excellent job and great video!

Awesome, that saw sound's and cuts!!!!

Its pretty awesome watching you cut down these big ass trees. I've done it a couple of times but they weren't that big of tree tall but not 6 feet wide. And it took me forever to figure out the fall direction. Lol goes to show you=pro me=amateur lol awesome videos bro

Nice saw...takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Good work.

"They make those saws everyday". Second time I heard that. First time I was about to make a back cut in a four foot oak leaner....from my best friend and it was his saw.

Awesome video, thank you for sharing. You certainly give a hard days work for your pay my Friend. I know what it's like, I worked for a tree service almost 40 yrs ago for a few years. Keeps you in good shape. I'd love to learn how you port and insainorize those saws and it would be awesome for you to show us here, but I understand you gotta' make extra money, not by giving away all your secrets to build the hotsaws for your customers. Have a Blessed day on GODS great green earth and be safe out there doing the worlds most deadliest job.

stevencroon hi. I wouldn't say so. Completely solid until it hit the spike knot. This was some of the toughest I've ever cut. No. Some are. Sometimes the wood will have a wave pattern - curly. There are videos that show it in the hinge. It will run the full length of he bole sometimes. It will break in a wave shape like what you are referring to. Redwoods are known to be brittle. They carry a lot of water and are usually heavy. One of the reasons there are some different techniques that are required to save the wood while felling them. This channel shows a few of said techniques in some of the videos. It's kind of like when bucking a log through a knot in a big ol' Ponderosa or Sugar Pine and it breaks away in a wave like pattern. I've seen that inland before too. Thanks for watching.

@hotsaws101

Kevin hi. Trying not to take out and/or damage the leave trees was almost as much of a consideration as saving out the take trees. This is because at some future point, they will be worth harvesting. Any damage they sustain will reduce the tree's value. It was in a bad location. I could have hit the swale had it not been growing there. That was a much better shot. Although sometimes a guy will experience the "Velcro Effect", this was more the opposite due to the toughness of the limbs and spruce are a known quantity for being a tough wood - pushing the other trees off. Even though it was a smaller spruce, it was still really tough. In the end, the red went a bit high, but it also missed a couple of stumps and did not break in the guts. That would have been a costly das-aster. Thanks for watching.

Hello again Hotsaws 101. If i may I would like to pick your brain on something...at about the 22 minute mark you measured from the undercut out. What were you looking for here? What was your math formula? kinda kidding, but from watching your videos I can tell there is a method to your madness!! Later I saw you cut out the tree in front of the undercut, then at around 25.46 you bored into the center of the tree. Why? I have been curious as to the strategy behind this, I have seen some of your other stumps that look like you did the same thing. I am in no way questioning your work just curious as I am sure there is a reason. Thanks, be safe. AJ

Marty hi. Gapped face? What you reference is a Modified Humboldt undercut with an open hinge, or you could possibly call it a Modified Humboldt undercut with an open back. Keep in mind this video was filmed in Humboldt County where the term Humboldt Undercut originated. As far as World's Best? I'd be very hard pressed to ever say that about anything I've done.... I did explain correctly to Mr. Aj Bolton what he was asking in case you want to peruse that information. I do appreciate the "science" aspect, but, the authors were pretty quick (page 1) to point out (in parenthesis at end) the following: "Motor manual tree felling remains an essential activity for harvesting on steep and broken terrain. Practical guidelines for different undercut methods have been developed, but little formal mechanical analysis on the performance of the undercuts is available. WorkSafeBC (2009) states the following about the Humboldt undercut (Figure 1): “This is the recommended safest cut. As the tree falls, the butt closes squarely against the sloping undercut pushing the tree away with less chance of the tree kicking back off the stump.” {This statement is technically incorrect.} Unfortunately, “the authors” were also wrong to a degree similar as what is seen in the previous paragraph regarding the following: This small field trial indicates that the holding wood is able to control the falling direction of a tree until it is completely broken when the undercut closes; however, if the lower part of the trunk contacts a rigid object, this can affect the performance of the holding wood and the magnitude of this effect will be a function of the brittleness of the wood. Incidentally, the channel’s creator appreciates it when viewers actually ask before posting links. Thanks for watching.

To me it doesn't look like there is much time wasted. I am pretty sure too much hurry, on a tree of that size, could easily end up in the tree falling some distance to the right or left, and that may be exactly what he tries to avoid. I was also impressed to see that on such a big stump, a lot of things that you could go away with on a smaller tree need to be considered with precision. Like a going a few degrees off from the horizontal starting the back cut, and you end up way off on the other side of the stump

Jason hi. Think I'm picking up what your laying down here. On the West Coast, specifically NorCal Coast, the most vibrant growing time for the "coasty" forest is between 30 and 70 years. This comes from the forestry people that study, well, forests. So, this particular tree is not really in it's "prime" since it is older than 70 years.by a fair amount. I think that there is a lot emotion involved with the majority of people's opinions regarding trees. I do not think that there is much in the way of consideration of the actual facts when it comes to trees with a majority of people's opinions, however. Which of course, is entirely unfortunate. What I find laughable is that all the pro tree life people always seem to go home to a nice wood construction home. Seems a tad hypocritical to me personally. Thanks for watching.
