here's the falling cut on the same spar

this fat hinge used a plate cut and sizwheel on white ash at about 45 feet height. my buddy made the cut. I explained it and demonstrated the sizwheel in about a minute just before he went up. we agreed that he would move away from the cut and move over to the other side of the tree before...

I was on this job with the loader, but these aren't my cuts. one of these hinge was a backleaning ash with some side lean. I think it was the big cut

little dry Spruce yesterday. pulling with F550

All you do is throw mud... that's low, but hard to beat. Fortunately, I don't care what you or your cronies think... I throw up a hinge pic, which could be a valuable topic for discussion, and you talk trash. PERIOD.

I was using a sizwheel on the far corner of the notch... had to carve it with the tip since the codom was interfering with access. Sizwheel did not engage. several levels is intentional plate cut, which is standard operating for most cuts... anything where significant holding is needed...

this is the hinge that Stig was slandering ..... the tall fiber pulls show strong holding ability... taper/ swing Dutchman worked well holding against fairly heavy side lean. do you see anything else?

there was enough mass in that set to dampen the hit.. I was n't worried about the logs flying. I was only concerned about the medium hemlock to the left of the picture off-screen. Turned the gun a little left to shade away from it.

not my job. I was helping out with the loader. I did adjust the gun slightly just before the drop.

what you see on the ground is the hinge from the first of the three hinge pics... why would you ever refer to the cut on the ground when you could comment on the close up which is there for all to see? And once again your posts are mere mud-slinging.. you make no constructive criticism because...

Are you losing your mind???? What you see on top of that flush cut are the broken fibers of the hinge.... That's obvious.. so why do you keep calling it a notch??? That is the first hinge of three.

You are losing it pal.... maybe lingering brain damage... what you call the "notch laying on the ground", is not a notch at all... and it's pretty obvious from the photo.. that's the flush cut of the first stem. That's the first close-up of the hinges in post 558... Your criticisms are so...

If you want to discuss the properties and functions of those hinges, I'd like to hear your thoughts... as far as the personal judgments... I couldn't care less.

You are completely FOS.... asking a simple question isn't begging and writing one line isn't going out of my way...

treesmith said: I thought “holding power” was relative to the situation at hand. If it’s all about thick, jagged, torn hinges, I guess I’m a novice. If it’s true holding power I need, I’ll trust a well-set rope over a hinge any day. If you meant to say that you trust a retainer line also...

i was the first person to show that technique on youtube.. 2010 hardly over my head.. you could have simply have added one word to make it clear

When I say a bunch of idiots.. this is the sort of thing I'm talking about... trusting a well set rope over a hinge... who would make a comment like that... Rope goes slack as soon as the tree picks up speed, which happens quickly... once that rope goes slack the only holding power is in the...

There was nothing especially difficult about that drop. I never said there was. The only extraordinary thing that I mentioned was the holding ability of the last hinge in dead ash... it's the comments by Stig and others that show their in-the-box thinking.

if you have to ask, include yourself
