cuttinties,
Post #61 ..............
Whats the difference between the "swing jump cut" video (and by the way ..... what is "swinging" ?) and the "hillside jump cut" video ?
I cant see a single difference, except which way the tree fell, of which he had absolutely NO controll over.
Going by dumb luck and praying for no wind as you dont look up while making a flat cut at the base - on 2 different trees, then calling it 2 different "techniques" is just playing monday morning quarterback. Look in the background of his videos, the other trees that are on the ground are in NO WAY oriented for the skidder to grab easily. A guided felling cut with a hinge and he could have lined them up for a few multi-grabs in one run.
NOPE ............ lets video a dangerous practice, post up an assenine way of sharpening a chain, and tell everyone else how you are the one doing it right and how tough you are by inviting anyone who disagrees with you to be a baker in a bakery.
I havent agreed with Philbert on everything, IIRC it was on one subject of heating up cutters, but he has hit the nail on the head here, as have Randymac and Gologit ......................We used to use asbestos to insulate, do we still do it now ??
No we dont, due to its inherantly dangerous reprecussions ................
This guys "techinques" and explanations are just wrong, wrong, wrong
I expect a long worded reply, no doubt..............but please include a detailed description of the difference between the 2 different videos and what he did differently so I can fully understand the "swing jump cut" and the "hillside jump cut" .............. then I will eat whatever humble pie you put in the rest of your answer
