Well done, split level cut? I know what it is but have never used it.

 

Ditto.

 

The only time i ever did one was on my assesment.

Funny, the only time I have seen it done or heard about it being done, the trees always gone the wrong way.

the cut is used for slight lean backs and for them school boy errors of forgetting your wedges. tbh never used the cut in 6 year since doing the course. ow and you use a breaking bar for lever.

Well done! I'm busy trying to get the practice in before retaking it myself. It was a complete waste of time and money to take the assessment straight after doing the course, and I don't know why they do it that way.

 

 

Hi there I know what you mean its CS30/31 combined a very short course to to gain the level expected on the test you have in effect 5 days to lean master and refine all the maintance and felling cuts . I did my first course combined but did not book the 30 test till a couple of monts later giving me time to really learn and pratice the maintance side and lean all the questions .

 

After taking the CS30 test I then concentrated on the felling side and did as much felling as I could in the monts after then I just did a second course just for the 31 part and the 31 test stright after .

 

The second course really helped me refine the basic skills I leaned in the fist course after I had worked been practising on the felling side . Had I of taken my tests stright after my first course I would of never made it but I am not a fast learner.

Well done east water

 

Did you end up with a new saw?? 361 got mentioned??

[felixthelogchopper]

I think I have got myself a placement 3 days a week to fit around uni, which will hopefully let me practise enough. The team I worked with on Friday were great, perfectly cool with the fact that I want to learn as I work. So basically, watch this space
