You get special consideration because you're a Forester. It's kinda like being extra nice to the kids on the short bus.

Ironically, I've been outside welding up a jib for a forklift. Weird.
I had to look it up, and did not understand the explanation because I only went to discount college. What I did understand was this:
Dum De Dum De Dum De Dum
Repeat. You can dum de dum for longer stanzas too.
I liked the Randymac poem. The choices are slim when it comes to rhyming with the name Gologit? :msp_biggrin:
Kind of like Chuck in the Bananafanna song.

It didn't go where you wanted it to? Well no ####, what where you expecting with a face like that?

is that some kinda borecut?Here are a few pics of a nasty sycamore that i cut today. It was around 40" on the stump. It didn't go where I wanted it to.....missed it by a little bit but it is on the ground and nobody was hurt. One is my buddy Gary walking across it like it was a bridge:msp_scared: It is a chitty looking stump but.....I am safe. I received a Lama .45 cal for dropping itSteve
Much.

Next time try a Humboldt face cut. The butt will slide off the stump better. You kinda left yourself a bear trap there.
You might want to use bigger wedges, too.
Glad nobody got hurt.

Looking at the shapes of things, I'm guessing it was a matter of too little bar. It looks like it took two cuts for the face, and another two for the back. Nothing wrong with that, really, it's just a situation to be careful about.

The tree was a real problem. I couldn't hardly get to the face because of the 6 ft drop off into the creek. there were no foot holds anywhere and I was scared the rootball would rip out when the tree started tipping. I took the pics off so I didn't have to listen to the 056 jack rod comments
. I agree the stump looks like **** but everything went ok and no one got hurt. Steve

If you just saw a bit of a snip on the lower cut, the trunk will leave the stump and be pushed forward.

I will have to try that trick next time. I usually don't get too many 40" trees over this way:msp_thumbdn:Steve

Undercuts were not just about direction. You can control how the tree falls and what it does when it leaves the stump.
