A day on the Homestead | How to Fell a Tree
Had a few dead fir trees in the woodlot so I decided to make a little video showing how to fell a tree in the direction you want, safely. I'll talk about making a face cut, back cut, and the importance of leaving a hinge to guide the tree safely to the ground. After felling a big fir tree we drag it out of the forest and saw some lumber on my little Woodland Mills bandsaw mill. The rest is cut into rounds and split for firewood. I couldn't help but get a little philosophical along the way.
