That's how I imagined you did it, although I thought the pants would be pink.

Great pj's! And thanks for the tutorial... did you learn this method by combining techniques from Walter Pall and Daniel Robinson? ...

Seriously, I respect both of these men very much... but I couldn't resist the joke.

...And for all you newbies out there who might be interested in trying this procedure, please note...Al keeps BOTH hands on the power tool at all times...great technique! I only wish he had taken the time to put on proper ear and eye protection...safety first.

I think I finally understand the difference between pruning and hedging.

Thank you Al for revealing one of the secrets to how you banzai your trees. Your unselfishness helps everyone get better at banzaiing!

There is a guy on Youtube that takes one of these and puts a model airplane gas engine on it. When he gets it all done (in two videos) he cuts some scrap wood. It doesn't cut very well.

Actually guys, I don't use a chain saw on my trees, only the hedge pruner. The chainsaw leaves way to rough of a cut!

All that now needs explaining is pinching

I have the skiptooth chain for hedge trimming on it.
