    I watched your video today and went outside to cut down a tree next to my house. I never heard of the idea of a hinge and where to place it. Tree fell exactly where I wanted it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

    "I cheat, I have a felling line on my saw" sir that's called working smarter and harder.
    This video was very very detailed and very informative and is proof of why good arborists cost what they do and why they are worth every penny. Great job.

    This is the best video for felling trees I've seen. I felled a 30 footer right next to my house with great success but it probably took me three times as long as a pro. Usually I only fell dead gum trees in Australia for firewood. Up to forty to fifty feet high but always in bushland away from buildings. I always look up and check for branches and have a good escape route. And I never fell trees thicker than say, twelve to fourteen inches. Leave the big trees for the pros. Dead gum trees that are very dry, can also suddenly fall down when cutting for a hinge, so sometimes I just cut the 45 degree cut at the front and then do the back cut. They fall very easily.

    Nice to see someone who not only knows which techniques to use when but why they work. This video had a couple of techniques I hadn't seen before, such as the "logger's glue" and the "palm tree" cut. Boring through the hinge to make room for a wedge was a good tip too.

    I just had a swag of trees removed from around my house, hollow, rotten, dodgy things. I had a professional in to do it, but I probably would for anything that could hit the house. I am quite happy to drop my own trees as needed further away from the house.

    The palm tree cut I like because if your felling in the woods and the tops get hung up you can cut the hinge on the hung up side to help it roll off the other tree but still stay partially hooked to the stump

When one dies, the other trees hold them up. Thanks again from north west Wis..

    Really nice to see professional, knowledgeable people making safe and thoughtful videos. You know the right ways for sure. Tell your help to remember to look up when banging away on a wedge. I sure it was ok for that tree, but it won't always be that safe. You need to watch the crown for a number of reasons, but you know that I am sure. Like you said, it takes time for the tree to catch up.. ..Anyways, great vid.

I have lots of heavy learners and dead trees that are hung up on other trees. Barber chairs and hollow cores are some of my biggest challenges as I try to reclaim our forest behind our house.

  • @jackpalczynski7884
    @jackpalczynski7884 Před rokem

    You're way more confident than me! Just wedges. Wow. I've built an air fired line shooter and put a line way up first without climbing, pull up a heavy rope, then with a pully to pull in the direction I want but not towards my winch, I'll winch in to tension the top a little. Then face cut 45 degrees under, with the straight on top. Then tighten the winch. Back cut. Have my helper winching in and I leave a very thick hinge and let the winch pull it over. For me, I'm not experienced enough to know exactly where the tree's going with just cutting and wedges. That line is real easy to predict where the tree's going. I'm no pro, so spending an hour on setup for the winch isn't a problem. I practice on leaners in the woods so no matter where the tree goes, it's not going to cause some massive issue.

  • @thebluelunarmonkey
    @thebluelunarmonkey Před rokem +1

    Nice work and instruction. I did logging on college breaks at my cousin's logging company in the 80s but we used a harvester in most cases to fell trees. Like said in the video have your escape route clear and you run faster and safer when you drop your saw. *I'd still call a pro to fell trees near buildings.* Don't be that guy who has to pay out of pocket for roof and structural damage to his house. HO made a good call getting you to down the trees tho not sure if he was prepared for the amount of non-firewood waste he had to haul off or chip with a home-owner sized chipper.
