    Cold Weather Gloves

    I have been using a pair from my racecar, would never buy them to ruin at 99 a pair but since I already had them there are my goto. https://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/xlarge/SIM-21100MK_xl.jpg

    Tree Buzz forum performance

    Its slow for sure on image uploads, the standard page returns are no issue whatsoever. That said I am not complaining, page returns not image viewing make up about 99% of my usage.

    Maasdam Failure

    I have seen all kinds of tooth/dawg based pullers fail, as a kid and young man lots of people used them to pull motors above ones head (yikes) as said always back the mechanical with a second system of some sort. Also agree in this case it looks like a partial engagement was the culprit....but...

    Tree Buzz down & now Back Up

    Thanks for the information on the down time.....its a lot better knowing that the outage was from a cut than an issue that may or may not be resolved.

    Rope Wrench - Hitch/Rope compendium.

    I know I will look like an idiot for asking...but I would be an idiot if I did not so here goes... Do you climb with both those at the same time as a backup, or are they for different uses?

    The myth of sports drinks

    I have a feeling some other poor comparisons to athletics will probably hit this thread (ghostices was IMO a very good one). As a cyclist in my youth we used to consume a lot of gels which contained quick and medium carbs as well as consuming electrolytes and lots of water....IMO this is the...

    Hey Crafty Sewing Types!

    Got a Husqvarna Viking 6440 machine. Not commercial duty but its supposed to be one of the toughest home machines ever built. Plan to take my expired harness from my racecar (they expire every 2 yrs ) and built a chest harness. Looking forward to following this thread.

    As a life long mechanic/racer (though little more than a pimple on an arborists ass) its my firm belief that as long as you maintain true "work saw" level mods you will be fine as far as longevity. IMHO, A port cleanup, reduction in back pressure and slight changes in port timing and carb tune...

    Got a Willow Oak in my back yard slightly smaller (15' and change circumference) that was planted around the same time. I love the tree but its only about 10ft from the house and is only getting bigger. Are you doing anything with the trunk? Assuming its solid when/if I take it down, I will...

    Chainsaw Vibration and Hand/Arm Health

    Chainsaw Vibration and Hand/Arm Health

    Also in addition to the low rakers another consideration is high rakers and keeping the chain as sharp as practical. Sharp chain and rakers properly set will allow the saw to do its share of the work not the sawyer. No clue on your diet, but if its poor supplementation with B complex, D and...

    Stihl ms 290 Farm Boss questions

    Not familiar with that saws specs (maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in), but most saws the high and low both back out about 3/4 turn as a starting point, I would try that first. Also are you sure the impulse line is attached and that the fuel line is not obstructed in some way? To...

    Everbilt (Home Depot) Quick Links?

    Used to repair fitness equipment for a living, we have had the smaller 1/4" fail on leg press machines with a working load of well under a thousand pounds but we have never had a cable fail even though its only rated at 600 wl. PS the 1/4" ones are only rated for 880 wl....even then with the...

    WTF...now this

    How about a piece of 4130 Chrome Moly with whatever swivel and a slight bend in the middle then a tight 45° on each end. Just as strong, a lot cheaper and much less bulky...and yeah you could have available in multiple candy colors......
