Mark, I use the long handled chisel to snip fibers when the split opens up. Thin webs are fairly easy. Thicker ones take some work. I use the 'chisel' in an X-pattern, never parallel to the split side but rather criss-crossing to cut those stubborn sections. In extreme cases, I will use a series of parallel strikes as close as I can make them, moving toward the bevel, then rotate the chisel as far as the split will allow, repeating to for the X-pattern. I get a small pile of irregular diamond chips each pass. Rachel is my daughter; she's a recent graduate from Morrisville State in NY, majoring in equine science. She's not afraid of yard work and has an abundance of attitude! Gary Katsanis Albion NY, USA -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [OldTools] Battle with an english walnut tree.

The real Roy was replaced sometime in late 2008 by an unknown actor named Billy Shears. There are a myriad of clues that have been worked into the show by producer Geary Morton. -- Zachary Dillinger The Eaton County Joinery www.theeatoncountyjoinery.com 517-231-3374 On Fri, Sep 4, 2015 at 1:15 PM, Michael Blair |

Yup - I can certify that he's older than he used to be. He'll qualify for Medicare before next Christmas. Phil |

Earlier post came up blank, go figure. I'll give St. Roy a pass on vanity as he works through his 7th decade and 35th!! Season of the show. I do wonder why he's wearing so much black of late, maybe he lost someone important to him. Michael-wondering when any of my 3 PBS stations will let me see 2/3rds of the current season before shunting off the other third to 2016 On Fri, Sep 4, 2015 at 10:47 AM, Phil Schempf |

GGs Reg Prescott might not be a familiar name to North Americans, but he had a big following in the UK, Australia and New Zealand in the mid 70s.
