    Borer “trap tree”

    I wouldn’t say barber chair prone so much as never turn your back to one. More like a shady Chihuahua with a shive in a prison exercise yard, give them respect and you’ll be fine, disrespect them and it’s sticky sticky. I’ve only had one barber chair on me, a few straight up pull over out of the...

    How'd it go today?

    I couldn’t get the nut to stick welding to the top of the stripped bolt…. Realized that it was not a broken bolt but an Allen key bolt filled w paint and grease.. so I stripped that after a few cycles of heat and 3:1…. Then I welded the Allen key to the bolt and I was extremely surprised the...

    How'd it go today?

    got cabin fever: went to see an anomaly, a dead salt cedar. I’ll post in unique trees. South to Mexico West to the mountains and San Diego This is how you get around in the desert.

    Machining/welding/millwright…molten metal

    I think it needed a lower relief pressure for the size of the cylinder vs. the bracketry 😆

    Borer “trap tree”

    Always wanted to give these sketchy chair prone ashes a whirl just to see. The two or three Arizona ashes I have cut were healthy, pretty hard/tough/strong.

    Borer “trap tree”

    Sounds normal 😆 I have a bunch of smallish dry stuff to cut up, I’m going to try my new $80 Chinese 36” light weight bar on my 461 with some Oregon multicut. Just so I can cut over there while I’m over here 😆

    @Gypo- nothing wrong with that, and rare in this day and age. I think you can click on and see the link without having an IG account. I kinda figured you'd report that you know the guy; lotta highly skilled, independent cutters on IG it seems. @davidwyby - dang I thought you'd love that post- a...

    Borer “trap tree”

    After a while you will hate cutting ash, dry, dusty, brittle wood that shatters like glass, jamming up the chipper at every feed cycle. I can still smell the dust.

    Borer “trap tree”

    Year 4 of the EAB invasion was slowed by a polar vortex. -40° really put the hurt on that little bug and good for it, but damn was it cold.

    Pretty heavy duty. Bad weld cause failure? Looks like it could use a bigger engine and pump for the size of the cylinder.

    That's a thick chunk of metal to bend like that.

    Borer “trap tree”

    yeah, from what I’d read, I don’t think EAB was stoppable. But maybe the gold spotted oak borers out here. The green log thing is a good idea. I’ve cut down healthy eucs, stored the logs in my yard, and found the cambium eaten out later when I went to make firewood. I guess I need to cover...

    Life has been so busy and crazy those pics are days old but I think that’s what we did.
