I have mentioned this a couple of times before, I think. That vertical cut is called a " german cut" here, for unknown reasons. I use it on all pull trees, since it hardly takes any time to make, and the benefits are big. Also on sideleaners and anything where I doubt the hinge strength. In my...

I do the same thing. Sometimes I might ask you about something that I already know the reason for, just to get your take on it. We work, after all, on opposite sides of the planet, so we do a lot of things different from each other. Learning why you do something gives me a bigger palette of...
