I always enjoy videos like that, a guy using a machine you expect to work on huge stuff and using finesse to work to an accuracy of inches. Another kind of video is of a totally automated assembly line in a factory.
Actually, as we were taught in forestry/logging, the upward cut gives more control of the fall, so the trunk slides down the angle, rather than drops flat. Helps a lot with backwards leaners.
Can you imagine, back in the day, how long and how many guys it would take to perform that five-minute drill?

ReplyDeleteI was totally expecting to see him start making a log cabin right there with that machine, notching the logs into each other and everything.
ReplyDeleteWhen your machine is rated for 16" pine and you find a 24" hardwood, it's either this method or grab the Husky XP.
ReplyDeleteIgnore that and you'll be fixing your boom, especially a burst hose from that much more weight cutting the conventional way.
I didn't understand why he was finessing the cuts until I read your explanation.

Didn’t know you were filming me Irish, now I’m embarrassed
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Loggers generally make the second cut of the pie from the bottom up as not to waste that foot or so of the log.

DeleteIs there room for one of those on the floor of the House of "Representatives?"
