We got round to a storm job last week. Storm Amy had snapped and ‘too far gone’. Bark beetle death spruce. Snapped off the stop and hung up over and small cliff and above a property. Lost of rigging, GRCS type winch on the butt. Two other lowering devices and a couple of guy lines to top the...

...options to do what I want, and not terrifyingly expensive (thought not exactly cheap). I've got all the batteries in the garage where it's about 40*. Still haven't figured out what I need to charge and evaluate the health of the batteries. The dead of winter in a heated garage is an ideal...

Was pushing daylight and the clock tonight. So I sauteed some chicken breasts and made ghetto chicken cordon bleu. No time to roll and stuff them. Served over wild rice with a sherry gravy.

Eucalyptus got me hooked on aus, so here we go

You may have a bad design of stove, depending on what "full" of coals is to you. I get some of the best heat when mine is full of coals. What I don't like is w thorough mix of ash and smaller coals, which is immadiately solved by either scooping it out, or frequently stirring the ash while the...

Subject at hand.

Effect orientation too. 3" is a moot advantage imho

Lol... on your mark get set post ! Lol

Block (dowel) on top = block on bottom. Once string is plumb, both blocks touch the wall

Exactly so. I looked again and picked up the spacers, just as you describe, Cory. A nice method.

I believe it was just a plumb line but with properly sized spacers so that if the top spacer is pushed flush to the stone, the bottom one should also be touching and parallel to the stone. If it wasn't touching, then the wall aint plumb.

Doesn't the bungee get cut fairly easily/often? The tire takes a beating without issue

i would‘nt do that as you will wear out the attachment point pretty fast. short carabiner and a shorter bridge maybe?

i just lay the tire on the ground without a log under it. good way to dull the maul on concrete ;)

I did it a little on smaller wood. Pretty efficient. Keeps the mess together, throw it in the wheelbarrow or whatever, take the bungee off. I do something similar when I split on the press. I split the round 99% apart and shove it off into a crate where it falls apart. No chasing stuff around.

Simple method. I'm not sure I've ever seen the need for tire or chain/bungee :), but aside from that, seems a reasonable trick.

Man, you sure do land some uglies, David. I like Rajan's suggestion.

Can you post a pic of what you propose?

Eyeball even space between string and block, top to bottom...I think.

I got the first one, but didn't understand the second leveling technique.
