gotta get this one off my chest

[murphy4trees]

the long stringy hinge fibers straight across the back of the hinge are a clear sign that the hinge had A LOT of holding ability... 2-3" across the entire hinge and spiking to 4-6" in some areas... I rarely see hinges with that much holding ability cut by anyone else.... So I would call that a great hinge, as opposed to a good hinge... THE END!

 

[FireFighterZero]

I would still throw it in a fire.

 

[squisher]

I would call it a overcomplicated, underperforming waste of time.

 

[squisher]

Are you happy now?

 

[Altissimus]

One side cut for every person in danger by your falling cuts ?

 

[sotc]

c'mon.. where did all the experts around here go????

good, bad or indifferent what do you think of that hinge???

You're the only exspurt around here Daniel. All I know is that stump is a masterpiece. Sheesh Squishy, such disrespect! 😠

 

[squisher]

Heh I know he wanted expert opinions but I figured I could chime in too.

Wtf! We be nuking norway maples here by the thousands, the hinge looks like a hinge. Are you saying the tree knew it was you who was cutting it so it held on better? Daniel you get an A+ for loving tree work and an A for overthinking cutting.

For example, before you choose to reveal the reason for the side nips, whatever that reason may be, side nips did jack didley to make that tree fall better, IMHO.

Great hinge on such a bigly tree, a work of art. Probably unpossible to duplicate. It's a wonder a rep from the Smith Brothers museum doesn't have your phone ringing off the hook. E-nore da haters...

 

[murphy4trees]

print it out and put it on the fridge!

 

[squisher]

So did I miss the 'lesson'?

 

[Bounce]

Any hinge you walk away from is a good hinge.

 

[murphy4trees]

You're not alone there. Everyone else did too

 

[MasterBlaster]

lulz

 

[BlackSmith]

Not gonna lie, I was impressed...

 

[squisher]

I'm sorry. But this is simply not true.

Honestly, the hinge was the first thing that I noticed. Very well executed tapered hinge which I like to use all the time, as well as nipping the corners and sides when deeded.

 

[cory]

why would nipping be needed in that species? Daniel isn't saying.

Apparently no one is saying.

Secret handshake chit

What are the odds DM will tell us the ins and outs of that stump. Maybe he wont cuz feels hasn't been given enough respect for that which many of us don't understand, yet. 60/40 he'll tell us.
