Aug 12, 2007 #10 B BostonBull Location North of Boston Great shots looks fun! One suggestion learn to cut higher....hold the saw up higher above you, if that piece ever rolled or the saw ever kicked back it would be right in you chest and neck.

Aug 12, 2007 #12 TLHamel Location St. Paul, MN The chain dulling pick was second to last, still 12-15' up. Here's a better perspective of the final pick. Attachments 93316-Crane135LargeWebview.webp 108.7 KB · Views: 173
