.... yeah, Sean, great points....I'm slow... and can be lazy..... when rain lets up tomorrow am planning on sanding down the flaking paint on the sides and use up my remaining rattle can of white paint. .... in fact when I'm out today I'll stop by Lowes and pick up more cans enough to finish the...

thanks Jonny. I've been using the Oregon .025 "saddle" type raker gauge exclusively, but recently tried the Husqvarna "single tooth" guide, which may have made them lower. I'm thinking I may have filed out the gullets too much on some of them causing too much of a beak. Am thinking about...

...... yeah, I know.... but because in large part to folks' here comments... tree is safely on ground. self-assessment... THE BAD AND/OR UGLY * adrenaline/heart/respiration going so heavy I didn't take it all in while it was falling to enjoy the thing crashing down -- "D" * my son was...

First.... Hand filed -- free hand -- 13/64" (5.2mm) file ... "rakers" are at least (and approx) .025 down. ... then .... Cut 2 rounds of ~24" White Oak Felled a single 22" Loblolly(?) Pine ... now ... So these pictures are what the (Stihl) chain looks like now... #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6...

Here is my thinking for the 150-200 to haul it off (and I'm thinking that would be for the good wood only... not the brush). * The customer is only about 20 minutes from me * 2 or 3 trips max ? * Can sell the firewood * decent exercise for a day * I kind of enjoy a day of that kind of physical...

...up). yeah, Dave I keep a sharpie in my filing kit and started keeping 1.5x reading glasses. Thanks a lot for all the detailed info, Magnus *** what do you mean: "Keep riders high about 0,5mm ..." (is this what some call "rakers"? ... my Oregon guide is set to .025")? thx. *** what do you...

...hand". Below are photos of my "chips" from my latest attempt at hand-filing my ms461 w/25" bar It isn't 100% "sawdust" ... and there are some *bigger* chips, but not the way it is supposed to look. Note the wide variation in chip sizes...is this a clear indication that some teeth are...

...get past the COG, right? Gary, I didn't notice the side rotation (after watching it fall 3 times) ... so all that weight was originally pointing *away* from the camera? .... so... correct me if I'm wrong... the intended lay was on the *far* side of those trees it fell into? ... and all that...

:lol: I had been thinking about a live instagram collaboration with a gopro on my helmet and volunteers from the Treehouse could guide me real-time... (just kidding of course)... back to reading through responses but didn't want to forget acknowledging this one :)

...These leaning toward house are around 12" x 40' or so. With a rope set high I think they will be light enough to easily pull over opposite +-45* from lean. Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Photo #1 All trees to go except for big Oak on left Photo #2 Looking a little closer...

i've started buying second hand books too more often. I only know English, but I enjoy (centuries) older books and would almost always rather work through the original version/language/format than rely on somebody's "edited for the modern reader" version.

Well that explains my futility with rounds then. ...but don't many people successfully carve/turn bowls out of rounds? Is Polyethylenglucol like antifreeze?

hope your treatment goes well and successful, Stig. i like books too. what are some of the books you ordered, if you don't mind me asking?

thanks Bermy! thanks again Sean. ha, Kyle, what's wrong with Apple? .... ha, I had an iphone 4, then got a Galaxy s5 (4 years ago?).... now want to upgrade and want the "uniformity" of apple... e.g. iphone 6 maybe.

Excellent point!

Gary, is First Responder training for plain old civilians? Just saw you were from near Atlanta.... do you know Peter Jenkins (of Tree Climbers International) who lives around there?

thanks, Stig. just printed it out. looks good (peanut butter!)... and easy enough for me.

yeah, I have some anchor seal, but have become disillusioned in it.... it seems the rounds I paint with it ... and even ends ...(even soon after cutting) still get splits. (need to do spring cleaning on the porch) For stickers I bought some cheap long 1x4's (3/4 x 3 1/2), ripped them into 3...
