    New Choking Crane Sling Stays on Hook

    Crane operator must not be that cushy, a lot of them complain about having neck pain. Probably the unnatural position combined with the high level of concentration, particularly in tree work.

    A friend of mine down the road is a professional metal fabricator, been welding since he was a kid. I can weld a bit but nowhere near his level of proficiency and clean welds. We trade off a bit on things. One thing though, having read some books on metallurgy when I was getting into building...

    How'd it go today?

    Thanks, guys. High eye pressure, what can lead to glaucoma, can be caused by having diabetes, or often for some reason that can never be known. It's that the drainage system in your eye isn't working right, somewhere somehow plugged up, so pressure builds up on the optic nerve and will damage...

    New Choking Crane Sling Stays on Hook

    That being said, I've known and worked with a number of veteran crane operators well experienced in tree work. When I observe them in the cab, it doesn't appear like what they are doing is anything special to them. That's not just between picks either, the way they spend most of their time...

    Isn't that what pulse welding is designed for, keeping heat to a minimum? You can dial in the length and type of pulse to best suit your specific task and material.

    The Official Work Pictures Thread

    I find that hotels that if they don't have a day with predictably no guests, will want you to do the work between check out and check in time. The late start can be particularly a nuisance. The one I regularly work on trees at is less particular about work running past check in, but if at all...

    Hell of a thing. I know it's the far north approach, but if he trued up the outside first it wouldn't be bouncing around so much and he wouldn't have to so much fear it flying of and him possibly being decapitated. :\:

    Understandable I guess, all the noise he experienced at the track. Possibly he doesn't want to be reminded again of Michael Schumacher on his rear wheel, looking to pass.

    The RIP Thread...

    When Chuck came on the scene, there probably were very few guitar playing models of advanced technique that a person could aspire to equal. Eddy Van Halen and others sure changed that.

    Jerry Beranek's Fundamentals

    Yes, and one thing that I learned from that whole experience, is that although you may not like a man, a teacher or whoever, he still can be very deserving of your utmost respect.

    Jerry Beranek's Fundamentals

    Yeah, me and the other apprentices were watching a grainy film once of a woodworking treasure, a man as highly revered in the trade as it can get, by then deceased. It was after a long day at the shop and most of us were stretched out wasted on the floor. Our master walked in and upon seeing...

    Barn takedown and hayshed repair

    I know the suggestion was in jest and Squish wouldn't put a bad vibe of deceit into his property there, but there are few self inflicted fires that the fire department investigators can't spot. Those guys whose job it is to be so, are very smart about the causes of fires when they go through...

    Jerry Beranek's Fundamentals

    Jerry's book is my most studied text that I've ever applied myself to in my life. Never took it to bed though. When you read a book whose author it is that you so highly respect, it calls for sitting up straight!

    MB, you know with cataract surgery now, you have different replacement lens choices to improve your vision weakness. It can completely eliminate the need for glasses. I wouldn't hesitate a bit to have it done when the time arrives. I don't think you even need to be hospitalized anymore in the...

    How'd it go today?

    With the national coverage on surgery and hospitalization, everything within a specific month, no matter what it is or how many times, costs me a one time $550. If it runs into the next month, then the cost obligation starts again. Funny how they run that, not by the thirty or so days, but by...

    How'd it go today?

    Just got hime after having eye surgery and four days of hospitalization. Never been hospitalized before except when a kid and smashing my finger. I couldn't believe the special room devoted to eye surgery, rather dark in there and various stations where they are working on people. All very...
