Duuuuude-a OUTSTANDING VIDEO and COMMENTARY…You’re saving lives of many who live in the country, and cut our own lumber and firewood…And see all kinds of DEADLY FUBARy-THANK YOU!😳😳😳🙏
I recently did a small tree with a lot of lean and put a Dutchman in the lean side. Then a block face cut 90° to the lean but very closed and tight on the lean side and very open like a sizwheel on the opposite tension side. Thing swung well over 100° to the lean!
Not really a sizwell? Maybe a minor one? A sizwell is when you would cut out that part of the face entirely so that side of the face cut never completely closes allowing the hingewood fibers to hold on till the tree is almost on the ground
The whole point of siz is to keep the hinge fibers attached longer so your face cut/dutchman can pivot the tree where you want it to go. Siz does not do the pivoting, it is a help to that which DOES the pivoting. Likewise, Siz does nothing in non brittle trees as shown in this video.
That's a new one for me. Seems like it would be help preventing tree kick back also. Only worry I'd have (but I always do regardless haha) is if it would be more prone to barberchair?
I'd love to see someone do the math on these more extravagant joints. I'd bet the numbers would reveal some really effective joints, and a bunch that are just hokum.
Alright I have a question bro. What kind of saws do the pros use. Like is that saw you use is that one you can just buy? And if not how do you get them? Is it common for pros like you to buy saws off the shelf? How many chains you bring how long does a chain last? Sorry I have 1000 more questions that I'll ask later lol 😆 I'm really curious about this line of work
So yes we do buy saws off the shelf but we will typically have to buy them at either a Stihl or Husqvarna dealer to get a professional series saw. But there is a lot of money in getting these saws modified after you buy them off the shelf. I will typically keep 3-4 chains in the truck but only use probably 1-2 a day
The purpose of this cut is not to make it spin one way or another especially when you are trying to overcome severe side lean. It is made to help “anchor” your holding side just a smidge longer allowing you to bring it around further than if you hadn’t used it. If the lean isn’t crazy you could make it “spin”
Ahhhh.. Thats one of the best videos i have seen showing how the hinge works with a sizwheel.
thanks for that. Especially slow mo repeats of the action.
Wow. Weird how that tree went back up 3 times before finally falling. Neat.
😂😂
Good explanation! The slo mo vid really helped to see what was happening. You should use that if you make other instructional vids. Stay safe!
Good explanation thanks. Be good to have been shown the stump afterwards! Maybe next time?! Cheers 🇬🇧

Great explanation of the sizwell. You should hear my Hawaiian friend explain it. Much more entertaining explanation also a lot less accurate.
Fantastic explaining

Depends how hard you want it hold. The wider you cut it the longer it will hold on.
Absolutely awesome demonstration and explanation! Thank you!

* Would a Humboldt face cut work better when utilizing the Sizwell?
Nice job god bless
Excellent job, thank you.

@@topheavytimber thanks! So like my saw was 400 at Lowe's lol the biggest one they had 455 husk
How much is a pro saw
My saw is 1600$ off the shelf
@@topheavytimber nice! Sweet stay safe I'll see you on your next one. Btw I'd watch an actual video if you wanted to make some new ones
Yeah that is something that I am working on. I am trying to create a series of informational stuff
❤❤❤❤fkn awesome regardless of whatever technical name anybody wants 2 call it. Kings 2 you
Face cut to small.. thus eliminating the affect of the sizwell. It just pulled out instead of holding on, controlling the fall.
I have the rest of the video if you want to see it. It actually pulled around further that I wanted it to if I remember correctly.
Amazing! Great work! I love that sound of money hitting the ground hard!
Thanks for sharing, hope to see more!
you're hired! Id Like to see u work! I opt out if it looks dicey.
Any idea where the name came from and on the technical side how far in do you cut with it ?
No idea where the name came from. I like to go about half the width of the face cut and make the void about 8-10 inches on the outside portion
Great explanation!
Thanx that may be handy info out in the woods
nice
Thanks from aus.
It spun the wrong way.
The purpose of this cut is not to make it spin one way or another especially when you are trying to overcome severe side lean.
It is made to help “anchor” your holding side just a smidge longer allowing you to bring it around further than if you hadn’t used it.

@@topheavytimber I can make them roll everytime with a sizwell. Yours was just too small.
You can also make them hold on longer simply by leaving more hingewood on one side.
It also works far better on a conventional notch.
@@joshlower1 copy that big dog 🤙
Man I'm too old and busy to learn how to swing a tree like that, insanely useful though if you have wooded land. Great explanation.
Sweet!!
Great video sir
Thank you 🙏
Why did you lean the camera fraud?
Hey Einstein, you see the vertical tree he made sure was in the background?
