I did 12 hours today and didn’t even touch a saw. Two estimates this morning, repairs at the shop (broken 1/2” tap, fml swearing lots of swearing) phone calls, invoices, hardware store run X2, picked up kids at school, made dinner, off for three more emergency calls after freak wind event, and...

Bump

I’d probably shoot a line in it and pull from near the opposite direction of the lean and swing it into the lay. The pull line is set like a stiff arm in football but instead of pushing you are pulling, supporting the weight. There are several good threads on controlling barberchair. The coos...
