The Official Work Pictures Thread

@Maximalist, are you always busy or does work slow down once in a while?

I see you cut a Humboldt face in that spruce, or at least a snipe, What do you russkis call a Humboldt undercut, vs a conventional face ?

Have you ever read The Fundamentals of General Tree Work, by GF Beranek? He's a member here, at least he used to be :/: , and the book is considered the Bible for Treework

I'm busy all the time. What you call "Humbolt's muzzle" is called a classic. I call the snipe a springboard. By the way, Jerry and I discussed this snipe, and he said that this option can be called anything, depending on the region. I have never read Mr. Beranek's books. I don't understand English. I learned everything by myself. I cut down the first tree when I was 11 years old. I am 58 years old now. I've been sawing trees for 47 years now, and during that time I wrote my Bible.
 
Wow😀!Now you can upload photos directly, bypassing special photo upload sites. There are three withered elms in the photo, which I may cut down tomorrow. Of course, if it doesn't rain. I don't work in the rain. P.S.Thank you, Carl! 😀👍🤝

Hurray! The situation has moved forward! :) Kavi, judging by the photo, are you left-handed? Or am I mistaken? :) And one more question - why do you ignore wearing a helmet? Is this a show-off or a belief? :)
 
I'm right handed, but I work ambidextrous.

I don't often wear a helmet because I do not yet own a comfortable one. I'll wear my tin hat when I know there are hangers or other hazards that might come down on me.

If I take an unintentional swing, I've likely got bigger problems than my noggin getting bumped.

We all take the risks we're comfortable with. I like to work with minimal hindrances. Also, when I took my fall, my helmet made no difference.
