I go for a shallow vertical face on valuable timber. 80% of the diameter across the face (if needed) not 1/3 of the tree depth. Very often can just shave the root flare - I try never to go deeper than the first cut the mill might take to "skin" the log.

A closed face creates a pulling hinge. An open face creates a bending hinge. And then there's back cut height...

It is pronounced "steal", right? Just with a German spelling.

That's a pretty spot, @SeanKroll. M and I camped there for several days a few years ago, enjoyed some very nice hikes. https://www.masterblasterhome.com/threads/off-to-camp-hike-southern-nevada-and-arizona.20879/page-2#post-899172

The mills and tree cos are the only log trucks. No independent trucks any more.

If things weren't so crazy I'd come up.

Headed to Vegas to a Red Rock Canyon NCA M-Th for a rock climbing trip with Miriam.

I'm surprised given the woodsy country you're in

taking the time to upload bunches of vids from TX cutting hackery, pretty fun to cut stuff that holds/swings.

Went and looked at some trees needing cut (pretty good sized job) and some machines for sale. Small walkabout in gorgeous weather, good for the soul, didn't realize that was what I needed. Took some pretty pictures.

I remembered this thread after my foray into acquiring the large D handles for my 064 and 044 saws. This seller on eBay has what seems like Stihl OEM parts, not knockoffs. I can't vouch for all prices, but at least some are better than my local dealer. Not to say cheap :). Might be worth a...

YOu need a buddy with a log truck

How much do you think you will you lose to the heart rot? From the pics, it looks substantial on some of the pieces.

We got the walnut home today. Going to have plenty of work next week.

I think what he was thinking is the redirect was just that but the line angles made it his primary rigging point taking the load of the drop.

Looks like old metal wire mesh base. Better than the kind they had before that-a fairly heavy sheet metal with holes in it. Miserable.

When I bought my house 10 years ago (Fannie Mae repo) it had been vacant for over 2 years. Leaks everywhere. When I ripped out the kitchen cabinets, the wall behind the sink was black. I replaced the drywall up to 4' high. That got 95% of it. The rest was scraped, primed and painted. Both...
