@@atharvabhosale3529 I'll try. usually, a tree feller cuts a flat slit in the face they want the tree to fall into, and then come in from an angle above to take out a wedge on that side. the direction the tree goes is dependent on minute factors around the angle of the edge of this 'wedge' relative to the tree and the depth of the hinge wood on each side (the wood left in between the wedge and the slot he eventually cuts at the back, this wood maintains the integrity of the tree until it becomes thin enough that it breaks off from the force of gravity applying torque to the tree - therefore it acts as a hinge for the tree to rotate against and prevents the base of the tree from slipping backwards and giving the feller one hell of a sucker punch and resulting in an uncontrolled fall). however, this method is difficult to master and it is sometimes practically impossible to get a tree to fall where you want with it because of its slope, shape/taper, and distribution of weight (mostly based on where the most branches are). what this guy did was cut the usual wedge mostly, but he cuts out a rectangle to leave connected to the upper trunk, which extended all the way to the back. he cuts a little sliver off this rectangle at the front because otherwise the geometry would cause the tree to lift up as it was falling - not good. essentially, the rectangle is sitting in its little slot and completely controls the lateral movement of the base and means the tree can only fall in the direction the rectangle has been cut, providing security against the wind or weight of branches or slope of the ground or improper wedge cutting causing the tree to drift and fall into another tree or someone's house or fence. essentially, he added a feature to the cut to constrain its movement to more easily direct it and ensure it would not change based on other factors. and he did it pretty safely too, from what I can see. please note that almost none of the terms I've used are proper arboristspeak, and I am not a 'proper arborist' besides

@@markusstewart9298 After the tree falls you can look at the wood fibers that snapped when the notch closed as opposed to all of them that were saw cut and you can see the "hinge" that was made by all of his notching and back cutting. The hinge is the wood that doesn't get cut through when notching or back cutting, it's literally what creates a hinge that guides the tree while it's falling as opposed to just cutting through it at the bottom and letting it fall any which way, that's the whole idea of doing all that notching and back cutting as opposed to just cutting it off. First you notch the front, then you back cut it on the other side up close to where the deepest part of the notch is, the uncut wood that's left keeps it from falling to the left or right of where you want it to fall, as the tree falls it's using that uncut wood as a hinge, then when the notch closes it snaps off the hinge wood (because at that point the tree has already fallen far enough that it's direction is committed anyways) and drops to the ground. The notch he cuts in this tree is a specialized notch which will probably just confuse you trying to understand all this, just think about my explanation using a basic notch and back cut as an example instead of this one. If you still don't have your head wrapped around things just Google something like "notching a tree with a hinge for directional felling" or enter something like that on KZhead and you'll be able to read an article with pictures or watch a video where they'll explain what the hinge wood part of a notch is. An experienced logger/tree feller can look at the hinge wood of a stump from a tree that's been felled and can tell how good the cutter was, when you get hired on as a new guy on a logging crew it won't be long on the first day and the boss will be walking around looking at your stumps checking out the hinge wood, hinge wood that's not good looking to the trained eye is an indication of someone who's prone to loosing control of the trees he's cutting down risking them dropping to the left or right of the intended direction and putting loggers abreast of him in danger.

@@bigbankhank1337 Sorry to disagree as politely as I can. Waste of wood, 3 vertical feet of lumber. Saw time and man time, 12 minutes vs 4 the tree already had an uphill lean and a clear field to fall. Training, perhaps,, for an arborist who is not cutting for timber, but only for a chipper or woodstove. But I also object a bit to his cutting of the vertical line from in front of the tree. Rotted core? He is then kneeling exactly where the tree is going to fall, a bad place to be. If the tree had a bad lean 90 degrees to that desired fall line,, that slot cut will not stop it reliably. I clear lots, most is cut to fireplace lengths, or fed through a chipper. Problem trees. A fall across a home, I was on a steep roof the other day for 6 straight hours, dismantling a tree a piece at a time to not damage the roof. Yes, I have done some fancy cuts to remove problem trees. But in 50 plus years I have not found an instance where that cut would be useful or preferred. Except to make a KZhead video.

@@JohnBorden-fu6my Some of the dullness is also the difference between cross cutting and ripping wood. Laughing, I am old, my carpenter's bench always had three handsaws in it. Yep, that old. A cross cut blade,, you may know, is sharpened to a point and blades,, so the sharpness is cutting the individual wood fibers like a knife. A rip saw is like a line of chisels, that also intersect the wood fibers at right angles to cut the fibers. Two basic saws,, crosscut,, which nearly all chainsaws are sharpened to,, and rip saws, cutting in the same direction as the grain. Square sharpened chains, sharpened with a square edged file,, not round,, rip much better. Much of that dust you correctly saw is from using a crosscut sharpened chain trying to rip the wood. Which,,,, makes two strikes against that technique because you are not going to swap chains or saws midway.

I can tell you with certainty this is a young guy cutting a tree down who is probably being told by the owner or supervisor to do it this way for practice. We cut lots of trees down every year up here and I encourage my guys to sharpen their skills with trunks like this. The risk is significantly decreased because most of the tree has been removed and good time for them to get a feel of how the hinge works before they try it on an 80’ bull pine that weighs at least a few tons and can take down a house or worse. It’s never a stupid thing to be safe and teach safety especially if you have young guys or inexperienced guys on your crew.

The notch he cuts in this tree is a specialized notch which will probably just confuse you trying to understand all this, just think about my explanation using a basic notch and back cut as an example instead of this one. If you still don't have your head wrapped around things just Google something like "notching a tree with a hinge for directional felling" or enter something like that on KZhead and you'll be able to read an article with pictures or watch a video where they'll explain what the hinge wood part of a notch is. An experienced logger/tree feller can look at the hinge wood of a stump from a tree that's been felled and can tell how good the cutter was, when you get hired on as a new guy on a logging crew it won't be long on the first day and the boss will be walking around looking at your stumps checking out the hinge wood, hinge wood that's not good looking to the trained eye is an indication of someone who's prone to loosing control of the trees he's cutting down risking them dropping to the left or right of the intended direction and putting loggers abreast of him in danger.

@@djmanley27 SNL Chad? 🙂
@@GarrisonFall I don't know what you're asking.
Great job, I liked seeing how that cut works. I can see how that long notch allows the faller greater control of fall placement.
More so done to lock the tree from rolling down hill after falling.
@@JoeWayne84 Not rolling but just plain sliding down the hill, that's exactly why logging crews start at the bottom of the mountain and log upwards while dropping the trees downhill, the natural shape of the limbs catches everything when dropped downhill preventing them from sliding all the way down to the creek at the bottom, dropping tree's uphill puts the cutter at risk of the tree chasing him all the way down the side of the mountain to the creek, drop trees uphill and the natural shape of the limbs makes them want to fold closer to the trunk instead of spreading outward and grabbing everything and digging in like dropping them downhill. Tree's are typically only dropped uphill when there's houses or some kind of property situation that gives you no other choice.
How would it having the notch add control? Because with that deep notch now the logs can’t roll or move side to side at all?!?! So it’s basically going to fall in the direction of the notch no matter how you cut your hinge wood? ..but I’m just a farmer that’s had a feller/logger that’s been working with me for the last 2 months so I’ve been trying learn as much about cutting as I can while teaching him how to be a framer lol!

Got to admit it. That's the finest cut I've ever seen. Respect.
Not many are admitting it lol
Now that was cool! Never seen this technique but will keep it in the memory bank for future use lol
That’s the first time I’ve seen that one done excellent job man!
That's a great method I've never seen before. Direction control the entire felling. With rigging you can only control your fell until your rope gets slack
A great way to control kickbacks of the tree when it falls up hill. Our Pastor of our church just about got killed with the tree kicking back hitting him in the chest then landing on his leg. I’m saving this video for him.
Sorry to hear. Thanks for the insight.
When the tree falls you have several seconds to move away. Start moving and stop getting starstruck of your own work.
I think it’s too late for him he won’t see it
@@ChaseW26 Amen
God should have hollered Timber to warn him.
This man is a chainsaw surgeon
`Unneeded, Unnecessary. Makes for a good KZhead,, That's it. Did he set a wedge? Use a hydraulic jack? Cut a long hinge to control the direction longer? Use a static line to control the direction? No. He stood right in front of it while he cut it free. Not a place I want to be..
@@Sailor376alsothis is a training video for the kid to practice hinges. The tree was already topped and could hardly hurt a fly at this point. If you can’t see that you aren’t worth your salt in this field
@@bigbankhank1337 Sorry to disagree as politely as I can. Waste of wood, 3 vertical feet of lumber. Saw time and man time, 12 minutes vs 4 the tree already had an uphill lean and a clear field to fall. Training, perhaps,, for an arborist who is not cutting for timber, but only for a chipper or woodstove. But I also object a bit to his cutting of the vertical line from in front of the tree. Rotted core? He is then kneeling exactly where the tree is going to fall, a bad place to be. If the tree had a bad lean 90 degrees to that desired fall line,, that slot cut will not stop it reliably. I clear lots, most is cut to fireplace lengths, or fed through a chipper. Problem trees. A fall across a home, I was on a steep roof the other day for 6 straight hours, dismantling a tree a piece at a time to not damage the roof. Yes, I have done some fancy cuts to remove problem trees. But in 50 plus years I have not found an instance where that cut would be useful or preferred. Except to make a KZhead video.
dullest chain I've ever seen looks like dust coming out good way to burn a bar up or a chainsaw I prefer block and tackle in wedges
@@JohnBorden-fu6my Some of the dullness is also the difference between cross cutting and ripping wood. Laughing, I am old, my carpenter's bench always had three handsaws in it. Yep, that old. A cross cut blade,, you may know, is sharpened to a point and blades,, so the sharpness is cutting the individual wood fibers like a knife. A rip saw is like a line of chisels, that also intersect the wood fibers at right angles to cut the fibers. Two basic saws,, crosscut,, which nearly all chainsaws are sharpened to,, and rip saws, cutting in the same direction as the grain. Square sharpened chains, sharpened with a square edged file,, not round,, rip much better. Much of that dust you correctly saw is from using a crosscut sharpened chain trying to rip the wood. Which,,,, makes two strikes against that technique because you are not going to swap chains or saws midway.
Oh man, been a long time since I saw an uphill drop that professional. Good work.
One of the coolest fells ive ever seen.
That was good work and your technique was calculated and executed well.
I thought he was doing some sort of origami. Figured a folded crane would appear out of the tree.
One of the specialty cuts that have a time and place for real need but are often shown in a situation that doesn't demand it and or wasn't executed in a way that portrayed it's best effectness.
Okay.., I'm nowhere near an expert but I don't see how this cut makes it fall "uphill". I do see it limiting any right/left variation?
@@lesmoore3638 had nothing to do with "making" it fall up the hill but rather keeping it in place from sliding or rolling back down the hill once it hit the ground
@@treemanclint2883 Got it.
It did fall in the uphill direction. 🤷♂️
WELL PUT! That was explained ina way I believe ANYBODY could understand! YOU SIR should be making your own channel and providing content because I’d bet you explain things good enough for a faith grader to pick it up and learn!🤷🏻♂️
I love the view from behind, tree is delimbed and leaned heavy up hill anyways
Best opportunity to practice a new skill.
Yeah this is clearly a training video for someone inexperienced to practice hinges. A pro wouldn’t wast time with this and their face cut would be way faster/smoother. Nothing wrong with teaching young guys how to work safely when you have opportunities like this
Never seen it done that way. That's pretty cool.
Give that man a raise
That was slicker than goose shit.
Slicker than snot on a door knob too.
方法真棒,是經驗中累積出來的智慧。
简直浪费木头
I could look at this all day. Brilliant satisfying work.
Beautiful! That second camera angle was gold tier thanks!
Wow! Real smart move! There was no way it was going anywhere else but the direction you carved it out to go.
Very cool, i don’t get to see this technique very often. Stay safe.
Like some other commenters said, I also like seeing how that was done. That was awesome! The way he put that hinge in the trees, so it would only for one way.
DUDE HOW DO YOU DO THAT!? HOW DO YOU LINE IT UP SO PERFECTLY!? 😩
Best new trick for not killing myself on hillside, great technique! Quite impressed.
Just in case customer doesn’t pay, they can put it back up.
😳🤯 I’ve never seen that technique done before well I’ve definitely learned something new.
I can tell you with certainty this is a young guy cutting a tree down who is probably being told by the owner or supervisor to do it this way for practice. We cut lots of trees down every year up here and I encourage my guys to sharpen their skills with trunks like this. The risk is significantly decreased because most of the tree has been removed and good time for them to get a feel of how the hinge works before they try it on an 80’ bull pine that weighs at least a few tons and can take down a house or worse. It’s never a stupid thing to be safe and teach safety especially if you have young guys or inexperienced guys on your crew. A bunch of keyboard warriors who helped their dad cut a tree down once when they were kids acting like they’re professionals in the comments section here
That is the most genius way I ever seen a tree being cut down great job man 👍
I like this. Very well done

Damn fine cutting never seen that before
Even basic physics will never cease to amaze me.
I know nothing about felling a tree, but that was impressive 😁🤙
Never even seen before but it totally makes sense once you see him do it
Looks fun. Salute! From Sweden
It's called having full control of falling a big tree
If I end up having to go into therapy, because I watched this video, and keep doing so, I’m gonna make my shrink watch it.
This takes the usual hinge to the next level!
This a truly under rated job. Watching this gives me so much anxiety.
Crazy how many ppl have hatred on this video. Deff a demonstration video on how to make this cut in case you are afraid of the butt of the tree jumping at something near it. Like a house, fence etc
I don't think this joint is supposed to control kickback. I think it's to prevent rotation as it falls and lands.
@@PatrickKQ4HBD both and
Yeah bro fr they are clearly training this kid how to hinge and everyone is freaking out like they risk their neck for a buck every day too
that was incredible. nicely done!
❤ that's cool!! It's a must try .never do it but there to practice. At some point. ❤
This was very impressive
Over here looking like you need a PhD to cut a tree down. Either way great skill, much respect
Beautiful cut man
That was beautiful to behold. He made a hinge with a chainsaw.
is the rudder type notch to keep it from falling to one side? also, I have no idea how commercial logging is done, but this video shows the skill and time needed to do it carefully.
Das hab ich mir abgeguckt....DANKE !
You gotta teach me that bro amazing
Beautiful!😮 Well done!
Skill at another level
I never see such a perfect cutting..excellent
Rarely do we ever see hinge cuts. Well done
DANG!..."that boy good! He's real good!"
i didn't know this method to keep tree direction. nice!
Fun to watch. Idk why all the hate. 🌲 👍
overkill with the fancy hinge cut
THAT is a Professional.
if you’re doing a job like this close to the truck it’s much easier and more efficient to tie a brake line to the stump if you’re worried about it rolling off somewhere
That was cool. I would have never thought of that.
❤ that's cool!! It's a must try .
screw the neg comments...very creative job
Yeah - I'm pretty sure the negative comments are rooted in envy.
If the tree wasn't vertical it could just as easily fall downhill. Speaking from experience!
Nice technique !
Very impressive! Very cool such control
Just watching this, I think I need to go sharpen my chain
I miss my chainsaw. I miss splitting, cutting wood. That’s just plain bad ass. Thank you for your time.
There are guys that have destroyed homes falling trees saying dang i wish i new this then, i would still have that job and they would still have that home.
Masterclass 👌🏽👍🏽
I did this exact thing but to an old curved oak. If I let gravity take it, it would have crushed the neighbor's house. I key-hinged it to fall about 15-20 degrees left. It was a time-sucker but got the job done perfectly.
Nice Work !!
Neat cut, might practice on smaller trees
That's so sick. Perfect aim
When u have an extra day on the job😂 lil baby tree was a no doubt about it going that way
Now no bull he,s a professional awesome work
Wow!! First time I've seen this method😮
Nicely done!
This guy is a genius ❤😊
Beautiful job
You definitely need to add a disclaimer on this video not to try this, somebody with limited experience tries that plunge cut is gonna lose an arm.
And where does anyone get experience, if not from doing it the first time?
@@PatrickKQ4HBD felling trees for a few years, for starters. we arborists tend to do a lot of that
Best chainsaw video yet. Nicely done.
Build some on trails with foot loops and things attached for security during the great Collapse.
Now that was interesting, never seen that technique before.
Magnifique cette coupe ❤chapeau
Perfection. 👌
Awesome!
I remember when people just cut the tree and controlled it with the hinge. Peasants.
Ya was gonna say I could of done the same thing with some wedges and in halfe the time lol
Whoa,now that was nifty!
That would be pretty near next level tree felling
Never seen that method..... I was amazed...😎
Me: Middle of the video: "WTF is he even doing?" End of video: "HA! That's awesome!"
Perfect felling❤
