"Saw for Hire" I just saw this is starting at 9:00 ET on TLC.

Looks like a tree cutting crew TV special.
 
Oh God not this guy, a video was posted a while back of this guy. He was operating the crane and had way to much tension on the pick when the cut was made. The pick jumped tipping and shaking the crane and he tried to put the blame on the climber. TV is killing our industry...or maybe saving it by getting osha involved with crappy companies?
 
Just watched bout 5 minutes. Seems like a bunc of prissy chickens running around with their heads cut off. Im no tree expert...but still, i know silly when i see it. But its the same as ice road truckers, and that stupid wrecked show too. Its so overly dramatic. If anybody wants to discuss how silly wrecked is, we can do that!
 
I don't want to pretend that I know about tree removal in that circumstance. Im not a professional, but wouldn't it be more advisable to cut a smaller piece rather then rely that heavily on the crane?

The foreman said that everyone was running away and yelling "get back" and he didn't react, he commanded and stayed calm in the situation...lol. They replayed the crane incident shortly after that and he was really the only one freaking and yelling...lol.
 
The idiot tried to take the biggest part of the crown out in one cut...he got what he asked for...
 
pretty bad, even the GF laughed and said y didn't they limb it before. that guy with the gote is very lucky he didn't get squashed. the show has potential but they are all the same, a foreman trying to look important with his rented mercedes. nice beginning starting the saw with the brake on too.
i'm no expert by any means and i saw alot of mistakes.
 
Anyone remember the white car getting crushed, that I had in my sig for a while?
