Another ugly stump

[SkwerI]

Chip, the only cut made was the back cut. I'd guess it was a fairly heavy leaner and the cutter simply made one cut from the back.

 

[sotc]

That was my assumption also

 

[squisher]

Yah, that's what it looks like to me too.

 

[Blinky]

Oh duh, I totally missed the boat on that one... it was leaning the other way.


...never mind.

 

[Strikermike]

Maybe he was just to skeered to pick up a saw again.

Maybe he was just to skeered to pick up a saw again.

you mean soiled jeans??? maybe hes leaving it to make a chair out of!!!!

 

[rumination]

It only took one time for me. Hell, I nearly kilt myself!

Same here. That had to have been quite the surprise for the sawyer...

 

[squisher]

No sawyer was cutting on that tree.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Ha, no caca! ;>)

That was the longest "back" to a barberchair I've ever seen.

[MasterBlaster]

I thought so, too - and so narrow!

I have seen acouple like that before. But at least they had face cuts in them.
Ash is just wonderful for that.

The first incident of barberchair in my experience, I didn't know what it was...that there was a name for it. I just suddenly realized that tree work was more dangerous than I had previously thought, and the cautionary about trees with lean registered. I thought it was unsightly to leave the mess, and quickly cut it off, after somehow getting the saw unstuck. It wasn't a particularly large tree, but revealing dangerous enough then when I drive through the area, it still comes to mind.

This was painful to watch and I did not know where to put it.... No gore... just ... ohhhhhhhh man... needs some schoolin

Gee, that was scary. Ancient saying, "Beware of false teachers".

 

[Jed]

Oh k, as I type this the guy is STILL on the undercut... Don't think I'm gonna be able to make it till the tree goes over (in some direction). Man, a beaver would be faster. Nope... he's still on the undercut... can't do it. Sorry Stephen.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Told you it was painful to watch

 

[Jed]

Yeah, that's what we fallers call "rock-hard Doug Fir."

 

[stig]

Nice how he managed to make a hybrid of a traditional, Humboldt and gap facecut.
Must be concerned with keeping his hingewood intact as long as possible into the fall.
I bet the slanted back cut helps a lot with that too.
Impressive!

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Technically called the Safety Slant, I believe

 

[flushcut]

Nothing beats watching a jackass in flip flops with a chainsaw.

 

[stig]

" Safety slant".
That is a good one.
Can I use it?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Love it!

 

[Raj]

How did you find my youtube?!?!?

 

[woodworkingboy]

I guess nobody noticed, the kid that guy was teaching was Nice Guy Dave, still in his teens.
