    41 years more or less. So if I didn't have it down pat by now, there'd be something seriously wrong with me.

    Nope, I actually swung the saw around a bit at the end in order to not do that. Sean if you imagine looking at the stump from above and call the direction of intended fall 12 o'clock. Then the usual method, using a short bar would be to bore in and set your hinge at 3 o'clock, then cut back to...

    I was told to make a video of an easy way to trip a head leaner, so here goes. The Swedish chef remark at the end is for Rich, who figured it would be like watching a video made by him. It is an Austrian pine. Soft wood, front leaners will set down on your saw if you cut the hinge wood to...

    In getting a hardwood tree down in a narrow lay between two others, the best way is to get it to roll. Causes it to slip through the branches of the other trees instead of getting hung up and minimizes breakage in the other trees. Aiming a bit to one side of the lay and gutting the hinge helps...

    You should see the huge waste and biomass fuel heating plant they have built in Copenhagen. They made the "Roof" into a hill for skiing, snowboarding etc. Neat idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p8X_9kG9LA

    Cory, everything is forwarded out. Cut brush, branches, slash......everything. Usually they sort it in place, pile the brush to one side and forward the logs. Then later in the year they come for the brush, once it has dried out some. We have converted a bunch of coal fired powerplants to run...

    That was not me. I leave it in. I'm also 31 years older that the guy in the video and have a grey beard.

    Sorry for the late reply. Got back late last night , after 50 hours of big tree logging, so I was too beat to start the computer up. We would have had fun, Daniel, that is for sure. I've had a good time with all the treehousers that I have visited, We would have had a good time together, too...

    Pete, there'd be no reason to ask you to come over unless I needed another faller. You'd fit right in with the rest of the crew. Where is the fun in that, apart from the fact that it would be good to work with you. Sean, standard round file on a Chisel chain. No exciting secret tecniques...

    Jeez, Tommy, you self-aggrandizing fool. Not everything here is about you. Want to come to Denmark along with the other self aggrandizing fool? I'm sure we could find room for both of you. Lighten up a bit, please!:)

    I'd go even further than that. For me there is no danger in telling Daniel face to face that I consider him a total idiot. I know pretty well when somebody is a physical threat and Danny is not one. I'd gladly invite him and a video crew to come log with me me for a week or two and see how far...

    Which was my point, somewhat. The self aggrandising guru will get someone killed, eventually.

    You know, Daniel, every time you pull this one, I have a mental picture of Charlie Chaplin in " The great Dictator". A complete madman, strutting around and playing with the balloon globe, totally in love with his own delusions of personal grandeur, until one of us crude folks come along and...

    I just reviewed the video and for the life of me I can't see that plunge or bore cut. I can see myself doing a lot of needless whittling away getting my bar tip pinched as the tree goes down, But I've already said that the tree went before I anticipated. It really sucks when the trees haven't...

    That would be: " You are mighty mouthy". It is a bad sign for sure when foreigners have to point out your faults in writing English:lol: "Plunged in on the compression side", You need to get your prescription for glasses updated, I was whittling away on the low side when that tree decided to go...

    That is not nitpicking. I got on his case myself when I picked up his saw. He had a good excuse. Nearest new handle was at least an hours drive away. One problem with being stuck in a logging camp on the most remote southern island, there are no parts to be had. My new and much beloved ( I'll...

    Burnham, the moment I saw that handle dangling in the video, my first though was: " Burnham is going to give me hell for this" :lol: It is not due to a slack cord but to the stupid little piece of rubber that Stihl put into the handle to make saws easier to start with out recoil bothering the...
