WWboy asked about triupping a hanger in a thread some time ago. I used to just cut them from the top and then finish with the snap cut, but have liked using the plunge cut a lot better, since it was described to me by JP Sanborn back in 2004. Roger and I got into a pssing match about using the plunge cut.. Once you get used to it, you'll find a lot of uses for it..

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which an unskilled person makes poor decisions and reaches erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to realize their mistakes. The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. This leads to the situation in which less competent people rate their own ability higher than more competent people. It also explains why actual competence may weaken self-confidence: because competent individuals falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. "Thus, the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others.

The hypothesized phenomenon was tested in a series of experiments performed by Justin Kruger and David Dunning, then both of Cornell University. Kruger and Dunning noted earlier studies suggesting that ignorance of standards of performance is behind a great deal of incompetence. This pattern was seen in studies of skills as diverse as reading comprehension, operating a motor vehicle, and playing chess or tennis.
Kruger and Dunning proposed that, for a given skill, incompetent people will:
tend to overestimate their own level of skill;
fail to recognize genuine skill in others;
fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy;
recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they can be trained to substantially improve.
Dunning has since drawn an analogy ("the anosognosia of everyday life") to a condition in which a person who suffers a physical disability due to brain injury seems unaware of or denies the existence of the disability, even for dramatic impairments such as blindness or paralysis
 
Dogs tooth?

You risked the tree falling towards the saw. The saw was on the compression side of the stem. Not acceptable.

The pissing match was in your mind. I've been plunge cutting since you were in diapers.
 
Why at such an unergonomic height Danny boy? It would be much easier lower down wouldn't it? Also I get confused with your terminology. What do the following mean..
trippiong, triupping and side English?
