Hum I see why it's called a polish cut. Ha ha pollock. Doing it the difficult way the polish way.
yes. when the tree leans so hard that I wont be able to backnit up with wedges as a typical face cut first scenario, I install the polish back cut, set wedges very very tight, then cut my face, then finish everything.
You can also change ... a light bulb ... in the Polish way … 😅
Very nice, job well done!
In BC we call that, put the backcut in first. That's what we call that
Right but you guys got manners and shit, that's what we like about you'uns. :-)
Just a play on words for a TH-cam title haha that’s definitely how we say it down here too.
Change the title to 'Polish face cut on a back leaner' :-) i'll bet it gets more traction.

Hi its Big Phil 🤟🏻 have looking for you for a year or something. Saw you in a video on Jacobs channel on how you sharpen your chain. You a great guy Phil🪵🌲 love your work brother🤟🏻
Best regards from Denmark.
Right on man! Glad you could find us on here, cheers 🍻
Pro cutting Uncle Phil.
Exelente buen trabajo,y cuidadoso 👍 saludos desde Florencia San Carlos Costa Rica
Centrato molto bravo
Expertly done Sir.
Belly cut in the direction to fall. Then back up with a saw entering wedges into the back up cut. Did with my Dad many times using chopping axe. 6 foot 6 inch peg and rake cross-cut saw, wedges and a 14 pound sledge hammer on timber up to 20 foot girth. No fiddling or mucking about.
Professional. Experience. Knowledge 👍🤝🤙🤙
Thank ya!
Falling is not just a job, it is an art.
*** Felling.
Unless you are an old geezer when falling (usually 'Falling' or 'having a Fall') is a peril and often happens in the home or at the shops.
@@anemone104 I'm not, and it's not. I've already sent the dictionary definition. One fells a tree. Then the tree falls.
@@anemone104 Cambridge Dictionary:
fell verb (CUT DOWN)
[ T ]
to cut down a tree:
A great number of trees were felled to provide space for grazing.
[ T ]
to knock someone down, especially in sports:
He eventually felled his opponent with a punch to the head.
@@ahmedjehlool It is in the UK. I'm in my 60s. if I had a fall, I'd probably still bounce. But my Auntie had a Fall in her 80s and the end came pretty quick - she bust her femur... Semantics/linguistic drift. It's a joke.
Good job,I have done that cut but didn't know that's what you call it,thanks.
Good job, but I was hoping for an explanation of what you were doing. Which way was the tree tilting and what was did you do to make it go against the tilt?
Guy is an artist! My Dad was good,but he would say this guy was an artist if he was still here.
It’s incredible to watch him work honestly, there isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not impressed by Phil.
Nice job man!
Once upon a time, the power and light company was sitting in a new power line and was hiring an extra man to set poles. A Kentuckian and a Pollock showed up for the position. Foreman showed them the layout and said the man that gets the most Poles in today gets a permanent job. They went to work and at the end of the day, the Kentuckian came in first. Foreman asked, how many you get, to which the Kentuckian replied, 7. That's pretty darn good, the foreman replied. In come the Pollock, draggin his tail; he was plum tuckered out. Well, by the looks of ya, you must of done a bunch, the foreman said. 3, I got 3, the Pollock said. Yeah I already know that Kentucky boy set 7 but he cheated. He didn't put his all the way in the ground 😅😅
Polack. Pollack (or pollock) is a marine fish common on NE Atlantic coasts. Quite a nice fish but of dubious 'commercial' quality.
Cool nice cut👍
Nice work
Nice. I've always called this 'gob last' or 'backwards'. I'd have used a 'Danish Pie' on that, which is a little different, but then I'm in the UK..... The Danish pie is a little more forgiving if you get your cut placement slightly wrong.
Perfekt. Saubere Arbeit.
Oh! (haha) I was going to say, Dude, that don’t look no different then anything else…
Nice work Phil!
A lot faster than using a jack but still safe.
Noice
'Fell' a tree. Not 'fall'.
Seen any Squatch's?
Fun to watch but could not see what he was doing on the backside.
Humboldt face cut
Do you have your back cut the same height as your face cut? I was watching a video and they say you want your back cut atleast an inch higher than the face. I thought you can cut at the same level
Labor and industries claim it needs to be 2 inches above to stop the tree from sliding backwards off the stump, but this is based on a conventional face cut taken out of the top leaving a flat stump. A Humboldt face drops the butt of the log below the top of the stump effectively stopping the tree from sliding back off the stump. Most mills and cutters worried about their work try to leave a flat face on the log for scale.
@@HubertofLiege yeah they were doing a conventional notch. I always thought level was fine
@@micdiva sometimes if your falling uphill but you want the tree to slide back down for some reason a conventional face will allow that.
This was a Humboldt face cut and level is where you want your back cut to hit your shot.
@@timberfallingcouple so how about if you use both cuts and have an open face?
4 wedge is good but 5 is better.
Let’s make it… 8
Hello brother ❤️🙏
I'm pretty sure a true "Polish back cut" would not be so noisy.
Oh please do explain
Plastic wedges are a bad idea lv seen them fly out of a log like nothing it went that far that fast l didn't see where it went l couldn't find it so ld be sticking to the old alloy 10" wedge
I like Stihl's wood-shanked ally high lifts. No good whacking them with the poll of an axe as the striking face cuts up, but with a 7lb flat-faced sledge, they're the business and you don't get flying plastic wedges.
These seem to work just fine, Phil has been using them for a decade or so. 6-7 hours a day and they’re fairly reliable.
@@timberfallingcouple ok the ones l used were yellow and there were deadly a old school logger l worked for warned me about them and he was right it was like a bullet out of a gun when you hit them in one hit to many
What's your saw make and model
Stock MS660
@@timberfallingcouple i have a stihl 036 pro, a husqvarna 359, both with 24" bars and an ms 170 that i limb with, watching you guys fell is my happy time. I'm mostly working the beetle kill lodgepole in deschutes, central oregon, nothing bigger than 28-30" at the stump. I'd love to spend a day in the big timber. The closest i get to big timber is bucking already downed ponderosa in the fremont/winema.
@@shaggisdogg right on man! Glad you enjoy our content, that’s a gorgeous area you’re talking about.
Destroying another tree that makes the very oxygen we breathe, crazy humans.
Good thing it’s a renewable resource, enjoy your paper and wood products you use every day!
All for your survival.
Damn hopefully that saw doesn't kick back there goes you're face😂😂😂😂😂
Kick back?
