The Hunicke Interviews: Gerald Beranek

[MasterBlaster]

I had a pic where we compared our wounded feet, but I lost it.

Crap!

 

[flushcut]

I haven't watched the whole thing but will soon. God bless the new net connection I have. FAST!

 

[sawman]

Wow that was cool!!
Thanks for putting in all the time to make tree talk
Can't wait for part 2

Highest encomium August. Your editing stuff is getting insanely good. Absolutely couldn't believe the way you morphed the face of the Viet Nam Beranek with the current shot. Unbelievable.

Yeah, whether he likes it or not: poor Gerry's getting to be almost public property for us tree guys. Most of us have lived vicarious lives on the Nor Cal coast through his books, shots and stories. Who among us hasn't topped his Rockport tree a thousand times in our own minds? Very, very cool. Thank you both (and you Terri) so much.

 

[sotc]

A thousand? Man Jed, you got some catching up to do!

 

[August Hunicke]

LOL

 

[NHlocal]

Priceless pearls of wisdom captured on video.

Very much looking forward to the next one August.
Thank you Jerry and Terri for agreeing to do that interview.

 

[Jed]

A thousand? Man Jed, you got some catching up to do!

Yeah, but mine were louder than yours when they hit.

 

[treebilly]

Can anyone post a pic of the rockport tree. I'm gonna show these guys at work what topping really is

 

[MasterBlaster]

This is all I have.

 

[NHlocal]

You've got some great pictures there Butch.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's just a pic of the poster.

 

[treebilly]

Thanks Butch. These guys are proud of themselves when they drop a 3' diameter tree. Want to show them that ain't nothing.

I sent the link to my Pop. He's not doing too well right now. It might shine for him to see his son being glorified in an interview. I got to get back and see him before he goes.

 

[Altissimus]

Damn , Get ...I can relate

 

[gf beranek]

Thank you, Dave.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Watched half so far and absolutely top notch job. I like the relaxed discussion. Good to see Terri as well, such a kindly nice and caring face, very endearing. (When you work alone a lot you can't help to sometimes notice things like that)

 

[cory]

That would be fun for your Pop I bet.

Hey Gerr, the fallers who got emphysema from redwood dust, those were guys who didn't smoke etc, they got it just from cutting redwoods??

 

[woodworkingboy]

I know from cutting Redwood on a table saw, putting out and breathing the dry fine dust, over a prolonged period would not be a desirable activity at all. Very soon irritating with the red snot, I found. With some woods you get the sniffles over time and not much a bother, with the bad ones the ill effects are almost immediate. Redwood is a bad one.

 

[cory]

I figured the bark was the culprit but you are saying the wood is bad too, wow.

 

[woodworkingboy]

The dry dust could enhance the negative effects, but i would say it is indicative of an undesirable content in the wood.

 

[cory]

Perhaps what makes it unhealthy is what makes it weather resistant.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Could be, but other woods with moisture resistant qualities don't give such ill effects. Some other irritant I would guess.

 

[August Hunicke]

Wow, Jer, Pop still kickin'.
