The Official Work Pictures Thread

Yep...doing some low Panther stuff..also the kukri drill team...three of us.

That's really cool.

I noticed my vs Stig comment was just glossed right over. It doesn't have to be a grudge match to the death or anything, just until someone submits!

 

[pantheraba]

hahaha...glossing is safest sometimes.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I could be the ref.

Jed...



and here is some of what we do:

See... based on the photos that I had seen of you doing the tree right up on the cheap ladies' house, I took you for some type of a CIA looking baddass. Bando I had never even heard of. That video displays some insane discipline. I can't imagine being able to move that well. My right knee wouldn't even do it.

Here's some shots of a modification that we made of a lady's nature-trail that we made after submarining a 42" Cottonpig into it yesterday. Forgive me if a double posted two of the pics.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Geeze, Jed. Now you are just showing off with those nice looking hinges!

[Jed]

Man, Butch... You've got some posting skills.

Jim, I've been a show-off from day one, brotha. Check the avatar.

I'm guessing Stig and Gary are both lightweights, probably would do battle at 155lbs if they are walking around at 160 or 165ish,

 

[woodworkingboy]

Jay, too bad to lose those trees. Is that a public park of some sort?

A shrine, Squish, Buddhist or Shinto I guess, I'm not too up on the religious aspects. Shrines are around in various places, must be many thousands in the country. No priest there like a temple, but God supposedly. People drop in to pray for whatever, and they also serve as gathering spots for neighbourhood areas with some type of additional structure on the grounds for meetings or partying. An interesting aspect is that their upkeep is provided for by the residents around a particular one, be it making improvements or cutting trees whatever. People will be asked to additional contributory pay if the budget isn't already there from the annual dues. They're a good thing really, places of solitude that bring neighbours together. Often an annual festival will be held, something children used to love and get excited about, before the days of all the other entertainments like now, and the men got an excuse to all get drunk. When we were cutting, the only people that showed up to help with the brush, etc., were old people. We all had a nice lunch together, it was cool, and i feel something ancient about it. Old people seem to take pride in the one they have.
Here's a pic of the shrine itself.

 

[Jed]

Man, that's beautiful.

 

[pantheraba]

I like the shrine. Ancientness is special...cool to be able to work there.

Jed is hinge happy...which is fine. They are their own type of art.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Cool pic, Jay!

 

[Fiddler]

Couple pics Nic (tt) wanted me to post for him of his job today...

 

[pantheraba]

Love the balance...excellent.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Balance is cool, but one sling is way faster.

 

[cory]

Picking it off a roof like that, multiple slings fo sho, imo

 

[MasterBlaster]

It can be done.

Trust me. ;>)

 

[timbertramp]

I agree with the speed butch. But that one was on the garage (that was in really really bad shape) and under a bunch of mulberry so with one balanced pick the crane guy could work his magic and dance it out of there. Lots of turning,twisting, and down to go up

 

[MasterBlaster]

Of course... I'm just sitting here armchair quarterbacking it.

Sometimes, you've just gotta be there!

A few from yesterday's wasp job. It was cold so I saw no wasps. I didn't look much when I got to the hole but spayed them well. Made me happy to have that work out so sweet. Credits to my wife on her camera work. Enjoy.

Wish she were there for the top portion this one sure had mad head lean. I was thankful for the pine near it to help in reducing the shock and movement.

 

[pantheraba]

She is very good with camera. Nice rigging. Big wood for sure.

 

[Limbrat]

TT, what's up with the snow on that piece? Looks like it was hanging in the same position overnight or something. Joel, fabulous pics, tell the bride she did good!

 

[Jomo]

Mighty nice pics n work Rsky!

Ray, That tree was laying on the garage in the pic when I was visiting before the crane got there... "root failure" on 1/2 of a co-dominant Hackberry...not real common around here.
