end weight reduction. the boss calls it safety pruning. i think it means make it safe and dont spend time making it pretty, but i always try to make it look nice.

To me, safety pruning has usually meant major deadwood and obvious hazards. But like Patrick's boss, there isn't much allowance for time for shaping or appearance.

another short one. cottonwood take down in two pieces to fit the dropzone.

Youtube must be overloaded right now, it took forever to get that video to play.
Good job, Ben.

 

[brendonv]

Cool, Ben.

I hadn't known you were still working for Robert! Looked like a Norway Maple. Hate those trees.

 

[flushcut]

Smooth!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nicely done Ben

 

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Yep, nice one Ben...smooth as usual mate. Like the soundtrack you chose too! Client refrain from turning into a raging bitch yesterday? She seemed ok before I left site....

 

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Cool, Ben.

He was, then he went, then he came back, then he went again.......now he's back. And I'm happy.........and I think he is too.

Nice job with the rigging, smooth

 

[mistahbenn]

Thanks guys, the lady was very happy with the work. She watched the whole thing from her bedroom

 

[woodworkingboy]

Cool vid, sharp saw too.

 

[Ryan]

Very nice. Is the fisheye effect an option or is that how the camera records?

 

[mistahbenn]

Its just the way it is, wide angle lens, Drift x170 camera. Not the best but affordable. I'd like to get a P.O.V camera next

660 was acting up, original plan was to crane the wood off but couldn't block the street, watered the rope a bit to keep things cool, a nice friday.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Awesome view Gord. Sticky sucker too. Nicely done as always

 

[MasterBlaster]

TCOB!!!

 

[Jed]

Nice Gord! Do you guys have Rednecks up there in Canada? You should ship that 660 down to us so we can port that thing for ya. That thing sounds sick as a dog.

 

[brendonv]

Cool vid Gord, I always enjoy them. Just noticed I wasn't suscribed, just took care of that too.

What do ya'll do with all the wood? I noticed the small chipper and you always seem to do some monsters.

 

[Bodean]

Nice Job, Gord.

That's my favorite part of tree work, false crotching wood.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Enjoyed that! You might take another loop around with your starter rope.

 

[Jed]

Are you serious Deva? No offense man, I mean: "to each his own," and all that sort of thing; but, in all seriousness--why? Then again..... it might just be me. Our rigging is so old, and such crap, that we always have to take stuff super small, and are always scared to death at that!:roll:

 

[flushcut]

Sounds like a liability and time for some new rigging.
