Art Martin: Will the Real Logger Please Stand Up

[Bill G]

Art was a gentleman and a scholar PERIOD. I am glad to have talked with him

Oh Please! there are alot better loggers out there than Art Martin was. If you were any god damn good, your still doing it, never gave it up, or couldn't do it anymore due to phisical problems or they were just afraid of timber. How much did the OP really know about Art Martin?
All I got out of Art was a decoy race chain! I think Tommy Fales Sr., was one of the real loggers.
Regardless, there's alot of unsung heroes out there and a few hasbeens who are pumped up to be alot more than what they were.
If Art was any kind of a logger, he'd still be on here. Loggers do it all, timber fallers just work for someone else.

Gypo, what is the difference between a logger and a timber faller?

and regarding your decoy race chain, is this the one that you started a thread about and had praise for? what turned out to be wrong with it?

not stirring the pot, just curious.

Was doing a search of the interwebs to find out if Ron Hartel is still around and wound up finding this thread. The pics posted early on are long gone, but what a gold mine of information. My search landed me on page 23 or something. Looked interesting so I started from the beginning. I have spent the last two evenings reading every single post. Possibly one of the best threads I've ever read on ANY forum. It's not often you can say that spending two evenings reading something on the internet until your eyes hurt was time well spent, but this certainly was. I couldn't read fast enough. Always hungry for more stories. More knowledge. Then I got to the obituary and damn near cried.

Created an account this evening just to say... Rest In Peace Mr. Martin. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Yup, Art Martin was the real deal. No BS, no ego, just tons of knowledge that he was willing to share.

 

[Mastermind]

Yeah....this thread was epic. I sure miss those pics.

Does anyone have any of the pictures saved that they can repost?
Videos were in this thread: http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=14132

I may have them saved somewhere.

Was there an issue with the videos being pulled? I have 15 of his videos saved.

I don't see them in that thread. I tried to reload them from the copies that I have, but the site would not accept that format.

See my recent post in that thread.

Subscribed. Wish I had been here with all the pics.

Philbert...

If you'd like to send me some of the video files I can probably convert them to file types the site will recognize.

Yeah, this "was" a good old thread....

 

[bcaarms]

Thanks for the effort to rebuild this. One of my favorites. I didn't realize the pics could just disappear, till one day they were gone.
