Anyone seen the videos I made about turning a Harbor Freight fireman's hatchet into a usable camp axe?  If not, here it is.

Fun videos.  Thank you.  I use my short-handled axe to help in getting bark off of logs.  Works like a dream.  Clean an 8' maple log in less than a half-hour a couple of days ago.

What was the point? You spent $20.00 and several hours labor to make a camp axe you can buy for $20.00.

Sometimes you do, just to do I think. I personally would rather use a tool I made, rather than buy it.

I wonder if sometimes the video is the importance, not the tool/teaching.

Jeff

In the case of the original poster, he was here to troll. After posting some posts purely to get people to his website and a forum he had just created he was warned about it. He did not take that warning well, and it became absolutely clear his only goal here was to try and use the Forestry Forum to get people to view his website and his videos that have ads on them.

Oh, he is not longer here due to his response to the admins.

I know that it is against the rules but why does it matter.  The guy is obviously new.  Whats wrong with driving a little traffic to a guys new site?  When you started this site did you just sit here and wait for people to show up?  Probably not.  Just because it's a rule doesn't make it right.

Jeff

Clearly you don't know anything about internet forum decorum. I built this forum the hard way. Through paid advertising, networking in real life and legitimate means. Not freely on the backs of those that came before. Use this as an example. You are wanting to sell puppies. You put a flyer up at the store. The next day, you see someone has put a flyer right on top of yours.

Networking is visiting other sites right.  Getting your name out there.  It's pretty unfair to reprimand a guy for "networking".  The very way you started.

Jab, you need to work on your reading comprehension skills.  Jeff said that when he directed the man to the problem, the man was disrespectful.  We don't tolerate that with other members, much less the OWNER of the forum.

Jeff

You need to have the ability to look past the end of your nose on this to understand that if you allow such conduct, the forum would be inundated with nothing but people's personal ads and posts destroying  the purpose the site owner intended. In this case, I am the site owner, and his posts to advertise his website is not what my intentions are. Be the bigger man in your words then and understand I might know what I am talking about and doing after 16 years of it.

Jab had 12 posts here.  6 of them were about how he doesn't agree with how this site is run so I took care of his problem for him.

I know Jeff did right. I saw it,thought that would happen. Some on here have sites to visit. BUT they have to earn our,Jeff's, trust. Most site's are wood related too. He was brand new and tooting his horn.

Jeff is in the right.  Pretty simple concept, it's his house and it's his rules.  Not to mention his rules seem to work well.

Networking is going to somewhere and pressing flesh and talking. Hanging your banner at the entrance over the person putting the event on, who has planned, organized, paid for, done the legwork, opened my developed contact list, to present something I am selling, Service or product, is really a form of theft. Talking, passing out cards at my event, okay.

I'm just saying .   .   .

The bigger man is usually the one that takes what they want from others.

I'm just guessing but I think it is safe to assume you have never done the work to understand the cost of a opening a start-up business and keeping it successful. Competition = good. Theft = bad.

Arboristsite allows posting links to personal websites.

Perhaps, that's why we are here instead of there.   :-\

There are also security reasons why we have to be careful about outgoing links. The last thing I want, or any site owner wants to hear is that "I got a virus, or I got malware from clicking on a link from your forum". 
We don't know who many of these new people are. Actually no idea. We have no idea the real reason a person comes until it has become apparent from their forum activity. Letting people come on here and post links to other sites willy-nilly on the forum is not a good idea.

When the admins see an out going link, they usually investigate it if it is posted by a person that we do not know well. That takes time, but it something we try to do to make sure the integrity of the forestry forum is maintained.

That was certainly something I considered, but I do not see and I.P. evidence of that, but if you look at the posts, could very well be.

Messing about with 'puters is sometimes fun.  Sometimes I find myself someplace and I don't know how to get back.  I don't like that feeling.

I don't like it either, but usually, I just swivel around in my chair, and sure enough the rest of my bedroom is right there where it's suppose to be.  ;D

You can get them from a website you have administration control of, but he wouldn't get them from here unless he was able to hack the site. Most unlikely.
