Peter made his stump grinder, it's real cool to see it and how it progressed. I'm wondering what things people have made to assist in their work?
Coiling up wire rope is kind of a bother, especially when tired at the end of the day, and I use cable for pulling pretty frequently. This Tirfor cable has a solid core, so a little stiffer than most regular cable. Recently I made up this reel that you can crank to wind up quickly and with no twist. It adds a bit of weight to carrying into the site, but the comfortable handle much helps to reduce the effort. Nothing special, but it works well and I enjoy using it. The holes are where I can see to push the end into a hole in a small block that grabs for starting to wrap around.
