Yeah, yeah, laugh all you want!
I've been getting lazy, getting in and out on the work I do do now. I've been ALAP'ing my fells of late. Make the bottom of the face flat, 60deg notch on the top, cut the root flair, scarf the sides even with the top of the flat on the face to align and cutting the back cut. Wedge it over and clean up the hinge for the ALAP then clean up the rest of the mess.
Basically my face looks like Carl's avatar, just lower, and I make the backcut even with the bottom of it. I've been using this because it's easier for me to work on my knee's, it does the ALAP in one cut, and out in the woods, it gets more wood from the tree and the mini can get over the stump easily.
Now conventional wisdom says this is wrong, have I just been getting lucky, or is this a fairly safe practice?
So far it's worked well, but I'd rather not get kilt because I was being a little lazy.
