I think it started with post #6207 in the tree felling videos

Thanks again for the advice guys. It's funny when the most significant part of a removal has nothing to do with the work itself but rather who you did the work for. http://youtu.be/f3bJuzGNyFo

Thanks Burnham, I will have to play around with that on a small scale until I get it figured out.

Is there a way to set a line at 90 degrees from the lay and keep it tight the whole time the tree is falling?

I never gave that any thought but it makes sense. If I had known the grain was twisted or saw any sign of it before I started I would not have made the vertical cuts. Starting Monday I will go back to timber falling part time. That will give me plenty of trees to practice this technique...

I considered it and figured it would effect it to a certain degree.

You're right Burnham and I didn't actually think I would hit my desired lay but I figured it would hinge farther than it did. Oh well, at least there wasn't a house under it.

Ya Stig I didn't notice that until after I posted the pictures on here. I basically cut my holding wood with the vertical cuts.

I had a heavy leaning doug fir that I tried the triple hinge on. It failed miserably but I blame the frozen tree, rotten center and the more than average heavy lean. I had a line tied in it to but the tree didn't move very far before I got slack in the line and that was all she wrote, right...
