A variation, yes, but also employing a new method besides the break in the hinge running out earlier on one side. The tree rolling over as a result of sinking into progressive kerfs is a cool dynamic concept.

Curious if he came up with those methods, or someone taught him? Kind of hard to think that anything could be really new in timber falling technique, but it seems possible. Agree, Jerry's perspective would also be good.

Cool, will send a polite invite, I'm fairly good at that.

You mean invite him over? How, through the youtube posting?

I thought he went back to cutting on the face to deepen his outside top kerf (dutchman). I'm eager to attempt the technique, but I want to try and do the back cut from the back of the tree more, instead of hanging out down there in no man's land. If the saw did pinch his bar then it freed up...

On the back slip vid, it looks like his back cut is angled up pretty steep, and that he cuts up his hinge pretty fine before hitting the wedges to make it go over.. That's as far as I could get on that one.

I'm still not sold on that he put a dutchman on the lean side of the face, as was proposed here. It's hard to see, but watching the vid carefully doesn't seem to show the angle of the saw cutting beyond the apex of the hinge on the side he's on. Not doing so would help to keep the tree from...

Another nice vid. All his vids show a relatively low back cut, in keeping with the general theory about it, I believe. Willie, axe in the kerf noted in the back. That Husky sounds modded. :evil: Elm has notorious tough interlocking grain, very resistant to splitting, one reason why they...

Watching his vids makes me think that there are few impossible falling situations that can't be remedied with the most basic of equipment. Still, feet don't fail me now!

Cool, glad you explained it.

Really? It looked more like it was laying on the ground. He seemed to be staring at it a lot as he worked the cut around.

Wiley, his kerfs only bypass the corner on the far side it seems. Does that concur with what you're saying?

I think that calling it a "dutchman" is kind of confusing, because it seems like instead of undercutting on the lean side of the face, he does it on the opposite side in a couple passes, each one shallower than the one above done before. Maybe he's got a little undercut going on the lean side...

Cool, hope he drops by the treehouse. I like how he ducked under that spar coming down in the first vid Willie posted, that takes experience.

That's a real cool technique, using the weight of the tree to settle on the kerfs, along with the holding wood on the far side to swing it around. It's friggen brilliant! Thanks for posting it! Lots of in the woods clearance work coming up, I'll be wanting to try it for sure. I think caution...
