    Today's job was dropping 4 red maples and a beech. All were leaning, some more than others, most of them in the "right" direction. Made a heck of mess for me to clean up tomorrow.

    Interesting to see how others notch. I always do my flat cut first. I never pizz rev a saw. Saw one let go while pizz revving. The dramatic pause before 1st cut was nice. 8/10

    Nice drop Mike, I like the bore cut method, especially leaners.
