I finally broke down and watched it. It's pretty cool, I like throatsinging and all. BUT Something caught my eye. Is... is that... yes, I think it is, a thin of some sort. A few seconds earlier: I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS First: how did they get all of the logs and slash out with...

My Husky 2100 died awhile back due to the usual coil failure that plagues them. No problem, sourced a believed-good coil and flywheel (thanks Paccity!) but ran into trouble when the old flywheel wouldn't come off. Here are the normal things I tried: whack the flywheel end of the shaft, whack...

Looking for the following for a Stihl 084: full- or 3/4 wrap handle dawgs HD air filter base haven't looked up parts cross-reference from IPL for 088/MS880 yet, likely there's a lot of crossover have lots to trade, ask and I may have it, elsewise I'm happy to pay going price

Check it out -- we're a "Model Forest"! Anybody else work a forest on this list?

I'm designing a PMS schedule at work for all of our gear and would appreciate some input on gas-powered tools. I'm finding it really difficult to come up with logical and orderly maintenance items -- apparently a lot of what I do is so automatic I can't think of it to write it down. I'm...

Hot off the presses, here's the story. What do Alaska vets think?

There's a sort-of movie adaptation coming out this spring. (Uggh, he's holding the clinometer upside-down and in the wrong hand)

Georgia is only just now talking about a triple-stumpage penalty for timber theft? Does anybody know of any other states that don't follow this convention? I could do the research myself, but it would take much longer than I have attention span for.

A few of you will probably remember me lamenting that I couldn't find the calks I used to like, which had a square base and an odd adapter. I used to get them at Madsen's (this is 1996-1998 era), who sold them as "golf spikes", but haven't seen them in forever. Finally tracked them down, from...

Gauging interest for a late winter/early spring GTG here in Olympia. Apparently there are some hazard trees in a popular city park that need felled and bucked, and the volunteer opportunity could be a GTG opportunity. Unfortunately, bird nesting season drives falling times, so these things...

I just got this link from an associate. It corresponds very nicely to LiDAR data on our ownership over the same time period, so I expect it will be fairly accurate elsewhere. Big map, you'll have to zoom in and out to look at a given area

It could work.

Gettin' tired of crappy pot metal gears in Spencer tapes. Looking into having replacement gears printed in nylon or HDPE. Probably be about $25 a rebuild. Should last about twice as long as stock or better. Looking to gauge interest here. I won't be selling them, if I get them made. I'll...

SRS BSNS right here

Finally put together the box-o'-parts 064 I've been scrabblin' bits for since Hector was a pup. It runs, now, sort of... but the symptoms don't add up for me just yet. First -- this saw is 100% stock (as far as I know because the parts came from a lot of different places so I can only report...

So, why would a nominally logical person such as myself go and remove oiler, chainbrake, dawg, and chain catcher from a perfectly functional 036 like this? Well, it might be because I'm not going to use it as a chainsaw any more. WHAAAA?!?!?!?!?!? Yeah, I have this: and...

Chain Breaker: Chainbrake: Thank you, and you're welcome.

For I think 3 years now, I've had my crews use hedge trimmers for brushing trails and for cutting firebreaks in fine fuels. This is the one I prefer: We have 4 of them with the 30" blade. It's a great tool for broom, especially; you can walk through the thickest patch of the stuff and cut...

So, I was thinking about slowp's quote, attributed to Hooktender Keith: "a faller is merely a log truck driver with a chainsaw". It occurred to me that the corollary is also likely true: "if you take the chainsaw away from a faller, he becomes a log truck driver". Let's test that one out...

One of the work fleet crapped out a couple weeks ago while we were doing storm cleanup, and I didn't get around to fixing it until today. All I knew from my co-worker was "It didn't wanna stay running so I grabbed another". So, symptom elaboration time. Popped on three pulls. Flipped...
