My old mentor said: it is a waste of gas to cut the same area of a tree twice.

Couldn't have said that better myself.

The only tip I have for matching cuts is practise, practise, practise!

Except for the ewxtremely irritating "music", that is just another day in the woods for me.

Anyone with a sharp saw and a pair of balls or ovaries could have cut his/her way out of the last one. Of course, anyone with a grain of sense would have bored and tripped it and avoided the situation all together. Was fat Frankie trying to emulate Murphy's out of the box tecniques and fell...

I'd hate to do cleanup after him, the way he cut everything into itty bitty pieces. Also why trip every top instead of simply spearcut it and let it go vertically down....WAY faster.

Yep. The ones where you pick up every little branch on the ground along your escape route, so you won't trip..

Exactly. All tameshiwari is good for is breaking stuff, doesn't make you a better fighter. Good mental exercise, though. If you stack 3 bricks on top of each other and try to hit them hard enough to break them, you'd better be totally focused. If they don't break, the force will break your hand...

I don't feel any ill effects from it. I still use the makiwara twice a week. I like to keep my knuckles in such shape, that if I hit a head, it will be the head that breaks, not my hand. This is me, breaking bricks. First picture is maybe 1980, second maybe 2005. I hold the unofficial Danish...

I prefer using the knife edge of my hand.........shuto. Pretty easy if you have trained your hand. I did a LOT of makiwara work when I was younger. I doubt I could do it today after my hand got demolished in the staircase fall. It still doesn't work 100%. And doubt makes it impossible. Hesitate...

I simply don't get "the backcut first" on a tree that size?

Look at the wood turning thread. There are some turnings of mine.

Being one, I can tell you, that you are right. Simply because if you have to pay too much for the wood, the price of the finished thing will be so high, it won't sell. So it is actually more like the customers that are cheap. here, at least.

Except for using a bar twice as long as necessary on flat ground. That is "West coast" style. Sorry, but I'm not sitting still for 40 minutes chain saw education, so I skipped around some. Might have missed the moment, when his bar length fit the tree. Sorry, but I'm not impressed. Least of...

Oh, well...........................................................! The thing about hinges breaking in cold weather, is in my experience, complete bullshit.

I was thinking it was like watching ol' Murph trying to make a face cut. Except their saws could actually cut.

I'm guessing these two are paid by the hour!

Truly a tree felling axe, that one.
