    Good morning Reg, Thankyou so much for doing another Stella video.. It must be a pain to video when all you want to do is concentrate and crack out the job.. But I really appreciate your time and energy into providing these... Over the years I learnt SO much for you which I've implemented into my Arb life. Thanks again and hope you have a great day.

    8:18. I would like to talk to someone that knows for sure the proper angle for the face, depending on the elevation, length of log, etc, to figure out the way to land flat. Obviously you know, but I’m still guessing. Most are good, but I’ve planted a few, to my shame!😆🌿🌸Great stuff!

    • @peelnation
      @peelnation 2 месяца назад +2

      Assuming it's vertical. The piece you're cutting should be 1/5 of the stem. Deep conventional 45 degree notch a little more than halfway should make it flip and land flat. August gets them flat more by 'feel' and giving a little push upward on the butt as it leaves to get a rotation

    • @neild7971
      @neild7971 2 месяца назад

      A lot of it is that one fifth ratio if you are free to choose length of logs. From higher in the tree and on smaller wood you can effect the spin a surprising amount by a tap with your hand. Less than 1/5 could use a down slap to the butt to slow the spin, longer pieces a hand under(but not in the undercut!)allowing the tip to get ahead on the rotation.

    I know to you this is all old hat, but to most of us we will never get to be in the canopies that you get to call your office, so from us small tree cutters I thank you for taking us on a ride of a lifetime. I know you have been in some tall trees, so I was wondering what was the tallest tree you have taken down and the tallest you have climbed recreationally?

    • @Recoates
      @Recoates  2 месяца назад +3

      I don't do rec climbing, and it's very difficult to say which was the tallest. The old growth fir I've worked on here are generally between 200-250 ft. There was once a heavy leaner that I did which stood out in my mind because it was way above all the others that I could see in the group. But being up there you are sharply focused on getting the job done safely. Height only factors into your mind depending on how far your line is from the ground for when you inevitably have to swap for a bigger saw
