Jeeez, tighty.... Nice work!
Hell, steller shots from everyone..

 

[SeanKroll]

Good work fellers!

Jed---- have you tried self-zipping rather than self lowering? Don't know if you could have done it there.

 

[Burnham]

Hateful tight working conditions, Sam. Good on you and your crew.

Nice show, Jay.

 

[Sgriff]

I suppose you were documenting those broken boards BEFORE you did the tree work?

Nah,actually just to show y'all lol,been a while since I put up any pictures. At least the place had a good view.
We nailed two layers of plywood on it and went about our business,definitely couldn't haul any debris across it in its original condition...

 

[MasterBlaster]

Great run of some nice shots!

All I have to post are cedar fence posts being split

 

[bstewert]

Yes Bob, I just bought a 20" carbide for $95.

Have you used them before?

 

[sotc]

Few times over the years. Cut a tree with a T post inside it once.

 

[Limbrat]

Very nice post Willie

 

[PCTREE]

Man don't think I've ever seen a cedar log that nice before

A couple old-time logging pics for Jed. More for you later. Great work pics Jed, Woodworkingboy, and Sgriff. You guys a true pro's

 

[Sgriff]

Thanks All😁
look like them gonna be some badass posts Willie!

Epic pictures there Rico,hard to believe really (on so many different levels).

 

[squisher]

Stellar run of pics everyone. You guys are killing it.

I concur. Some great pictures, old and new.

Today's job was a few bits and pieces to trim and take out and an absolutely stunning stone dead Sweet Chestnut tree to monolith at 15metres.

The tree was in woodland we just had to make safe as it was within. Falling distance of one of the most expensive wedding venues in the south of England. Well, the car park at least.

Luckily we had a 34m Bronto lift with us. Stacked in woodland for habitat.

Pretty miserable day weather wise, hence my look in the first shot. My mood soon cleared after a phone call and me accepting a decent offer on my house.

Woo-hoo, I might actually have some money to spend on kit when I get to Norway.

Happy daze!

Really, I thought it was pretty knotty, mediocre at best but fine for posts.

 

[Mick!]

Great run of pics all.

Well done on the offer Rich, don't count your chickens though...

It is amazing how much difference the relatively short distance from here to England makes, treewise.
Could'n find a Sweet chestnut ( Castaneum sativa?) like that around here.
That was really fine looking,like a wood sculpture, pity it had to be cut down.

I know mate. It can change shape for all sorts of reasons. Fingers crossed.

Yes, Stig. Once I got over the understory and up in the MEWp I thought the same. It looked pretty, I hadn't realised when we were at the base that it had shed most of the bark. You could see the stag horns but not the trunks from the ground. It was a Beast at ground level as well.

 

[woodworkingboy]

What kind of tree is that exactly? Beetle Bailey dose not ring any bells.(acacia baileyana?)
Any pick weights?

Sam, Japanese Red Pine, Pinus densiflora. Getting wiped out by the beetles in mass.
A little over five tons on the pick which lifted the whole lot in one shot.

 

[Levi]

Great photos all!

Rich, nice to read you. I always enjoy the photos from overseas, the different kinds of equipment and vehicles are very interesting to me.

Jay, the little truck with the big logs, that's a great photo.

 

[Levi]

Hey levi, where ya been brother!!

Rico, nice pics. The 4th one reminds me of something from the book High Climbers and Timber Fallers by Gerry B, fantastic book, have you had the pleasure of reading it?

Hey Cory! I've been at the circus, but it's left town now so I'm back to the daily grind.

 

[cory]

Lemme guess, you're the lion tamer?!?

 

[cory]

Hows Warchild doing? I think we can call him that here, we're among friends, eh?

 

[Levi]

Ha! Yep, he's kickin ass. He almost made it through a whole day of work with us today, but he had to poop so mom came and picked him up early

 

[cory]

Lolol!!

She'd be angry if you had him do it back of chip truck.
