Perfect tree felling between two fenceposts - GIF

Tree fellings make for common fail videos on the net, but I have been liking these perfect takedowns recently.




I like how he instinctively wipes the sweat off his "brow" afterwards - through his hardhat!

Not having cut a felling hinge he is lucky the tree actually fell in the desired direction those ropes would not have been enough to have kept it from rotating and falling to one side

There was a hinge. A small one that he cut even smaller as the tree was falling. Not a good idea. Your right the hinge being so small the base could have gone where it may if things had hit the fan.

Looks like a notch further up the tree too....possibly for clearance of the buildings eave?

Looks like he had been called out to do something about a dead tree but before he could even set out his cone the tree solved its own problem so he just tossed the cone in exasperation.
As if to say Oh no use worrying about it now

What a rotten thing to happen.

I've watched it and watched it and cannot see anyone felling that tree, it looks like it just fell by itself luckily the only damage was teh glass patio table top
