Foo - wood stretcher

my buddy has a cedar fence company. he's going to help me install a fence at "cost."

i have a post hole digger. my buddy said i'll need a string level and a wood stretcher too.

i've been to menards and home depot and they don't have a wood stretcher. anyone know where i can buy one?

Hole diggers are old school. I have a box of Acme Instant Holes that I use.

I think he is busting your chops. There is very little stretch in wood - now if you were putting up a barbed wire fence, that is another thing.

But, in case he is serious - a come along would work fine to stretch just about anything. Of course, he might have just wanted a stretcher made of wood to haul your carcass away after you are finished putting up the fence.

I'd say he's either messin' with you. Or it's some sort of wood product....... NOT a contraption that stretches wood.

Don't forget to get ten yards of power band, a left handed monkey wrench and a five gallon pail of steam... It helps with the stretching. :roflmao:

Stacey, you left the sky hook off your list.

What, you expect ME to think of EVERYTHING?!?!?! <exasperated Stacey look> :rolleyes:

Oh, a couple of feet of flight line to hold up that skyhook.

Thankfully this thread was not about what I thought it was.

:lol:

Hey, I got an email about that just the other day! So is this what they meant?

Helz yeah!

Don't forget the relative bearing grease and fallopian tubing.....:p

This fence we're doing here, not plumbing. You're complicating things. <sigh>

*smacks forhead*

D'OH!

Me too! How did they know I was in need?? :o

Don't forget to go and ask for a long weight too.

Is this fence for penning snipe? You might need some salt, too.

Many boats are made of wood, and everyone wants a bigger boat, so I would check a marine supply store. If they have one, it will be next to the prop wash.

In almost 6 years of construction including fence installation, 8 years of woodworking, and 10 years of watching the New Yankee Work Shop, I've never heard of such a thing. You can re shape wood with steam in a container, but there is no way in hell you need to for fencing.

I mean whatcha gonna do, take a 6 foot fence post and make it a 7 foot post?

^^^ Don't mind 'im, 'es a wee bit slow. :) :lol:

Sheesh, leave poor atom alone! Everyone knows you need a wood stretcher to transport damaged wood to the wood doc if you, for example, make a bad cut... or have to remove a nail from a board... or something like that. The stretcher makes the damaged wood comfortable and, if necessary, provides the means to secure and stabilize it for transport and repair millwork! :D

Inches, feet, that's so 1990's <sigh> It's metric you silly fella!

If this project is taking place near a body of water you'll also need a few feet of shore line, if in the mountains you'll need ridge line. Important to note that these are not interchangeable.

And in the colder climes, some frost line.

I'm still looking for that bag of auger holes my grandpa sent out to get 31 years ago...

i think he was messing with me too.

So is the rope around a boxing ring punch line?

How about a nice Hawaiian punch ? :D

Koolaid!

Hey I know what this is ... it's a bowrench, used to straighten boards before you screw them in. I just used one on a deck I was helping someone install.

only thing that could make that better is if the pitcher was full of beer, and I was the pitcher.

Did you hear the one about the skeleton who walked into the bar and ordered the pitcher of beer and a mop?

Moi? I was just drawing the paralel between the Kool-Aid ad "Everyones a winner" and the Special Olympics. I'm aghast that you think me that cruel. Killin' kittins is one thing, but SpecOly is sumpin else.

You, you... You wicked mind you!

Nice save! :D

Just call me Frankie! :D

I got one you don't got...:)

You might need a padeye wrench, but a board strecher is just an old trick to play on someone...

Bye

OK then. I won't have to shoot you with the "Thirst ray"

Turboencabulator
JH Quick

[From The Institute of Electrical Engineers, Students Quarterly Journal 25]

For a number of years now, work has has been proceeding in order to bring
prefection to the crudely conceived idea of a machine that would work to not
only supply inverse reactive current, for use in unilateral phase detectors, but
would also be capable of automatically synchronising cardinal grammeters. Such
a machine is the 'Turboencabulator'. Basically, the only new principle involved
is that instead of the power being generated by the relaxive motion of
conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interactions of magneto-
reluctance and capacitive directance.

The original machine had a base-plate of prefabulated amulite, surrounded by a
malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were
in direct line with the pentametric fan, the latter consisted simply of six
hydrocoptic marzelvanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar vaneshaft that side
fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-
o-delta type placed in panendermic semiboloid solts in the stator, every seventh
conductor being connected by a non-reversible termic pipe to the differential
girdlespring on the 'up' end of the grammeter.

Forty-one manestically placed grouting brushes were arrranged to feed into the
rotor slip stream a mixture of high S-value phenyhydrobenzamine and 5 percent
reminative tetraiodohexamine. Both these liquids have specific pericosities
given by p=2.4 Cn where n is the diathecial evolute of retrograde temperature
phase disposition and C is the Chomondeley's annual grillage coefficient.
Initially, n was measured with the aid of a metapolar pilfrometer, but up to the
present date nothing has been found to equal the transcetental hopper dadoscope.

Electrical engineers will appreciate the difficulty of nubbing together a
regurgitative purwell and a superaminative wennel-sprocket. Indeed, this proved
to be a stumbling block to further development until, in 1943, it was found that
the use of anhydrous nagling pins enabled a kyptonastic boiling shim to be
tankered.

The early attempts to construct a sufficiently robust spiral decommutator failed
largely because of lack of appreciation of the large quasi-pietic stresses in
the gremlin studs; the latter were specially designed to hold the roffit bars to
the spamshaft. When, however, it was discovered that wending could be prevented
by the simple addition of teeth to socket, almost perfect running was secured.

The operating point is maintained as near as possible to the HF rem peak by
constantly fromaging the bituminous spandrels. This is a distinct advance on
the standard nivelsheave in that no drammock oil is required after the phase
detractors have remissed.

Undoubtedly, the turboencabulator has now reached a very high level of technical
development. It has been successfully used for operating nofer trunnions. In
addition, whenever a barescent skor motion is required, it may be employed in
conjunction with a drawn reciprocating dingle arm to reduce sinusoidal
depleneration.

What about the crystal ball?!?

I think he probably means a fence stretcher. If you do a search, you'll find em, or in a pinch, look for a cable come-along.
