Just ran into this on wesspur. They cagily avoid saying where it was made. Designed in Japan, German steel, made in ??? New chain makers are always welcome, but I have no interest in a new Chinese chain. https://www.wesspur.com/Sugihara-Saw-Chain-3-8-.050-Gauge

Was checking out stuff at baileys, and saw this... https://www.baileysonline.com/t-s-professional-chain-grinder-square-chisel-with-stand.html Not something I need, and it's *spendy*, but it might be of interest to the right person.

Taking down my pine I used my new nk WoodlandPro B&C. I got it to hopefully boost performance while keeping my preferred pitch. It's noticeably lighter than the standard WoodlandPro bar I used. Not ZOMG lighter, but you can feel it. I really don't notice a performance difference. I would guess...

With my flat tire the other day, I found the hose on my punishment pump doesn't fit the valvestem properly. I could replace the hose or something, but it's already had at least five hoses, and it has a broken handle with a hacked on piece of wood. It's also miserable to use, so I think it's time...

The crane operator wants me to drop a tree for him. He asked last year, and I called one weekend, but he said he was busy. The way he said it made me think he wasn't interested anymore, so I didn't pursue it. Well, it may just be the way he speaks, cause he asked again. I haven't seen the tree...

I was looking for something else, and ran into this. It's geared more towards cruising and office work rather than cutting trees, but I thought it was interesting. It's pretty remarkable how little some of the tools have changed over he years. I've used stuff that was virtually identical to...

I'm looking to get the Husky mesh faceshield and muffs. I want the shield for my work helmet because the petzl one is about worn out, and I don't like it much, and the muffs are for my thriftshop helmet I got. Best deal I can find is $60 on amazon, but that comes with a helmet. I think the price...

While cleaning out the old truck I gathered all the fiberglass marker sticks I've found here and there. One was especially thin, and I think it would make a good roller for shoving rounds off a spar, so now's the time to make a set. I'm gonna cut it down, and put a constrictor on the ends which...

Pinging Scandinavians or anyone else that might know(it would be nice if @stig turned up). Is there any knäckebröd that stands out to you? I'm familiar with Leksands, FinnCrisp, and I think Sigdal rebranded through aldi. When it turns up in stock I'm gonna order some julknäcke from this outfit...

I was thinking about Kaveman's WTF knot, and was wondering what everyone thought was the bare minimum required for treework. Maybe think of it as a card you hand out to new employees as a 'must learn' requirement. Here's my list as best as I can remember. I think with these, you could do just...

The consignment shop has a 6.6k crane scale for $80. Looks new in the pics. Amazon sells that model for $200. Is it worth getting?

Got part of my TreeStuff order today, and it included the small ring I bought to make an adjustable friction saver. The big one is supposed to come tomorrow. Side note, it would be interesting to know how VSG logistics works where this silly stuff happens... Anyway, I was deciding what prusik...

There's been a huge password data dump. There's a link in this article where you can check if your password shows up... https://www.pcmag.com/news/rockyou2024-10-billion-passwords-exposed-largest-leak-ever A different complex password should be used for every site/service. That requires a...

The ash I removed this year is sprouting like crazy. My original intent was to cull all but the best sprout and grow a new tree. Is there anything more interesting I could do with it?

I have a white pine that's about 60 years old, and aside from occasional crowding and snow damage, it's appeared healthy. I've been seeing a lot of brown needles going all the way up the tree. Our spring has been pretty wet. Winter was warm, and from memory, maybe a little wetter than usual...

Says it makes your saw sound rowdy. I prefer mine to sound more sedate :^D I added a hole to my muffler, and while it isn't obnoxious, it doesn't sound as nice as stock. Y'all think these things really work? I can't say my saw feels any more powerful after adding a hole. Assuming it is more...

I'm wondering how you guys calculate effort on removals. I realize there's a lot of ifs, ands, and buts, but what do you generally consider most expedient? The options are bomb pieces out with lots of ground cleanup, or rig out to gently lower, hopefully keeping things mostly intact.

Got home from work, and decided to fool with the poulanpro. Got it apart, and the oiler gear was stripped. Not a big surprise. Everything was pretty well tacked up. Scavenged an oiler off a poulan carcass, got everything working smoothly with wd40, installed it, fired up the saw, and no oil...

The willow cutting I'm doing on the farm is partly cause the boss is afraid the tree roots will punch through the pond liner. There's a decently sized willow that would look good if it stayed. My contention is tree roots won't get through the plastic, and the tree should stay. I don't know how...

I'm getting close to replacing the spur on my CS400. It's past due, but I want to use up the natty chain I have on it, and start everything brand new. I bought a set of bearings with the spur. My intention was changing them when I changed the spur, but I'm wondering if that's necessary. Should I...
