The heat input probably helped more than the welding. Not that it’s a bad weld :eek3: just sayin. Lol

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...

"Repair is a radical act"

I don't either but if you want to see the post you can open it in the upper right on the Internet button.

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...

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

EAB trees are a large percentage of the treework around here. It's not if, it's when they get it.

You gonna flame straighten that flange?

EAB came hard and fast here in my area. I not so so sure trap trees would have worked. It was like the entire county blew up at once, dead ash everywhere. Very few left.

I've seen green log traps for Ips beetles in pines. They solar cook the logs after the beetles burrow into the log by covering with clear or black plastic.
