    Home built admirals hook

    Well I didn't have any trees to hang out with today so I worked on stuff around home. I've been wanting a captains hook, but I can't really convince myself I'll use it enough to buy one and make a bag up for it. Since it's in no way for life support, I took this old horse shoe and ground it...

    ID this grain cut

    Was messing around with a small slab earlier, turning it into a cutting board for the bride. Anyone care to guess the product? Please Post up your wood projects from trees you've cut in the comments!

    Rust in carburetor?

    I agree! I didn't remember it there, seems so strange that they're both kind of rough also, for a factory item.

    Echo 2511t bumper spikes

    I don't usually use thread lockers unless something is a problem, or it's a recommendation from the supplier. On my muffler job, it was an absolute improvement. I should have went into more detail. The saw was less than impressive stock, and I waited through a good few tanks of fuel before I did...

    Rust in carburetor?

    I was looking today and found a new carb for 026/028- it does indeed have the small hole. I couldn't see on mine and didn't really want to pull the carb.. but I was curious enough that it was already in the basement.

    Pinto Pulley, Pulling Slack

    You're clipping it off to the side loop so you can pull your tail up with your walking movement, without as much side load? Do you pull slack between the device and the pinto? While sacrificing the 2:1 aspect of the hand ascender and pulley, I guess you don't burn extra rope... Can't be as...

    Rust in carburetor?

    I believe in the moment of backfire or flooding there is fuel rich pressure on the filter side.

    Rust in carburetor?

    That appears to be sludge from ethanol gas to me. It's different colors depending on premix brand/colors.

    Two lanyard technique for removals?

    Thank you, yes it's the radius that gets me mostly. I will choke down my worries and give it a go after some sanding.

    Two lanyard technique for removals?

    My quickies are so sharp I don't dare use them in a choked fashion. I've never owned another piece of climbing equipment with such abrupt edges, I typically use them on my saddle as accessory points to clip my hand ascender rig and bags to. I have moved to a steel biner in choked fashion for...

    What's the most interesting thing you've found in a tree?

    Holy heck! Mountain lion drags sturgeon up tree, sturgeon turns into nest, feeds birds and tree... What is this, national geographic?!? Man that's wild ( I have no idea what kind of fish that is)

    Zipline tree advice...

    All the dead wood on the leaner, bark looks rough. Have you done any research on species yet? I got my face smashed in by a branch while felling ash timber this spring. It was a similar sized limb as the heavy side of your leaner tree, never figured it'd break off. Damn near ripped my nose clean...

    Zipline tree advice...

    Personally, I'd look for some nice trees that will be there a few years to do all that work in. Those look poor at best.

    What's the most interesting thing you've found in a tree?

    Absolutely. Only thing I could think of was a missfire at half draw. I have a nice range at my house, and my neighbor, who's a cop shoots at the stone wall in the back of the property. I had a guy come around last year saying I shot the window out of his car. He lives directly over the hill...

    What's the most interesting thing you've found in a tree?

    Of all the things I have come across, this is my favorite. Arrow, Found about 40 feet up in a Lombardy poplar.

    Square trees?

    Very interesting! There's not really much "waste" from round logs, it all gets used for something. In my opinion, Creating a solution for one industry that will leave others buying more expensive product. Wouldn't Wood chips, saw dust, pallets, cdx plywood, kitchen cabinets, just to name a few...

    DIY Rope Bag

    I've never owned a real rope bag. I started just flaking onto a 6x6 tarp and grocery store hippie bags but have moved to large milk crates for rigging rope and 5 gallon buckets for smaller stuff. I drill two holes in the bottom for when it rains. I work out of a dual cab Chevy 2500 so it's...
