Rookie falling trees and 6x6 posts for my sawmill shed

[@mikewatson4644]

Good job. I am not a professional but I have cut down a lot of trees. (Also stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night, LOL). I prefer the Humboldt wedge cut as I feel that it is easier on the tree as it falls. But it is a little harder to make the wedge cuts. Never turn you back on a tree. If you can't see it, you don't know where it is falling. When making the final cut, look up at the top of the tree. You will see it start to move much sooner by looking up than by watching the saw. When the tree starts to fall, leave along the path that you picked out and cleared before you started the cut. Stay safe, the tree can bite you hard. Thanks for the video. Good luck with felling trees. Looking forward to the saw mill shed build.

Not a professional logger here, but I also have dropped a lot of trees on wild land fires, trail maintenance, and firewood harvesting. After you make any cut on a tree, please do not walk in the fall line! Either front or back and especially without keeping an eye on the tree! As for wanting to fall the tree uphill rather than where it wants to go; a wedge will do a lot more coaxing than you might think. One last comment, please do not lean your body off balance against a tree that you have started to cut, to easy to fall if tree suddenly moves. Thank you, stay safe, Dave

Good job I’ve been watching you I have the same mill at 85yrs. It doesn’t take much to tire me out, the fun ends when I have to sticker and stack what I’ve cut and put everything away 😟

It's cool to see the process, tree -> lumber. Looking forward to seeing you build the sawmill shed.

Great job ! It'll be nice to look around your sawmill shed and know exactly where all the material came from. Watching for more progress...keep the videos coming.

If you’re the lest bit intimidated by cutting tree’s. Watch the utube videos by good fellers. On how to bore cut and spur cut trees. Great video and good content.

😅Nathan from out of the woods uses diesel in a spray bottle to keep the blade clean from pine pitch.

[@mylifedeliberately]

Is he using a Woodland Mills sawmill? I have heard, but not confirmed, that diesel is bad for the belts in the Woodland Mills. Thanks for watching!
