    It's cool. I don't expect everyone to accommodate my eccentric preferences. I'll either work around it or do without. I'm more militant regarding government services that use proprietary and commercial software/services. They have no business using platforms like facebook or twitter, even as...

    They're facebook vids; at least a couple were. I had to fire up a different browser cause I block facebook stuff. I don't want to get in the habit of doing that though. Facebook should do the world a favor and just die.

    Did that have a face in it? Looked like just cut straight through and expected to wedge it where he wanted it to go.

    Who else could it be? The faller's running the show, and directing the operation. Even if it was a failure with the pullers, the faller chose the pullers, so it's still his fault.

    What do you think of the swivel castor? I've been thinking about getting one, but don't know how well it would work. I think it really needs to be useful offroad to be useful to me.

    I do both depending on immediate need and mood. If the saw's left running, it always dangles. If I'll need it again immediately, it almost always dangles. If it won't be needed for awhile, or I'm moving, it gets racked. I don't think either way is clearly preferable. There's a chance of a...

    I think maybe what cory means is "Why so long?". I was thinking I like a long lanyard to maximize my reach. If I can reach it, I want to reach it with a saw. I rewatched your vid cause I didn't notice, and damn, you have a long lanyard. Seems like you'd have a lot of lanyard left at maximum reach.

    Checked Madsens, and it's $25 now. Here's a link to their pdf catalog(2023)... https://25a85704-43f0-44ae-a772-95c1d3d7e150.usrfiles.com/ugd/25a857_cf28d6b22a4b47c4a4c3a2d709ee91a4.pdf Their catalog's pretty cool. Very retro. Nicely laid out, and no BS. Reminds me of catalogs from when I was a...

    Madsens sells them, or at least they did as of my 2020 catalog. $21. Not a terrible price.

    Video kinda sucked tbh. Big ol raindrop on the camera lens, and it didn't really show much. It was worth it for the sound though. Very impressive.

    That's what I was thinking, but what do I know? Wedge it up good, collapse the jack, and add some material to the bottom. I guess at some point you have to worry about jacking it off the stump. Looked like he had more room before worrying about that though.

    That could be an interesting strategy. Post videos that make you look stupid, but are carefully setup to portray that. That would take as much skill as doing it "right". Flattening buildings would get you some views if know of any removals near old sheds. Do a quick Earl Scheib job on it so it...

    Not trying to be a dick or anything, but the video wasn't that great :^D Funny how something like that can take off. What do you think is generating the interest?

    I can't even tell what's going on there. Looks like a piece of abstract sculpture.
