Today wifey was digging a trench for a pipe with a pick axe.
She bumped into a root of the persimmon tree, more or less 50 mm thick, which was too deep to be cut with a hack saw and too flexible for a chisel.
While she was cleaning the spark plug of the chainsaw to cut it, I mounted a 30 mm Forstner bit on the Bosch hand drill (it was too deep for the drill press too :rofl and made a hole into it: underground woodworking… but I get rid of that annoying root in a way faster than the chainsaw.
If you try this be careful: live wood is sticky!
