I would not be surprised if it were possible. The thicker gauge sheets of any length can be heavy! Add to that an instant deceleration... sort of how a guillotine works, isn't it? There are an unimaginable numbers of ways to be badly hurt or killed in an instant.

I tried putting a couple of those jackdonkeys on ignore, but then just put the whole Political section on ignore. It's a much more useful forum that way. Funny thing, the two individuals I ignored only show up in the other threads I read once or twice a year, but they were a constant presence on...

Man, that's a trashy mess. I would have chickened out and at least bucked that leaning dead stuff down before cutting that one, especially being a co-dominant. Great job, though!

Nice job! Cooper's are neat birds.

My brother did that exact thing while building his house some years back. A passing stray shower caught him by surprise. He fell two stories but luckily landed in a semi-soft dirt pile. He suffered two compression fractures of lumbar vertebrae and soft tissue neck injuries. It still hurts him...

Great find! Nice price and an easy fix makes that a really good deal. Enjoy!

That happens to the best of us. But if it's broke, it sure doesn't hurt to try!

I'm looking forward to when the next batch is available. I've procrastinated on getting one of these for far too long.

Yes, indeed, after wasting time/footage telling you what they had for lunch and what their dog did yesterday. There are some good/helpful videos out there, as you say. The only two that I consistently watch occasionally for "entertainment" are "Wilson Forest Lands" and "Davey's Logging". Two...

I don't think it's retardation, or maybe it is and I have it too. I do find some videos useful, if I'm looking for specific information, but would really prefer to read a written document. That way I can easily skip over non-pertinent information. But I really have little patience for most...

I think the long strings you get when "noodling" with the grain tells you that an individual tooth does not chatter in and out of the wood with each pass, as in the middle diagram. I believe that, when bucking, the chip length is determined to some extent by the chips breaking at the growth...

Yep, that's the one! Thanks. The version I have saved doesn't include the front "cover" either - I was always curious why. But of course it doesn't affect the content.

As a newer member, would you care to expand on this, please?

That's interesting; it seems to me that my CBN wheel produces less heat than the pink Oregon-type wheel. What material are the Franzen wheels made of? I'm always curious to see if there's a better mouse trap out there somewhere... ;)

I'm a reader anyway, and I really appreciate reference material on subjects I'm interested in. I have a Carlton chain manual in PDF form I came across some years ago, and the recurring theme throughout the whole manual was "if your saw's not cutting right, 90% of the time it's because it's not...
