Ladies SHOULD be allowed to use a pole saw!
Переглядів 4073 роки тому
Can a small muppet lady can use full size tree trimming saws, and if so, which kind would they prefer? I firmly believe that ladies should NOT be prohibited from using large saws to cut branches. That may not be a popular stance, but I stand by it! My wife is a great sport!

Pole saw or bow saw for trimming trees?

Obviously, you are going to want a pole saw AND a bow saw, if you have a lot of trees to trim, or if you need to trim branches that are out of your reach, but which saw actually cuts better?

So many tools...so little bench space
Переглядів 6533 роки тому
Bench space is at a premium in my semi-small shop. So, I created a multi-use tool docking station that allows me to swap benchtop tools in and out! You could also apply this concept and build a small work table in your shop where you could easily swap tools in and out to make better use of your bench space.

😂😂 why don't use angle grinder with core bit... Would make your work way easy
I put it together in less than 5 minutes and my neighborhood communal cat spends his nights in it. I put it in my carport to keep it dry and it is going on it's 3rd winter here in Wenatchee.
My god, that's an axe handle not a mahl stick, but hey, if it works for you.
7:05 why does mine pop out everytime
Sorry it’s a late response, but I hope you can help. Im a lady similar age, weigh 8 stone, about 5 ft 9, weak. I’ve only used curved manual saws for cutting branches would I be strong enough to handle a battery pole saw with a 10 inch chain saw on the end. Would I be able to cope with kick back safely, or how could I avoid kick back if I’m cutting a branch amongst many other branches. Is it safe if the chain pole saw falls down onto a lower branch, or side branch, immediately after its sawn through the correct branch, as I’m not sure if I could steady it when it gives way on the cut through. Do I have to make sure the chain saw doesn’t touch any other branches, whilst it’s sawing. I haven’t tried a manual pole saw yet, but I think, although safe, I wouldn’t get much done because, like your wife, it would take too long. Thank you for this video.
(This is just my opinion, so do check the safety information available on the saw your are considering). I wouldn't think that kickback poses a big threat with a pole-chain saw. You are far enough away from the saw that it wouldn't kick into your body. Also, it being on a pole helps keep it away from you if it does kickback. Gravity helps this kind of a saw if you start sawing at the top side of a branch. Always think through where the saw will go if it kicks back and where it will go after it cuts through the ranch. As with most tools, with a little forethought, you should be fine. Best of luck.
@@PatrickParsonWorkshop Thank you for your information. It’s very helpful.
Lol your cat just fits😂
I've had one of these for years. Cats who hate eachother by day will sleep in there together at night to survive. It sits on a patio. I only have one door now but they still use it. Would not set direct on the ground. Have also put a plastic tarp over it when we had a lot of rain. It still works well, easy to clean even when I had some spraying problems. I also use plastic bins w/ sheets of Styrofoam. I find them via Freecycle or NextDoor in my area.
Semper Fi!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I thank you because it made my job easier again. Thank you very much and God bless you.
You are very welcome
Thank you for the time for the video. It was very useful to me and it made it very easy for me. Thank you very much and God bless you.
green tea is the winner simple and it looks amazing
acrylic paint is an addicting sport th4 possibilities are endless
Love this thank u
If you want an authentic old distressed look, you might consider sanding off the planer marks.. amateurish and phony otherwise. To stop the blotching, first rub on paint thinner or equivalent and let soak for awhile. This will then be the hiway for the "danish" oil to penetrate uniformly.
Thanks. I may try that, Jeff.
It's called Marlin 39M Golden Mountie, I have one. My brother has the 39A. Just saying.
Hello Patrick, I live in Ireland, and I bought a remlin cowboy made in 2003, a few issues which are now sorted, needed finishing off ejector spring, ect mechanism was notchy but with a bit of filling it now works real smooth, very pleased, 20 inch octagonal barrel, and top grade timber, very accurate indeed,
Great idea. Might have to make some dust this weekend.
You adscured the natural beauty of the walnut by staining it. A tung oil finish is the way to go, no wax needed. Also should replace the bullseye and the butt plate spacer along with the sling swivel and original round front sight hood.
Omg I love the kitty has to photo bomb your video
Hi Patrick. I'm interested in making this Duck Brooder. Can I ask how high is it from top to bottom? Also how think is the plywood? I have ducklings that are 2 1/2 weeks old and they getting tall so I'm wondering if 24" height is good enough to keep them in there until they frow full feathers so they can regulate their own temperaturs. Also I think your plywood appears to be 1/2" to 3/4" but I was thinking of using thinner plywood, like 3/8" to keep it light for moving it around, which is not often. Thanks in advance.
Great questions. I honestly don't remember how high it was. It was for a friend, so I don't have it handy. I would agree that making the box 8 - 12 inches taller would be a good thing. That would give you flexibility regarding how far from the ducklings the light is. I would go with 3/8" plywood, as you suggested, for exactly that reason (less weight). Thanks and good luck.
really like that green one, was surprisingly colorful
I like the Lyric mic. I have had a few of them. That said, I'd rather have a Jimmy. Not sure what it is about blue muppets that gets me right in the ticker. 🙂
Thank you so much! I know exactly what you mean about the blue muppets. Since you love them too, I will tell you the story of Jimmy (I've never told anyone this online): Jimmy started his life as a Jim Henson Studios Whatnot. I don't believe they make them anymore. They were the random muppet that you would see in a Sesame Street scene...like muppet extras. I bought him on Ebay, after having the idea of adding a sidekick to my channel. Jimmy DiResta, the famous artist/maker/UA-camr was the inspiration. He is a guy who knows how to make anything (and shouldn't a sidekick on a DYI channel know how to do everything?). He was made with a leather jacket and had a completely different look. I found some very small clothes (0 - 3 months old), hat, and doll glasses. I made his beard out of a throw pillow that had that material. I found the little Jimmy patch at an antique store. I thought he looked like he came from the northeast (NY, NJ...), so I tried to give him that accent. I use camera and editing tricks to fit him into the scenes and I do all the puppeteering and voice myself. Figuring out how to fit him into the video is really my favorite part of doing this. I love him and he makes me laugh...which is weird, because I am him. Well, maybe a true muppet fan can understand. Thanks for your comment. Hope you keep watching!
The durhams water putty if i use it outdoors and it rains would it Liquified again . I was wondering once it drys and i sand it do i need to put prime then paint it to seal it from getting wet and from coming undone again ?
Thank You! I purchased a guitar that had the Lyric system already installed. The previous owner installed the battery on the block that contains the serial number and model number. They also wire tied to the top sound board. I removed the entire system and purchased a new battery pack pouch and adhesive clips from our friends over at StewMac.I cleaned up the old install and followed your instructions. The Lyric works extremely well. All wires are secured properly and are out of sight and away from the sound board. This was very helpful. Thanks again!!
Awesome! Glad this helped. I have installed every model of pickup that LR Baggs makes now. My new favorite is the HIFI. It has a great sound. The Lyric is very solid.
Great video. I just used bicarbonate soda to to remove oil from a bare wood side table top. It only took a few minutes to remove. I poured a fair amount on the stain and then just rubbed it over the stain by hand. I have to give credit to my wife for the suggestion.
This video will serve as my reference video on aging my projects. Thanks for taking the time.
Glad it was helpful!
I have literally searched and searched for help lol. Have you ever tried to get a brown stain no orange or red hues from cedar? I built cedar shutters from fence boards and they are sanded smooth and I want a brown tone like true walnut. I’m finding this to be impossible to achieve. Do you have any suggestions? Please and thanks!
Hey Patrick, just was going through some videos and happened across through yours and wanted to say hello. Hope you and your family is doing well. Hope you guys had a great Christmas. You guys take care.
Thanks, you too!
That's a great tip, and I never knew such an attachment existed. I have to drill some holes underneath an existing boiler situated in a cupboard for a condensate pipe outlet, so this will be a real help. Love your honest review, and your cat is a real cutie! Thank you 😊
Glad I could help! Yes, that little cat is a blessing.
I can't see these water resistant in rainy England, look too flimsy!
Yes. They need to be under cover of a porch, carport, or something like that. I understand the flimsiness comment. When I think about it though, they are as sturdy as they need to be. Nothing should be on top of it. If it's on a porch or under cover, there probably won't be anything bumping it, so it is a rigid as it needs to be.
Have done a shelf with the while vinegar n steel wool trick n it turned out great. It gives an aged look, was really surprised
Great job. Thanks for the ideas, and love the desk/bench!
I thought the entryway hole was supposed to be about 6 inches above the bottom of the house so other predators wouldn't be going in, Also, the hole itself is rather large. I see no problems for possums and raccoons getting in there.
I Bought this exact cat house in Oct 2023 and yes oh possum and other feral cats can get into it. No this from experience had another cat get into a fight with our feral cat. He sprayed all around it and now it stinks so bad. I don’t know what to do about it. it is not fully weatherproof. I had to make an extra shelter to go over the top of it for the winter.
well done! 🙂
Thanks Patrick! I'm curious how the Matcha Tea stain aged over time. Did the wood keep that nice bright green color?
cat just wants to be in the vid lol! Nice vid - game me heaps of ideas - thanks!
Cat is helping so much. I have the same issue😆.
These cats aren’t feral. They are tame. Why not bring the poor things inside.
Genius! My neighbor keeps abandoning her cats. Thanks for the video. My house is full!!!!
The music is beautiful
Hello... i have an old 7mm Remington hunting rife with a similar crack but a bit longer in length.... this may be a stupid question but is it safe to shoot a rifle with a hair line crack? Thank you!
What happenes if the cat urinates on the pad?
It’s not even insulated!
Thank you for saving a true classic. They don’t make them like that anymore. Nice work, and don’t sweat the missing bullseye inlay. They are easy to find and easy to install if someone wants to in the future. I love marlin rifles, but personally never liked the cheap plastic bullseye inlay. I always thought it cheapened the rifle.
First year Marlin made these was 1891. The same gun Annie Oakly got famous shooting. The longest continuous made ,shouldered firearm ever made buy anyone.
What's best if I want framing lumber to look more like it's been in a house for 30 years and not replaced recently? Not weathered, but not new like the first guy out on a beach who never had any sun when everyone else had a tan
Problem is its too light. A cold wind will blow it over. Of course if its on a porch thats ok. Also you need access to electricity. Its nice but not doable for most feral cats. My ferals live in a wooded lot. Ok for that poor neighborhood stray maybe. Your cats are not feral? Still this man is a gem.
Thanks for taking car of these cats. We got the same house for are two house cats but they never used it. We had a stray come around and she did use it. The house gets soaked when it rains so good thing you built a roof. WE have brought her (the stray) inside for the winter and she is doing very good. So I'm very happy about that. Thanks again for being kind.
i put a round piece of ply on the bucket lid to bolt my cyclone to you can make the pipe replaceable by drilling a pilot hole in the side of the holder plywood with the hole in it and run a screw into the pipe
Man that’s lame as hell. C’mon dude man-up and let’s see what you got. You can did better than that. DIY and impress us all
Over the years, ive bought tons of cat shelters, most of them sit unused. I currently build a tarp and plywood cave under an outdoor patio table. I lean some plywood panels against the sides of the table to make walls, then drape the table with two tarps. I lay a tarp underneath the table and curve the tarp up on the sides to keep water out. Then i lay down a heavy moving blanket and lay a large heating pad on top of that, and lots of smaller blankets i throw on top the heating pad. It becomes like a cave under the table with exits on each end. Luckily i have an outdoor outlet for the heating pad which is convenient, and a partially covered deck where the table sits. I also have a secondary house atop the table, which is just one of those cat play pens covered on top, and filled with with blankets and small heating pad. They all like the table cave best
