Scott, that was really a good post. One of those that makes the Treehouse my favourite place to hang out.

:lol: You and Burnham are turning this into comedy of the finest kind:)

This from the guy who can turn a simple face cut into a long, drawn out, "lets recut it over and over again" thing. You teaching chainsaw skills to someone is like me teaching a Chinese octogenarian to use chopsticks:lol: We've been through this before, but really Daniel, learn to sharpen your...

As for the wedges spitting out thing, I found a way to deal with that and simply forgot to mention it here. I took two hardheads with the metal knocked off so they were useless. I made one wedge out of them battaching them to each other with a bunch of wood screws. Now they cant spit out, unless...

You'd know, Jerry:)

:)

Daniel, my country implemented procedures for sustainable logging back in 1763. For every tree we fall a new one is planted. What I meant with my comment was that it must have been fun being alive in the days where forests of the new world were just seen as a neverending source of wood. A...

Not me. I'd have loved being part of that. The whole" just whack it down and turn it into lumber like there is no tomorrow" feeling must have been nice.

We are planting 12000 Abies Normanniana for x-mas trees right now, in an area that was prepared by running a smaller version of that machine over it. While it is certainly nice that all stumps and debris is gone, having to dig through 5-10" of schredded wood in order to hit soil is not.

When I grow up, I want to work for them:)

It does indeed. Your point about reading the tree made me think of when I felled my one and only Redwood. I've lived in Humboldt county for some years in the early and late 80es. I go back there every so often to teach karate. When I went over in -99 my good friend who runs the karate school...

Honestly, on trees that small it is a waste of time to have to cut a jack seat instead of just using wedges. Unless you need to lift one a whole lot to tip it over, which was not the case. I am of course referring to the Swiss Norway spruces and not Cory's redwood:lol:

Was that you, Stephen?

You are way behind, Murph. We have already apologized to each other.:) But why would the principle be different, just because I don't use a Humboldt in my daily work?

I can't do it either, Daniel. I only use the Humboldt when taking tops out of trees, so cutting a big one is beyond me. They would be kinda hard to use with the extremely low stumps that we are required to set. On the traditional I can keep it down to having to recut one in a hundred or less...

That would be like me saying: " On my videos I don't try to make my roundhouse kick to the head perfect unless I'm kicking a dwarf:lol: On an instruction video, you have to make everything perfect and make it look easy. Take a gander at Jerry's videos and you'll see what I mean.

I never did that, Daniel. I criticized a guy who makes " how to do" videos for not being able to make a face in two cuts. Big difference IMO. When I make instruction videos, I make sure every detail is in order, or do it over till I get it right. Besides, busting your chops about your saw...

I don't mind debate, Jerry. I think that is pretty much a given by now. I also don't mind a good verbal fight once in a while ( Brian and I have had some whoppers and we can still be Housers together:)) What I mind is that those two Arborist Site tranfers are spouting the same shit here that...

I think my only response to this can be to tell you to go frig yourself and then I'll leave the House to the real loggers. Hereby done.
