That's really great!
.
i remember when a lot of us gathered before here; we had another hurricane with all kinds of trees down (lot less now).
A buddy had inherited a house that twin massive live oaks floating about 2 o'clock over it
>>trees now almost ripped from ground, but then other trees laying across and under base stem to support and anchor, it was a mess.
.
Insurance would pay for house, but he didn't want to lose it, but then not much money, offered $300 1 Sunday to drop trees anywhere, try to miss house, real low-income area. Cranes and crews down the road like in a flurry of bidding wars.
.
i cut down a small junk tree in swing path to open ground.
In short did facing over to down side away from house, then dutch kerf under house side of facing.
066 sporting a 42" didn't quite reach across.
Cut down into close dutch on house side and carried the motion of the tree to flow into the facing, pulled by tapered hinge.
>> working in unison , as a flow in swing concept init by down to empower and push/pull over at same time
Spars were long and heavy at extreme angle to load extremely and Live Oak is mighty fine wood where other woods mite not have done so well
i'd played with this stuff before, not on this scale/at this angle; but had re-proved all to myself again!
.
i wished everyone was down here with cameras.
i chickened out on drawing any attention, figured if anyone watched i'd certainly crush the house on the 6pm news!
#2 went just as well!
Meanwhile at AS the discussion on my lil'discussion on Tapered Hinge was not going so well;
even tho i acknowledged i was crazy; i still insisted tapered hinge was not!
Dutchman for felling/bucking/climbing was way to much!
.
gotta run to werk
