I try everyday to be more like my Grandma Dugan. Thanks for this area in the woods of the Internet BBRay

    I'm an electrician. How ever I love cutting wood. I found a place to rebuild my chain saw and convert it from a 20 inch bar to a 28 inch roller bar with a chisel chain. McCullough pm 610. Love that saw. I found a replacement for my 20 inch and purchased it last Thursday. This new saw has so much McCullough engineering in it that I believe McCullough is Back. Just under a new name. I'll run the saw and let you know. I'm excited with my new purchase. I'd love to purchase one of your Axes. Only request Burn your name into the handle. How cool is that? This is another great video. Thanks for sharing all your skills and Knowledge. I am so happy I found your site on line.

    Sailors call that 'whipping' on ropes and line. Stagehands too. This is actually standard whipping. There is a bunch of different ways. Hey Billy instead of the glue try painting on some paragon wax. Or dipping the whole head and wrap. The heat will shrink the cord a bit and seal her up. Sha-clang! Thank you for your positivity in this world. We need more of it brother!

    My dad taught me how to do it by using a strong braided twine on boat hooks and gaffs. It was a fisherman's trick. My uncle used to put his picks, shovels and axes in salt water. The salt water makes the wood swell up..

    • @brocknasty3270
      @brocknasty3270 3 роки тому

      Yeah as a temporary fix some folks would put a loose/wobbly head in water to swell the wood and make it tight again, problem is the water would soon evaporate and the wood would shrink and be looser than when ya started lol I think oil is the best for that because it can soak in and not evaporate. Did your uncle use the salt water to keep the heads tight or for something else?

  • @anthonypuccio9575
    @anthonypuccio9575 3 роки тому +2

    Scotch tape works well to hold the ends in place. I also use elmers glue cut 50/50 with water and brush it on to hold the cord together. It works good when you whip the end of rope to keep it from fraying.

    Hi BBR, another way to help yourself is to tape the loop to hold the cord in place! You can also put a loop top and bottom and at the end you can pull against each other and the cord gets pulled into the centre. You cannot move it!! Great video! Love and kindness to one and all.
