The Official Work Pictures Thread

Spurs don’t really hurt them though certainly don’t help them… mainly aesthetic…

I’ll get a pic next time…. But repeated spurring turns the cocos and palms rock hard… and fresh tree never spurred is soft and fleshy.
 
Sometimes the best laid plans of men and mice and so on.
We had to drop planting because we got 4" of snow.
So back to logging, which is no fun with everything covered in wet snow.
Every time a tree goes down, it is followed by a shitload of snow.
We were WET!!

Meh, at least you weren't logging in the mud or rain...looks pretty nice overall. :D
 
Right, nothing to whine about, mud is way worse.

The harvester had left one fine Norway Spruce behind............to thick for the poor lil' fellow.
So the forester asked my new apprentice to grab a saw, hike out and fell it, limb it and buck it to shipping container lengths...............bound for China.

Felling big trees really cranks her up, the bigger, the better.


Funnily enough, she tried to get out of falling a skinny 100 foot birch with no top weight.
It'll hang up on me, was the reason.
So I told her, I set you to thinning those Birch, because you are precise.
Just stand it on two stamp size hinge corners so it'll gain some momentum and drop it between the little Beech and the maple, it'll go down.
That was a lay less than a meter across, 30 meters out.
I hid behind a fat Beech to see how she did.
Slammed it right in the middle of the lay and I mean RIGHT in the middle.
She could have hammered a nail in with that tree.
As we were walking up for lunch, I asked her if that didn't feel pretty good................................yep, sure did! :)

Right on! But ahhhhhh you are shopping in the women’s section if the translation is correct. Lol
I’ll take snow over mud any day.
 
I never used a shroud on normal duty saw work, but I liked a Nomex one a whole lot when on fires.

The full brim hardhat I favor helps to keep your neck covered.
 
Looks like Mine is having fun Stig!
The flap on the back of a helmet we call a neck flap.
Battling wet weather and a resurgence of Covid here, my groundie is is out for a week or so. It's being treated like having the flu, just don't come to work sick.
Chipper feed wheel hydraulic motor spat the dummy on Thursday...sigh, wait for parts.
