The face cut is called a sizwill. It’s great for holding on one side of the hingewood in scenarios like this where you have a leaner and want the hinge to hang on as long as possible on the tension side of the wood.
@MidwestGarage any chance you could dumb that down quite a bit lol. That sounded fascinating and seemingly you know what you're talking about (hope that wasn't offensive).
@mraxolotl8938 Basically you have a face cut that looks like a big notch. When you cut the opposite side in a straight line the tree will (hopefully) fall toward the big notch. When you're cutting down a tree you're removing wood until a small little section of wood snaps over. This allows you to control the fall. The sizwill removes that wood so the middle piece that we intend to break is smaller. So it pulls to the side with the left over wood. I'm having a hard time explaining it in a way that isn't technical. Don't attempt it if you dunno what you're doing or when to use it.
you actually see the whole thing. I remember my plumber telling me he had to learn from a dude who was hiding everything he was doing. This guy filmed everything.
I honestly can’t tell bc the camera man was just moving around all over the fucking place it looks like an attempted sizwheel but idk if it actually moved like a six wheel is supposed too
Get some real chainsaw pants..chaps are not rated and will just pull off to the side of the leg..tests have bern done..of your cutting trees as professional..wear a helmet and chainsaw pants..it's like buying cheapest insurance without it. 😢😮
that power line like a mile away😂
Cottonwood cut up like a dream. So easy to saw in
Great technique, love it
I need to learn how to bore cut.
Camera was in the wrong spot for this.
What brand of hard hat are you wearing 😅
Boss.
Awesome!
that’s gonna make a nice shack
The bore cut. My favorite
That Husq putting In work
Interesting.
Feeling feeling it’s cutting
What a mess. !
I thought cotton wood was too brittle to swing like that. Nice.
You didnt feel like getting up there lol
That is a siswill or siswheel notch in the face of the birdsmouth notch.
Wasn't the tree already leaning parallel to the power line?
What type of face cut is that?

No power lines even close
You DID NOT show, or teach me, one damn THING.
Go look up Guilty of Treeson’s felling tutorial, they explain this cut in there.
This video isn't a tutorial. It was never intended to teach you anything...it's simply just a video of a tree being cut down, as stated in the title.
you actually see the whole thing. I remember my plumber telling me he had to learn from a dude who was hiding everything he was doing. This guy filmed everything.
Click bait... Worst part is your wearing chaps and not a hard hat... Hard hats save lives
That saw doesn't sound quite right, maybe its lean. Not trying to be a pain.
🥺😡😡😭
Is it just me or is plenty far from the power lines
I honestly can’t tell bc the camera man was just moving around all over the fucking place it looks like an attempted sizwheel but idk if it actually moved like a six wheel is supposed too
Also looks like the actual lean of the tree was already in the direction it fell?
Hard hats are very inexpensive
So is not being a twat
Hard hats are not expensive
@chadrides914 yeah he said their very inexpensive he didn't say they were expensive

Bummer no cut short to see
