    Yes, I only remove knives to swap out with fresh edge that is new or has been ground sharp by a oil grind sharpening machine. What I've seen in the past and that picture in post #16 would show if pictured well is that a normal carbide "knife" dressing tool will scrape steel off the cutting...

    Yeah Carl we all run different businesses and different equipment needs. If I had a 15 or 18 inch chipper like I would also like I'm sure I would be handling knife needs differently for that unit. Yes, bad photo really Sean.

    It affects chipping in a meaningful way in pretty short order - maybe in a few dressings. A picture I previously posted in this thread post #16 show it somewhat. When having them ground by my Bandit dealer I asked them to make sure they ground past the backbevel - no such luck. I'm looking...

    Dealing with rotted wood

    I've cleaned up rotted logs using a stump grinder. Forestry Mulcher may be a consideration under some circumstances. I love the look of a place all cleaned up.

    The Akimbo 2

    Akimbo2 has been working well at bypassing pitch spots on my rope. That's so refreshing since Akimbo1 was pretty much full stop. My adjustment latch wings are a little loose and can be found out of lock up position if I don't check them frequently. Any tips on tightening them up a little and...

    Huh. Just friction/torque lock up on the SS link right?

    Man...I've been getting great results with this new Garden Sharp tool previously mentioned. When the chippers pulling and chipping performance is dropping off a bit I dress the knives 25 strokes and it is only taking material off the face of the knife. Close it up and it's chipping great...

    End of year purchase

    That pruner is amazing. I've used it on a job and made multiple dozens of cuts and been surprised the battery didn't even show dropping one bar. Very capable tool. It feels a tad heavy in use...and I've used power polesaws almost daily for 10 or 20 years.

    Trying out my mini-wrench hook combo

    Great idea cangrejo. How do you find the balance and manipulation of the C Hook to be in that configuration for throwing? And how throwable is it with heavier line - like Tacyon? One of the things I loved about the Captain Hook from the start was how throwable it is with 10mm and how easily...

    New device from buckingham

    Just recieved my Akimbo II yesterday - a work of art and thing of beauty. I was disappointed ahead of time hearing it was larger than the original but, in hand and without my original in the house to compare it to, I didn't notice a difference in size. Sadly I'm working mostly the tops of big...

    Nice! The thing that comes to mind for me is the better quality of life you get to live all through life as a result of your personal responsibility choices. Every day I can imagine you being that much more impressed with yourself and your course through this world. On the other hand I look...

    No. Pine and fir. We did Skyline Logging on ground you could only log that way or by helicopter. Lots of fun... The only thing that had me want to get away from that was guys competing to be the most animalistic possible and them drinking till midnight and showing up to work at 6. After I...

    Arbor trolley

    At 17/18 I did a year of janitorial work while going to college. I broke a $18 oil lamp while dusting a fancy house in the Napa Valley Wine Country. The lady of the house said not to worry about it but I asked where she had gotten it. The owner of the company told me not to worry about it but...

    New device from buckingham

    Great info, thanks. I usually have a Zeiss Lens Wipe packet with me ($5 per 100 from Walmart) to clean the rope surfaces of the original Akimbos. Some reviews I hunted up for Akimbo II had comments where it was apparent that people could have benefited from doing this. Sounds incredible I'll...
