Miniature folding brace
Where can I buy a miniature folding brace for use with 1/4 inch spur point
standard spiral wood boring bits? Can I further miniaturize the bit and brace set to perhaps palm size by finding a 1/4 inch hex shank bit and brace to fit it? I am installing hammocking hooks into trees in my area. Six hooks have been installed, two pair on private property, one in a park. They have been in use and under careful observation for one year now. Can any of you comment on the probability of killing a tree by screwing in a screw eye? I see each tree adapt to the insert in a different way and there's no way I'd want my hammocking or that of others using the same spots to kill a tree, yet in the long run, it seems the trees do OK. I don't install a hook pair everywhere I hammock. I carry a 40 foot nylon rope for routine use. But some spots are special, and if I return frequently, it seems reasonable to set a hard point, as the climbers say. The rope occupies the same volume in my pack that the hammock does. My back pack has plenty of room for both. My waist pack accommodates the hammock only. Try ftp://users.aol.com/GPSHammockList or ftp://users.aol.com/GPS%20Hammock%20List if you wish. This is my user ID for sharing GPS coordinates of hammock sites. In the /incoming directory. It doesn't seem to be working. What do you see from your internet access point, please?

So that is who I spend my time with. |

Perhaps less than 40 feet of rope would work? I would think two 10' pieces could work for many spots. How the heck do you manage to make this hammock-trek frequently enough to wanna tease the rest of us shmoes what gotta make a livin' with questions about the propriety of puttin' hooks in trees to further your R&R? Curious minds wanna know. Your gin and tonic, sir. Dan I carry the hammock, 40 feet of nylon rope rolled into a ball, and a rain poncho or my Pocket PC in a leather-look butt pack. I have impaired glucose tolerance and require a period of rest after every period of exertion. Would you like me to post the locations to ftp://users.aol.com/GPSHammockList/incoming ? I gotta make a living, too. It's just the three most accessible spots. No more now. For when I am down to near no luggage: a pack of cigarettes, my wallet, keys, and lighter, and the hammock. I tread lightly through the woods to the hammock point in Upton Hill Park. You'd barely know I'd been there. Is that with mint? I thought I ordered mint.... Actually, I get almost all the drink I need from the food I eat. That eight glasses a day line is Perrier bull****. Doug |

But no plans to install more screws just now. I have the Ryobi electric screwdriver and Crafstman hex shank adjustable depth countersinking wood screw bit set. Those will do. |
