This big spruce was already felled for me, just had to surgically remove it from the root ball

Yes it certainly has. All things considered, I'm pretty happy. Thank you for the well wishes, & same regards to you!

I didn't try hard enough in resurrecting 056 kid, so now there's 056kid. Thought about 056man, but it felt ill-suited.
Here's a screenshot of a rather short white pine from one of two falling videos I've ever made. The filter I used made the ****** phone footage even shittier. Wish I had captured more video but never took the time. Don't remember what the story was that day other than there wasn't much to do, hence the video production & my lack of gear. Felt compelled to do something since I can't sleep

Why the half hinge?

Why the half hinge?

Swing cut. You can see it in the video. Soft
Dutchman relief cuts took out most the hinge before the back cut was even executed. That snag actually had a little back lean to it. However, it was very dry and light, but with STIHL very sound and tough holding wood. Limb weight helped carry it around a little bit, but the dutchmans pretty much did all the work as far as getting it to commit. No wedges needed.

Keep your head up!

Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!

Cleaning up the maple from a hydro trimming. Rough, rocky ground. Could only get the Big Diesel in there.

I like the photos and vids of those using big saws for big work.
Very Very nice stuff.

Just falling some junk fenceline wood with the ol' flat top 066.


Sure wish this was nice oak instead of crappy cottonwood. This stuff will rot from the inside out if not cut and split soon after cutting it down.
