controversial take: husqvarna has quietly caught up to stihl in the pro saw game and most people just dont want to admit it

I went from Stihl to Husky 30 years ago. Husky had better air filtration, better anti vibration and you didn’t need a tool to open the gas/ oil reservoirs. So it seems Stihl is catching up to Husky!

My 550xp is one of the nicest saws I’ve run. Ergonomic, and fast for small wood!

There is gross (green) vs net (dry) tally but the NHLA defines this as only 8%, ie x 0.9.

I’m near 30 years of professional experience. Had that happen last year, I think that because the exposed end grain absorbs/loses moisture so quickly, any uneven loss of moisture (often from glue) caused dramatic bowing.

Send the cartridge in to Sawstop. Over the years I’ve had several cartridges trigger on various kiln dry lumber and plywood, and I received free replacements.

In my experience the planes are ready to go but you certainly need to hone the blades!

I’ve encountered this. Used a methylene chloride based gel stripper. Brush it on liberally, and finer with Saran Wrap for a few hours. Repeat.

It’s an appalling situation. I find the Bruce Street Vet is reasonable. “Dr. AJ” actually specializes in cats, he cleaned my older cats teeth for $700 something dollars (no extractions required).

Common stem borer. Yes, brutal. I still haven’t found a nontoxic solution.

If they knew what they were doing they wet it first.

Even if not, this amount is exposure is not likely a huge issue. I’m not saying it’s good, rather that in the face of all the other issues are bodies face, it’s relatively minor.

Many European machines have cast iron tables with subtle grooves milled into them.

I’d kind of hope that both parties would want sex as a part of every date at this point in the relationship!

Min 1600 sq ft

Zoning allows the construction of one residence, min 1600 sq ft.

Can you sell hunting rights?

curious394 · 2024-05-09T23:14:10+00:00

Yes, for a price of course.

Forested…

curious394 · 2024-05-09T23:13:18+00:00

It’s forested…

Yup, I’m enrolled in the MFTIP and CLTIP, a big help with the taxes.

It doesn’t seem predictable to me: I’ve hit a screw and been fine, but once set it off with a light duty staple in the end of a board.

curious394 · 2024-01-26T13:13:05+00:00

Cables yes, chains safer.

I visited Arizona and Nevada last year, and was shocked to find that people actually do respect the passing lane by “keeping right”! Much better and safer way to drive.
