Cuttin' trees down, the small one are the problem

How in the name of Maple Syrup did that old Humber survive all these years? The mice didn't get it, the salt didn't get it, hell just being old and British didn't get it. There it sits, happy as a frog on a lilypad, ready to go to work. Nice job on the tree today, Bill. Cheers.

I’ve been falling trees for about 4 years now. I still come here daily to learn from the great Buckin’! That’s such a good idea. I’m going to go modify one of my wedges right now 😂 god bless everyone!

Wooden wedge ?

Falling or felling?😉

gotta be on the ball at all times and be able to adapt - cutting for 6 years been watching your videos since the early days. Now climbing & felling for myself making videos along the way! thanks bucking for all the advice and tips - the cut off wedge is something I will be utilising.

My dad's like the guy, always finds interesting vehicles and keeps them around. Some run, some are just neat.

[@matthewb8229]

When I was a kid, my job was to limb the trees dad cut down for firewood. Big Lodge Pole Pine. The tree would hit the ground, get settled, and off I'd go. Many weekends spent doing that. He's passed, and I have that axe and his McCulloch 610 now. Lots of hate out there for the 610 (underpowered, too heavy, etc.) but I love that saw.

Buckin, I watch how you cut. Intensely. The notch, the crown, holding wood, the hinge, the plates. Not cut up. I fell trees myself. Why because, God gives us skill to help people. My chainsaw addiction is like yours. Seriously, dedicated to healing. Cutting wood the hard work. Helps heal my sole and puts smiles on many faces. Much love brother.

[@davedaly5795]

I'm 59 ,and certainly no lumberjack . Thanks for the teachings on Chainsaw use. I have a lot of land that needs to be cleaned up .trees over roads and such I can do it with confidence and safety because of the years watching your channel.

[@FireStartersPremiumFirewood]

Funny, I was literally just explaining to my 19 year old son yesterday why the small trees can be a problem when they are leaning the wrong way and how you can end up with no room for your bar and wedge. The wedging trick was new to me though, I will be modifying one of my wedges in short order. Thanks Billy Ray! 🤩

Nice video I love that I'm gonna go and do one of my wedges right now.

[@timbanwell1756]

I had always thought they ended up that shape because they were nicked with the saw

That was a textbook lesson on small trees with some risk where it goes. The tapered wedge is a good one to have in the pouch. Thanks.

[@douglasroseveare7295]

Funny thing is I actually have a wedge like that but it was because I hit it with the chain and just kept it. Works great. Your video about cutting a leaning tree was a huge help for me. I never thought about cutting the top wood on the back cut 1st to get it to lean into itself like you do. I was always fighting it and now I have used your technique on a bunch of trees and it works amazing. Thanks man.

[@JoelWiggins-p9x]

Your right there all different every time hey I used your dowel idea for axe handle repair to install a handle on a bow im building couldn’t figure out how I was going to do it and I saw that video it should work thanks again be safe man .

Thanks for showing this buckin. I only really cut on my own property but most of my trees are between 10-20 inches in diameter. That being said most are between 80 and 100 ft tall. I have plenty of sketchy situations where there’s no room to control them with confidence. Nice work with the wedge mod!! I’m going to trim a couple of mine just like you did there

[@19Kamau79]

I did the same as helped my mom to clear two residental plots during this winter. Smallest side leaner I wedged just 9,5inch blue spruce close to house, thought l wasn't in hurry as I didn't work for salary just built up firewood store 😊

[@Timberjack.loggers]

ill be honest i love the videos you make and the care you take when cutting most people dont understand one thing about trees most times the big ones arent the dangerous ones because you have room for good heavy hinge and wedges and all but the small ones are killers most that die in the woods are more often because small trees they dont take them as a big threat because its just a small tree and they make sloppy cuts and boom they have a tree on their head small trees are more dangerous

Not a feller by trade . But talk about a punky tree that would make me nervous . In general what i have learned is ( FELLING CUT ) In general i would use a under cut 9 out out of 10 times , over cut only if i have to. Over cut may not sit over the way you want it to , i have had that happen to many times Good video.

There's no situation that's exactly alike, so every tree that you fell is another experience. Like you said take your time, look up, look around, listen you know what to is essentially going to happen, but sometimes one inconceivable minor detail can change the sequence of things and that's where you make decisions about your situation fast.

Buckin' makes those cut up wedges intentionally as part of a well thought out plan. I make those accidentally by snagging the corner of the wedge with my chain on full squirt. We are not the same. 🧐

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

[@briananonymous724]

Question: Why not make your face cut, bore cut (horizontal) towards the back of the tree at the center of your hinge, pop a wedge in from behind, then cut both sides away from the wedge (cut to the side of the wedge) leaving the remaining hinge? You pound the wedge in as necessary and the back of the tree is never unsupported. And once you've cut the to the wedge, you can double up on wedges on either side of the first wedge. Does that make sense??

[@crazyfarmer2564]

Done that accidentally years ago . But I cut it with the saw and use that wedge a lot now. Lol
