The Official Work Pictures Thread

I feel that Burnham, whom I respect a lot, would like to say that the loops here are too narrow again, but as you can see, this option works flawlessly.

 

[Burnham]

Loops is the same as hinges, I think?

It worked, yes. But it was not challenged, with such simple short straight spars to fall.

I also respect your work, Max. I never in a hundred years would be comfortable working in the tight quarters surrounded by high value targets, as you deal with every day.

Just a few pics from the last couple weeks. Nothing to exciting.

That’s as nice log hanging!

 

[Bermy]

Four in one

 

[Maximalist]

I wonder what this method is called?

 

[stig]

Since it is not logging, a tear out doesn't matter.
Even in logging, that one is not in the log, so same thing applies.

Cypress is some stringy shit at that age.

 

[Bermy]

Yep, I saw that after, I should have nipped the sides, but hey, a 12,000lb winch doesn't care.
Last tree of the day, I got a bit lazy.

Technically work...haha. Some humpback whales on the move after bubble feeding. We where on on way to Zarembo island to clear the last of some winter storm blowdown trees across one of the roads.

Must have been amazing to see in person, especially with the serene backdrop.

Just another day in the life Mike (grin). Always like seeing whales and I really like when it happens when we have guests onboard. We are hosting an
international volunteer couple from England currently. They helped us today to clear the blowdown trees.

Volunteering there from here looks mighty fine this time of year.

Rich, I dunno the science but I’d have a shackle on each of those slings for the log pick.
Nylon on nylon w weight seems like it could cut. My little opinion.

edit…. Better bend radius.. less friction on steel clevis than nylon v nylon..

That tear out would be a trip on your flip line.

 

[Bermy]

The tear out was at 1.5m,they were felled while I had my feet on the ground.

Yesterday we moved a damaged dock back to town for repairs. It was about a four hour push.

Had fun dealing with a ~85' Red Maple that got toppled in the microburst that came through here this past Tuesday. Went over circular driveway and whacked half an 8-stem Jap Maple and bisected a Eastem Red Cedar. Myself, junior and part timer made quick work in the ungodly heat and humidity clearing it out. Junior was good enough to get some pics of the boss...

I reckon those little Mechwarrior machines must be pretty invaluable

 

[BeerGeek]

Loves me my Dingo; would have gotten out of the business if it wasn't for that thing and all it does.

A mini skid is absolutely invaluable to a tree service. They will pay for themselves very quickly.

 

[Maximalist]

I cut down some trees today. This pine tree was the most interesting - a lot of wires, a slope towards the building and a fairly strong wind. In general, everything is as I like it -

@treebilly. Is this sling configuration sometimes called “the handshake?” @Tree09 was talking about that and I could not find a picture of it online.

 

[lxskllr]

Andrey, how'd you get out on that limb without dragging your line across the electric?

No, not the secret hand shake
