Agreed, Kenny you have been my teacher and pried open a heavy door to allow a few rays of light through which has become a whole new world for me, full of beauty and wonder. I will always be grateful to you for the effort you made to show us a new perspective when this industry was so stuck in...

only asking cause I see that day coming for me on the horizon....

How's that feel???

when was your last rodeo?

C'mon Butch, Got anything to ad here? You made the move from climber to bucket op... did you change your game?

Ya , what was that about... Was that the one where you were trying to say that the outer fibers have more holding strength than the center fibers... or maybe that was woodworking boy... honestly I have a terrible memory for these things... in any case... you don't seem to have any intelligent...

Actually not just hard to reach... it was impossible to reach ... unless I was going to put the bucket and boom across the front of the hinge, which could only be done to start the back cut. Even then it would require a time consuming and unnecessary re-positioning of the bucket.... While...

This ius another short bar hinge, with a 25" bar.... that's a roof in the background... big ass cut at 30' and a good example of a cut that was hard to reach from both sides with the bucket

Not quite there Bermy.. Its the inverted shelf and the mirrored dutchman... the latter of which I posted a few pics on here some time ago .....

Most of the time that is what happens... you can get away with removing the end of the hinge on one side, , leaving it unbalanced, and it will still go to the lay... HOWEVER, every once in a while it doesn't.. I've seen them turn ... its very unpredictable... Had a big chestnut oak spar turn do...

Nipping the sides is generally done to prevent a string of twisting bark from ripping down the trunk under the notch and causing that side of the hinge to hold on, which can throw the fall far off the lay.... the mirrored dutchman looks kinda like that, but has a different application...

Basically... here it is.. It's called the mirrored dutchman (just named it this morning) Its a technique used for cutting with a short bar on trees where limited control is needed from the hinge... basically trees with little or no side lean/side-weight. Benefits... its quick and easy and...

If someone expresses an opposing view in a respectful way, just trying to hash out a subject... then I'll respond in kind.... but invariably there's some asshole that wants to get mouthy... In this case it's flushcut... I take an hour or more, when I could be sleeping, to provide a detailed...

That was an interesting cut..... I had taken most of the side-weight (limbs) off so it was a pretty straight stick, with just a little side weight.. The top of the tree was also gone, bombed out to fit the remainder in the DZ, and there may have been some backlean, but nothing too crazy...

You got it exactly....bypass cut.. very slight bypass, maybe one inch, and that's a good term for it , "inverted shelf"... It was the last cut before I needed to move the bucket truck to get the other side over the wires. I was hoping to match the cuts perfectly and let it drop under its own...

There it is right there... perfect example..... man says something that rubs you wrong and y'all all throw a little tantrum.. And to you Butch. it kinda pisses you off cause its kinda true.. otherwise you'd laugh it off.. I would say that TB is no better... and AS , at least the last time I was...

I AM happy to have an intelligent discussion.... nobody seems to want that or maybe they just can't! Too proud to ask about what they don't understand... If you want to know what's going on just ask... There is a reason for everything.... even if that reason is a mistake or a shortcut... and...

Check the mirror!
