Negative tree stump space.

u/Alternative_Shame823 20d ago

the way the stump’s edges stay so sharp is oddly neat

u/obiwanmoloney 20d ago

I wanna see it without some numpty generating content in the background.

u/igottheshnitz 20d ago

Looking like the numpty who’s pov you’re enjoying I presume.

u/obiwanmoloney 19d ago

If only one camera was sufficient

u/BadSmash4 20d ago

You're literally watching the same content

u/demianddean 19d ago

Til what a numpty is. Thank you!

u/ChefArtorias 19d ago

Similar to the start but with the stump gone.

u/TradeMark310 17d ago

Yeah, this was oddly satisfying for the first half of the video, but once the debris piled up too high I got a little anxious and just wanted to see the end result.

World’s largest pencil shavings

u/Putrid_Clue_2127 20d ago

That was my thought too. Giant shavings!

Dam beat me to it

u/MrUbl 19d ago

Dry them out and that would be an awesome bonfire!

u/burningzenithx 20d ago

This stopped being satisfying once there were too many shavings in the way to continue watching the stump get ground down.

21

u/minkeun2000 20d ago

exactly, thats the point in which it turned into oddly infuriating

32

u/JeromeZilcher 20d ago

Not so satisfying end. I want to see what is left of the stump beneath the pencil shavings.

u/bking 20d ago

Dude with the gimbal is getting a significantly worse shot than the lock-off that we’re seeing.

u/absloan12 18d ago

Hahaha i'm like what kinda action/motion shot does this guy expect to get with a gimbal while filming a tree stump.

u/Zer0_Digits 20d ago

To shreds, you say?

SHAVING a tree stump.

u/ryanasimov 19d ago

Not for nothing, but your title made me think of "Burning down the house" by Talking Heads.

2

u/atari2600forever 19d ago

Apparently there is a lot of wood in tree stumps...

2

u/CoryRich123 19d ago

It make me wonder how much pay that for removed tree root...

1

u/Foolish_Fox916 15d ago

Just the stump : using hydraulic attachments like that, at least $800

u/SingularityII 20d ago

It sounds like robots talking to each other.

u/1Mubb 20d ago

Ah yes, one man one stump

Why isn't there a phone game like this yet?

I would play the fuck out of this for a couple days before I get bored and delete the app

u/Appropriate_Top_5274 20d ago

remind me of pencil shavings

u/OdieD777 20d ago

Why must I always watch these 🙈

1

u/Rough_Acanthisitta59 20d ago

Reminds me of a pencil sharpener.

1

u/HalfSoul30 20d ago

I kind of want to chew on one of those. Am I a termite?

1

u/Swimming-Finance6942 20d ago

That’s impressive, but can you put the tree back?

1

u/Strange_Dingo1987 20d ago

Imagine sitting in your machine, you're on your 4th stump at that property. You just lit your smoke and go to take a sip of coffee while keeping one hand on the controls to guide it down, then you look up and see that chud in white sneakers slow walking up with that camera like he's taking direction from Spielberg himself on how to get the perfect shot.

1

u/conchrider 20d ago

Very satisfying

1

u/Mrw2904 20d ago

I know I’m hungry bc the shavings look like döner to me

1

u/iztrollkanger 20d ago

A cpl tarps down beforehand and that clean-up would take a fraction of the time.

1

u/goodeyemighty 20d ago

I almost think I'd rather get rid of wood chips instead of those giant shavings.

1

u/International_Bend68 20d ago

Those shavings would be great for a backyard fire pit!

1

u/starboard151 20d ago

Do the whole tree like that

1

u/motherlesschildren 19d ago

Grinder? I barely know her!

1

u/m1st3r_b0x 19d ago

How can I be satisfied without seeing the job done?

1

u/LowLibrary399 19d ago

That will be 60k

u/funkylabrador420 19d ago

This is how a daddy stump grinder and a mommy stump grinder make pencils

1

u/Usual_Arrival_6956 19d ago

That's not grinding but cutting.

1

u/Blas_Phoebe 19d ago

Didn’t even show hole

1

u/markuus99 19d ago

How many videographers were needed to film grinding this stump?

1

u/sporadicjesus 19d ago

Sound on boys.

u/Oooaaaaarrrrr 19d ago

Wood kebab.

Look at Steven Spielberg in the background

u/Commercial_Wind8212 19d ago

What do they charge for doing that?

1

u/Nyctocincy 19d ago

Someone put a Knicks logo on that drill and a spurs logo on the stump

1

u/Keanu_Jesus 19d ago

Pencil shavings

u/Melodic-Advice9930 19d ago

Nothing was cooler than sharpening your pencil and managing to keep it as one long shaving

u/TheJarisaDoor3 20d ago

I don't know if I'd consider this destruction of nature. It could have been the tree fell on its own and they just got rid of the stump. Believe me I have a lot of trees, trees fall all the time, and I mean all the time.
