    War for water

    I recall in high school (late '70s) seeing film footage of a man wearing a German officer's uniform shooting a mangy prisoner-looking dude in the head with a pistol resulting in the guy falling into an open pit evidently containing a bunch of folks who'd gone before him. I wondered to myself...

    silky versus corona handsaws

    It's been that way for a few years. The preferred way to lay out a web site is to provide links which your browser uses to form "GET" requests, through which it asks for specific entities. Form boxes (like this very one I'm in at the moment) use "PUT" to submit data to a server. Another...

    Look what you done to the page layout! http://www.cannonbar.com/ is a sufficient URL; please edit your post. I've heard of them. I know they used to be very good bars. Don't know whether that's still the case or not. It sounds like they're proud of their product in any case. Are they...

    felling

    "Applications: For high-performance professional woodcutting with heavy-duty saws. Excellent bar for abrasive cutting conditions and frequent plunge cutting applications." from http://www.stihlusa.com/chainsaws/guidebars.html describing the (probably too-high-priced-for-you) hard nose bar.

    Proper cut for section felling

    The advice sounds good to me, Svein. I guess at least cutting at chest height would ensure you wouldn't cut your rope/harness/lanyard :)

    Okay, this must be it ("arborist" is highlighted because it was the search term). A patent by Ken Palmer. If what you're making has a ring on each end and the one ring cannot pass through the other ring (and what's between them is webbing?) and the rings are different sizes, then it doesn't...

    Proper cut for section felling

    Are you talking about felling standing stems or chunking them down? What alternative method did you present to him?

    felling

    Yes, and no, Mark. Yes, the cutter is (evidently) designed for a flatter plane of travel. I believe you'd see the in-action cutters lift off the bar and get snatched back toward it, much like a group of dolphins popping out of the water momentarily as they swim at speed. Around the tip of the...

    Petzl Treesbee

    Using the "quick" patent search (uspto.gov) with "friction" in all fields and "buckingham" in "assignee" field yields only Wood pole fall protection device (issued June 22, 2004). Perhaps the patentee is someone else and/or the patent is for a different specific configuration, such as one large...

    Petzl Treesbee

    I don't know exactly how long Petzl has been making the item in question but it's been in their catalog for at least a few years that I'm aware of. Petzl is a French company. Is the patent on the "Friction Saver" granted there?

    felling

    Hey, you're the one who brought up the dime-sized bars. Again, the smaller-radius bars can provide for less torque about the tip of the bar but all things being equal they never have the buried-tip performance of the larger-radius noses. That's all I'm saying and for all your arguing you've...

    Fred fells 400 ft + Chimney!

    Re: PHILISTINES! Direct link to a 200' (?) brick chimney being "felled" with no back cut. There's no need for a back cut since there are no tension forces which require release.
