I ASSume you would leave the hinge a little bit thicker when scarfing out the heart so the two hinges have the strength of a full width hinge?
More so want to slap the idiot behind the camera. Same level of idiocy as handing an inexperienced shooter a S&W 500 so you can laugh when they get busted in the forehead. Stupid people breed every day gentlemen.
I think that’s a bit optimistic Jeff. Lol! Judging by the slopped back cut and the mighty John Deere lawn tractor in the background I highly doubt “rigging” is in that idiots bag of tricks.
WTF for sure! Did not realize that was a video until this post. WTF?!
Coos bay is the triangle cut ,please excuse the fiber pull ,i was playing to see if it would chair on me
How long you been tipping trees?
I just do it when i have to ,i know a lot of logger guys ,my step dad had a logging company too so i learned a lot from these guys ,not sure how long ,never paid attention .Listen to the old guys when they talk and soak it in ,they have forgot more than we will ever know ,one trick i use an older guy told me was if tree on uneven ground and lean looks questionable ,hold your axe like a plumb bob out in front of you ,it works good and can keep a tree from going over backwards on you .Another trick i learned from my step dad ,if dragging a log up a hill and it jambs into a stump ,wrap your choker around the log a few times ,next pull it will roll the log and go around the stump so you can keep going .He saw me fighting a cedar log once ,showed me that simple trick and now i use it a lot .
Thought this black oak was gonna be a nice one so I bored out the face. Ended up being overmature. Oh well. Lol
I have zero experience dropping a hollow tree. Good job getting it on the ground Mason.
Was there in October. Really nice area.
