Thanks Jay, your info was very helpful to me in getting these vids up. This is the last one. I hope you guys enjoyed watching this. It was the first time for me playing around with the movie making program from start to finish. That experience in itself was different. Like I said, I made...

Here is the third one. I can see my biggest goof of the day. I wasn't holding the saw level for the back cut. http://youtu.be/xcAEbEgD1ig

Here is part two. We are getting closer to the the big cut. http://youtu.be/k9yR4aNNxpg

Ok, here we go. I hope this works. I didn't realize how many minutes of taping I had done so I broke this into four parts to go along with the pictures. This is the first one doing a pre inspection of the tree. I really didn't want to make this into a long drawn out affair for cutting one...

Thanks Jay , that was helpful. What is bigger a GB or MB. The last jump drive I bought was in Terra bytes (??) for storage. I have tons of stuff on it and really haven't made a dent in the storage.

WOW!!! You put it into a nutshell Jerry. I was at the point of just giving up on this video thing but I am starting to make progress. After trying so many tricks not to mention hours and money I didn't need to spend of trying to get the computer to recognize my camera. I finally got over came...

Again, thanks for the kind words. Hey Burnham, Intiallly I was going to bore cut this one but my consevatisim kicked in because I have never bore cut a tree quite this big.. If it was just 6 inches smaller in diameter I would have tried it Be my luck the lean side would sit on the saw or tear...

I always prefer a truck pull as long as there is room of course with the truck in a position like Willard showed having a full of the tree and sawyer. I have a couple of U bolts mounted into the front bumper of our truck. We used to use shackles to attach the pull rope , now we use a heavy...

Thanks. I try my best.

Almost done, this is a little trick I got over at AS years ago. As you pass the center of gravity doing the stump cut but before you reach the pinch or bind on the bar zone just before you come to the end of the cut. Stick two wedges behind the bar . The stump will fall back and the saw can...

Here are some of the pics from the felling. I cut a shallow notch because of the lean. No need for a big notch. I put a band around the tree just in case of a barberchair and of course the felling sticks . I don't use felling sticks because there is no need for me to use them. I just did this...

To help pull the tree away from it's intended lean we used the GRCS and added some extra mechanical advatage . This helped for the actual falling but this tree had such a lean to it that not matter what we did it still would have a mind of it's own to go with the natural lean side lean.

A visual inspection of tree showed a frost crack on the side where the notch was going to go and that Phtophthora fungus after removing some bark. One pic shows the oppite side of the tree. I suspect this is what killed the tree. With the bark starting to come off the tree a sounding with a...

My turn for tree felling and picture posting for better or worse for my skills as a faller:lol:. I am not a logger nor a real expert at felling whole trees in the woods. Most of my work is felling the stick after the top has been removed. Here goes. Going to be alot of pics so bear wit me. Also...
