    In Praise of 3-Strand

    The ropes for my Maasdams, both for the eyes and to repair one after an idiot cut it in two ( low profile inline splice, a bit fat though, but still works in the drum with some attention). My multipurpose slings carried all the time on my saddle, made with PP rope from the local hardware store...

    Stop Using "Double Fisherman's Knot" to Refer to the "Poacher's Knot" AKA "Double Overhand Noose!"

    Indeed, Fisherman refers to the 2 wraps, like for the fishing hook on the line's end. Double fisherman is because two lines meet together, each one ending with a fisherman. So, two fishermans form this knot, aka "double fisherman".

    How'd it go today?

    The ring doesn't have any room to go in or out as is, ramp or not. It's jammed tight between the groove in the cylinder and the little recess around the head. But it can still be serviceable without telling openly that it actually is. To get it out without damaging anything, try to push the...

    Palm removals with limited access.

    The fronds are very sturdy. Lay them in a cross pattern on the drop zone as a cushion, then, cut and drop more or less thick cookies. This needs more time but the impact force should be reduced drastically. I just hope that the wind doesn't send all the saw dust in the pool. The filtering system...

    These crasy mechanics made a new style of shainsaw, sort of.

    What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

    Well, the summer didn't last long. It ended with a thunderstorm and it's raining almost continuously since then. Fun.

    What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

    Nothing as dramatic, but here the weather turned from chilly to summer days in just one day. Like flipping a switch.

    Cutting bushel is hard!

    " It's just mental". Yeah, but the mental controls the body. And my mental says "that's a f*cking dumb shit to do". So, no way it would let me do this stunt. ;)

    Branch walking, how do you do it?

    I simplified the problem of limb walking it : I don't do it. My balance isn't good enough to play this game and I don't want to take the risk.

    Woodworking

    For me, it feels weird to use a mineral oil on a food related product, even if it's a "clean" one. "Food grade mineral oil" is a strange association of words, in my mind at least. But I saw yesterday some vids about making cutting boards. They use the mineral oil too (and then a mineral oil -...
