Compare Dent's book with Ard & Bolin's

[John Bearley]

I have Douglas Dent's "Professional Timber Falling" (Avalable from Bailey's) and am Thinking about getting Tim Ard's "A Complete Guide to Chain Saw Safety and Directional Felling"
http://www.forestapps.com/e-book/index.html

How do they compare?

John,


They are both excellent books I do have both,Dents book has alot of excellent info on hinges,notches,etc..but Tim's e-book has to do with the more modern types like open-face cutting,bore cutting,tree measurment,wedging etc..I highly suggest you acquire them both,you wont be sorry.

Just received Tim Ard's e-book. It is definitely worth getting. I particularly like the video clips.

I agree it was money well spent..

Since you are in the New England area I highly suggest you contact the Northesatern Loggers Association,it cost $18 a year to become a individual member you get a subscription to the Northern Logger,plus a ton of other things.They have a very large video lending library which is a excellent source from logging / felling / equipment operation / forestry / sawmilling etc..

Later Rob.

i tried to order Tim Ard's disk online a few times, figured it sounded like a good enough deal.

Was wondering how y'all felt about it now, how it compared to Dent's bible on felling etc.

Specifically, about hinging with offside lean....

Thanx,
