Fourth day in a row of rain. Thought we might dry out yesterday, but it was pea soup fog with occasional light sprinkles until about 6pm. It's chilly, damp and dim. Wish I had my slicker and much boots, I'm getting stir crazy.

you can have my 15 days ;)

I'd burn it in my wood stove. Way more energy density than wood.

Y’all are getting lumps of coal…to burn and thaw your frozen hearts.

The left side hinge is not guaranteed to bend a worth while amount more than the right hinge. I've had it seemingly make no difference on some white oak. Multiple kerfs would have been better to force a slight bend in each kerfed section along the larger hinge height.

5 of them are in January! People are tired of the decorations right when the holiday is starting on the 25th.

It also depends on how tall the log is vs the diameter, and how much it weighs. Double diameter quadruples the cross sectional area, so volume and weight will quadruple, and increased height adds leverage, so that only works with small or short trees. The only way I see getting a big tree to do...

There are a whole bunch now ! 😆

I used my narrow Muller alum wedge vertically into the side of the gap face (tension side) here, hoping to save time popping the whole face out at once. Unfortunately, I got a jagged one third and had to fiddle around with saw and axe considerably, edited out of video. Maybe I will post the long...

Species specific technique right there. River birch being the optimal species, elm would be another good one, spruce maybe. But then again ye old bomb pad is real easy to make for non impact turf jobs. Or cut it low enough so the log comes in flat. Then again the longer I’ve been in business...

For many species, that wouldn't work. But it sure did work fine there.

Beast!!

There are 12 days of Christmas and not one of them is in November!

We pulled hard about 180 to lean. I didn’t get fancy with the cuts, just tapered hinge to hold against the secondary lean towards the camera.

Understandably so.

Cheers Sean, he trains hard. Has a good fight IQ and listens to his coaches. He started Muay Thai at 4 years old so has a few year of training behind him. But it is his determination that impresses me. Very calm and collected and seems to take it in his stride. Best thing to compliment this...

He sounds like a badass! Looks like he trains hard!

I've recently found that whizzy/ sizwheels help steer some hard-to-steer branches-- doug-fir.

In guessing that's a thick hinge, pulled hard, giving lots of fiber pull. Triple hinge/ whizzy might work enough without such fiber pull. Maybe not!

He's on TB.
