Here is a diagram i made a while back in MSPaint for triangulating a fall or topping with 'Stick Trick' and why it works. i know it has come up a few times, and we use it a lot on removals.
It plots the fall from the cut to the top, when the top of rake lines up with the top of the tree, and your hand points at the hinge, you should be standing where the top will hit, purtty darned accurate! This shows 1 of the 3 dimensions that the machine of the hinge controls. By raising the hinge, we shorten the fall.
As a .bmp file it was too big @ 901kb limit here is 100kb i believe.
i saved it as a .jpg and it was still 117 kb., i tried selecting it, right clicking it in MSPaint, to reduce it but the print readability fell. So i saved it as .gif today, and it kame out @ 24kb! a lil rough in Microsoft Photo Editor (that my .gif extensions are set to open as), but was clear when i opened through MSPaint.
i am removing this pic. for even replacing it doesn't let it werk, yet 2 posts down the same pic werks!!!!!!!????????
