    I like the fact that when something doesn't work your willing to admit it. We're guys, we do things, we learn things from others, and we just go out and do it. We don't usually have cameras recording us. When we sometimes fail, we learn from it. It's the only way we succeed. But none of us want to admit, nevertheless show it on video.

  • @thefrub
    @thefrub Před 5 lety +64

    Most important part of chopping down a tree: After you finish punching the trunk out, you need to look up inside the tree and punch the hidden trunk out, otherwise the top of the tree will stay floating in the air, then wait around a minute to collect some saplings and apples that fall.

  • @ladyofthemasque
    @ladyofthemasque Před 5 lety +8

    I've done some fighting in the SCA (medieval fighting), and I've discovered that for gals, an underhand blow (upward swinging cut) is easier for gals while it's harder for guys, and an overhand blow (downward swinging cut) is harder for gals, but conversely easier for guys. I did some research, and it turns out the physiology of it has to do with how the tendons connect to muscles & bones, and the subtle differences in how our joints fit together. So for guys who are swinging an axe, it is definitely harder to swing up into the tree from below, but ladies who are equally conditioned to the work will probably find it the better angle of attack for them.

    • @bavarianpotato
      @bavarianpotato Před 5 lety

      Probably not, hitting downwards will provide you with extra energy due to gravity.

    • @ladyofthemasque
      @ladyofthemasque Před 5 lety

      It's not about the extra energy due to gravity. It's about how the shoulder joint, the tendons, and the muscles are all put together. Please consider reading "The Armored Rose" by Tobi Beck, to understand the differences in physiology at play. @@bavarianpotato

      A saw and a axe are two different tools that wear differently. I'm no expert but personally I do the same. Bark is brittle and can make starting a straight cut hard. And it will save your saw.

    Thank you for the video! I was fortunate to take the Game of Logging course before and a technique they taught was to make the hinge cut to be about 90 degrees in total, 45 up from horizontal and 45 down. This let's your hinge function for the complete fall and not buck when the hinge breaks after falling half way down. Something I've always done since.

    A barber chair is when the trunk of the tree splits up the lenght of the tree.
    not when your holding wood brakes off.
    dangerous cause the trunk will donkey kick way up at you depending on the sevarity. it could split way up like 4 feet or more like ive wittnessed then brake off and fall down beside the stump. and hit you or your expencive saw.
    for those of you who learn by doing.
    take a 4 inch tree works best on ash.
    back cut it without a knotch
    about half way or a small bit more.
    grab the tree and pull it over and you will then under stand what a barber chair is.
    next you have to learn when to expect one out of a tree.

      A dutchman in woodfelling isn't a bad thing in itself, only if you didnt plan on doing it. It is a technique where you use the bit he explained as a hinge to perfectly aim the tree. The technique hes using does not benefit from having a dutchman, hence why he explained it as a negative thing.

    I am confused.....You don't remove the bark for every round that you buck for firewood do you?
    If not then how much wear on your blade are you really preventing when you just remove the bark for your felling cut?

    You have some very good insight and excellent points that you demonstrated in this video! I grew up in Northern Michigan and I've been cutting trees for firewood and clearing nearly all my life and I've known how to do it enough to not get hurt or have accidents, but I never really thought about using the axe handle to guide the saw blade and I never really thought about doing the "girdling" thing that you did. Great video!

    When i was like 10 I wanted to be a lumber jack so for 10 bucks I bought a small dull hatchet thinking it was big enough for the job so for about three days I choped and choped and it finally came down then I realised I needed to chop it into logs i put gas on the tree and burnt it all up

    excellent video again! thank you for sharing this knowledge i enjoy cutting my own firewood as well even though all i use is a power saw. With great videos like this i feel better about trying the old ways to harvest a tree that may not be leaning the perfect way. thank you for the safety part about the where the flat cut meets the angle. i have cut many trees and have never paid much attention to this part because well i didn't know. these videos are a real inspiration. God bless your family

    You're right about using "old" quiet tools being somehow more satisfying than powered noisemakers. I'm enjoying this series, thanks! Somewhere I have an old one man saw from my grandfather's contracting business. As I unpack my storage area in the barn I'll keep an eye out for it. I sure wish I'd been able to snag more of his equipment when dad broke up the business...

    how often do yall clean ur chimney? specially with you using pine or ceder for fire and heat.
    i has been told never use pine or ceder in fireplaces cause resin will build up and cause an chimney fire.

    • @michaeldougfir9807
      @michaeldougfir9807 Před 7 lety +3

      The answer is twofold. First is very thorough seasoning of the wood. The second part is annual chimney maintenence.
      Millions of people enjoy burning pine. But the trick is to do it right.

    Standard stump height through much of the Western US is one foot or less. Cody usually exceeds this when he "mushrooms" the stump.
    Hope you move your truck Cody. For all your good work, trees sometimes do not obey! "Timber!" is not a directional phrase.

    • @bwanamiti6208
