    Interesting approach, Bob. Hope the end grain lengths hold up for you.

    How'd it go today?

    Nice bumper! 53 is no way too old to learn to ride horses. I was younger than that when I taught myself, but I could have done it at 53. If you can ride everyday or at least frequently, after a few months you will be thinking of yourself as skilled at it, perhaps even if nobody else does. A...

    Solo Tree Work

    The problem with you guys is that you haven't instilled the proper subservience into your workers.

    The reindeer should slam the Wolverine against a tree when it's hanging off it's head.

    Solo Tree Work

    That might be a test for a potential marriage partner, how many times you have to tell them to not slam your door. I only had to mention it to my wife twice, but we were long married by then. Who wants extra rattles in a truck, but still I think insufficient grounds for divorce if she hadn't...

    Solo Tree Work

    I just read a book by George Orwell, called "Down and Out in Paris and London". It's about the life of tramps in those two cities. He goes on to explain the use of those words you mention that some may find offensive. Pretty much it's only British slang that evolved. I guess your customers...

    Fishing 2017

    Who needs a pan? Raw shrimp with a little soy sauce and wasabi is fine in a delicate sort of way.

    milling thread

    Sean, it just seemed to me that with all that power from two large engines and often milling wide material, a stiffer chain would make sense. For years I only milled with 3/8" inch with no problem though. Perhaps .404 would have given a smoother cut? I remember that Willard said that .404 was...

    I think I'd put Warren in my top three. He doesn't need showoff, just gets it done in a quiet understated style and always so melodic. Some kind of talent. His partner isn't at all half bad either. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OOwBDlcasZ8"...

    New Choking Crane Sling Stays on Hook

    Both nylon or polyester, I think what most synthetic lifting slings are made from, degrade from exposure to UV. That one that broke sure looked sun beaten faded. Store them out of the sun when not in use at job sites wherever.

    .375" full comp with the cutter top angles at 0 or 5 degrees. Had I not burned up my mill in my shop fire, I was aiming to go to the heavier chassis .404.

    milling thread

    I never ran different engines on my mill, just a pair of 076s. Offhand, my guess is that you would run into problems with much varying displacement, chain speeds, and torques, but I could be wrong. For one thing, it seems like it could overburden a chain if one powerhead kept running but the...

    How'd it go today?

    A last sneak a peek at the computer with my one half way good eye before heading off.... Thanks for the thoughts, guys!

    How'd it go today?

    Thanks, I'm going in tomorrow for the other eye to get operated on. Not out of the woods though, if the pressure hasn't gone down on the one they did, a more serious procedure will have to be done at some point. Kind of a last resort thing. I go all the way into Tokyo for the deal, quite a...
