She should have shot the video from the porch, catching the look on the sawguy's face. Tape retrieval might be difficult though.

I guess it never dawned on him to see where all the weight was in the tree.
DUH
Wonder how much firewood he got out of it since their is now a gaping hole in the house and the extra heat will be needed.

Weight don't mater. You notch this side and back cut that side. Only one way it can go. LOL Hell it ain't rocket science. Hee Hee Hee,:greenchainsaw:
Sorry to disagree but thats not true.
It is amazing how ignorant people can be. This pic is a tree that a customer of mine was cutting while I was doing some stump grinding. He horribly screwed up cutting the notch and then instead of a back cut he bored in from the side, leaving no hinge and of course pinching the bar. When he finished cutting it loose with a bow saw it smashed his kids trampoline. This was one of several trees that he was cutting, all of which he ####ed up with varying degrees of severity. He's an engineer and teaches homeschool kids classes on simple machines, you'd think he'd know better.

Yup, I figured he was joking. I think he was just parroting one of the comments posted under the video. Someone there said " should have cut it on the other side so it would fall the other way". However, I don't think that the poster under the video was joking........... just clueless.

Do you get to count kindling as firewood? In this case, it's statistically significant

That is REALLY ugly!
I would expect a person of normal intelligence to be able do a better job just by reading the instruction manual that comes with most chainsaws. No, I don't think that makes anybody an expert, and I wouldn't want to see people felling trees based only on that, but still, just that much instruction should produce better results.
