Does it involve as much boiling as maple syrup? I made the mistake of doing the only batch I've made on the stove top...🤦‍♂️

it involve boiling it down....I can't remember how many times...been awhile since I've seen it done old florida way. I just shave bark off and chew on it for the juice....like in my second pic. we always did this as kids. i still do it with the small bunch I grow every year.

Crag the Brewer Crag the Brewer three etches and then cleaned the applicator and threw out the pad. I don't recommend waiting longer than that

I'll look under mine, I didn't think it darkened?
I'll have to keep that in mind.
It's a used commercial unit, I'm not sure how it's conductive as I didn't take it apart. I know they use the pads a long time though

The big guys start off with reverse osmosis units taking out the first half of the water. It saves time, and wood.
Then they burn the later part. Also helps with color and flavor
 
Running a tool is like driving, if you do it so much you become bored, you are at risk. Each of my uncles has a pretty scar. One has one across both brows from one handing a little liming saw, no leverage to stop the rotation when the tip hit a branch behind the one he was cutting. Some people run one their whole lives and never get cut. Mine have never cut me when running, only when filing or changing chain. Two rules I never break, stiff left arm and brake before moving.

I do not have one sweet tooth, I have 25. Ask me where the other three went!?.

13 years in tree care and I still have all of my fingers and toes... There is a small bit missing from one of the mentioned fingers though.

Very true. Most of the chainsaw accidents I have seen are careless or just stupidity. I tend to get sloppy running a saw when I get tired, so I downsize to lighter ones when that happens. I hate it when you are cutting up trees that have been felled into a jumbled mess and suddenly have one springboard! I have cared for lots of patients with tool accidents- never a noob. One guy took the guard off his circular saw to ‘save time’, and it ran over his leg when he set it down on plywood still running while kneeling.
Y’all stay safe.
