my only complaint why not skip the music and explain what you are doing instead

This way it is multi-lingual and unless you're blind you should get it.

Ok, minus the steel wedges I guess the technique works, but why not just make a standard back cut then drive a longer plastic wedge parallel with the cut?

[Ekka007]

First of all they're aluminium wedges.

Secondly the technique is for smaller dia trees where you cannot put a wedge behind the bar, what you are proposing is making the back cut, removing the saw leaving no wedge, then inserting a wedge ... like to see what tutor supports that theory, especially with a slight breeze or lean.

nice video mate!! this is gonna help me out in hawaii alot. we have alot of wind out here and about 40% of my tree jobs are palm removals.

Cool technique. Might take a bit longer than just making a back cut first. What we would do is just make a back cut first, insert a wedge, then a face cut in front (a little below the back cut). If the tree didn't easily fall with a little wedge pounding after cutting the face, we'd cut into the tree a little on each side of the wedge (and tree) at the same level as the face cut.

Playing WASP makes me love you. Using lightsaber and photon torpedoes makes me ... confused about my love for you.

Same cut for leaning trees.

Quarter cutting has been around for years.

How about a little bigger hammer to hit with.
