Jægerspris castle, my main employer these days.
Fine pollarding work by the castle gardeners.

Lovely Stig.

Do you have any idea on the age?

The older parts of Oslo have some amazing Lime pollards (Linden), as do a lot of the embassy buildings.

 

[stig]

Not very old.
I think from 1950 or so.

Same here. I don’t like working much in the snow but I have done it hundreds of times.

I’d like to know where this thought comes from as April fools was a few weeks ago.

Sorry, It's not a seizure, but scoring. Photo No. 12 in the attached document by Stihl. I had never heard of it either, but they should know what they are talking about.

 

[friedrich]

they do sell snow screens for some saw‘s.

 

[flushcut]

i was under the impression the snow screen was to keep the air filter from icing.

John and I rigged down a dead 50’ x 8” dia red oak limb above a driveway and in ground basketball hoop. 2 portys and both tip and but ties. Probably could have spider legged it but getting to the tip of the long, dead, and very slippery limb would have had challenges. The tip tie was set from the ground and hauled up. Did a standard rig on the smaller dead limb above it. Hopefully we’ll get more work from that customer as he has a great many trees.

For fun, we tip tied a small Bradford pear to a large poplar stem and slowly lowered it, cutting off 4’ pieces with each descent. 🤣

Absolutely could have been dropped in my yard but this was more funer.

Sunday?!? Of course!!

How many hours/week do you put in at the fire department ?

 

[Maximalist]

On February 29, I resigned from the fire department. Now I am absolutely free!)

 

[cory]

Nice! How long were you there? What did ya like best and worst about it?

 

[Maximalist]

I have worked in the fire department for 36 years. I liked everything. There is a saying in the fire department: "Everything is fine in the fire department, but when a fire starts, you want to quit.")

 

[treebilly]

I understand that saying perfectly

Today I was working on the sports field - View attachment 71eaa4d3-40a9-4fbe-a9c9-dc43eeafdec1.mp4

 

[Treeaddict]

@Maximalist What sport is that? Do you throw the sticks?

 

[flushcut]

Little something from today

Hung up dead ash in a near dead cherry lowered with a 2:1

Kind of like bowling.

 

[lxskllr]

That's pretty cool. I have an appreciation for games that require no special equipment for core play. You could find everything you need for a game in the woods.

 

[Treeaddict]

Kind of like bowling.

That was my first thought.

 

[Maximalist]

I have a new saw))
