugs in my pockets at all times, loud pub bands, impromptue hammering etc, even throwing planks around.

 

Grandad went deaf from splitting logs with a lump hammer and cold chisel....Ain't gonna happen to me (touch wood)
