Display wall

[Graeme McMahon]

I decided to display the equipment I have used, collected and damaged over the last 4 decades. Rather pleased how it looks and thought I would "hoist the flag" so to speak and see if there was old logging or climbing bits or gear that I could enhance the wall with.

I understand distance is an issue but I get about and freight solves that also.

Very cool!

So I'm not just a pack- rat ! Working on an arboricultural museum of my own, only about 8 years of broken worn out stuff saved so far, but i'l start calling it "the collection".


Really cool collection, awesome to see the developments/ history in a nice display

Wow Graeme yeah... that's some bad ass old gear and a yeah you're a bad ass too...

 

[Raj]

Nice!!

 

[squisher]

Thats cool.

When I had my treeco we used to display wrecked items on the wall, but then turf them after awhile. I called it 'the wall of shame'. Lol. I like your display much better though!

 

[Jonny]

We had a wall of shame too.

Very cool, Graeme. Some big changes over 40 years. So fascinating watching the tools, gear, and techniques evolve!

There is a little shame on mine as well.

Justin... I use a busted eye splice with a busted block for the guys to learn and practice attaching gear to trees...

Fine looking display!

 

[Altissimus]

Love it ... Old gear kinda tell's a story

 

[Bodean]

Old broken gear is what new people need to see.... and imagine the forces at work...

 

[flushcut]

Yup!

 

[mdvaden]

Good idea, and interesting.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, it's getting bigger.

I didn't realise how much stuff I had tucked away. Stood up some 13' logs in the shed to hang stuff from and put in the boards. Mr. Brent Lack gave kindly gave me two broad axes and more bits coming. I am having fun demonstrating our industries progession. It is sometimes forgotten or respected.

Post an update pic soon.

Good idea, and interesting.

[treebogan]

An Aluminium Hard Hat would make a nice addition to your wall.

 

[Graeme McMahon]

Yes it would. That is an important missing part "treebogan". I guess I will have to come over and locate one with some local knowledge .

I'll bring the beer for the search.

Your trip just got cheaper....
