Might come in handy if you have to cut down a tree and have it fall exactly where you want it.

Good! Another overgrown Cyphophoenix elegans removed. Way too many of these planted in the neighborhoods. Dropping all their seed everywhere.......

Thats a great way to do it. Im gonna start cutting down all my stuff right now.

If someone does try this, be very careful while cutting with the tip. the top 1/4 area of the chainsaw tip is the most dangerous area.

Grateful to have what I have, Les amis de mes amis sont mes amis!

I'm a little skeptical. I don't know if I would want to try that on anything other than a very straight palm tree. If the palm tree had a little bit of a lean to it, then I wonder if that technique would work. At least he didn't break the handle off of that puny little framing hammer when he pounded the big wedge with it.

Worked great that time.

Not so sure about a giant mega-washy of doom, wanting to fall backwards.

I hate seeing any palm cut down. But that is an unusual technique.
