Butch was right. "That's stupid."

'Twas only a joke- I woulldn't fire someone for a failure to understand felling physics so long as they weren't killing people or breaking things.

Be more subtle. Smile. Say "It seems like that might help control the tree until you start breaking down the input forces and angles and do the calculations. Then it turns out that it doesn't help and can actually create problems. I made a few of those cuts before I learned better." Make the...

Robert, Yeah, stump jumping little stuff doesnt warrant bending over.-Slash a backcut and twist the bar or give a little nudge with left hand or shoulder to get things headed in the right direction if needed.

Butch, I think you just made Mike's year.:P

Burnham- It is also like topping-Tree stuff done wrong shows up better than tree things done right. Thus Joe Nonothing notices the bad and emullates it. I can show you sections of Colorado forest where virtually every tree harvested was taken with an angled backcut. Those stumps stick up saying...

Besides the greater difficulty in having the finished back-cut line up properly with your face for the intended hinge the principle problem arises when using felling wedges...instead of all of the force from driving your little pocketable inclined planes being directed vertically to lift the...
