  • @XmojotronX

    in the time it takes him to talk about what hes going to do, i could have already cut it down and into logs. haha

  • Excellent tutorial. I enjoyed the instruction on assessing the directional leans (back & side lean) of canopy to help determine how to put it on target. Thank you for sharing this with us. :)

  • good  presentation people , congratulations

  • HOW DID I GET HERE?!?!

  • Nicely done

  • Thanks for this - great info...

  • whats the importance of noting back lean or front lean?

  • One prime important step. When cutting to insert the wedge cut straight back but not through backstap area. DO NOT work the saw tip towards your hinge or you can cut through it when doing bore cuts. Easily done by inexpierinced cutters. This can be a very dangerous situation.
