Here's an 064 taking care of some leaning Alder. I hate leaning Alders...
YouTube - Sawrs‏
Took two tries to fire her up. Also a mac 125 on the second part and an echo. At 1.27 I am back at it after checking how the cuts match on the other side and poppin out the wedge(it's all surrounded by black berry brambles). I used a humbolt and a bore cut to drop it accross the creek. Alders like to dance, so I ran off the moment I knew she was going. I got my new chaps and helmet in now, so I will be looking all goofy again in vids from here on out. Camera is at a bit of an angle, but you get the gist. That alder had maybe a 30* lean. I only got within an inch and a half to the bore when it decided to go. I like to do the back cut below the bore so the saw doesn't get stuck if she goes early. I honestly think that time it woulda grabbed the saw if I had done one of those angled downwards back cuts I see some guys teach here and abroad. Directly in front of the alder is about a 4' drop onto a creek bed.
Speaking of which, you UK guys, I was gonna spend a month or so in Ireland and the UK and was looking at getting myself NPCT certified with a chainsaw. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Feel free to PM me.
Cheers
