I agree , i think you would end up switching it off.

I'm not talking about the split level cut. The saw stays in the tree at all times with the medium cut. Split level cut your saw comes out and a wedge goes in. You then go back in and undercut your first cut , this is for slightly leaning back trees not medium trees.

Have to remember it is many years since alot of the people on here did these courses and its sometimes difficult to recall exactly whats involved..But i THINK this is the one where you plunge the saw in from the offside and go toward your gub creating the first half of your hinge. You then bring the saw backtoward the rear of the tree until there is sufficient wood left to start arcing the saw round toward the near side, thus creating the second half of the hinge. Hope this sort of reads ok.

Thanks Sean , I was waiting to get slaughtered there !

My first thought on this is that the title is over exaggerated. Did the selection committee travel the length and breadth of europe and short list this group ? The stories are no more than quite interesting but nothing really inspiring . This does not detract from the fact that they are bonny trees dont get me wrong .

Hi Al, My cousin has been on it for more than 20 years now and although he's not a tree surgeon he runs marathons and as far as i know the only problem he ever had was when he forgot to take it and suffered an aneurysm , that was way back in the early days and the lesson was learned .

I would definetely see your course out , it would be just like the thing that the last few months will be the best . Also you may one day like to work abroad and i've noticed a few of the international arborists saying NPTC's are not recognised but college/university diplomas are .

Why dont you post on ARBTALK so much any more ?
born2trot replied to eggsarascal's topic in The Lounge
I'm sort of new to the forum but one of things i have noticed is that for the amount of members very few seem to participate in any real capacity. It seems to be the same people that keep the chat going. Whether there is a fear factor of being shot down or making a mistake i dont know . Should there be a use it or lose it policy ? Genuine personal reasons obviously withstanding . -
Are you joking ? The title was brilliant
-
No way Al !! Your not bailing out are you !!

Havent a clue what your going on about but top marks for the title!!
