    Lockstitching VS Whipping

    oh yeah, this ultra sling is meant for hanging a block in the tree from the small loop end, so the larger lock stitched eye is the last loop option. I'm pretty curious to see how it holds up...

    Lockstitching VS Whipping

    thanks for your response. I ended up lock stitching it and I trust it, but I still don't really know why one is preferred over the other with different types of rope. maybe with looser braids, lock stitching is better because it joins the bury for a longer length with thick thread?

    Lockstitching VS Whipping

    I'm just wondering what the reasons are for using one or the other. I just spliced a base anchor sling with some tenex tec and was trying to decide which to do. I usually see lock stitching with tenex, but I find whipping easier and prettier.

    thundersling rope rub

    I very recently won a thundersling from treestuff (thank you, thank you, thank you!). Took it for a test run today. while I LOVED so many things about it, I found that when the rings turn 90 to each other, the working end of the rope likes to come into contact with the sling on the first ring...

    Milling urban trees

    im finding hardware is a big problem with the logs we get. We hit something in a butternut log that stopped us dead. I'm thinking maybe we should get a second ripping chain... Do you guys use metal detectors? I hear you need a really good one but obviously don't want to spend a lot.

    Milling urban trees

    How do you market your slabs? Do you have a few frequent buyers or many infrequent buyers or both? And how do you price the stuff?

    Treestuff hooked me up with a good deal on one at expo after party. It should be here Thursday or Friday, can't wait. I'm definitely going to be looking for advice on getting it dialed in and pimped out!

    Milling urban trees

    At my company we have an Alaska mill we play around with at our shop. I would like to figure out what the best way to use it to make money for our company is. Any thoughts or tips would be helpful.

    Rig N' Wrench

    I won a thunder-sling at treestuffs expo party and can't wait to use it but I first want to make sure I have a good handle on why I'm using it.

    Double Block Rigging

    Tried this technique for the first time a couple of weeks ago and failed to predict the correct amount of friction on the POW. piece didn't run at all but also didn't take me for a ride...(it was also undersized being my first time)

    Rig N' Wrench

    so many pieces of rigging gear coming out right now that add friction to the rigging point. I understand there is an added benefit of making it simple and for working without a dedicated groundie but I was hoping someone would clarify more the advantages in terms of forces by putting friction...
