use ax as plumb line

Lol sure, if you're the kind of noob who doesn't carry a plumb bob with them.

Why carry something extra?

I wonder if you can fell a tree with a shirt on too?

Godric@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 1y

Trees don't wear shirts, silly

No.

Well, once you take yours off, naturally you hang it on the tree. Problem solved!

Step 1: use a chainsaw instead.

A few years agoI started dropping a ~10" tree for my parents. They had an axe, so I said "ok, whatever, it's good exercise".

Thirty minutes later I was driving to a friend's house to borrow a 12" chainsaw... Which was all he had.

That must've been the world's dullest axe.

I'm already lost at step one. The diagram doesn't really explain wtf he is measuring

Plumb lines are used to find how off center something is from straight up/down. I think this is so you can know which side the tree naturally wants to fall towards and work with that

Hey, I've inadvertently been felling trees the correct way. That's good to know.

These have been small trees mind you. Like, small enough for you to be able to push it the direction you want it to fall.
