It's not every day that we deserve such :D.

Nice! Great perspective.

Brilliant. Love the angled back cut.

There is so much more wrong there than could be explained by a simple bad read of the lean. The face is wrong for the anchors on the machines and the pull which broke one of the anchor ropes is in near opposition to the faced lay. The cutting procedure for the "back cut" is nonsensical to the...

That makes absolutely no sense at all. Can that be a real situation?? On what planet????

If it's leaning heavy, just Coos Bay the buggah. It'll only go to the head lean, but nothing you can do with those crap hinging trees will change that. I might go that route even with mild leaners, if falling to the head lean is a satisfactory lay. It is a straightforward and quick method...

I stand in awe. Also exhausted. What a tiresome process.

A pic from an old thread... https://www.masterblasterhome.com/threads/a-day-in-the-life.13918/page-2#post-415507

Those are all scary. That last one...what the eff is that guy thinking, just standing there???

That was pretty impressive.

I'm trying to imagine a scenario like that, Cory. Coming up short. But you may be right.

What a mess. I'm sorry, but who among us would have cut that tree without moving those vehicles?

Not so much in my world. Murphyesque, even ;). That way might just get you killed. But to each his own. There are some mighty talented cutters out there that could run circles around me.

Well said, Cory. Just so. Compromised wood fiber, or more brittle species...need not even try.

I have to admit to a bit of reserve on many of these...well, in the past I have labeled them "gimmick" cuts. Many of them strike me rather like some of the more complicated climbing system "improvements" I have seen in vids and pics over these last several years as the mechanical and hybrid...

Like the 084. It's not bad once you have it settled into some big wood...but moving it from the shed to the truck and back again is onerous, especially with one of our stupid long west coast bar/chain combos mounted. 5 or 6 feet of bar and chain comes fairly close to the weight of the...

At the very basic level, a shallow face set at something more than 1/3rd of the diameter will leave the stem with less push back and thus less generated recoil movement to the standing stem. That's because the hinge is forced to break by the closure of the face earlier in the fall than with a...

I am of the opinion that there is enough second and third growth forest in production today in my part of the world, that we do not need to be cutting old growth to meet our needs for lumber and other wood fiber. Both private, and state and federal government owned. In fact, there is a huge...

After a bit, I'm pretty sure David will come to his senses and quit trying to make a tree that is never going to hinge, hinge. :D In the meantime, it's sorta fun to watch, in a train wreck kind of way :P.

A whole lotta nuthin' that works :D.
