He works all night and he sleeps all day!
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

How do they cut off all the branches of a tree that tall while it's still standing? I know the modern machines make a short work of it, but curious how it was done before the advancements.
There's a dude at the top of the tree in this image.
A follow up question (not in particular to you) - would it not be easier to first cut the base of tree - let it fall, and then chop the branches away - is it because with branches - trees would not fall easily or some thing like that, or that the fall would not be predictable enough, and may pose a larger danger (maybe because of harder to predict mass distribution, or some pivot points forming while falling, and that will disturb everything)
I think it might also splinter/break the log if it were to fall from such a great height, which could ruin some wood that's intended for milling.
this seems logical, but I think we can try to tie it with long ropes and atleast try to break the fall. It still seems safer than letting large branches fall from sky.
What would you tie it to otherwise? This way they can lower larger chunks by using the top of the trunk as a pulley.
I feel like I watched a documentary on this once and it was the safety bit... But I'd be curious if anyone comes in and tells me I'm wrong
This user is plan wrong. I have no evidence of this, nor do I believe my statement to be true but it needed to be said.
Thanks mate
I'm not sure why they would go through all that effort. Would the branches cushion the fall and prevent the trunk from snapping or sintering on impact? And then they can remove the branches safely on the ground.
Removing the branches safely from the ground is easier said than done. Now all of those branches are under tension, and he didn't have a chainsaw to help him out.
Oh wow! Didn't even notice, thank you!
Look at this dude.
Wtf 😬
