She then pulled the rope that compressed the block and tackle and pulled the tree in the direction of the wedge cut, I immediately sawed the back of the tree toward the wedge cut, dropping the tree exactly where we wanted it.<br /><br />This is an important safety step when felling a tree. Once the wedge is cut, the tree becomes potentially unstable and can potentially fall at any time. After you cut the wedge, you must then quickly drop the tree.<br /><br />Lets lumberjack safely out there.<br /><br />-JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-57818279334212717702015-09-13T15:54:03.596-07:002015-09-13T15:54:03.596-07:00Oh my Julia you are a very good sport!
My husband ...Oh my Julia you are a very good sport!<br />My husband loves to take down trees too. We used to live on 17 densely wooded acres, and he spent every weekend for 10 years clearing the unhealthy trees and the ones that were choking out the old hardwoods. We now live in the suburbs of a very large city. He has nothing to cut now but he won't get rid of that chainsaw. It's hanging on our garage wall, like a trophy ;) <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-65949003546378439662015-09-13T07:29:42.495-07:002015-09-13T07:29:42.495-07:00My partner is not like this,but my dad, totally li...My partner is not like this,but my dad, totally like this.
