Execute Tree Felling Cuts
At 5:45 in
I messed up!!Felling and prepping big oak for Sawmill
What happens here
After starting the gas-powered chainsaw, the operator makes a directional notch cut on the side of the tree facing the intended fall direction. This notch guides the tree's fall. Next, a back cut is made on the opposite side, slightly higher than the notch, allowing the tree to pivot and fall safely. During both cuts, the operator maintains a secure stance, monitors the tree's behavior, and listens for cracking sounds indicating the tree is beginning to fall. Once the tree starts to fall, the operator quickly disengages the chainsaw and moves to a pre-planned escape route, away from the falling tree.
Goal: Perform the necessary felling cuts (notch and back cut) on the tree, constantly monitoring its movement and ensuring a safe exit path.
