Smooth job - good to watch:thumbup1:

Or bigshot & no metal lethal projectile - just a sensible priced throwbag

Note - not recommended on a rotten stump - it's not funny watching the tree go sideways and bending your 30in bar through 90deg

fort Bragg aint that far away

The cuts Peter noted will work on heavy leaners very well

You can still climb upwards whilst crapping your pants

If in doubt (& the tree allows) climb higher & cut smaller

I would get some professional & impartial advice. Then, when you have a range of options decide, because 50% for nothing is alot, however she is due her fair share

Looks well constructed. Good job

If you were to contact PeteB I'm sure he could help you locate one

That makes sense now. It is often hard to ask question after question without appearing to be chasing an agenda. Your thoughts, queries etc on subjects (that are very grey to say the least) helps us all understand a little more & it would be a shame if those, like ourselves did not ask questions & challenge things Pete

Reading your prior posts (including those from other threads), you really do appear to have a vendetta against the zig-zag & now it's new variants, along with a major fixation with certification. Without innovation there can be no development...................

Nice job Reg. I'm really enjoying the more relaxed & real outlook of your footage.

That is some really tidy metal work.

A comparison; Over a 5 year period a class 1 driver has to have a minimum of 37hours tuition. The BS is getting universal Who though is this aimed at? Those who work in the woods week in, week out ? or those who are deemed occasional users. The ones that pick up a saw every year or so & retain little of the knowledge of running & maintaining a saw. The latter I think

The larger one will be for the pulley. As you will learn, there is approx twice the force at the rigging point than the bollard.

Someone importing K&H and Hardheads would be nice. I only have a couple of the hardheads left
-
K&H wedges?

A day with a good instructor is never wasted IMO. No fixed agenda - just see where the day leads you. Do you really need 2/3/4 days?

Ran a PNW 2101 - alot of saw - but built for felling alot of tree.
