Do you believe in Destiny? was we born with an agenda?
tuttle replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
Pullies, levers and rope...... Mechanical advantage techniques to move, remove and dismantle things. are the only things on mind.... -
nice work, your graphic and fine art are good, excellent authentic finish on the shrooms. think carving needs new blood steering away from eagles and bears
-
i'm not sure about stump grinding, seen and used one, but seems very time consuming. What I do is dig a moat around the stump and cut it below ground level, customers are always chuft that its gone

try Ran tool hire in barry, south wales 01446 737301

I started using it for light rigging, pushed it a bit with some heavy bits of scots pine, i'm not scared to use it on anything now. Think the friction is a misconception and I have the proof.
-
is that a x10 calc? maybe the rope was flawed in someway. The dyneema is rated at 12.5T minus the whoopie set at 40%, so at best you'd want 8 slings to hold that up:001_rolleyes:
-
so do you mean 6ft pieces when chogging down? by 18" diameter?
-
I just wonder what the heaviest drop people do on a regular basis, plus what the average drop is? considering you may have to give it a push. 80kg to 120kgs is a fair sized lump, plus the groundie may just be able to roll it:lol:
-
depends what your dropping. Tell me: whats your aim when rigging? 250kg or 1000kg?
-
this is my dyneema sling, just as strong, and in your back pocket:thumbup:
-
here are the pics, it is amazing and better then 9mm tenex by far.......
-
try it like a safety belt thing, it may not grip but a sudden sharp movement will cause it to lock-up. Only a thought as I only put 2 wraps and 2 braids.
-
tomorrow i will post pics of the slings, they are unbeatable for what they are, give them a try:thumbup:
-
how did it melt? for fun, I put the sling around the tree, with pulley attached, did nothing special, left it a bit slack, dropped 10 lumps. checked it, not a blemish.....
-
I use amsteel 11mm whoopie slings, they work great and totally unaffected by dynamic rigging. I would like someone else to use the same to prove the point. Some video evidence coming soon......
-
still can't work it out, have you got a picture?
-
I think this thread is great, could do with a few more detailed sketches. I have a couple of questions: 1. Dynamic rigging? is it governed by the MBS of your kit? or lower depending on size? for example is 11mm rope lowering 80kg lumps with a 2ft drop classed as dynamic? 2. If you not using pulleys and rigging slings, how would you go about lowering the stem pieces when dismantling? as there is no natural crotch remaining etc.

think about 'go-ape' in france the setups are much better. build tree houses, no planning required. check out this resort - Unique
-
nice job, shame that your op has not made good points bar mine. dropped loads on dynamic rigging using dyneema, not a problem with the rope and not a burn in sight, don't know what all the fuss is about
-
its not resistant to heat, but it absorbs it and slows the progress, thats why its in bulletproof vests, motorcycle jeans and chainsaw trousers.
-
great job, I think you should look into getting a mini-mattock, there are some good quality ones out there.
-
so did just a small area seal itself to the dinasorb? because dyneema has amazing heat absorption, deflecting the friction heat, was it just a small amount?
-
your a good splicer, would love to see your reaction to using Dyneema.
