Shigo urged the same thing when he said always shoot to make the target cut perfectly... That teaching is completely unrealistic and has continued to plague the tree care industry for over 40 years.
One of my clients, a surgeon, turned me onto this saying:
Perfection is the enemy of good...
I spend an extra minute to make this notch
then saved an hour on the clean up and lawn repair
That's a 28" bar
3" short for the notch
the intentionally high second cut takes about 20 seconds on average.
It's hard to understand how making such a quick and easy modification to the open face...

NO one had any idea this could even be done when I published it. Notice the lack of comments... only one comment with 1,400 views.
Its so far above everyone's head they don't know what to say...
When it was put up here, people had to ask how it was done.
That's 2017... you're 6 years late to the party!

And please show some of your work so we know what kind of man we are in a conversation with.
Oh and since that is your first post, welcome to the treehouse ;)
I AM faster in a bucket than anyone on a rope and saddle... ANYONE!
Your attitude shows what a limited view you have.
That said I was on rope and saddle for the above video, which you must not have watched
Forward the link to your apprentices and see if they call me fat, lazy doing shoddy work!

When my life is on the line, I'll spend the extra few seconds to get more control from the hinge. Do you understand the gap face has extra holding ability? And that this cut gets a similar effect for a whole lot less effort?

Stig recently called another topping cut "shoddy work" because the photo of the face showed that it had more than 2 cuts used to make the face.
In the above video, it takes less than 5 seconds to make the intentionally high first bottom cut of the face (from 6:12-6:17). This allows the seconds...
