How do you like that 316? I finally ordered my new boots I can't wait.

 

[Dave Shepard]

It's got some sort of safety 3/8" low profile chain on it. It works great for cutting up the slabs, but I'd bet it would work a lot better with a proper chain on it. I'll use it for roughing out timber repairs inside the shop. Gas saws are a bit loud and the smoke doesn't clear out for days in the winter.

 

[flushcut]

Sweet I have always wondered about those electric saws.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Not very exciting, but it serves a purpose.

 

[flushcut]

Well I hear if you do a coil mod they really wake up.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I hear an 11 rheostat helps as well...
Just gives it that little extra umph...

Finally picked this walking stick up for my client. Had it made from a piece of her sour orange I pruned. I teased her with it in her e mail yesterday. She is anxious to get it

 

[sotc]

Looks quite nice

 

[stehansen]

Very cool.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I think she'll like having it while she works her cattle. Hard as a rock, I doubt she'll break it on a steers backside.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Been busy on line too....
This came yesterday for my dad for fathers day...
He loved how my saws cut while we were working over there. So I showed him mine and he has since wanted one.
I also ordered some atlas gloves (12) since he also liked mine...
Of course I also got a couple of throw weights, some more zing it (dreadful story), micro pulley and some loop runners to replace some I used for guying trees this winter.
Man can never have enough rope or loop runners I tell ya what!

This little 16gig chip and adapter and reader are for a little goody the Sqwerl post a while back..
See how it works for some tree action coming soon

 

[flushcut]

So what's the dreadful story? You can't have a lead up and not deliver.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I got my "indestructible" 16oz stuck in a leader up by some secondaries. Since it was a long drive home from the site, and I was pretty tuckered out, we left it. I got as close as I wanted to and snipped the line with the pole saw. There was a line clearance crew coming out to do some trimming there soon and I left it for them to retrieve. Soooo.. Then my regular 16oz broke in some rocks .... Sooooo Since I like having two of everything..... I got two bags and some back up line as I retired the one I cut. It is now a form line for staking out concrete and garden plots Waste not want not.
I have NEVER left anything behind me in a tree. Twas my first time and it just felt wrong.
There ya have it..

 

[SkwerI]

I've tied my zing-it off to my truck to pull it out of a tree before. Only time it ever broke was when the throwbag was wedged in the crack of a split limb, wasn't any way in hell it was coming out. Later when I got up in the tree I had to cut the limb with my chainsaw to get the throwbag out.

 

[flushcut]

That wasn't that bad. It happens think about it? That was two throws out of how many? You're still batting a thousand I am sure. Besides it's not like your name is Charlie Brown with the kite eating tree.

 

[flushcut]

I am surprised the bag didn't break first.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Well.. some lucky Asplundh guy will get a perfectly nice 16oz bag. So someone will give it more use.
Almost done slicing and dicing beef.

 

[arborworks1]

Brendon, being that I'm a swell guy and all I decided to let you keep my trailer. I got it's replacement today.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Damn, trailer envy ....

Nice Scott

 

[sotc]

Dang it, I can't keep up with the jonses at this pace

 

[flushcut]

Yeah those trailers suck!! I think you should give it to me for proper disposal.

 

[brendonv]

Hahaha. Looking good!

Is that the one with the really long tongue that they added?

 

[Burnham]

Scott, ol' son! Well done.

 

[stehansen]

I'm envious also.
