Yup. Whole bunches of wrongness.
It wasn’t Kevin Hamm. It was Kevin who he used to work with. The guy with the Lego smiley face shield. The same Kevin who came here to announce Jed’s passing (rip). Kevin Hamm did spend a week on Jacob’s jobs recently though.I haven’t watched it yet but I’d think hamm would know better
I’d have pieced it out too. Not that I’m anybody. Maybe not have gotten the job but only way I’d be comfortable doing it.I like Jake, and I appreciate him posting his mistakes, and there are a few. I'd like to make excuses for him, like "We've all had jobs that look simple and turn out not", but I can't here. He already had a climber in the tree, Kevin Hamm (Game of Trees), removed the limbs he showed to reduce backweight. Shoulda, coulda, woulda, pieced it out.
Whenever I find myself thinking about a jack in a residential tree, I make sure I've exhausted everything else. In my personal, biased, opinion, jacks are for felling timber, not a residential removal.
That's what I was thinking, but what do I know? Wedge it up good, collapse the jack, and add some material to the bottom. I guess at some point you have to worry about jacking it off the stump. Looked like he had more room before worrying about that though.-and i would have just added spacers to the jack to finish it off thru the little guys..I think.

Yep and yep!@stig Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would have gutted or thinned that hinge in the middle. I set my dogs at my min outside hinge thickness and then swing the bar tip to my gun or a little more so I know the center isn't thick.

I think I’d be worried about wooden spacers crushing or squirting out…but I guess that’s what the backup wedges are for.Yep and yep!
Hey, I enjoyed the hell out of Connecticut, what little I saw of it, which was mostly one girls apartment, inside of which the views were absolutely stunning...
I've been to the big canyon a few times. I rode the mules down and back once, and I've hiked Bright Angel Trail twice, many moons ago. About time for me to take the girls up there. Kavebear and the kids haven't been yet.
Another cool spot near Flagstaff is Walnut Canyon, which has a cliff dwelling village in it, and an easy trail down through said village.

Yes and no, odd as it sounds. Yes, I've been there, when I was very young. Unfortunately a few TBIs and some drugs later, I don't remember much. I've passed through the area a bunch, but I was always busy, with some important place to be.Ever been to Acoma Pueblo?
I visited there in ‘97 and I captivated me. The stories of their history were amazing.
What is the jack pressing against?I think I’d be worried about wooden spacers crushing or squirting out…but I guess that’s what the backup wedges are for.
End grain...flat grain would make me nervous.What is the jack pressing against?
Wedges can spit out. Plates won't.
Just listen!
