The Official Work Pictures Thread

I carry logs length wise when needed with a similar bucket, fwiw.

Depending on the size of his mini, he may not have enough ass to lift them lengthwise.

What he said. By the time I raise the log in the trailer, I would tilt. A log arch type trailer is in the works

T is for Tree, or Take. Like Take the crane money.

Crazy tree. You could have gotten three ugly jul trees from that top.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

The larger top was over the house. It was doomed. I strapped the crack and woodpecker nest and got to work. Crazy tension and compression wood in those arms.

 

[Mellow]

Any idea why it was topped? And when? I'd say at least 10 or 20 years ago, right?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Husband had it topped years ago because it was close to the house. Never thought it might grow more
Then he passed. She did not care until her neighbor saw the crack and told her it was going to fall on the house.
Oh well. I guess I get to go back to do some pruning in March or something. Had it all apart, chipped and chips dropped on a custy in 4 hours. Lotta chips for the runt it was. 5 yard or so. Logs came home

Are you lifting half at a time?

Consider tongs hung from the coupler instead of the grapple if your machine is light.

 

[Patrick A]

I do use the tongs when loading on the sawmill. They work well.

Stephen: lol at the picture of that split wound-wood.

Jomo: rad show. Gotta HATE terra cotta. Deep state roofing co.

Stig: I am TOTALLYwith Mr. Beranek on this one: What’s wrong with letting our world’s most brilliant scientists just now figue out what Got figured out about a Billion years ago?

If a guy makes a bit o money off the world’s most brilliant, where’s the harm??

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Stuff I get to do on Mondays before it rains.

 

[Bermy]

Lots to do...but nice view of Mt. Wellington/kunyani

 

[ruel]

Gorgeous!

Worked for some favorite customers.

I have never seen ganoderma on red alder before.

Had a maple with a bad butt for a TIP.


Two trees down.

Luckily there was a post with a power outlet right below.

That chain reminds me of my wife’s grandmother eating a chicken neck. She’ll work on it till nothing is left but the bone. Then she throws it to the dog and he just looks at her like “what the hell you expect me to do with that”. I keep telling her the depression is over granny, let’s live a little.

Chicken wings are kind of a big thing here. I work with two guys that splinter the bones and eat/ suck the marrow. Kinda disturbing to witness, I’d have a bloody mouth.

We had a new prospective apprentice do the climbing test today.

We always take them up in a big beech, to see if they "have the right stuff".

He did.
He had a blast up there and got himself hired.
Just to make sure it isn't too easy, and because we enjoy being assholes, we always have them do it on an old sit-downer system.

 

[PCTREE]

Stig how do you feel about climbers using the zigzag whilst climbing for you?? I have a new guy that just started and he climbs on one. I feel that device is way to fragile for tree work

 

[Bodean]

sorry for interrupting but the zig zag has been recalled a few times and many pictures of them cracked are out there.

Here is a tree from work.

Anything looks fragile up against a hitchhiker!

 

[gf beranek]

Sean, that picture of the self fungi on the alder is great.

 

[pantheraba]

Cool, Stig. Your new guy looks very fit, strong and happy.

 

[SeanKroll]

I cleaned up after the Maple and alder from yesterday.

Hung 4 trees off other trees via throw line.

Got a Notch JetStep.

 

[ruel]

What's going on there Sean?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Looks like he is triangulating or vectoring the pull from two points to guide the tree into the desired lay.

 

[Jed]

Sean is fixin ta send er.

Fourty inch fir snag today

 

[flushcut]

You could almost use that hinge as a tooth brush. Fine looking hinge!
