    So I just re-watched Graeme's vid after reading your post, Corey, and the main thing that emerges is: what an absolute, horrible, and disgusting little turd I am for ever having the audacity (My dear Mr. McMahon, Sir, Your Honor... I had absolutely NO IDEA that you were currently quite present...

    That would be nice. On this little Aspen I made my face too low to the ground to be able to do that. Yeah, I bore half way in too. Seems like a good rule o thumb, but then I always rip (trying to stay consistent with the wood-grain as opposed to a vertical conception of "plumb") darn near to...

    All any of us can ever do sir. Hang in there. Sean! Kyle! Thanks a million, you guys. Marc: Yup. Yer a genious. In our neck of the woods we call what you referred to as a "half gap," a Sizwill, and it works a charm. This will be beating a dead horse to Burnham, Beranek, Willie Ging...

    short bar technique

    I know what it is because: 1) I read about it in Jerry's book, and 2) I STILL routinely commit that error out on the resi-jobs on the big, fat Red Cedars. A gap takes a bit longer, but is always better except on the compression side of a side-leaner. (renders the hinge more vulnurable to...

    Daniel: Thank you so much for taking the time to make that vid. I'm going to suggest that it takes absolutley no more time to make the horizontal cut first and then the Humboldt second. I am purely a tree-service guy. I have absolutely zero experience falling commercial timber in the woods...
