Good Job man.
Nice to see someone with the same initiative like myself.
Never felled many trees and bought my place in the woods with lots to learn and lots of felling to accomplish.
Hell, we even have similar careers.
I also bought an electric splitter and just love it.
It's 5 ton and goes through just about every round I feed it. They're well worth it for the average homeowner with a treed lot.
Good luck on the future cutting and stay safe.

I wouldn't let them put air in my tire.

Give the guy some credit. Talk about "walking in moccasins"-- huh. :bang:

He looked at the risks. Knew what had to be done to minimize the risks. Learned from available sources the necessary techniques.
THEN ( for all you self promoted "pros" :bang went and did the deed (s).
We need more who take initiative, learn, and have the cojones to do it. That's what makes life work.

How many times have we ( not certainly the righteous who talk about being born with skills for what they do :taped: ) come close to buying the farm through ignorance ( winter climbs) , knowing risk-taking ( rocks, jumps ), or the plain need to do the deed ? Make mistakes, learn. Damn, every day all drive: the highest death risk per hour than any other routine task. Oh yeah: the too many boasting here about not using PPE. Ignorant risk ?

Hats off to you boy.
