    Don’t you just love working alongside main roads…

    The most miserable job that I’ve ever had the misfortune to assist with, was tree work for a school with DOT oversight. We were clearing trees so the school could add a turn lane. Every time a branch fell five feet from the edge of the road, they would get out of their vehicles enter into our...

    Do I quit the best job I ever got?

    My 2¢ is to keep your own gig going and do contract climbing/consulting on the side. You’ll make more capital in the long run and you won’t have to worry about getting laid off. I wish you the best Matias.

    Finally glued/clamped these two panel solid cedar doors. The two panels are 1” thick and the outer frame is 2” thick. I used a table saw to make it tongue and groove. I’ll post a picture after they’re installed.

    Looks fantastic! You’re a lumberjack of all trades. What kind of fasteners did you use?

    Willows are very brittle. Don’t tie off to small diameter leads. Use multiple anchor points whenever possible.
