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

    Quite warm for the season and the nature awakens. But it will freeze again the next weekend. We got a serious bunch of successive waves of rain. It's mostly slight rains, but they last hours. Nothing can dry, the ground is soaked and the bark stays slippery. Time to time, comes a sunny day like...

    Wood stove heat

    What I dislike with the hand bellows is the air flow in surges and nothing in-between. The generated heat is blown away and inconsistent. I prefer a slow but steady flow by the lungs. It's still interrupted but that gives more time for the small flame or embers to thaw a given area.

    Contract climber rate?

    It's a matter of word's meaning. Illegal is quite broad, but it's just what's outside de laws. From slightly over speeding on the road to mass murder for example, the gap is huge. Somewhere in-between, the thing becomes qualified as criminal. So working without complying with the official system...

    WCS Has New Mufflers For The 2511+Other(s)

    I prefer the chainsaw and its sharp teeth far away from me. Having it stored by the handle put it directly in the way of the hand/arm during the climb. The idea bothered me at the beginning, but I tried this method anyway because why not. I discovered in less than one hour that my worry wasn't...

    File guides

    I use this one or the like. A bunch of them actually, because the holder is specific for the file's size, which is specific to the chain's size. The main factor is the % of the file's diameter kept over the cutting edge, so the main cutting angle is set automatically, no need to adjust...

    What can you do?

    Yes, like in heavy handed retaliation.:headbang: Nicely done show by the way.

    The Official Critter Thread

    Maybe not that insane. If it's a cotton pant, the battery acid destroys it by breaking the cellulose chains in glucose monomers. So, actually the area around the hole should have a somewhat sweet taste. Not eager to test it tough.

    The Official Random Video Thread!

    An other clue : when the boxes explode, they blew a cloud of colored dust, but strangely, the thieves come back covered with paint-like goo. I bet that an explosion powerful enough to transform a thick liquid paint in a fog wouldn't allow the thieves to walk away unscattered, if at all. I agree...

    Understanding wood fiber -theory.

    It's more a simple split than a barberchair, limited to the very bottom of the log's butt where the hinge is established. The hinge has to be relatively thin to be sure that it works properly, so a full grown barberchair isn't likely to occur. Obviously, more work is needed to get around that...

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

    We got the first frost of the season this morning. Beside an handful of shitty days, the autumn has been pretty nice so far.

    Understanding wood fiber -theory.

    I'm not good enough to line up perfectly the ends of the multiple kerfs and I know that one will prevail over the other and break too soon. I had still some success in bending brittle trees like our maple (Acer pseudoplatanus). It came initially from a german vid which received a lot of bashing...

    No Face

    Skinny Ailanthus did that to me too. Not near as in a such dramatic way tough.

    How'd it go today?

    Last week, my baby chipper spilled all its hydraulique oil, luckily on some crappy grass instead of the paved alley. It seems that the hydro oil filter on the return line got clogged, the pressure built up behind it and its gasket gave up. That surprised me because I replaced the filter not so...

    Pruning small oak off eaves?

    It's just better to live the callus alone. It does its think perfectly as it seems, so don't mess with it.

    Well this is the climbing forum

    That gives me like ants in the fingers and the palms all sweaty.

    Indeed, but between the desert and the humans, these poor guys have a very hard life.

    Tree felling vids

    There is the one just in the previous post but it didn't show for some reason. Just click on it and close the popup window of signing-in for FB, and you get the vid right there. The guy had time to escape, but not the poor car, parked right where it shouldn't be.
