    18v supplying 2.4kW would be ~133 amps. Those ~1 gauge wires are going to be heavy. 4 batteries in series would drop that to ~33 amps, 8 gauge might work.

    How'd it go today?

    I was gonna go in but the boss called, and he didn't sound enthused about working in the heat tomorrow. He said "I think we're far enough ahead of them, but if you want to work...". Yea, we are pretty far ahead of them, and no, I don't particularly want to work, so I'm taking off tomorrow, and I...

    Crane accident 7/29/24 North Greenbush NY

    Pretty damn simple. If there is any question about where under ground anything is, not hard to verify pretty damn close with two pieces of a coat hanger. I've posted about witching before. I used to locate sewer taps that way at home sites for the back hoe to dig up. Located more than a few...

    Crane accident 7/29/24 North Greenbush NY

    I've found my keys in a field with witching sticks. Dowsing is a thing. If you focus on the leak, and not the pipe, you can find the fault in pvc plumbing. Was very helpful at the water company a great many times.

    Climbing a rope is fast, sure. Setting that rope from the ground can be the absolute opposite.

    This is why I haven't considered spurs a primary tree entry device. They're no good for what happened here. Besides I can climb a rope faster than spiking the tree anyway.

    Crane accident 7/29/24 North Greenbush NY

    I did electric once. Or it might've been gas. Can't quite remember. I was starting a new job, and the super wanted a couple wireflags. I asked him why, and he said he wanted to look for utilities before the locators I got there. I all but laughed him, but gave him a couple wireflags. I actually...

    What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

    A bag of potatoes. They were frozen new potatoes with seasoning. Potatoes are almost free in that quantity, but I like the convenience of sticking a bag in the microwave and hitting 888(8 minutes and 88 seconds). That gives you an idea of how lazy I am. Almost everything I nuke I use repeating...

    My thoughts are: have the motor direct drive the chain on the end of the pole, no shaft or shaft support bearings. I don't know how light weight a hydraulic drive system would be, but electric could be plenty light, and the wires are flexible if the pole gets bent. Then you just need the poles...

    Tree felling vids

    The correct right-angle/ "L"-shaped mini-lever (easily fabricated) would wedge open the kerf in the rear of the 'round' when cutting, then lift the near side of a 'round' to allow rails to be placed between spar and 'round'. Rails ever so slightly bigger than the kerf would make removing the...
