    Tapered Hinge: Diar(y)rhea of a thread gone wrong and left un-moderated

    That was what I was implying in my post on his sudden appearance on this board/thread.

    Stihl MS500i - fuel injected

    Surprised to see a primer bulb on it, quite a departure from Stihl norms. Would have been great if the guy could have fielded the question on it, I wonder if it actually primes the manifold with fuel or if it pressurizes the injector prior to startup?

    bandit chipper disc bearings

    No chipper knowledge but I am a retired car mechanic, who has worked on a lot of different things over the years. My guess would be that the bearing is a tight press onto the shaft, so you are not going to be able to just replace it without removing the whole assembly and having the bearing...

    Tapered Hinge: Diar(y)rhea of a thread gone wrong and left un-moderated

    Just read this whole "swordfight with dicks" thread, but thanks to Rico it was not a waste of time....Conflate is now my new word for the day!

    Options on good mid-range to larger saws

    No expert here but lots of used saws that I have seen for sale list a compression figure and/or have a shot of the piston through the ex port with the muffler removed. Also the second saw is only a third off what you can get one brand new for without a crushed muffler and well used bar and...

    The New Guy Bry.

    Damn even with the great technique you got, its gotta be a lotta work chunking down a tree that requires a saw that size. Great you got a guy who already seems to not keep you up there much longer than necessary!

    Metal flakes in the eye, I am okay as is my eye.

    Beware those damned composite cut off discs! As a former auto mechanic and current construction worker I have seen several catastrophic failures of the wheel itself, particularly in the 90s before wheel safety improved. As Jimmycrackcorn said avoid the cheap wheels as they are a LOT more likely...

    remote trip swing

    Thanks for these vids Daniel, as one who is new to trees...many vids are vague and kinda hard to follow. Conversely yours were concise complete and to the point.

    hanging in lanyard/side D's hurts?

    Seems Sir Francis Bacon also agrees with RICO, if hanging that way hurts don't do it :-) "There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man's own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health." Read more at...

    Ethics in Business

    When I was a kid they used to apply tar to the cuts.....I guess if it worked for pothole repairs it had to be good for trees.

    Ethics in Business

    I may be just be a grouchy old bastard....but I rarely am polite to telemarketers. When I think about how marketing lists are sold and resold I would be amazed if most of the larger call centers do not have some type of ratings system where the more polite and longer you are the better you are...

    What is up with the ad's?

    I always did look at the ads in just that manner (beneficial and supportive of the site), and have used them to make purchases in the past. That said for me the animated adds are not something I focus on as they are mainly distracting not inviting....however I am probably a lot older than the...

    What is up with the ad's?

    This kind of thing (increasing and animating ad space to increase returns) can have a reverse effect. When the adds make the webpage hard to concentrate then people will make various adjustments. Some may just not spend as much time here, others like me will find a simple work around. I used...

    Addressing hitch binding with the Rope Wrench on descent

    Hello Oertl, Thanks for moving me to the number 2 position as the oldest least experienced climber. I am 63 6.1 and 205 and had much the same experiences you did climbing SRT the first times. The first thing I found was that small hitchcords bound terribly....but I see you are using 10mm which...
