I originally meant a tag line to help swing the limb, not a rigging line tied above to support the weight of the limb. I can see where having BOTH would be very beneficial.
Skwerl, I had thought of that as well. I'm getting fairly decent at figuring my balance points and getting the limbs to go where I want them. I think this situation would really be affected by where the rigging was placed as well, whether it was directly above or off to the side. That whole...
I figured it would be. No matter where your hinge ASKS the limb to go, gravity is TELLING it where it will go. I didn't know if there was way to coax it into doing something it didn't want to do as a whole instead of taking small bites.
Once again, I was just asking to satisfy cutiousity more...
I figured species would play a huge role in it. The ones I've noticed around here lately are Maple for the most part. Basically, I spot a tree while I'm driving and try to figure out how I'd cut a limb to clear whatever obstacle I see it above. Or, I try to figure out where the weight is in an...
Hi all.
I've got a (hopefully) quick question for you all. If you've got a low limb that is above something you'd rather not hit (roof, fence, decorative tree, etc.), how do you handle it? Can you notch it on one side vertically and back cut the other and get it to swing some assuming you've...
