thanks for the idea. the dawg is round like a nut and works off a spline. when the starter pully turns the dawg moves in to the fly wheel and 4 cogs engage the fly wheel. hard to duplicatewsaw is a farmsaw fm80 made in canada. been looking for parts for some time. think maby differnt sstarter and fly wheel.or maybe bolt on around wheel with old wraparound rope.

This week 4.30 am I saw this from my place but its twas only a blob of yellow in the southern sky. This footage taken from Flinders beach south of me.
I used to hang glide here and there's Navy gun training complex that often shoots 78mm boat deck and 50 cal machines, thats great to watch on open days. The boats would be the map of tassy ferry and container-ships of junk from China going into Port Phillips heads.

Last week I finished up doing multiple removals for a customer on his 5 acres. He just remodeled a old log cabin underneath a stand of tall old failing Big Leaf Maple. After the first blowdown smashed his shop, he wanted them all down. I took out 2 log truck loads and left plenty of firewood for him. This job didn't have but three trees that needed climbing and rigging...most were just tricky cutting near his buildings. I hired an excavator to pile brush and stack the logs for the self loading log truck. Good money.
Today I started on four tall conifers. Close quarter removals. Climb, top, chunk, etc.
When I am done with that I have a small patch of tall Doug Fir to remove. Exposures are a house on one side, barn on the other side, public road down the side with high tension line, and the neighbors property on the 4th side. All to be climbed, limbed and topped.
After that there are 2 Oregon White Oak that I will trim, thin and take out the dead. They are growing alongside and over an historic building here in Randle.
Then a several fruit trees to prune.
Then, a Big Doug Fir in a yard needs the limbs raised about 25 feet. The chipper will be getting a good workout in coming weeks.
Waiting on permits to do a Silvaculture burn on 20 acres of logging slash, then replanting it.
Have applied for permits from the Highway Dept. to remove 3 BIG Ponderosa Pine on the right-of-way. The trees belong to a private party but are on D.O.T. right-of-way.
Also, somewhere in there I have to rebuilt the chicken coop and tear off the old front porch off the Yurt and build a new one.

Not much thanks to this damn rain....

I do not like working in a hard rain, but I live and work in western Washington, USA. The wood stove at home has wet work gear hanging around it for 8 months out of a year.

Paul Goodall

You live in a Yurt... that's cool! Got any pics?

Scott Augur

http://www.scottstree.netOnly one pic of my daughter in law and grandson going in the front door. I'm on the work computer, not my personal computer where all my pics are. Here is a link to my website, you might enjoy some of the videos of tree work.

Paul Goodall

Scott that Douglas Fir in the first vid on your website was an amazing fell.

Eric Frei

Phew, that was a tight drop, great video.

Great accurate drop ! I feel you took a big chance dropping it between the structures...an inch or two and your name would have been rubbish for ever, it takes years to build a reputation and two seconds to lose it and an arborist rep is only as good as his last cut. Now that I said that, you did plan the drop, it went as planned, many would not have the skill to do what you did. So I

All the Best

I just got here so looking for a job is what im doing. I have seen some cowboys around already but there seems to be some very good operators as well. There is some shocking tree work being done on privates at the sunshine coast though

I'm working on getting my next contract. I took a look at three residential jobs yesterday. I shouldn't have wasted fuel on looking at two of them. One was to trim four 8 meter queen palms. I said $200, and I seriously doubt I get it for that. The other one is a four day job taking down four 20 meter Elms that are hanging over everything and grind out the stumps. I said $3,050, and I doubt those people have that in their entire savings given the area they live in. The other one with three 25m Eucs hanging over everything I said $2,250. They're in a good neighborhood, so I think they can handle that.

I wait and work on the ads etc. I hired a web specialist yesterday to promote my services.

Had a holliday in Sydney now I'm having a rest to get over the holliday. It's a hard life. Doing a few chainsaw courses & working safely at heights over the next couple of months, they are always interesting. I love rain but plays havoc with work. If anyone knows of any camphorlaurel trees they want removed we use the timber at our volunteers shed it would be put to good use.

BBBTree

Here's what the 3 Eucs look like that I started today. They're the biggest ones on the hill. There's a lot of stuff around, so I'm guying these out as much as possible.

My pics aren't showing up. How do you all post your pics off of your phones?

Hi Eric,

I actually joined up to find an qualified arborist to give us a free quote and some suggestions on trimming a rather large fig tree we have. Could you recommend anyone? Thanks.

Quentin Nicholls

Installed Arbortrack our tree and vegetation management software into The City of Onkaparinga last month, who have 780,000 trees to manage. Looking forward to installing the same system into The City of Tea Tree Gulley next month.

been flat out trying to buy a lucas 10/30 i am in north coast of n.s.w. so if anyone can help let me no, thank you....

Hello fellow tree enthusiasts. I visited the largest tree by volume today in New South Wales, Australia. The Bird Tree. North of Taree in Middle Brother National Park.
I looked up the video linked to this site that showed some folks going to see the tree recently and I hate to be a kill joy but, they showed the wrong one.
As there are no info signs to be seen there and I have visited the Valley of the Giants in South Western Australia the trees near the car park did not seem so big. So we walked further into the bush and found one with a raised wooden walk way around it and it definitely filled the bill for biggest.
So sorry guys you will have to go back.
Tricia P.

ok, do you have evidence of your claim? if so post some photos...

LOL, well bugger me.

I was the one who went there and saw the signs, saw the tree all fenced off.

Jeez, what's worse than the internet making heroic claims is those that make even more absurd claims with no supporting evidence, after all it was a video that sent you here but you offer nothing but cheap talk, no pics, no video ..... .
