It wasn’t pretty, but he got it down-on that other tree lol. Despite cutting most of the hinge off. Don’t think that was intentional.

That undercut was way too deep with a Dutchman. You're very lucky it didn't go the other way after you cut through your hinge wood. And, sharpen your chain.

Thanks for the video. IMHO the notch was too deep, almost half the diameter, and the lines were overcut where they meet on one side of the notch apex.
@dblood85293 жыл бұрын
I was thinking the same thing. Shouldn’t go over a third of the tree and not over cut. Not much of a hinge, perhaps a little higher on the back cut. Not too be overly too critical but this can help someone whose trying to learn.
@orangeshaw23702 жыл бұрын
For those learning, safety is key, even on a practice run. How to use a wedge the proper way is enhanced by using TWO wedges (as demonstrated). This limits the tree hinging/pivoting on the single wedge instead of the hingewood & falling 90° from the intended falling direction, WHEN newbies cut through and have NO hingewood left. ✖ 06:00 (When you see chips flying towards you from the GBar NOSE, then you should pull out immediately, before the trunk pinches the kerf closed.)

@orangeshaw23702 жыл бұрын
That 90° off target happened to me once when I had two main stems/trunks even though there was tension on the rope. No damage on site, but caused an accelerated learning curve towards safety. (I was using two wedges but only one per trunk.)

Sharpen your chain, make a proper notch, don't cut off your hingewood. If that tree really had a need for wedges then you waited too long to put them in the back cut. It also helps if you actually strike the head of the wedge more than once every 3 or 4 swings. Shiny new saw with a shiny new bar. Shiny new wedges with a shiny new axe. A shiny new chain might have helped. Maybe they wouldn't sell you anything but homeowner safety chain. Nothing but a KZbin poser there Big Fella. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Paused at 2:49 I'm a rookie, watching vids to try and learn. I just watched a face notch cut to 50% or more depth. Then you scribed around the back side and the scribe line at 2:42 actually ended just BELOW the apex of the notch. Came here to watch "Using Wedge the Proper way", but I'm not staying to see what you have to show, because even as a beginner I feel like I don't trust whatever else you might share. Sorry.

If you watch yes the scribed line wasn’t prefect but he started his back cut about 2 inches above the scribe line. It worked out fine.

Thanks for the video. That was a beautiful tree. A shame that it had to be taken down. The tree was straight, no lean and well balanced. You can use up to a 1/2 depth notch in this situation. It was a wide notch but some prefer that. Glad to see two wedges. You started them fairly close together when you initially placed them because the chain was not far away. I typically use a 2nd set of wedges as the saw gets deeper into the tree so that the wedges have more spread and remove the first set when they are free. Nice saw! The saw should run better after you get several tanks of gas through it. Looks like plenty of clean-up!
@diddleysquat3166 Жыл бұрын
How come your one of the few that don’t start with the flat bottom cut - using the chainsaw sight to determine fall direction cutting Scott 1/3 of tree diameter. THEN cut the angle wedge to join the 1st cut with no overcuts? Leaving about a 1 1/2 to 2” hinge.

This went okay, but he made a few mistakes. His diagonal face cut was too deep, and his horizontal face cut didn't meet it on the right side, which produced a Dutchman. His scribe line didn't quite meet up, but as he made the back cut above it (good technique) that didn't matter much. His back cut was slanted, and he cut through the hinge on the right side. He's lucky the tree didn't twist or roll as it fell. Finally the tree fell so slowly it wound up resting on the stump, which makes it more dangerous to buck.

I have cut trees for nearly 30 years. This was NOT the way to do it. Sure, he got the tree on the ground but the chain was dull as a fro, and putting two wedges side by side like that is kind of redundant. It isn't like one wedge is going to overpower the other, they are both the same thickness. Personally I would have either used one wedge or stacked them and driven them in together and I would have used a real fallers axe, not a long-handled Eastwing hatchet to drive the wedges. In addition the pitch on the notch cut was very wrong. You don't need a steep angle like that. A 3 or 4 inch wide notch will do the same thing with half the effort. Like I said, he got the tree down safely so good job on getting it done and not getting hurt but the method could have been more easily and effectively executed here.
