It is correct, so if you keep adding pulleys & lines you will snap your anchor point. Think, we use this function to a positive use I.e when we set up mechanical advantage with a 5 to 1 pulley system to pull a tree over. Make sense?
-
If one ton is suspended from the pulley, an equivilant force is acting on the fixed point to keep it motionless. So you are correct - a one ton load on either leg will place a load of 2 tons onthe pulley - doubling it

Honey Brothers did, but I cannot see it now. Buxtons do I think

Huge pick.

I do tree work - simples.

Nice job as usual Reg I do have a couple of questions; You have a great talent for landing logs flat. Do you work instinctively or work length ratios & angles? Secondly, you seem to work after dark on quite a few occasions. Is this cultural in Canada as in the UK, excluding storm work, I only put the head torch on a few times a year & seldom for felling or climbing.

They are athletes for sure. Perhaps misguided but talented all the same

Must be something to do with my iPad's settings Jim as it will not play through the app either.

Hi Reg. Would it be a lot of trouble to make the vid playable on mobile devices etc? I cannot view it on the iPad

A wide face cut will keep it closer to the stem

Good job Reg, It's a great tool to have in the box indeed. I try & place the back-cut level with the front cut - less vertical wood to split in the hinge (you can retain a bigger hinge ), less chance of over cutting & having your saw taken with the piece & easier to see & judge such a fine hinge - hope that all makes sense

Good job & I'm glad it went well
-
Nice, but I prefer the look of the new Rangers

You broke more than the top cover : I will give you the full list when I get back in

Nice Reg - Have a good Christmas

Great pic Mario - gotta head back to Oregon/Nor Cal again this year

Hypothetical Question Chrismas Day Call Out ?
Pete Mctree replied to D A Tree Surgeons's topic in General chat
If your not prepared to be reasonable financially - just don't do it & enjoy the hols Double time seems sensible for xmas/bank hols -
Some decent sized trees there Jim - good job
-
You can damage them through abuse - what can't be? Great bit of kit IMO
-
I use both powered & silky pole saws when needed. "I'm sorry i don't have the purity of ethics to climb out further over those those phone lines, I'll just cut the branch from here, using less effort & taking less time" ":thumbup: Joking aside, every tool has it's place - it's choosing the time & place to optimise it's use that is the hard part.
-
Is that a nimrod? Makes a change for sure
-
Different Gord If I remember correctly. Bloody big tree
-
Can see why you did not put that in the " Rate my hinge " thread
-
It is a cut of convenience for me. I am not skilled enough to use it in a critical situation, despite my increased success with the cut.

How often do you achieve 4" lift with wedges?
