Don't just Tap them Wedges, Bang em'!

[@jasonmichaeljimenez]

Thought Uncle Phil was going to snort a line of saw dust off the wedge. That wedging was art.

[@chaswarren7239]

a two minute tutorial in wedging & why you don't hesitate to leave the stump. Perfect !

[@woos31]

Uncle Phil, yer just s'posed to tell everyone to slam their hand in the crummy door before they go to their strip, be no tappin of wedges goin on if they's pissed off 🤣, released a loaded viney, or waffle stomp a bald hornet's nest so they go straight up the stagged pants..............ya know all the fun parts of shade reduction

I looked for a "see translation" link at the end of your comment, then realized it was all actually english

[@user-kb3js7tv5z]

What a nice scaler that is!! Wish they grew down here like that! Two long logs before they grow a limb! Guy can single jack and make decent $$ for the day!!

I have been cutting Stave Oaks for Whiskey bbls here in So Mo, we are only cutting white oaks over 24" and they usually yield at least 35 to 45 ft before the first branch. It's an awesome stand.

[@johnallan863]

Must be the wife that showed him that trick 😉

[@DUCKDONKEY]

The sound is awesome! Powerful and accurate hits. 👍

[@SwiftyMcVeigh851]

I learned something new today...Thanks.

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

See the rebound on that log when it laid out ! That is a heavy piece of bouncing man killer right there now. Looks like it laid out right where you gunned it ! Nice Job .

[@mdube391]

Quick strikes that project though ❤

[@integr8er66]

I agree, but I prefer a heavier hammer, I use a splitting maul.

[@Bizarreparade]

Loved that trick!

[@user-cl7jw7td5q]

Nice

[@0oghi]

Never seen the stacked wedges before. That's cool

[@semiproactive9625]

Perfecto.

[@WAHLS_arbor]

Haha I like it man!

[@willh6650]

Dude got gassed out at 45 second mark 😂 just a little more stamina and he could’ve finished. Played it off with the sawdust trick lol😅

[@TestSubject14]

Why would he keep striking at the 45 second mark? At that point one wedge is like one hit from flush into the tree, and the other wedge is the same size, if he hit it nothing would have happened and it would have buried just as deep as the other one.

[@Alexhulk]

Nice axe

[@jk3dad]

Nice hinge, didn't pull much wood 👍

[@ahchbrabyn2830]

Salting the wedges I would put that down to ✌😆

[@longbar185d2]

Nice 👍

[@davidwyby]

Council FE6…East Coast Lumberjack here on YT makes real nice handles…

[@timberfallingcouple]

That is exactly what that axe is. Fortunately I'm not as hard on handles as ai once was, and I only go through about one per year when it gets rotten, and I can get away with Cheap old Tennessee Hickory or even ash if I can find them

[@davidwyby]

@@timberfallingcouple Tenn hick, from Madsen’s. Probably best value out there.

[@saltrock9642]

Wedges are great for minor setbacks.

[@doesstuffoutside]

But why the sawdust between the stacked wedges?

[@user-kb3js7tv5z]

So they don’t slide apart . It keeps them together while you’re pounding on em!! Old trick!

[@doesstuffoutside]

@@user-kb3js7tv5z Thanks!

[@woos31]

Like sand on slick roads, they stay stacked instead of fannin out and lettin the ol beech set back whilst you waste energy

[@DeadWoodLogging6996]

Cool trick with the sawdust 👍

[@skydiverclassc2031]

A fellow could make some real money if he invented a self-tapping wedge...

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

We stopped at our local saw shop to pick up a new case for my Son's old 390 that he ordered and while there the owner of the shop brought out and sent with us one of those new mechanical wedges with the screw shaft in the middle that you run in and out with a little re-chargeable 1/2" impact to try out for a couple of weeks as a favor to him to see if they would stand up and if they were worth the money....we have Ponderosa and Spruce here and while it has its advantages on the biggest Ponderosa/Spruce in our area it took some getting used to but so far it seems to be doing ok.... we've had to bail it out a only a couple of times with normal wedging on the biggest trees (36" give or take on the stump) but not because of a mechanical issue...so I could see where in younger growth stands of timber where nothing is bigger around than a 5 gallon bucket on the stump they could be very handy but you still gotta carry an axe and regular wedges cause if your re-chargeable impact dies on you ......your stuck ! So for me anyway they might work good but it's more tools you have to pack around with you and God knows we already have enough.

[@ScottCole-sb8fy]

That was cool ! Falling a tree takes skill.
