You chain that up coz they barber chair?

Ace Master · 26th October 2007, 12:08 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?

Eric Frei · 19th November 2007, 05:10 PM

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.

That was at Mt Dandy along Ridge rd for the power company.

Ace Master · 19th November 2007, 07:58 PM

That was the easy part

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

Graeme McMahon · 19th November 2007, 10:12 PM

Eric Frei · 3rd December 2007, 10:47 PM

Yep, I watched them all and liked the big log felling ones the most.

Old mate bouncing on the end of some rope bringing over a decent log, quite a task. Obviously the hinge wood of those mountain ash is quite flexible unlike say ironbark.

newguy18 · 4th December 2007, 06:25 AM

Cool vids ace.

shaggs · 5th December 2007, 08:23 PM

It didn't matter where you went, the bloody sawdust still blew in your face.

Why does that always happen?

Must be Murphys law.

A bit of stuffing around couldn,t see because of the sawdust and the scarf had to be spot on, as it was very tight and the ground was unlevel between the two roads (No damage).Sammy was the camera man out of the bucket truck that day.Got some more good vid from a job yesterday of two dead tops coming out at the same time,this thing was dead as a door nail.

Thanks
