    Paul, does your crane have a computer? An operator told me recently that with the new models it's getting harder to disconnect the computer. You maybe need a special key or something. It's pretty much only independent ops that do that anymore. I don't think it's anything that they teach in...

    Cory, fill a hole, level a grade or up against an embankment, wherever there is some ground irregularity that needs leveling under an outrigger, the sandbags are very purposeful. People who use them say that they can't get along without.

    They can get to be a chore if you have to pack them around some distance, but with a crane you can move them around in bulk in a net or something.

    I've been on a crane job that went into the night. Trees along a road. Risky, it sucked. The crane company stuck it to me for the overtime as well.

    I can relate to being laughed at by the peanut gallery, Jed. It happened at a shrine tree job where there was an old outhouse with a small tank behind it in the ground with the lid ajar. I stepped right into it up to my knees. No compulsory smile to those f@ckers though, more like silence is...

    I've a 3/4" scar on my left forearm from a piece of mushroomed over steel wedge shooting back. All I saw was a red streak flying back. You wouldn't think that a glancing blow might make a piece turn red hot somehow, but that's how it worked. If hit in the eye you'd be very damaged no doubt...

    If the funds were available, I think I'd skip the Alaskan mill and go right to a Lucas or something thereabouts. An Alaskan mill will give a taste, but it's slow and taxing with a bit of Murphy's law in the mix.

    Great pics. Some steep ground there! Doesn't look like much a fun job making sense of that mess in the snow.

    Cool pics, Rico! i've seen and worked with a lot of beautiful wood over many years of furniture making, but still there is one that sticks out in my mind, a table top in someone's house made from Redwood. Just looking at it I'd get lost.

    If those somehow ended up in the sea, they'd be shipping hazards.

    Sam, Japanese Red Pine, Pinus densiflora. Getting wiped out by the beetles in mass. A little over five tons on the pick which lifted the whole lot in one shot.
