You chain that up coz they barber chair?

Ace Master · 25th October 2007, 06:08 AM

Yep! chain her up, I don't need a hair cut, she had a lean backwards towards the HV lines, we had two ropes pulling her hard and this makes alot of pressure when backcutting .Mt Ash love's splitting and cracking so more caution must be taken plus always use a sharp saw and keep it cutting.When it hit the ground she split most of the way along because of it's straight grain.Watch out for jamming saws.
Have seen barber chairs,root plates lift up and tree sliding back of the stumps, allways try to limit these hazards as much as possible it's danagerous enough and be ready for the unexpected,shit does happen! and in your joc's aswell.

where was that first video shot Mark? was it near Olinda?

Darn you guys get LOTS OF ROOM to do your thing, bomb off the big crap top. I love bombing off stuff, just in burbs you dont get much chance.

But like you said, out rural areas many do it themselves if not too big or dodgey and most blocks are pretty much cleared here.... well, up to within 10m of the house.

,we had to rope all the limbs off first before the bombing started ,plus i smash the waterdrain pipe at the end
