Hey @Naturarbo
When you’re posting photos choose Full Screen rather than Thumbnail during the loading process. Then we’ll be able to see them better.

sweet looking job, jediah

 

[Naturarbo]

k @Mick! im just to new to all of this

 

[lxskllr]

Yea, it's a little weird. Back in the bad old days, you had to use a file host, upload to them, then link to it in a post. Everyone(or at least me) got used to the routine, and it generally worked. You had some people try to hotlink to a site that didn't like hotlinking, and their pic wouldn't show, but most people knew the routine.

Now, many forums allow direct upload, and they all have their particular little rules and routines. Knowledge is more site/software specific, so you can't use one rule everywhere.

This one here.

@Mick! If you click the image it will open in the forum built in viewer, and you can click an arrow to view the other images in that post. If you click the green words, it opens only that picture in a new page. Just FYI. Sometimes I will leave them attached like that or only inserted as a thumbnail to allow for faster scrolling and loading and easy viewing at the same time should someone choose to click the picture.

Thanks Nutball, didn’t understand a word, but appreciate your effort.

He's saying if you clicked the thumbnail, it should have(did) blowup to full size. I think the problem was the original image was tiny, so full size was still too small.

[SeanKroll]

I couldn't get it to the full sized picture, either.

This popped up as a memory on my Facebook.

9 years ago. Who’d a thunk it? I didn’t realise I had been on single line that long.

The guy hip thrusting is a mate. I just put that in to show the size of the tree.

Check out that tether the zk1.

We went back a week later and craned out the stem once the crown was out.

 

[PCTREE]

That looks like a pig right there

been meaning to make a stump grinding shield for years. Finally did it as obviously this stump needed one. Worked great ,no broken windows

 

[biggun]

We used to use the barriers British Telecom would erect around the holes in the ground when a worker was down fixing stuff.

Stretch a ton bag over and you have a perfect barrier. Much cheaper to steal from BT than to buy one from an Arb supplier.

 

[flushcut]

The one I made.

 

[pantheraba]

Cool idea about using the bag for the stopper material. Withholding judgment on the barrier acquisition.

 

[flushcut]

It fell off a truck.

 

[biggun]

I have no ideas how they were acquired. I just hope the BT man wasnt down the hole when it went walk about.

On a similar note. I once turned up to a job and was told we needed signs and cones. There wasn’t much to choose from at the yard and it was far from perfect traffic management.

I called the guy when we arrived onsite and said we needed far more than 4 cones and 2 signs. We needed keep left signs, road narrowing, footpath closure signs as well as barriers for temp footpath. He said wait 30 minutes I’ll be there. I expected him to swing by the Arb supplier on the way.

Instead he turned up in his pickup with everything we asked for. Definitely not new either. I asked where he got them from and he said there were some roadworks around the corner from his house that might be missing the odd bit.

Dodgy bugger had dismantled a work site and just loaded it in his pickup at 8.30 am. Amazing what you can get away with if you wear an invisibility cloak ... aka hi vis vest.

Your grinder has a lot of teeth?

Why'd ya cut out that bit of belt guard.

 

[SeanKroll]

Ripped a branch off an alder, as it was hooked strongly behind a maple, then felled it, stacked it, grappled it, chipped it.


Decided to try the European dog-tooth release.

Didn't really need a bore-cut, but it was a forest alder, so I didn't cut the corner and skip it. Made sure my hinge was right without hanging out under it, fully back-cut.


Then, a hard leaning alder on a forest edge.

 

[Burnham]

Nice job, Sean. Red alder will bite your butt in a heartbeat, given the chance. Tall ones like that, the worst.

 

[Mick!]

Why'd ya cut out that bit of belt guard.

My guess, grub screws came out of the shaft and the pulley moved sideways into the guard, heating up the guard and ruining the metal.
So they cut that section out because
A. It was ruined.
B. To keep an eye on the shaft/pulley in case it started wandering again.

Just speculation, no skin in the game.
