I like your red neck tiller tree there Mike.

Decent looking string angle on that thing. Looks like a winner to me.

Your hooks are not opening up much at all, and that’s a good thing…. Are you using tip wedges?

Thanks for the photo… made my whole day.

No tip wedge I thought about using one until I used my redneck tiller thingy. Also thinking about one of those fancy tiller trees----not sure where I have room to put it.

Explain please

Some like semi or static tips never quite understood why.

jess stuart · « **Reply #76 on:** May 16, 2023, 06:49:40 PM »

Smoother and quieter in my experience. Statics have become my favorite design.

I’ve been using an auto clear coat for quite a few years now. I found a product that is pretty user friendly, absolutely clear as glass, and holds up real well after it’s cured properly…. That’s the trick…. getting it done, and keep it above 70 degrees for 36 hours before messing with it.

Btw…. This stuff is half the cost of most auto clear coats, and far superior to any epoxy clear coat like Thunderbird … that stuff yellows out with age and is NOT user friendly at all by comparison.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #78 on:** May 18, 2023, 08:09:31 PM »

the next one has tip overlays glued on and prolly get it strung tomorrow.

What wood is the riser Stic??
