    Machining/welding/millwright…molten metal

    Euc broke a customer’s mighty big old heavy splitter. Coincidentally, the Mike Abatti in the news.

    The New Offical Mutts of the House thread

    I like most decently behaved dogs, we had outside dogs as a kid, and my mom had a good little poodle. Unfortunately, we are all allergic to anything that sheds and getting a dog house trained etc., and having it cared for while we are often gone is probably not worth it. We dog sat a golden...

    Might have found a use for palms

    About the only way to get rid of palm “wood” is the landfill. It doesn’t burn well at all. Maybe if ripped into tiny pieces. I think it’s hard on chippers. I have some good sized trunks I’ve been staring at trying to figure out what to do with them. I ripped one into some slabs, maybe to...

    Bridge lengths

    Have you considered an adjustable bridge? I have tied a shorter bridge for spar work, but found it to be unnecessary.

    Yes, Burnham, avoiding the Circle of Death. Coos Bay. Deep sapwood cuts. Bore out the holding wood, leading a trigger/ back-strap. Gut the hinge. Golden triangle.

    Just attaching both ends of that lanyard to the center point/bridge on his harness would have kept him from getting squished. But of course, he'd need to have assessed the barberchair risk accurately to make that decision.

    @Gypo Interesting discussion on this topic in the comments of this IG post, found in the comment starting "Earth First...."

    Bridge lengths

    Hiya Wilson! I go by Kaveman in the real world too. I also happen to work for @CurSedVoyce. I have to agree with @Burnham, get experience. Run what you brung till you get a proper feel for things. Then start changing stuff. I climbed Ponderosa, almost exclusively for 20 years before I came...

    That’s my question. Makes me like my bucket 😆 That was suggested. Also “climb high, small tops, small problems”. He said he had already taken i think 4 tops out of the tree without issue. Maybe take some head weight off the top? Maybe a deeper face, boring seems like hazardous hassle while...

    Thoughts on what he might have done differently? Nip the corners ( ends of hinge ) first?
