18:58 "I only act like an engineer" That is obvious, as an engineer would have made provision for spanner flats on the bolt (or some other improved method of screwing the bolt into the tree, instead of using pipe grips, as that is poor practice in the extreme, just look at how it mars up the electro-zinc plated surface at 5:10. That's just what you need for long term corrosion protection!
Try to screw in the bolt with some linseed oil. This is much easier and the slightly biocidal effect of the linseed oil protects the wood from infections.
I make strap clmps using old hot water heater and buy bolts nuts ,bolts,cables, the cables i use for cross bracing so the tress cant sway back and forth,,,i live in kansas where theres lots of wind
I have plans on doing one in the cedar trees I have on my property. Will the rust from these or drilling into the tree compromise the health of the trees?
Great video. I learned more in 22+ minutes than in several hours of other videos. This is what an instructional should be, not introductions with the family or pets just information from a person with experience telling me what works and what doesn't. Looking forward to more videos.
