Thanks more to it than just letting the saw rip.

 

I prefer a simple back cut, then again I avoid anything with a major lean, I know my limits.

 

Good stuff.

 

Good video

 

I love the bore cut and hinge The best way to cut any tree

 

Getting lucky is often one step away from death. This guy is a complete tool.

 

When I started doing research on buying a chainsaw, I also researched how to fell trees. This is the one video I found to be the best. This was long before I found this site. Now that I have my saw, I've still not taken down any trees. Soon. However; this is the method I plan to follow.

Thanks for the refresher. Might be able to finally get out a fell some trees.

 

Great bore cut demonstration, and the limb shaving is a new one for me.

I still have yet to try a bore cut, even on heavy leaners.

You can really do a lot of stupid stuff with a saw if you don't think ahead. Most stupid stuff can kill you, but not ensuring your escape plan, clearing to make it safe, and assessment of the tree BEFORE you cut are absolutely necessary and something I've always done.

 

yeah also I have found that when limbing keeping the area clear is a lot more productive and safer

Some more good videos if anyone interested. I've been so bored ive watched every wood cutting thing I can find lately

 

Great informative video, thanks for sharing.
Here is one I couldn't help sharing, Bob Villa chainsaw tips

 

Like Bob says... "good luck with your project"... ya might need it droppin em' 90 degrees off the hinge notch...

 

I haven't cut down a tree in almost 5 months. I am missing the thrill of watching one come down. The bore cut is the safest technique. You can check things out before the final bit of back cut takes it down. A back cut to the hinge offers the least amount of control.
