This years nominees in the category of "Most Fucked Up Stump" are.

LOL

 

[Daniel]

ps.. I swung that gum nearly 45 degrees from a significant side lean and side weight on that hinge

 

[rico]

Gosh Daniel, you could have easily swung that backyard monster 45 degrees, made a mechanically sound cut, and left a pretty stump...A win, win, win...

Instead you are once again a shoe in for this years "ugliest stumpy by a so-called pro" award....

Here's three more for your perusal:

How about some action shots of the actual fall in motion rather than the bloody aftermath?

 

[JaredDTS]

If you left more hinge on the top and a little hinge on the bottom perhaps it would have swung more and not collapsed in the leans direction.

What. No bypass, destroyed hinge, or trees laying 90 degrees from their undercut...You must have been off your game that day Daniel.

this is more of a tapered hinge..

 

[Daniel]

here is a discussion about why my hinges aren't straight!

 

[JaredDTS]

You didn't explain why having a tapered hinge would cause the wood to steer or hold in one direction. You explained why you tapered the hinge but not its function.

 

[rico]

this is more of a tapered hinge..

More hackery.

 

[Daniel]

don't let the shadow fool you...

Daniel and rico...may as well tie two cat's tails together and throw them over a clothesline. It's a good thing they are on opposite coasts.

I am not sure what your cutting skill level is OldOak, but whether on the west-coast or east-coast bypass is bypass...A real pro will ALWAYS take the few seconds needed to clean it up, and a lazy hack won't...It's really that simple.

As long as Daniel continues posting pics of subpar cutting practices, I am gonna continue busting his chops...its really that simple..

 

[rico]

What shadow would that be Daniel?

 

[Daniel]

The shadow that makes you think there was a bypass in the face cuts...

I left you another hint but you completely missed it...

I haven't made those two videos public yet. Witing to see if anyone on the forums could catch it, but no one has so far.. that said, there are only about 18 views on the video, so not many people are actually watching

 

[rico]

Nice try Daniel, but as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow morning there was bypass on that undercut...You know it, I know it, and anyone here with a low level of skills at the stump knows it....

Here is the actual definition of bypass incase your in the mood to learn something buddy-



Bypass is exactly what we are all looking at Daniel.



Instead of doing your job correctly, and conscientiously, you left a small amount of bypass across almost the entire undercut... Why? You certainly weren't trying to swing anything left or right, and having bypass on an undercut is just about that last thing one wants when they are pulling over a back leaner..

 

[Daniel]

how do you explain the higher shadow then, which runs parallel with the lower..

 

[Daniel]

You simply don't understand what you're looking at.

You keep saying you do but you don't

And here's the unquestionable proof that this hinge held perfectly, as it was intended to do, given a look at the broken fibers here, and as per the video the tree made the lay dead center of the padding log.
