Maybe just cutting the overhanging forks off would be enough?

I find there is usually a lot of ash under the coals. I sweep the coals to one side and shovel the ashes out, the sweep the coals to the other side and repeat. If you had a metal container to hold the coals and had a safe place to set it down I don't see any rats. The sweep method works ok...

I have been meaning to make a mesh shovel for the purpose of saving the coals and charcoal but letting the ash fall through it. Collect the coals while you clean out the ashes and dump the coals back in.

Looks like old metal wire mesh base. Better than the kind they had before that-a fairly heavy sheet metal with holes in it. Miserable.

Went to the hardware store today and cut a key for my new to me 2003 Tahoe for $4. Try doing that with a newer vehicle!

I am trying to stick with old stuff because of simplicity.

8 feet of leverage vs. 80 feet of tree. Big mismatch.

Just like accidents. Usually a number of things combine.

Osage limbs are incredibly strong. A neighboring farm had limbs put in along the road for posts. Cars would go off the road in the winter and hit a small post. Owners would be amazed the damage they did to their car.

I discovered that mulberry is related to Osage Orange. That told me a lot. Their roots are both orange. That's what gave me cause to research.

I looked them up. They have positive reviews. Hard to believe, watching that clip. Crane would have been quick and easy.

A lot less I would say. Never cut one, but branches break off a lot. Good sized branches. Seems to be quite brittle.

Good around here.

Yes. I like you can put in your zip code and it will be more accurate than the closest big city, like NOAA does.

I wonder what it crashed, besides the poor little skid steer.
