The pieces were all made with a Bandit 1590 3-D Printer, there was no glue involved, the connections are like Lego blocks!

Im going to be the bad guy. I don't know the climber and don't mean any disrespect. In my opinion, that climber wastes a mind boggling amount of energy running around the tree. A monkey fist or a polesaw to set lowering lines would take out 2/3 of that movement. Now, I am NOT saying that person isn't a good climber. Im saying they will really come to life and start banging out more cutting from one location when they start whipping monkey fists around a little more.

Its me Chris. Thanks for feedback, TL video is a great way to see things like that.
It went pretty quickly and came in fine on billage which keeps the vote happy.

Hey, don't think Im insulting you, not on purpose my friend. It was what stuck out to me and one can only benefit from fresh perspective.

There has to be a reason that I can't see from the vid...which is to be expected, I know...but I couldn't see an obstacle to felling it in one go. More than once in my working career I did so when the asumption was, climb and dismantle; I took the other tack and made it happen pretty easy and fast.
What say you, Nick?

Burnham,
It just wouldnt have fit, the wide angle lens can be deceiving at time. From the cameras perspective, to the left was a row of arborvitae to the the right another maple and behind it was a structure.
Looking at the video, it looks like it might have layed in there but I assure you it wouldnt have.The back lead, which I worked last was also much more 'over the house' than the camera lets on.
Chris,
I am not here to flaunt my awesomeness buddy, I appreciate the feedback. There was one time on the tape, where I set a tip tie, climbed down to cut, then changed the plan and climbed all the way back up and worked it down, talk about a waste of energy.
I was also using the new rigging sling I made just to try it out and proof the splices. The guys I work with can get a bit tired of trying new stuff, setting up my cameras etc so I elected to not try any of the remote retrieval today, some of what you see is me climbing up to set that and back down etc when I could have certainly natural crotched it more efficiently.
Lucky for me a our office is pretty progressive and has a high level of skill and experience, so I do get to try new things and we are usually way ahead on billage which takes a lot of the pressure off.

No worries, Nick...it's as I suspected.
But now that I think of it, you'd have been doing the customer a favor by thrashing that arborvitae...I hate that crappy brush

Its the worst right! I like when we get sent to take 6" off the top of 3 small ones and they end up being twice the height of the damn house!

If you measure the 6" off from the ground, you're headed in the right direction.

The bosses are letting me get in on the crane fun more often! I am also trying to make the timelapse more interesting. One of the guys has this job from a different angle on his GoPro so I may re-edit eventually.
