      If I will what? It is a phrase occasionally usd if making an anology, or simile, or odd comparison and then means "If you will allow me some stretch of language" or such. Lots of times it just becomes a substitute for "umm" or "you know" and other such lame thought process stalls.

    I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

    I have cut down trees for several years, and your details about felling is really good. There will always be exceptions because the trees now once the trees
    Many people who want to cut down trees should have just one day with you in the woods, then there would be many fewer accidents with logging.

    EXCELLENT! Thank you very much for the information. The angle that the tree falls as it intersects earth, is so important. If the gap provided is too shallow there is going to be SNAP! It is that snap has the potential to really suck.

  • @pfroncole1
    @pfroncole1 Год назад +1

    The Humboldt originated to reduce wood shatter by allowing the (usually Redwood) tree to go butt first to the ground. The original Humboldt included a block cut the purpose of which was/is to reduce pressure on the hinge of the undercut and thereby better guide the tree into the lay. The Humboldt version above is the standard for virtually all west coast logging and has been for many years now. It does reduce breakage- especially in brittle trees like cedars or redwood- and leaves a relatively square butted-log which west coast most mills demand, and arguably it may (can) reduce waste. There's also a common version of a Humboldt cut that includes elements of both the standard (traditional/farmer/lowlander cut) and the Humboldt above.
    The original Humboldt was not invented because of steep ground concerns, and make no mistake, a Humboldt with little or no stump shot does little to stop a tree from kicking back irrespective of slope..No undercut method ensures a tree will not kick back.
    Also no matter how you undercut a tree, as it falls, the hinge is under pressure, otherwise it is guiding nothing. Maximum pressure and pressure are not the same things.

  • @logmeindangit
    @logmeindangit 9 лет назад

    Good instruction, valuable stuff. Thanks. (My one critique: In the middle of the video, the instructor seemed a little unsure of his delivery, and in nervousness, inserted the filler phrase, "if you will" several times. Should've left those off. I'm sure that more practice would help there, each time getting more calm and conversational when speaking to his audience.) I really do like the tip about leaving some "holding wood" at the very back of the back cut. And although I knew how to make the notch and slightly higher back cut, I wasn't really sure why the back cut being higher helped. I'd thought it was just to create a taller hinge for strength as it bent the first 45 degrees. Now I know! YAY! This video cleared that up. It's an anti-slip-back tree holder. Super! Thanks for the video! Keep making them! Short, sweet, to the point! Good job.

    And I gotta tell ya... I'm really surprised I haven't heard of this before? My father, my brother and I, are arborist.
    My father owned a tree service company for several years. I started working when I was 16, and I worked with him about 6 years.
    I'm 53 years old now and still doing tree work.
    I'm surprised, this is the first time I've heard of this cut, because, Humboldt County California, is where me and my family live?!?
    I've seen that cut, I've done that cut... I just didn't know, that's what the cut is called?

    This is an excellent video because it totally explains why you are doing something,
    how to do it and the measurements. The one thing I wish had been explained was
    using wedges. I make my cut from the back, all the way through to the hinge, instead
    cutting the hinge first, removing the blade and then cutting the back. But what I do is
    once I go is so far, I insert my wedges and then continue the cut to the hinge. This way
    ensures that the tree cannot accidently pinch the blade. I pull the saw out and then drive
    the wedges in further until the tree begins to fall. If someone has a different opinion, please
    let me know and also explain why your opinion is correct.
