Congrats on making it this far. I thought Croatia could go far when I saw them in the first round, so we shall see soon. In my opinion Belgium has the best goalie.

MAKITA’S 18V LXT BRUSHLESS POWER CUTS WHEELBARROW EFFORT
surveyor replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
A two front wheel design would be much more stable. I have a push barrow with two wheels and it is very stable. -
Dad and I built a fireplace in his log cabin and used the 2" required gap around the firebox, in conjunction with a forced air fan to try to draw heat into the room, but only had limited success with that. So now have replaced the fireplace with a wood pellet burning stove which draws outside air and am quite pleased with it. It will fire up and shut down at any pre-determined time and only needs the hopper filled once a day. Here is the fireplace before the change, notice the gaps on either side of the firebox, and the air vents above the mantle.

Very nice! Love it. Did you try India ink on the scrolling? The white is Bone and the solid black is? I once made a non folding knife out of an old mill bastard file, using the tang end to fasten layers of leather with a brass butt and brass hilt for the handle end. That knife had a marvelous edge.

We have a regular red cedar mantle, with red cedar boards on the gable , left with the rough edges, which you can just see above in the picture of our hand built log home. The cedar on the gable are untreated with any finish, and are now 35 years in place.

Wish I could buy one from you! I have an 8' x 8' table I made in our front yard that we use all the time, but yours will be so sweet and I bet valuable.

Neat. What do you plan to make with the slabs? One idea springs to mind : )
-
OK, Thank you.

What happened to the knot and hitch catagory?

Thanks for sharing. Were so many trees cut this way historically for livestock feed? (reading from your previous post)

Suprisingly a green balsa log barely floats.

You can customize the look of the layout of this new site, to be quite similar to the old site. I have the threads "condensed", and always showing recent posts from every category.

I don't think they've done much of this before

Was that a leech I saw -
For what it's worth, I bought a survey business, albeit not for this much cash, but also inherited the vehicle payments and the major instrument payments, and it was very valuable to inherit the phone number particularly. It enabled me to have a steady flow of work from the get go. This enabled me to pay off all my debts associated with the business after about a year. Of course I bought the business from the owner, who had been my boss.

Thanks Rich. There are indeed many videos now on youtube, maybe search there with the words "compact Bulldog Bone". I would add that I now make the Bone with an adjustable bollard, which is moved with a stainless steel captive machine screw, very much like the chain on a chainsaw is adjusted, tighter or looser.

The BOLA works well with the right rope for progress capture. It has to be threaded and Rei installed a small non locking biner (not my doing) in place of the teardrop at the top. The bottom teardrop can be replaced with a RE Nano swivel if desired, but I rivet them in place for the BOLA which does not use cotters. [ame] [/ame]

<p>Hello Gerd, I do still make the adjustable and standard Bones. I am down to one adjustable Bone right now, and it is spoken for. The adjustable Bone is 295.00 US + 40.00 s/h to the UK, with signed disclaimer. I could make you the standard Bone with 3 interchangeable bollards (requires tools) for 260.00 + s/h. I should have parts for the adjustable Bone in about 3 weeks. My email is <a href="mailto:" rel="">[email protected]</a></p>

Here is an email I have received from an adjustable Bulldog Bone user. Do not try to adjust the bollard while weighted. "Hy Gordon, I learned something important about the new adjustable toparm today! Don't adjust it when hanging on the Bdb, because that way you'll screw out not only the bolt but also the nut. When adjusting the bone, the nut has to move (in order to keep it in place). I didn't realize that and as my bone kept slipping I tried to adjust it... until the bolt was out of the bollard! [IMG] Nothing happened, I just wanted to let you know to keep an eye on the position of the nut! Kevin"

Nice work, love it.

Here is a picture of what has been referred to as the BDB XL, which seems to suit this Bone. It has a 5/8" dia. x 0.58"wide steel bollard from a size 80 roller link on the top arm, with a short pivot length and short Hook end arms like the bottom arms. This Bone is a dedicated Vortex use SRT device. I have removed a wee bit of material (0.035") at the snap swivel link, which makes it easier to load the fat Vortex line. It also has a stainless steel and nylon standoff at the top of the spine to hold the shorter top arm from collapsing too much.
-
The difference with the Bones may be that Dave has an early Bone. The later Bones have a groove at the bottom of the spine which eases the rope through in a straighter path when slacked.
-
I believe what may be happening is the top arm is over centering on a straight line as measured from the climbers weight and the plumb line above the device. When fully weighted the rope becomes stiff, and it is had to unbend the top bend in the rope until it gets past the centerline.

Bull Dog Bone thread. BDB.

I don't own the HTP but I have tried the Eldrid 11.1 mm with the adjustable Bone and it works with my weight.
