It would be cool if cameras could angle-stamp pics like date-stamping.

How about east coast/ midwest/ southern (might be feller-buncher loblolly pines or something) logging? How long do people cut/ commute?

Still makes for a long day, from what I'm told, travel to the woods and back.

How many hours of cutting on either side, Squish?

People who are always concerned about losing their job and a company's rep over crushing a house are obligated to play it safe, all the time. Work away from targets enough, with wedges, and you learn a ton about hinges and hinging. If a person is always pulling with a rope, especially someone...

Gut to have enough, not way more than enough fibers in the right places, not the wrong ones. Stig mentioned getting Ash, against barber chairs.

Root diseased trees with hollows--- wider or more hinge fibers higher up?

When landscrapers plant them 6" too deep, it takes a long time for buttress roots to show.

Root Disease?

Fascinating, and what a world-away. The scale of those trees is hard to imagine. I used to live in dry forest, in the Sierra Nevadas, Lake Tahoe way. There, the fire-return interval is 7-12 years. Western Washington, low level, near the coast is more like 400-500 years, naturally. Fire is an...

Graeme, is it about correct that stand-replacing bush fires wipe out eucs with a fire-return interval of about 80 years on average, so eucs haven't evolved a lot of CODIT capacity, as fire doesn't care about decay-stopping chemicals?

Looks like a lower than bore-cut, backstrap-release (looks like scissors with the two parellel cuts going past one-another. Looks like a small bit of the backstrap is cut, then tons of fiber-pull from the holding wood of the backstrap. Is that so, G? With that high-back-cut, it looks like...

There are ones with barbs on one side. Is that what you're talking about, B? My use is limited with them. Fully agree on multiple sets. At State Parks we were regularly beating trees over, big or small. Since we didn't do clean up, we didn't set ropes very often, then have to cut them out from...

There are barbed wedges. Pound in, but not pop back out. If you're beating hard enough, you'll end up flattening the barbs.

Everyone has saw chips! Never thought of that. Thanks, B for the old-school knowledge.

99% of the time, the old-fashioned way is quick, easy, and effective. Doing it the new way to practice some of that 99% percent will get you ready for when its that 1% of the time.

Barbed wedges? Maybe what Kyle was referring to...if you plunge in about an inch or less below the center of your backcut, you can sink a wedge into that plunge cut, and one directly above it in the back-cut, and have the stacking effect without plastic on plastic. This works for three...

Calculated at today's labor rates, right. 15 years ago, $6.72 minimum wage, now $11. Is it 1.5M for the full machine, or the sticker laying machine? Do you have product-loss from uneven sticking?

With that much machinery, why aren't the stickers mechanized?

What it the guideline for sticker thickness to material thickness?
