Well you pretty much covered it so I had to be short and sweet.
I've bored in behind the hinge before to let the pull wood bend on the stump like that. I like the kerfs you can pop out idea. Sometimes I'll widen my pull corner just by hogging it out. When you need to release a tree from a strap for whatever reason I would think that would be the way to go to pull it around. Now you guys just need to come up with a shorter name for it! It's a mouthful.
Haha..Funny, we did shorten the name already man, its acually one third of the original....YEAH! we took out all the swear words and now it's shorter than "Soft Dutchman against the lean.
I missed you post BTW.
Yeah Yeah. .boring in behind the holding wood. Ok ..I will give you the whole story.
So the JHMT doesn't include boring behind the holding wood. So I run this by one of the BC Fallers QST's (Qualified Superior Trainer on a gas & Oil Seismic job (they Certify fallers) So we have to do these compantcy test before we can fall on the job. So this guy Ted was an interior faller for like 40 yrs and is just amazing guy to pick his brain about fibers as such.
So I knew it wasn't a reconized cut here so I ask him about it. He said if you bore behind(maybe he said in front) the holding wood and take a piece out of the front (West Coast Swanson) or open face ..err...you get the picture. And it will do 'the same' . So he must be saying in front of the holding wood? I can't see release until you move some 'front' or you get the same effect. Anyway he is bound to the book and offerd me lots in conversations.
I took Teds info and we will call this cut...Oh IDK?? Secure Johnny? Modified Johnny? Johnny on steroids?
IDK.. I'm open for ideas. as far as I know,
I put the combination together. Pedaling
off everybody else is back, Yeah that sounds like me..lol
More tomorrow on comment to your post
