Tapered Hinge With Backlean

Eric, like I mentioned on the other thread I hope I can get my PC working so I can see your video. I hear it is good.

Also, like I said, personally, I think that using a combination of tapered hinge AND the adjusted gunning tech. will work very well most of the time, and that is what I am trying to fine tune my felling tech. with now.

You hit the nail on the head, adjusted gun and tapered hinge ... it's a winner.

Hey, if you're stuck one of the fellows on the board may burn it for you and mail it to you ... who's close by?
 
Thanks for the video experiment Ekka... your efforts are really well comended. I wish my boss here was into doing stuff like that.

Now I can't remember if this was covered previously in the thread, and I've no time to read back right now, but what if your face notch was tilted on a slight angle in the desired felling direction (away from the lean)? Then perhaps the back cut came in level, in turn leaving a taper which has a higher side to the hinge with more meat and possibly more pull on the desired side.

Has anyone tried this? I do this in the tree sometimes, and the effect works fairly well but those are limbs attached to a rigging rope... this allows me to swing the branch away from, say, a fence below on the hinge before I follow the cut through.
 
Ian, I have not done that but I have read about it and seen diagrams in Dent's and Jerry Beranek's books. You would probably find more loggers than arborists using an advanced tech. as that.

Can anyone burn me a copy of Ekka's tapered hinge video? I'll gladly pay for a copy so I can see it. Just PM me, or let me know right here.

Thanks
Chris
 
If you can't fetch the file from his server to your hard drive and view it from there, then having a copy burned to a CD will avail you nothing. You need to declare a program for handling video files. I'd remove whatever program you've currently got assigned to the task, using the "add/remove programs" bit. Then re-install it and if necessary, reassign it to the task
 
The "Windows way" of keeping track of which programs handle which file types is regrettably quite fragile. The easiest way to "fix" it when it breaks (which is what sounds like happened to you) is to do as I said. Remove completely the program which you want to handle the file types and re-install it. The re-installation usually (!) takes care of the handler assignments but in some cases it's required to do it manually. If you attempt to go straight to the manual assignment without removing/installing the applicable program (using the "wizard"ry) it can often lead to hours of fruitless frustration.

Good luck. I'd personally use a completely different operating system and be done with all the viruses/trojans/general-insecurity of what you're using now.
