    ABR Ultra Sling

    For sure I'm flawed Bix but still doing stuff others wouldn't attempt on their best day. I was looking for an angle to push a bad tree guys chipper that came off his bumper deeper into the ditch with him watching. But I couldn't quite get the angle so I drove on with a poker face just now for...

    ABR Ultra Sling

    Doesn't look right to me. There would be forces in two directions. The normal pull that tightens the grip of a splice and the leverage of the cinch forcing it apart and putting the load on a couple strands. Must work I haven't tried it but the plan appears flawed.

    Client will not pay

    It's the real criminals fault. The bankers. Most people have maxed their credit buying future garbage. Got behind on my taxes, somehow that private information was forwarded to the banks. I owed $6500 and the next day my bank offers me a $6500 extension to my business line of credit and the...

    3 cut prune

    Well written Nora. That little image is very representative of what our profession stands for. It's important we get it right.

    Client will not pay

    She'd get in more trouble for pocketing a candy bar at the corner store. I don't understand the difference, both are businesses selling a product. They have a building we work out of a truck. Does that make us fair game? It ain't like the old days, before duct tape.

    3 cut prune

    Sounds good. That's what I get for being an ISA dropout.

    3 cut prune

    That undercut, top cut farther out and final outside the collar cut image is in almost every publication. And....it's dangerous. Fine on backyard light fruit tree pruning but it turns into a saw snatcher on bigger cuts. How about we stop using this bad advice as our most primary education? See...

    Rope runner, my initial thoughts

    So what I'm getting so far is the RR advances with little resistance. Descent is a little grabby. How's the creep factor when lightly loaded?

    Rope runner, my initial thoughts

    Live interactive research and development in the workplace. How can that be bad? Made in Detroit. We're the crowd in crowdsourcing.

    Rope runner, my initial thoughts

    The rope rescue forum was on fb I'll see if I can find it. It was a friend of a friend post. Just an initial first observation comment. How's she run that's what matters right now.

    Rope runner, my initial thoughts

    Based on this video I'd put a round 1 1/2" custom shaped wooden bead above the device for descent. It could make it an automatic down if it got bumped but that could be worked around. Someone on a rope rescue forum mentioned fingers getting caught right away. I was thinking a couple clear...

    tree processor

    The cord king's nice but a guillotine or claw style high pressure shear after the splitting grille. No saw dust less noise and apparent danger. The shearing really splits apart the wood for fast drying. Maybe it would be crappy firewood and burn too fast. Another dream machine for when I retire.

    tree processor

    Instead of a chipper a log splitter with a 6 plus foot ram and a shear after the splitter that could also process banches. Make 16 inch mulch/kindling and firewood ready to sell. As the branches plug up you run a block through to clean it. It would be better mulch and firewood.

    That's an excellent post. You three hammegos are brutal, I must like it or or I wouldn't keep adding provocative posts. I wannabe a hammego too. Windy -40 will do that.

    I wondered about out competing others with a unique service. Waterfront work off the water. It's always downhill. Go lake to lake with a caravan and advance promotion. Or a tour schedule.

    He might of even had a splice on the end I thought later. Unless I missed something this video was a showcase of making the simple look spectacular. Your probably bored with spar work you've been doing it so long.

    In your last vid here Reg I think you were through cutting 5' or so chunks one handed. A couple things could of went wrong that wouldn't of, or were greatly reduced with a snap cut and two handed chuck correct? I didn't mind the work I thought it was a fun show.

    Starving arborist

    When one person is the full meal deal the desk work needs to be as streamlined as possible. I feel all my invoice, payroll and even sales time is done on my time off. Just finished a hot day hanging on the top off a pole broken up with another tree even bigger and I get these phone calls to...
