Was that a Dutchman or were you cleaning up the face? I'm thinking no, unless there was something more important than that fence on the other side that we couldn't see.

Looked like cleaning the face up

Mostly cleaning the face up. I missed the far corner just a little. I stayed on the stump longer chasing the hinge to limit fiber pull.

That implies you think this one was big:jester: don't listen to that doobie, I've seen three of your falling vids and you look like a faller in all of 'em, but it might be the tin lid:msp_biggrin:

This is a little harsh:beat_brick:

Mike made a good looking stump ,lot nicer than most i see in clear cuts around here ,and tree went where he wanted ,mission accomplished

 

[treeslayer2003]

Dooby, I apologize. No harshness was intended towards either you or mike. Just remember, if I'm talking, there's a decent chance I'm kidding around. Looked like pro work to me, as have his other vids.

Well the power lines were about 6' to the right of that tree also. The house was 30' to the left. All 4 hit within 2' of where I wanted.

I wish I had the video of the other poplar. It was taller and made a good thud when it hit. It was 57' to the fork in it.

Thanks for the kind words. I guess that's not too bad for a welder and firewood hack

Just to lighten the mood I found a pre-AS stump in the woods and took a picture. In the background you can also see some of my prize concrete work

I've got 2 of those in the lot behind us. The neighbors cut 2 dead poplars with the slopping back cut while they had them hooked to a truck. I was at work and the wife watched to see if they were going to kill themselves.

Even better considering the pressure. Power lines and houses are off limits for me. I get nervous about fences

I'll try to out and get a picture from the front looking towards the house. They were all well within reach of the house.

Ya, bridge is 5 yrs old and has had no problems, even had a bogie skidder across it a few times. The triple culvert pyramid just fit the shape of the creek really well and was the easiest way to raise the level of the bridge. My cousin works commercial concrete just down the road in Houston, and loves to bust my chops when he sees that ugly ass bridge, but he was noticeably absent when I was moving 1.3 yds of concrete by hand in the woods! Rebar is kinda like a wedge. It can yelp you out of an ugly situation when used properly:msp_biggrin:
