    Good morning Reg, Thankyou so much for doing another Stella video.. It must be a pain to video when all you want to do is concentrate and crack out the job.. But I really appreciate your time and energy into providing these... Over the years I learnt SO much for you which I've implemented into my Arb life. Thanks again and hope you have a great day.

    8:18. I would like to talk to someone that knows for sure the proper angle for the face, depending on the elevation, length of log, etc, to figure out the way to land flat. Obviously you know, but I’m still guessing. Most are good, but I’ve planted a few, to my shame!😆🌿🌸Great stuff!

    • @peelnation
      @peelnation Před 3 měsíci +2

      Assuming it's vertical. The piece you're cutting should be 1/5 of the stem. Deep conventional 45 degree notch a little more than halfway should make it flip and land flat. August gets them flat more by 'feel' and giving a little push upward on the butt as it leaves to get a rotation

      @neild7971 Před 3 měsíci

      A lot of it is that one fifth ratio if you are free to choose length of logs. From higher in the tree and on smaller wood you can effect the spin a surprising amount by a tap with your hand. Less than 1/5 could use a down slap to the butt to slow the spin, longer pieces a hand under(but not in the undercut!)allowing the tip to get ahead on the rotation.
