Most original objection to tree felling/work?

Not that one! Fairies live in that one! -
It's completely unraveled...I don't see this Gong Show ever coming right...Probably better just post a new thread, Woodcutter.

That's completely awesome! Actually would be feasible to incorporate that into modern climbing, just as an aid, if course. Chimney rods, or something like that. Beats trying to advance by throwing a rope coil. Of course, that would mean climbing higher than the TIP... if there was some kind of modular pole system that you could also tie into, like a pair of sliding sleeves with eyes that would ratchet up the pole. With modern materials should be easy enough to make a product that would do think of the time saving.

Well, I hope something comes up. If not, maybe it's a sign from God that you should be quitting arb and moving to a career in textiles? Ask your higher self, Woodcutter, what golden thread led you here? “And still the Weaver plies his loom, whose warp and woof is wretched Man Weaving th' unpattern'd dark design, so dark we doubt it owns a plan”

And who says spelling isn't important in the manual trades? ?

Try cleaning out the break mechanism, its probably gunk built up in there. You'll want to youtube it, and be careful of the spring popping out, need goggles. Air compressor, dishwashing brush and break cleaner will do it. Also check the clutch is clean on the outside, there could be crud baked on there as well.

How to trim branches when there is nothing above them
Haironyourchest replied to forestboy1978's topic in General chat
Polesaw, but it will be very hard or impossible to achieve perpendicular cuts to the branches. Or put up a scaffolding tower and make many small cuts. -
This explains it pretty well

You can shuffle too. Maybe better then hopping, in case you fall over.

A difficult subject...would it be fair to say that we are talking about two different things? 1. Genuine mental/emotional distress 2. Narcissistic self absorption. The problem as I see it is all this is subjective, since we cannot really ever know what it is like to be in someone else's mind...however, there must be some objective factors we can look at and agree on, to favour one category or the other. For instance, when a person who has a history of being a self-centred, entitled so-and-so (like many celebrities) complains they have some sort of mental illness, one is inclined to think its band-wagon stuff. They may actually be suffering, but maybe their suffering is a result of being chronically out of touch with reality and self-centred, that is to say, their distress is a result of their own narcissism?

Thank you! Always nice to receive complements about one's protruberence.

That was a big thing in Ireland during the mid 2000's boom, there's even a song about it.

Brings to mind a memory of bing in St Ives for the solar eclipse in '99....fell in with a troupe of young new-age busker types who had built a full on cottage on the flatbed of an old Mercedes lorry. Proper shingle roof with crooked chimney and all, shutters on the windows, steps to the ground etc. It must have weighed tons. For some reason they drove it into the middle of town, by the pier, and were blocking traffic, and were asked to move. Trying to drive back up the steep hill which is also the main street, the engine blew something and died!

Ha! Try living in a heavily wooded rural area where every swinging dick over 14 is handy with a saw, suicidally fearless, and half the population own a tractor or a digger! You'll re-evaluate the "value of the trade!" Market forces take no prisoners...

I think it's a great idea. If you can handle living in a caravan. The chap who instructed me on my courses was living in a converted army truck at a sawmill yard, rent free, for several years. He liked the lifestyle though.

Depends on the type of wood, the difficulty of the job, the conditions of clean-up and the distance from home. If the variables are favorable, it's definitely worth it. Each instance must be assessed seperatly. Discounts for the timber figure into the bargain if it's payed work. All depends. Most of the cost to you will be road haulage, in time, fuel and wear and tear. And processing.

Cardiac arrest is when the hearth starts fibrillating - which is to say, vibrating and rippling, as opposed to beating erratically. An erratic weak beat is still able to support life, but fibrillation is pretty much game over, unless caught in time - hence the defibrillator.

Cheers dude, fine now, was pretty sore for three days or so. Mine has a dead-mans-handle, the problem was my arm got caught and twisted in such a way that it held the handle down - in the drive position - as I reversed, and thus I couldn't pull my arm out or stop the machine. The Grillo has brass bushings instead of bearings on the sprocket and idlers, with grease nipples, so it should have great longevity if you use moly grease. I'd love to have bought the Grillo, just out of my price range. Will be moving a load of cut timber out of a pretty swampy area soon, will document on vid and post.

That's OK, a lot of people don't...

One would be tempted to say a few concrete blocks plus some bits of metal, pre-weighed on a bathroom scale, however, the 'force' has to be applied perpendicular to the top of the track, and the track is inclined at an angle, so 45.5kg if weight will not equate to 45.5 kg of force. You will need to get a bathroom scale, and strap or tape it to the top of the track, then right up a car jack to the surface of the scale and give it something to push against - probably part of the machine, but maybe improvise with g-clamps, bits of wood etc. Crank the jack untill you get 45.5 kg in the scale.

Lets find out who did it and DOX them!!

MS-11 Rapid polymer adhesive and sealant. Fast initial grip and first cure in minutes, fully cured in 24 hours. I used it couple of weeks ago to glue my leather Haix workboots back together, the seams had spilt on the sides exposing the liner. Didn't think it would work, but it really did, they are like new, mind you I really lathered it on. Its tenacious stuff.
