Thank you for a nice and clear teaching without a 1000 useless words.

Very clever technique. The most important thing is not to cut into the top 2-3 inches when you put the saw into the cut for the second time. All the compression comes onto those few inches at the top, allowing you to cut through the tension side freely. Thanks.
@markchoate902125 күн бұрын
I was dubious of this when I heard your first description, but when watching, I now understand that you are letting the top touch when it pinches and you leave that alone..... go down below that slightly and then cut back in to form the new gap. Good tip and now it makes sense to me.

Great technique! I’ve run into this situation more than I care to remember. And have always run that same technique. Works like a charm.

Good tip. Will try it the next time I come across this situation, instead of doing my usual "bottom->up" cut.

Good tips. I do like using a wedge sometime when the log is close to the ground so I don’t hit the dirt. Kind of a security blanket.

I do two, or even three, top cuts about an inch apart, after the gap starts to close. If it does pinch, you can almost always break it down with a sledge.
@cl0wnbird9 күн бұрын
you can also cut a small v in the top before you start cutting through. i usually end up cutting from the bottom most of the time.
@gregdunstan5687 ай бұрын
Why not cut from top, stop, then finish with offset cut from bottom?

This is super hard even with wedges.. it’s super hard to not get pinched and can with proper technique and it’s a tree looked this.. takes a lot of time now how much time nose in or not to do cuts like this. It’s you gonna do it wrong 1000x before you ever do it right

Question: what is the downside to cutting up from the bottom when it starts to pinch?
@beardedloggerlife159 Жыл бұрын
Depending on the amount of pressure and size of the tree it can split the log. I use both methods but this is the one I use when I know it has high pressure.
