    Is it time to replace the bungee on my Big Shot?

    If the cracking is onl at the end you can milk a bit more out of it by cutting off the cracked section back to good rubberand remounting the slightly shorter assembly. I always seemed to get cracking first right near the horn mount before anywhere else. Iron and latex unhappy chemistry...

    Consumer Laser Welding Google served this up to me. Weld, cut, clean. Bit spooky about eye and shine-thru or reflection safety. Watch a variety besides this one. None of the vids were comprehensive but might add insight.

    tool/chainsaw lanyard attachment options while in a bucket truck?

    Dynamic/stretchy anchor point is equally as important :)

    tool/chainsaw lanyard attachment options while in a bucket truck?

    Awesome, Muggs! Read the first 17 youtube comments 3 hrs old = now that's fresh. One was about squishy human anchor. I think it's valid to test both rigid (bucket) and squishy human saddle scenarios. The rigid will have a higher peak possibly even 2x higher based on my experience. Could...

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    Just saw tv news that trump did racist comments about the Obama's. Whitehouse first doubled down then after backlash retracted them. Who trump chooses to respect or not is truly concerning. Is the phrase "poor judgement"? Just the person you want keeping world powers cool, calm and collected...

    New TreeBuzz Ad Format???

    I used to regularly drop in at the treehouse. The site changed, killed my browser, wrecked my login on an alternate browser and then completely changed format. They essentially discouraged me out of participating there. No malice, just too much hassle. I'm now an infrequent guest there...

    Homelite Crankcase Pulse Chain Oiler

    I skipped these saws but my buddy has one. Looking up the carb came across this Rube Goldberg system. Crankcase pressure pulses drive oil pumping to the bar and chain. Infotainment. Enjoy!

    New TreeBuzz Ad Format???

    I've found that various forums on the web have weird behaviour usually to do with automatic ads. I bounce between three browsers on my older mac and still sometimes can't read some (non-treebuzz:)) pages. 30 years ago a software guy and I were discussing resume skills listing and we marvelled...

    tool/chainsaw lanyard attachment options while in a bucket truck?

    To me, I could see the spar hit the bucket in the video. A standard conundrum is let the saw break away, you're not yanked out of the bucket/tree but the saw drops onto people/targets below, or avoid the saw drop (not-breakaway lanyard) but risk a big yank that could hurt you. I guesstimate...

    tool/chainsaw lanyard attachment options while in a bucket truck?

    I'd venture a home brew saw lanyard made out of small cordage which can takes a few hundred lbs. 15 lb saw at 6 G's is only 90 lbs and 6 G's is a pretty big spike. You could start simple, a little longer than currently causes frustration and tweak the length. Make a handle-girthing loop on...

    AIs are Talking about Tree Work

    If you think back through the years of the maybe 5 major arborist forums you could see where the AI personality training came from. Technically it's a new linguistics software tweak but I think the source of the flavour is still what's been gleaned from the web. It could be called the trolls...

    AIs are Talking about Tree Work

    Primordial ooze of skynet? To my ear AI communications sound strangely dumb like a grammatical phoenetic parrot. Sometimes I recognise 99% plagiarised sentences on google from sites I've read except they're out of context.

    Bruce channeling 60's Bob Dylan just transported me through time.

    Wood Moisture Meter Calibration My buddy just got a midwinter load of firewood and it was not dry - who would sell a clearly use-it-now load of wet wood in good conscience? But that's another story. My buddy doesn't have a wood moisture meter but he does have a multimeter. Wood %moisture...
