Well I cut down the dead oak thing and made a video. Whoever said it was impossible to screw up a back cut will have video evidence this is not the case. I am not comfortable with a bar much shorter than the tree is wide and it showed

It was so hot my phone actually said "its too ####ing hot out here" or something like that and shut down

I fell that tree with the stump a little high on purpose so I could try woodchuck's tip about practicing face cuts on a high stump. Wound up making my first really good humboldt

I was thinking about joining Dooby on the ferry to Alaska. I was planning on being a groundie for the Tramp, but I changed my mind, there are many easier ways to make a living than with a saw. Much respect for y'all

Hey guys

 

[treeslayer2003]

jon, ya looked really nervous. that will cause mistakes, try to be more calm. ya didn't do to bad, worst thing was the weird gap back cut. don't do that no more, commit to what ya doin less it really bad. you been better off stickin with your original cut line on the back. dead tree made ya nervous didn't it?

 

[HuskStihl]

Anybody ever tell ya your to nice?


Only sarcastically:msp_biggrin:



Keep thinking about starting another band, but then I keep thinking about all the BS that happened to make the last one implode.

I accidentally butt dialed the rhythm guitarist in my last band. I quit six months ago 'cause I was old and tired. The boys were pretty pissed at the time, but he seems cool with me now. I'll probably get back in to music in a few more years. I'm done with originals. I can't write songs, and Houston sucks for anything other than metal or country

 

[treeslayer2003]

hey busted

 

[bustedup]

Jon don't walk in front of snags please esp when ya gun in .......those sob's can go at any time.......if ya gonna fall snags then until ya get the humbolt nailed use the conventional face ......not being rude bro juss thinking of ya safety

Joinin' me to go to Alaska might take a little more patience... But by next spring you should have all this down:hmm3grin2orange: Husk- no seriously, that is a good way to practice, like you did. Good on ya for being willin' to practice... and more important is the not being afraid to post it here. For me the back cut match was natural kinda like not lookin' at that full cup coffee while yer walkin'. I make my face usually dogged in by my lead knee and then walk-it threw for the other side. The back cut is placed in one fluid motion like Bitzer does in his videos. he and I cut very much the same(less the hardwood stuff he has to do). I like a 30" bar here in Montuky for an all-around bar. but am runnin 28" and 32" right now. You can fall alot of wood w/ a 32" bar . gettin' used to the bar length thingy will come w/ practice. How many hrs. of sawing do you get in during an avg month. Any way-GOOD JOB !!! and thanks for sharin'
