Hi Sven. Ive had a couple short, abrupt wedges spit out in he past, so now I use slow tapered, sometimes with the tips cut off so they dont hit the hinge too soon. On these dead tops (60ft) I just wanted minimal, simple cuts, so less likely to make a mistake. I have a whole 2nd part compilation from this job but need to find time to edit.

Oh and, do you find it hard to climb trees like these with your humongous set of Balls? In all seriousness, spectacular work!

@Recoates
5 жыл бұрын
Hi Steve. BC is a big place....many times more than the whole of France. So it depends on where you are and the type of work you get involved with. People recognize good skills attitude wherever you are, same as they will generally recognize when someone is full of bullshit. I wouldn't say the job is taken any more or less seriously here than in the UK, but there is more opportunity and less red tape at the moment. A big eye opener for me was how sales-driven the companys seemed to be, compared to other countries Ive worked in. I don't really like that and will not conform to that behavior. But it does seem to be a big part of Canadian culture. As a result there appears to be a constant, undertone of skepticism and distrust towards contractors. I think I get lots of jobs because Im very much upfront about things.

That first top was really stubborn. All branches were on the felling side, and it still didn't want to go without some persuasion with the wedge... I know they are dead branches, but they still had to have some mass in them... Stubborn tree... Would it be practical to fell those tops if they were healthy, the same way you would fell a tree on the ground? By that I mean using a boring cut through the center of the notch (not a deep cut), so there is only hinge-wood left on the sides? I've found out that the center of the hingewood doesn't make much difference in directional felling, only the sides do, but it does provide more resistance for a tree to start tilting to the felling direction. I use that technique in directional felling most of the time (cutting through center of hinge-wood and leaving a little more meat on the sides), and it does seem to be effective...
@Recoates
4 жыл бұрын
They would've tipped a lot easier if they were live. You could bore cut them out of preference, but it wouldn't be necessary so much. Cedar is generally quite easy to work with, just a little stubborn when it's dead. Its critical to resist the temptation or pressure to cut anymore....especially when working way up like that with nowhere to escape or take cover.

Having the 2 stems right next to each other sort of put me on my weaker side where the power head impedes my view of the bar. 2 different saws also, 550 with 20 inch bar, 372 with 32 inch bar. I did deliberately cut a narrow Humboldt in that single top, because I wanted it off the stump fast. The previous to was a wider cut because I wanted them to hold a second longer.
