Two days on this could have done it in a day with more ground help and cooler temps.

Yes sir 5 min from my house

Cool...I first visited the Ichetucknee in the early 70's...still fairly undiscovered then..an amazing place. Free dove to the bottom of the Jug Hole (Blue Hole?) at one of the headsprings once...that was an adventure.

It would be a nice service to the rest of us to include a link, when you talk about little known ( At least to dumb foreigners) like that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichetucknee

You are right...these give you a flavor of the site:

and this is the Jug Hole...aka as the Blue Hole...37 feet to bottom, you swim down thru a hole about 8 feet diameter...against a current that comes from an underground river that pours up through the hole...once you get thru the approx 10 foot long shaft the current is not an issue. I snorkeled down once and got a handful of shells from the bottom...very old artifacts in those holes years ago:

One of my favorite pictures from this year, chipping some very dead spruce. The dust was brutal.

 

[woodworkingboy]

That does look bad. Kind of like cleaning my shop.

 

[BIGTWIG]

If you are dusting your shop with a br600 blower, I could definitely see that!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Holy crap! I know a fellow who'd start sneezing from just looking at that pic! We nicknamed him "Spitty Spaz."

 

[pantheraba]

I had a student named William Sneeze...they called him Willie.

Calling roll was always fun..

We did a fairly old half dead Italian Cypress today, not quite as dusty but close.

That is a very cool picture. What model BB is that? You like it?

 

[Bodean]

Dead Monterey wood does that too. Awful to stand there.

Cypress....

RESPIRATORS!!!

 

[gf beranek]

Sycamore, tan oak, Bay laurel. Even green, the natural dusts and vapors of those trees when chipping them can bring a worker to their knees.

 

[BOTS]

SYCAMORE WORST EVER to chip....even with dust mask on I throw up alot

 

[SouthSoundTree]

I did some London Planetrees recently with the dual filter disk respirators ($30 at Home Depot). Blew ourselves totally off with the backpack blower. Not a problem. Dust masks don't do it.

It's bad!
