Or just keep cutting. It split when he stopped cutting.

My 3-4 hours untangling was off the job. That line seemed cursed, always trying to tangle.

I sat around for 3-4 hours untangling a mess like that. It was pretty bad. Probably 200-300ft worth tangled, maybe more.

I was thinking the same. Just don't use harbor freight junk, and make your own.

Lots of face and back kerfs could extend the vertical length of the hinge and allow it to flex in more places, so it holds together better slowing down the fall.

Oak and other deciduous sticks are very convenient, perhaps not so much with the trees you cut. Jerry showed a cool trick of cutting a wedge and using the bar to tap it into place before finishing the cut.

I tend to use the top of the bar as much as possible to keep so much dust from flying at me, but I rarely do that for felling.

Might be able to if a single kerf on the face is made first. That's how I usually do it. The back cut needs to meet just above so it doesn't hang up and not slide off.

Tie it higher and lower it with the port a wrap, so the leverage doesn't stress the rope so much.

I don't know what the goal was, but that's a lot of stress to put on a rope.

Looks like the trunk rotated 180 degrees on the way over.

what are they clearing the forest for?

I almost thought he was going to cut it down with one single cut.

It is half the time. I do what I can to help things go smoothly, but much of my skill and knowledge goes unused. We've been pretty lucky, but that could just be the perspective of my really high standards.

It depends on what you call a thick or thin hinge. As far as thin goes, often enough the trunk left in residential work requires the hinge to be pencil thin to pull over without a machine. But as for thick hinges, I think I'd prefer a multi hinge approach like a triple hinge rather than >3"...
