At the stump calls for a lot of concentration when you get to that point close to where the tree starts to fall. Observing that, getting yourself out of there when it does start to go over or cutting longer in cases where you need to continue further, looking up, it is a lot of things to pay...

A few thousand mistakes.... you have to figure that a couple might have had very undesirable consequences. Got to have some luck in this trade as well. Lucky charm always in my right or left pocket, something I picked up at a famous old Buddhist temple. It would never go in the wash.

I think Sean has been cloned. Two of the same posts at another thread as well. :lol:

It isn't so bad, Al, certain times of the year, like from now on to early spring in these parts. Just don't go touching the end grain, and add a bit more time to saw clean up. I know what you mean though, I don't much care for the sticky when it is pumping.

Come to think if it, a guy got killed up in these parts dropping a large Oak. I think it was two winters ago. The story I got is that he was working in snow and the tree went the wrong way. Maybe if he had been a proper tree guy and not a carpenter filing in during his slack period, it...

I'm particularly good at getting trees hung up. maybe working in a hardwood forest would teach me better. It sure doesn't take much to hold up a tree when it nestles against a conifer limb. I didn't think this one from yesterday would get stuck, looks like it would crash through, right...

There are crowded soft wood forests as well. :|: You could say, "Talk to the great spirit". You do believe in the great spirit, I mean the same one that brought you back in touch with your Swiss lady friend. It wouldn't seem so paradoxical like an atheist referring to God.. On the other...

I would say no, Sean, better that way for you because no bounce back, which I think is harder on the tendon. With a loose wrist, vibrations travel up your arm. I believe it the best way to drive things, certainly makes a difference when setting tight tenons into mortices, wedges as well. No...

Do they really do that much more than keeping a tight wrist when you make contact with a regular sledge or axe?

it isn't just the tool length, you have to know how to ht things. Surprising how many guys have been whacking something for years and still bounce the head of the hammer or whatever they are using. Why someone came up with the bright idea for a dead blow. The same applies to constructing...

Most people don't know how to pound things. Instead of making it a dead blow type effect from keeping bounce to a minimum, they just swing away releasing the tension at the strike. It makes a big difference.
