I try to watch all Murphy’s vids to stay on top of the most cutting edge techniques. Wears me down, taxes my abilities, but keeps me on top of things.Or Murphy for fugs sake
Yup I agree. WS is super duper lame but I can see why he might get some views from the masses.Go watch the WranglerStar and observe plenty of WTF with many views
This(from FGTW)?basically, instead of a notch and back cut to hinge over limbs, just a bunch of slashes at varying depths, works nice on brittle wood as it spreads the bend out over multiple inches instead of a hard bend at a hinge, works great when needed, only ever used it once that I can remember
exactly! thanks for the pic!
pretty much, makes for a much more "relaxed" bend, can avoid sudden popping or dropping prematurely, as described in the pic above it hinges nice and slow, spreads the bending out across multiple inches instead of a point load, I suppose it could be super useful on brittle wood, silver maple for example, although I've only used it once to play with it in a hackberry, did exactly what I wantedSounds like a decent technique. Is the idea that you cause the limb to droop down a fair amount with the slashes (under?) the limb and then you finally sever with a single top cut?
There ya geaux!, im sure he stole the idea to begin with, so credit to whoever came up with it first
I'd say there are similaritiesI supposed it functions similar to a soft dutchman?
Dude, then you’ll miss my next 36m blockbuster.So I cut a bunch of brush and burned it. Oak, manzanita, buckbrush, and sourberry. Oh and poison oak. Rob was there, kicking ass as usual. Boss chased a lift. Better him than me, big city icky.
When I was out of work, I watched damn near everyone on YouTube to help scratch the itch. Now I'm back in it, and don't have time for their bullshit. In fact, I'm about to unsubscribe to everyone with a chainsaw on sheer principle. I don't watch, I'm of no value to them as a creator.
Moving on...
Soft Dutchman is kinda one of those on one side to kick it to the other. YT search Jake mesa working around obstaclesI supposed it functions similar to a soft dutchman?

thats been my experience, only wood we have that holds any sort of tricky hinge is pine and hemlock, everything else will break before the hinge steers it, I end up with a rope or two in 99% of trees I drop, use the hinge as a suggestion and work with the lean when possibleThem trickster cuts mostly only work on conifers.
Hours? Minutes! 😆 one or two tanks maybe.That air filter's pretty gnarly. How many hours since last cleaning?
