Hi,
This is my first post. This is my second year doing tree work on a part time basis. I have a lot to learn and have been reading the forums for a while. If there is anybody in the Hartford, CT area I would like to meet them.
My question is: When rigging a piece of wood off a different stem than you're working on and the piece dosen't directly hit the other stem, I've seen a crazy pendulum effect develop. A 500 lb piece isn't easily going to be controlled by a tag line and a ground worker hanging on to it. How do you guys control the swing?
Thanks,
Chris
