Nice vids Gord. The Germany one looks like fun

 

[Mr. Sir]

That first one looked like a blast.

 

[sotc]

nice find, bet theres alot of black top damage.
Second vid is cool but seem a bit hairy to leave all those trees sawed up, not to mention all the wedges he must have to pack around!

 

[sotc]

Notice anything funny at 6 minutes?

[CurSedVoyce]

Watching Wes and Zack is almost painful.

 

[lumberjack]

What about at 7 minutes? Still watching it and the next 3.

 

[sotc]

7 minutes was hard to tell if he screwed up or just had roots pull

 

[Dave Shepard]

I think this is your boy busheler, aka Big Stick: Here If one and the same, he's a real jackass.

 

[Gord]

lol Dave that just confirms what I had already guessed, the guy is a huge tool.

From youtube comments:

Gord
Wow where did you find a hard hat big enough to fit your massively swollen head...?

Busheler
Gord,
You ought to see my balls...you couldn't carry them in a friggin' backpack.

Gord
not into lookin at others dude's balls....you might try craigslist for that sort of thing

Busheler
I was simply stating fact,if only to add to your vicarious fix..............

 

[sotc]

Yeah, I doubt i'd like to work with him but his vids are cool

Just a twisted alder from the other day.

 

[stig]

You sure grow them tall, up there in the PNW.
That looked like a lot of fun.
Nice work, Gord.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Heck yea, TALL!!!

 

[woodworkingboy]

I noticed that at about six minutes into the one vid, the faller left his saw about a foot from the stump when he vacated.

 

[gf beranek]

Cool vids. That Bushler guy reminds me of so many fallers I worked with in the woods. And a few arborists I have known too.

 

[Gord]

In that one vid at six minutes it looks like he cut the low side right off and the lean pulled a lot of wood on the uncut side.

 

[Gord]

Thought I'd add some more vids to this thread...

Why did it have to go?

been asked this loadsssss

Tree had been struck by lightning years ago and had started to rot on the one side, so fell it to get the timber out of it, it was also leaning over a lane so the owner wanted it down for health and saftey stuff, and this was supposed to be the last big tree my granddad fell and had the timber from, but now i've gone into the forestry line of work we have been falling more oaks this size haha
