    hey treetop, you look like a tree cutter, so you are half way there, if you like cutting trees and dont mind the cold/wet and hardwork then you will get on fine. there is a lot of doom and gloom in all industries just now, its no different here. dont chuck your day job just yet, but try and get some experience. there are loads of yorkshire guys on here mate, so its a headstart for you. good luck

    dont put a step in your back cut, and even go lower than the hinge, keep an open gub, with a high face. once it starts going keep it going, a bit like felling young sycamore with the sap up. works for me.
