    I agree with the other guy, I would have liked to see him use the wedge. Does he use it himself as he is using the chainsaw? It seems it would take a second person hammer the wedge as one was using the saw. Is the wedge you cut out about 4"? I'm a single girl and live on the Gulf Coast. Hurricanes demanded that I learn how to use a chainsaw, I'm new at this so forgive my ignorance. Otherwise I think the videos are great! Thank you

    It's good that he explains a felling wedge. However... why didn't he actually USE it?

    During my High School years, "Wedgies" formed an important part of my education. Plastic was definitely preferred over metal.
