Live Oak Removal - A Frame rigging and mostly cuts only... including my finger with a Zubat

This was my first video ever recorded and there is a lot of cursing. This was a frustrating tree, but I cut out most of the aggravation. I grabbed too high on my sheath of the zubat (hand saw) and pulled it through my index finger. 3 weeks later you can hardly see the scar.

Where’s the A-frame?

[@BoutTreeFitty]

Hello, and thanks for watching! A-Frame rigging when it comes to removing tree limbs is when you have multiple tie in points on the limb that come back to a single point, which is the ball of the crane. The ropes go out and make the shape of an A. This is done in instances where you can not tie a limb only one time and let it hinge because it would hit something underneath. In this video, it would be the house or the shed. The pieces must be cut, remain stationary (best we can), and hoisted without dropping down after being cut.

@@BoutTreeFitty Gotcha. We always called that spider-leg or multi-point rigging. I never heard it referred to as A-frame rigging.

@@small-town-southern-man3573 I just heard the spider leg thing a few months ago. We call that setup "Doinks". We use it to "doink" limbs from a tree one limb at a time, then lower the whole set to the ground to be untied, and then go at it again. Any which way, I am just getting started with the videos and plan to put out all kinds of cool stuff. Please subscribe, and if you start making some videos I will subscribe to yours also. Thanks!
