Jump cuts

Love that oak topping... bridged the road with the cushion logs beautifully. I noticed how the pull line went up and over and was tied lower down on the top.... i'm wondering if that enables a greater distance throw since at a certain point as the piece tilts down the pull on the rope is kind of pulling the piece up and away... I like it.
 
Also figured out today that narrow notches require even greater observance as the distance they travel is reduced so the timing and speed of the backcut has to be even more precise, (with regards to how much of a hinge is wanted or when/how to cut through the hinge if that is desired). Bringing that skill level up!
 
So the 3' stone wall was right up against the 22" dbh tree. I was not confident enough in my ability to use the narrow notches or jump cuts with the step cut. I stood on the wall and cut a traditional notch, relatively shallow about 7' off the ground, dropped it right over the wall by an inch or two.

I just thought I owed this thread a result. I will continue to practice these new to me techniques, thank you!

Oh man, that clip is gold! Daniel do you travel with a film crew? Extra trailer for them? Food services? You have so much video of your work I don't know how you have the time to do all the actual tree work that it is obvious that you do! Thanks for sharing. I think your footage will someday be like the silent films of arboriculture :tanguero:
 
When I cared, I used to throw a camera or two in the truck and if there was an extra man available for filming, we would tape.. MISSED A LOT of great shots becasue we needed everyone to focus on the work at hand or dead batteries etc.. Glad I did it.. Tat old stuff seems like a dream to me now..
