I find myself going there to stir people up and payback a few trolls that come here. LOL

At the end of the day I figure I'll build this one not that one.

Howdy from the great state of TEXAS! Spring has sprung! We are a month ahead of last year (warmer) and I am 2 weeks booked. My wife and 2 dogs have been hanging out ready to put hardwood floors in the house. I like me a good vodka tonic or a nice cold beer. Dont forget the BBQ (ribs and brisket). Here's Marley.

Howdy marley1.
Nice pic, but your girlfriend sure is hairy.
Cheers,
Steve

They still have TROLLS on AS?!!!

Time is better spent here or elsewhere, polite, good natured folks are the heart and soul of forums.

Time flies troutfisher, so how's things down your way? Don't be shy now.

It appears that I've missed something? I just found Treeworld today, through a google search........ I've been workin' on saws and doing some carving. Here's a link to my photobucket page, some videos of modded work saws, wanna be race saws, ect...

I guess I get how this thread you started for me is working. Cool idea, thanks for helping me get it started!

I'm somewhat overwhelmed with trying to stay safe while taking down trees.

I've dropped only two so far but more are on deck. I want to learn correct and safe techniques wherever I can an so far this forum is a great source.

I watched the video of the Palm tree top off, and learned a lot about the cut and the rigging.

Other than that we're just waiting for Spring to come, anxious to be out of doors more.

I have just seen this post an I'm touched that you've asked.

I am fine, been busy with the last 6 weeks of my degree, written a management plan for all of the council owned woods in my district. Bought a GRCS (used it once, think it will be good when we've learnt how to get the best from it) and generally getting stuck into some reasonable take downs as its spring here and not the best time to prune.

The contracting here in the UK seems a little slow at the moment but its just the time of year I think (or the number of cow boys currently working under our radar).

I'm also off to West Africa in a few weeks to check out a private reserve with the view to designing a zip line/canopy tour. Going to have to put killer bees and chimps on the risk assesment which will be a first.

Also my daughters getting some teeth and now eats mashed sweed, little monkey.

Suns out too

Troutfisher,

I have to ask.

When carving and doing the finer work like this pic with the nose of the bar do you guys get a lot of kickback?

troutfisher · 1st April 2008, 05:52 PM

The big saws can get pretty nasty, but it's not bad with a carving bar. I use "dime tip" bars, they also make "quarter tip" bars which are a bit bigger. You have to use 1/4 pitch chain with these bars because 3/8 or .325 won't turn that tight. This means changing the drive sprocket. The small nose radius really reduces kickback. I don't use the tip with a regular sprocket nose bar. Here's a pic of a dime tip bar with a US penny on the tip..........

and a bench I'm working on...........

Ekka, that's the bar's shoulder! Not it's nose!
