And this is the stove really making heat:

I cleaned the glass on my Lopi Freedom and I wanted to share the recirculating smoke firing off. I thought that was cool.

The climbers companion says to visualise the bag going where you want it to go. I think that's good advice. Also remember that it's coming from 5 feet in front of you. Not from your eyes. I make myself wear gloves if I'm throwing hard at all so I don't burn the crap out of my fingers. I also...

Cardboard and tape prototype. I've made two purses for my wife out of cracker boxes. Second one didn't turn out that well because I didn't think out the handles that well. I'm gonna make handles for this one. All corners need tape too.

After thinking about what I wrote, I got an idea. The mostly healthy poplar is very different than my rotten maple. If you pull limbs off that tree, they're gonna weigh in, and smash you flat. Instead, tie that falling tree up with two rigging lines. Relieving it of 800 lbs of work or so...

I just dismantled a white maple that was sick for years and was constantly dropping widowmakers. There were a few sticks that I thought might let go when I was up in it. I threw my slickline around them, one at a time, pulled my rigging line through, yanked on them with all I had and then...

Like you, I figured gluing the accelerator pump shut would create a lean condition. Maybe I do have a lean condition compared to how it ran in 2007 or whenever I got the saw, but I can't remember 2007. I'm happy. It rips. Steps to success: 1. Order a new carb from your saw shop. 2. While...

Accelerator pump. If it's not your bug now, it will be. Check it. I'm serious.

Thank you! I don't have to buy a new saw because of this thread. Whoever figured out this essentially internal vacuum leak from the accelerator pump is a saint and probably a patient person. Why doesn't the kit at least come with an O ring for the accelerator pump? I glued mine shut like...

Put me down for one more carb fixed by gluing the accelerator pump shut without the spring in it. I've purchased many carb kits thinking the next one would fix it. Replaced the carb intake boot, pulse/fuel line, all that. I think that any 200T that's still around that has an accelerator pump...

I know. I think that's funny. My mom's has an 026 that I think she's had since 89. Two hours a weekend would be around 2000 hours. It still rips. I don't see it ever needing a top end. I kinda want to, just to see what it looks like inside.

I don't even know. I know I can use up over a gallon (4 liters) of premix before I replace rings. At 50:1 and if I get 20 mpg that's 1000 miles. I mix leaner than that and I might not get all of 20 mpg. Every time I replace rings I doubt that I wated long enough. If you follow the manual...

I ride dirtbikes. Anyone that uses a fully synthetic premix such as motorex or redline can mix his fuel as lean as 100:1. I've been mixing my fuel around 60-75 or so. Every time I put new rings in or replace a piston I look in the bottom end and I'm always amazed as to how much freakin' oil...

I have a Volvo wagon and a Chevrolet truck. I have 2 stihl saws, and a Partner 500. My mom has an 026 Stihl and she drives a Saturn Vue and a Chevy truck. I wouldn't hesitate to drive a Ford or a Dodge. I'd rock the Husky saw too. I ride KTM dirtbikes. I wouldn't hesitate to ride a...

Just so you know, I didn't water grass around this tree. When I bought my house the damage was done. Somehow he's stayed up for the 10 years I've lived here.

My vote doesn't count. I don't do this for a living. I must say that stress and relaxation can exist at the same time and place. If you're ultimately chasing the happiness question: I think you're a lucky bunch of folks. There's a huge chunk of people on this planet that are not proud...

I just looked a little longer at this thread. I saw pictures of a saw with frozen vegetable oil in it. You guys are tough. I also think that using vegetable oil to lube your chain makes a bunch of sense. More than one of you said something about the Sthil bio chanin oil. I read Sthil's...

Do you mean in my car? I'd run my 83 Mercedes 300D on veggie oil if I could get a good source of the stuff used in California without getting in trouble. It's a big deal here to transport the stuff without a licence. I don't actually cut wood for a living. I put gas in my saw from my...

My dad called me from New Orleans and told me about this article he read in the paper the other day. Copied from: http://www.nola.com/news/t-p/metro/index.ssf?/base/news-12/1137430627313980.xml With fall, tree cutter's life came crashing down He can't work since accident on tall pine...
