My dad broke me in when I was 18 and I'm 38 now so that would make it ...........20....subtract a year for I just turned 38 so now we are at 19, subtract a couple more years due to beer drinking chasing women raising hell and bad decisions. Now we are at 17....Hell, we better subtract seven more years cause 17 years experience makes me seem to damn old and no one will believe it anyway due youthful, and let's not forget handsome appearance, so I guess we'll call er square at 10. No....wait a minute, I was closer to 19 when the old man started teaching me the ways of the busheler so that leaves us a 9!

And 9 is 3 squared, then throw in leap years, the answer is always 6.
(I tried to be an engineer for a few long years).

When the 'ologists would ask how many truck loads a day would come down a road from a unit that had not even been looked at on the ground, not to mentione cruised, I'd tell them Six. That would make them happy and they would go away without using big words to confuse my brain.

OK, back to falling talk.
 
Low Banking

Here are a couple from today. I will be glad when the low banking is done on this job. Swinging the hammer is getting old!
 
I really appreciate you and Nate and everybody else here helping me not get squashed :rock:


You caught me red handed with the sissy hammer (cellphone for scale)

Did you buy this thing from a hobbit? I honestly have never seen or heard of anything like it being implemented to drive wedges! There are some things a man should keep to himself and this is one of those things! LOL You are brave and honest....you will do just fine. Still laughing at your Prias of an axe:laugh:
 
Whats up with the funny angle on that sizwheel? Looks like you cut a lot of fibers that could have held things in place. Unless the fiber was growing in a slanted manner. Do you understand what I am asking?

It has a funny angle because thats the way the grain layed. If you dont go with the grain they don't work, in fact they make things worse.
 
Hey Pat great video! You build a mean saw. Great pics too man! Did you also cut in behind the hinge on that sizwheel stump? Looks like sumthin there. You may have given me an idea. Seems like there could be more movement that way.
 
Jesus christ that's gotta be the biggest damn air filter or air filter cover, or whatever the hell that is, that I've ever seen. You could cook stew meat in that thing.

It's an ugly affair isn't it? I like to run those Uni Foam filters, but they don't like rain and brush so the big white thing is a rain/brush guard/stew pot. lol

Yes I did. It relieves the hinge quite a bit. An old busheler named Bob Nill showed me that.
