Jer your enthusiasm means the world to me!! Thanks to everyone for the feedback! Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks B! My only concern with the separate faces is that it just seems so much more likely to split down from the top one in a barber chair type thing. Also it seems like you would have a higher chance of mismatching the depths of the cuts which could cause one or both to fail. My thinking...

Yep I spelled it wrong. I was so surprised that when I googled you Stig it came up with all sorts of references to your black belt status and visits to California for Karate purposes as opposed to what I expected which was logging/tree stuff. A very multitalented man you are!

You are Murphy.

Hey Chris! :)

I would say the lay would have been like 110, 120 degrees to the lean. Just notching it towards the lay wouldnt have worked, it would have ended up smashing the crab, the deck behind it or getting hung up in the maples. They were basically touching as you can see. As for the rest of the tree...

Thanks FB, whats your first name again? Guys, Murphy obviously used the best rope angles available, did Daniel second guess Miagi?? I dont think so.

More than likely it could have been blocked down just as fast, given the size. It was a fun exercise and good practice though should I ever run into something similar.

I imagine that was a bit bigger tree! My gut says you are right about the narrow hinge and directional precision. Not wanting to take that chance, we used the relocated grcs pull to crank it against the resistance of the porta wrap which pretty much let us lay it exactly where we wanted it in...

It doesnt, but its worth knowing that people saw it.

I have been thinking of how to make a notch go two ways. I wanted to pull a tree back and then sideways with the hinge holding the whole time. We did something similar with a maple that had been storm thrown onto a house. We were able to pull it up and then sideways by facing the notch two...
