The Official Work Pictures Thread

Feast or famine on the workpics.
Long dead Sweet chestnut to get on the floor.

If that you or your climber, Mick?

Me, he’s not ready for stuff like this yet.

 

[SeanKroll]

That was my guess about who and why.

 

[SeanKroll]

In the picture with the face-cut, are you setting up to pull against the lean or...?

 

[Burnham]

I wondered about that face cut myself.

Big wood there, @Mick! Nice work.

 

[Kaveman]

Kewl tree @Mick!

Don't look like a fun day in gaffs! Leany trees suck!

I'd probably swear less if I just sharpened my picks...

Either way, Hell Yeah!

How's life under the steely skies of France?

Yes looks funny.
Basically I went through as far as I could with a 572. Then did a gob on both sides and one in front of me so I could slide the saw further and reach the back wood.
The saw was razor sharp, the wood was easy cutting, it’s not something I’ve done before, I just was looking for ways to avoid crabbing around the underside.
Does that make sense?

 

[SeanKroll]

Yes. Makes sense!

[/QUOTE]

This phase, the living in the deep countryside, living quite isolated lives (socially speaking) is approaching the end.
62 in a month and looking at two or three more years before I pull the plug, sell the gear, give the phone numbers to the lad (if he still works for me that is) and head to pastures new. The wife works, earns more than me in fact, so if we can time it right it’ll be a smooth transition.

If I understand right, I have done similar breaking forky codom trees down when I can’t get to the bottom or don’t want to stand under it. Plunge 20” 346 in from the top, bury thru. Swing back and forth to cut the back or bottom side like gutting a hinge. Then cut the remaining side down from the top. Works a treat.

Well….sorta (he said unconvincingly not really understanding)

Ok, no it’s nothing like that.

Now I don’t understand 😆

Well, what did you expect?
