[@rongray4118]

LT40...nice! Trying to build our Earthship Biotecture style home in Northern Nevada and I am looking at doing this same thing for our roof structure. Great video!

Thanks Ron! That sounds awesome 💪

[@MichaelRobinson-lt6ee]

Never burn 🔥 any treated lumber

[@msadrienafokoevents7122]

What about the arsenic treatment in the original poles which can be dangerous to humans and vegetation

[@37south47]

I have a woodland mill's 26 " the treatment on the brown poles has Benzene and Arsinic and a few other ingreadents , i heard of a guy dying after milling those all winter , no respirator , and he was burning scrap for heat in a drum right by him , the black poles are cresote poles not dangerous , be careful ' i have a full face respirator so it doesnt get in my eyes . nice video thankyou ' Oh ' i have a metal detector i use on each pole works good a couple hundred bucks Garrett 200 .

I was thinking about doing this since my electric utility sometimes gives away old poles. Only problem is I'd need to buy a longer trailer to actually get them, lol. I supposed I could rent one just to try it out.

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Yeah, I think it's worth trying. I ended up with quite a bit of useful lumber 💪

Regular car hauler will work. Cut them into 16 foot lengths.

Nice but what does it have to do with discus throw?

[@johnbowmandiscus]

This has nothing to do with discus. Trees and lumber and such is another passion for me... so I make videos about it! 👍

Sir I'm a student following you form 2 year ( from you YT peak to low views ) sir please i train , i throw Some tips for increasing distance please😢 Love from INDIA❤

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Hey there Brajesh! The best thing to focus on is technique. Another way to say it is “better positions give you more distance”. I know it can feel painfully slow but just keep learning about proper technique and compare that to your own technique. You can do this 💪 -John

Have you thought about building wood rings or toe boards? If so, message me on Instagram and let me know what that would cost?

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Hey man, I no longer use Instagram so the best way to connect with me is through my website: www.bowmanthrows.com 👍
