Hey; who knows how to go about posting a video?

I upload to youtube for all of mine. There's a share button and then use the embed code and copy/paste in the window where you type your post and it's there.

I'm fine. Had to stop and some grub ready for the bbq.
I'm building for a client. I am taking it all the way. The owner gets the lot(s), we get a plan worked out then I do the project management. More often than not I get to log the property for the building pad and road.
Right now though got nothing to cut on, so I'm looking for a strip to cut on.

Man , those moro... Errrr guys over in the barber chair thread are taking themselves very seriosly over there.
For the love of god , relax already

If you want to get a bunch of chainsawers going (or a few in the firewood forum) just suggest that they shouldn't be sharing their falling "techniques" or giving how to lessons. Some of us get serious just trying to keep bad advice from getting someone killed. I try to stay out of most of those threads because I don't need to be giving advice either but sometimes I can't help myself. I did manage to avoid the barber chair fray which is now turning into a pulling fray - something about which I do know a little. I'm not jumping in though. The last one I did involved a respected firewooder who was recommending the use of a 3/16" cable because it was light, flexible and strong enough to make his pickup truck spin its tires. Maybe the perfect set-up for whatever he was doing but certainly not good general advice and likely dangerous advice.

Now back to business with a question or two for our resident herpetologist, twochains. Does poison ivy make a snake itch? If so, how does it scratch?

Roberte can you track down that td8 and ship it to me lol ......

Falling wise its cool, clear cut in a short setting and selective thinning to let light in.
I lay the trash out, put the good stuff on top, no one around to mess with me cuz its falling. Call for a shovel when I'm ready.

My day stared good but ended badly. Spend about hour and 45 minutes cutting up a red oak, then weedeating and weed pulling and then put together another PM800 only to have the flywheel loosen and chip the crankshaft while I was testing it. Ron

ron that little cable sounds so funny to me, I have broke brand new 3/4 before. guess I take equipment for granted, been around it all my life. I do realize most don't have access to it. Robert I bet ya don't have to pay for wood on that type job do ya
