Overgrown Oak Tree Trimming W/Handtools | Another Avoidable Mistake

Oh yeah, and I almost cut off my thumb.

When your oak tree is so overgrown that you couldn't crawl under it if you wanted to, there is only one thing to do. TRIM IT. As I demonstrate, it is doable with handtools, but not ideal. This job, which took just around an hour start to finish, was done for a friend and for some reason that made me think about it differently, from examining the job to completing it. I took the bare minimum tools, which probably quadrupled my job time, and I didn't fully examine the tree, so I underestimated how high and thick some of the branches to be cut were.

Trimming this overgrown oak tree was done using a set of Fiskars loppers that actually seized up on me after two cuts, a Fiskars hand saw, and a pair of ECHO hand pruners.
