  1. Must be something to do with my iPad's settings Jim as it will not play through the app either.
  2. 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
  3. A wide face cut will keep it closer to the stem
  4. 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
  5. Good job & I'm glad it went well
  6. Nice, but I prefer the look of the new Rangers

    560xp recoil

    You broke more than the top cover : I will give you the full list when I get back in
  8. Nice Reg - Have a good Christmas
  9. Great pic Mario - gotta head back to Oregon/Nor Cal again this year
  10. If your not prepared to be reasonable financially - just don't do it & enjoy the hols Double time seems sensible for xmas/bank hols
  11. Some decent sized trees there Jim - good job
  12. You can damage them through abuse - what can't be? Great bit of kit IMO
  13. 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.
  14. Is that a nimrod? Makes a change for sure
  15. Different Gord If I remember correctly. Bloody big tree
  16. Can see why you did not put that in the " Rate my hinge " thread
  17. 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.
  18. How often do you achieve 4" lift with wedges?
  19. Great job Stevie. Always wanted one of these ; Silvey Hi-Jacker Tree Jack | Silvey Chaingrinder - Medford Oregon
  20. 30 pies a day
  21. SIPS make some well constructed kit.
  22. I have had the HH quite a long time now & have tried a lot of variations . The best & most consistent set/up I have found is the original with the beeline. Thinner cord was too twitchy with sry. The vt required too much attention on ddrt & was too agressive on srt & the Knut I found was too difficult to release. Just my finding
  23. We recently changed up to a Bandit after our 250 fell apart. You loose the turntable, but it is a step up in construction & performance imho
  24. I don't understand what you are trying to say.
