    Nice to see someone who not only knows which techniques to use when but why they work. This video had a couple of techniques I hadn't seen before, such as the "logger's glue" and the "palm tree" cut. Boring through the hinge to make room for a wedge was a good tip too.

    @temp850 5 месяцев назад +2

    This is the best video for felling trees I've seen. I felled a 30 footer right next to my house with great success but it probably took me three times as long as a pro. Usually I only fell dead gum trees in Australia for firewood. Up to forty to fifty feet high but always in bushland away from buildings. I always look up and check for branches and have a good escape route. And I never fell trees thicker than say, twelve to fourteen inches. Leave the big trees for the pros. Dead gum trees that are very dry, can also suddenly fall down when cutting for a hinge, so sometimes I just cut the 45 degree cut at the front and then do the back cut. They fall very easily.

    Idk your target audience but if its for beginners and DIY folks, hear me out below. I mean this only constructively.. if you were to slow it down, I feel like I'd catch 40% more of everything you're teaching. You say very beneficial, thoroughly explained things but also very quickly; and in combination, you're also speaking your tree language. So for newbies its hard to follow if the words don't get explained along the way. But don't listen to anyone on the web either lol

    I think a couple guys are doing that right outside my apartment complex, literally on the other side of my bedroom window. It sounds the exact same and everything. At 8 in the morning. But they've been going at it for 3 hours today. Does doing this often take long? I'm assuming it depends on the amount of trees and work that needs to be done. But this is the second morning of it for hours. It's just the bzzzzz noises and then a bunch of thwacking 😅 I just wanna sleep.

    I've been quoted $800-$1000 NZD to cut a thin 6m tall palm tree down... which is why Im here. I only have my 'lady's' chainsaw (small electric) but think I'll use a hand saw so I can reach up with an extension pole and cut it down in sections. Any tips for cutting the top 2m off a tree from the ground (angles of cuts will be off)?

    Nice work and instruction. I did logging on college breaks at my cousin's logging company in the 80s but we used a harvester in most cases to fell trees. Like said in the video have your escape route clear and you run faster and safer when you drop your saw. *I'd still call a pro to fell trees near buildings.* Don't be that guy who has to pay out of pocket for roof and structural damage to his house. HO made a good call getting you to down the trees tho not sure if he was prepared for the amount of non-firewood waste he had to haul off or chip with a home-owner sized chipper.

    Love this Chanel Seen it once or twice. But watching now before I get after this fairly big to me pondy pine in my yard. I need it to fall a certain way and it’s not the way it looks like it wants to. Makes me nervous. Its pretty big snow on the ground. I feel like I need to get a rope or cable in it and pull with truck or quad to make sure it goes that way. But not sure. Iv got wedges now this one has me concerned with the size , lean and crooked way it’s growing and kind of growing on a hill

  • @jackpalczynski7884
    @jackpalczynski7884 Год назад

    You're way more confident than me! Just wedges. Wow. I've built an air fired line shooter and put a line way up first without climbing, pull up a heavy rope, then with a pully to pull in the direction I want but not towards my winch, I'll winch in to tension the top a little. Then face cut 45 degrees under, with the straight on top. Then tighten the winch. Back cut. Have my helper winching in and I leave a very thick hinge and let the winch pull it over. For me, I'm not experienced enough to know exactly where the tree's going with just cutting and wedges. That line is real easy to predict where the tree's going. I'm no pro, so spending an hour on setup for the winch isn't a problem. I practice on leaners in the woods so no matter where the tree goes, it's not going to cause some massive issue.

    I just had a swag of trees removed from around my house, hollow, rotten, dodgy things. I had a professional in to do it, but I probably would for anything that could hit the house. I am quite happy to drop my own trees as needed further away from the house.

    Really good instruction. What do you do if you get one that leans back on you and pinches your saw in place? I had one happen the other day. Luckily I was in the woods and the tree could fall the other way and not damage anything. I had planned for the tree to go the other way but got the blade pinched before I could wedge. I had a second saw and cut the open face and let it go the way I had not intended but watching your videos I can imagine a lot of bad things could have happened.
