How to Cut Down a Tree
It would be hard to name a more dangerous DIY project than felling a big tree. There's the obvious risk of getting crushed by a falling tree, but you could also have your melon crushed if a big limb shook loose from above. Trees can twist as they fall and make all kinds of other unexpected moves. Add a chain saw to the mix, and—well, you get the idea. It's not a job for the careless, the reckless or the faint-of-heart. Our pro with 30 years experience shares tips to protect against injury.
