Barcroftb Jeffrey Svoboda Unfortunately the tree service chips the branches and even the trunk up to at least 12" diameter (HUGE diesel chipper)....
I should add -- the big orange sections of bark in my photos is where the grapple that loaded the logs ripped off the surface layer of bark. The...
Thanks for the info. Based on google image searches, it very well could be Scotch pine or red pine, although I tend to agree with you that it...
I'm in SE Michigan where we don't have native conifers other than eastern red cedar (technically a juniper). But people do like pine and spruce...
I saw on your youtube channel that you do some milling. (I also noticed that you are quite a noodling enthusiast.) Here's my question: Can the...
Thanks! I came to this realization when I was noodling some rounds from the trunk of a huge maple. It was a big enough tree that it had formed...
When you noodle big rounds, do you keep the bar parallel to the ground? Or do you cut at a slight angle with the saw handle closer to the ground...
My dirty logs were drug around a lot with very sandy soil as well. I have been cutting on them the last two days, and it seems like sandy soil...
Correct. I meant to respond to you. Thanks for the tip on the log dogs. I'll have to check those out.
The 79cc Makita is already a bit thirsty. The 61cc cuts forever on a tank, whereas running the 79cc with a 32" bar (my normal setup) runs out of...
Nice. Your video gave me some ideas to tackle huge rounds I need to split. I can run a giant eye bolt into the face of the rounds like you did...
How about 100 pounds rounds? Let''s say an 18" D x 20" L round of hickory. I'm not asking about splitting power, but whether such a round could...
Sounds scarry. A good reason to apply the chain brake or better yet kill the engine before ever getting hands near the chain. Self-revving saws...
Only think I can think of is if you somehow got a stick wedged between the flywheel and coil and it tweaked the coil out of place. Probably a one...
Why don't manufacturers just make plugs this way in the first place? Is there a downside?
I prefer horizontal for limitations of the body. I've never rigged up a seat like you have in your profile photo, so I do a lot of standing and...
Ah, yes, long way makes sense. I was thinking of poking one in from the top.
My feeler gauges are flat and the gap I need to set between the coil and flywheel is curved. How do you set it with a feeler gauge? I'm all for...
Tell me more... What does it mean to "side gap" a spark plug, how do you to it, and what gap do you set?
I was following your line of thinking until I saw that you're a Buckeye Football fan located in Michigan. I'm open minded, but I do have my limits.
