[@duubtuub3071]

4:35 "So we were in tension on the top, right?" I don't think so. Rather, it appears that the log was being cut in an area that was supported between two points, causing it to be in compression--meaning the forces were going to tend to close the cut the deeper it went. Had the top really been in tension, stretching fibers, the cut would have tended to open--fibers pulling away from each other as they were freed--as the cut deepened. If the log was in fact suspended between two supports, the top would be in compression and the bottom in tension before cutting. A notch cut on top would tend to close as the log sagged toward the ground, and a release cut up from the bottom would tend to open. Similar to the forces in felling the tree in the first place. Of course it is easy to mis-guess where compression and tension are in situations where multiple forces are present because it cannot always be determined beforehand which ones dominate. Happy to see a son learning respect, on so many levels. Thank you.

[@kennethrhodes4056]

This is the correct answer.

[@mathewmatters4212]

You couldn’t be more correct! The necessity for the under cut solely proves your point. 👌

[@nathanwalters5314]

You are correct sir. I am a stress analyst by training and spent many years in the profession. Top in compression , bottom in tension.

[@unclemonty9506]

I'm a noob but surely the reason the cut closed is because the end of the tree touched the ground and so went from tension to compression. A simple notch on top to begin with and then a step cut from underneath would have been best

Thank you for posting this. I am just a infrequent home user of chainsaws and same with my older family members who I learned from only by watching. My techniques may be inexperienced but one thing I always try to do is treat a chainsaw with respect, like a firearm, and realize it can shred me up instantly if I am to careless in operations. I try to stop anytime I start getting tired as that's when I might get lazy, or slip on something and injure myself.

Is it tension or compression? Compression. Is it? Come look from this side. So what is it? Guess it's tension then. Bar jams What got ya? Compression. Like i said the first time!!!

[@bjorndunderbeck]

Only time you get one without the other is when theyre still standing.

[@marcmoberg]

He was correct. The top side was tension, the bottom was compression. You can’t have one without the other. You are acting on one force at a time. I personally would have cut 20-30% of the tension side first then switched to finish on the compression side. However, there are many methods, and none of them are wrong as long as the saw isn’t damaged, and the log is cut to the correct length.

[@desertfresh3740]

@@marcmoberg Right, but the top of the log squeezed together, closing up his cut. Compression.

[@marcmoberg]

Desert Fresh if you look closely at 4:12, the log rises overall during the cut, that is tension. If you look when he makes the final cut at 7:33, one side rises and one side falls. It was under tension to start, but when he made the cut, the result was still a falling log. Tension was correct.

[@marcmoberg]

Desert Fresh the reason it pinched is because the one side rolled a bit, and his cut wasn’t straight, so it closed up the gap. A peavy would have been useful to unpinch the saw.

[@africanelectron751]

Hope you read this mr Wrangler, a few years back my dad purchased a chainsaw a small stihl (absolutely amazing quality). The trouble was neither of us had the slightest clue how to use it and there was no one to help, your videos among others were instrumental in us clearing some trees and not hurting our selves in the process. Ever since I used that chain saw I have had a great love of the activity hard to imagine that cutting up some trees can bring the same joy as riding a motorcycle for example. If ever I had the opportunity to move to the states and work in your kind of environment I would jump at it.
