Thanks for watching guys!

Nice work! How come you used two ropes for some pieces?

Probably for the same reason we did here...to control the swing.

I liked how you used the two gin poles to control the chunks...good video of your work.

 

[Husabud]

Nice to see a sharp chain! Why such small pieces? I only had time for some of the first but I will be back to see the rest.

 

[pantheraba]

I wondered the same on some of those first cuts...why not just dump the whole limb?

 

[MasterBlaster]

That had me stimied, too.

 

[rumination]

Maybe he was just getting warmed up.

 

[MasterBlaster]

By the time I'm in the top of a pine like that, I'm plenty warmed up!

Ha!

I just watched part of the first video, I'm sure glad I'm not your groundie!

Got that, I just saw some other pieces rigged to only one gin pole, guess I didn't realize that from where he was cutting they could hit stuff on the deck.

Thanks Gary, it was nice having both of them to use. Hey thats some epic vid you posted with that tree on the roof, some cool video in your collection , I was browsing through.

Good question, I don't always chop a tree into bits while in the air, but in this case it turned out nice. I guess it's a combination of a lot things, now that I think of it... client had asked for us to save every little bit of firewood we could; also wanted to save the groundsman from starting up a saw knowing the other groundsman was busy in the front. He could just sort through firewood and brush without much trouble. Also I guess partly because my crew was on the clock that day, I sometimes will work differently when I'm on the clock rather than paid by the job.

I just watched part of the first video, I'm sure glad I'm not your groundie!

Why? Were some of those pieces pretty dangerous?

 

[MasterBlaster]

No, cutting them so small makes it a PITA to clean up.

Everything was going to get burned in the back yard, not dragged to the front and chipped. Were you able to watch all of the video yet?

 

[MasterBlaster]

No, only about half. Still, the stuff had to be moved to a burn pile, eh?

No biggie.

 

[Bixler]

That's pretty good, at least I got you for about half of it

The stuff had to get moved to a burn pile by the HO, we just moved it out of our way, down the hill maybe 10 feet, the firewood tossed up hill a little bit.
