- Another night video strife and blooper reels.
Since the weather won't allow me to get outdoors, I guess it's time to perform a little preventive maintenance and get ready for the tree climbing season that lies just around the corner.

I always look forward to new videos from you Wayne. Jack of all trades! Learn something new everyday ! Looking forward to the next video.
Wayne's 🌎World. I don't climb & never intend too but I now know how to sharpen whatever it was you called them now. I'll be watching and we'll see ya down the road. Thanks Wayne & tell SuzieQ hello.
Thank you Wayne for your time and sharing your knowledge. Love it. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
Hey buddy, thanks for the feedback! It's a real morale booster on a cold, wet winter morning!
@Wayne Polcin rainy and Grey here today in Northeastern Washington State as well. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
@Wayne Polcin an old climber gave me a set of Buckingham tree spurs and they didn't have any kind of pattern on the underside of the spike. He may have never maintained them. Got them to where they look and act more like they should. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
Got the point WP. Nice tutorial on something I know nothing about, but it’s interesting. Before and after shots are helpful so tanks and have a good one. Look forward to the rope thing tomorrow.
Very helpful gotta try that with my spikes I appreciate it stay safe
WILDMAN!
What are you doing at this late hour? Don’t you have to work in the morning? Good night, ⛄️!
@@WaynePolcin I'm working the night shift buddy
SnowMan! good to se you!
Very interesting, never had a close look at climbing spurs before
Good morning Wayne! Have a great day 🧡🌲👍🌳✌️
Very Knowledgeable been climbing for a long time wanted to brush up alittle on sharpen spurs watched a few videos most guys don't mention that the front side is Is machined flat and hardened if you sharpen it little loose its shape and hardening A+pluse
I don't climb, but I enjoyed the information. I am enjoying the daily countdown videos. April 2nd is right around the corner. Love to you and SuzieQ!
Sharp....seriously!👊😜🧡👍🔥
NEAT TO SEE HOW TO DO THIS
Another fine video production for us all to ponder (Let mind wander?) upon from.... What's his name? Stay tuned!! #WaynesWorld #MadeMeLaughAgain Hey Wayne! FYI on 04/01/2021 we will turn 66 years of age and already consider ourself as RETIRED (Although I am constantly looking for things to do). #StaySafe #BeKind #RambleOn (There's actually a Led Zeppelin song by that title: "Ramble On") Guess I should stop for now as my typing finger is killing me. #HashTagNotFound
That more important than saw chain! Ha
Hi Wayne
Nice video bro
Thanks for kind comment my friend!
Moving south. ...!!????
Bark versus skin bark always wins
You’re not supposed to sharpen the sides
Hey buddy! Was that a question or a statement?
@@WaynePolcin it's a statement, that's an incorrect technique my friend
And you never sharpen side to side you go with the grain hold the file sideways and pull towards you on the bottom of the gaf what you just did was ruin those gafs they should be taken off and tossed and new set put on
Hey guy, ĭ wonder where to buy some used gaffs 😳
Can agree they r sharp point/tip but a sharp point doesn't mean it will function well. I purchased used spikes and want to sharpen them for the first time but not to sure about this video. Have u actually climbed with those spikes, kinda like a chainsaw tooth a sharp pointed edge won't cut a function sharp tooth with a nice working corner is what u want
Hi Isaiah. Yes, I climb with these gaffs all the time. When I sharpen them, I make sure to follow the original contour of the spike. The inside of the spike must remain flat from front to back and you don't want to change the angle or shape of the point. The manufacturer makes a file guide that you can buy to make sure you keep the perfect profile. Thank you so much for leaving a comment!
