  1. Past hour
  2. A 3 leg ladder can be adjusted so that the ladder steps are close to the hedge, particularly at the top? That thing you’ve shown here can’t because of the width of both sections at the base? The only way you’ll change your mind is to try one Kram? Henchman are very good, have had one for years, look after it and it’ll outlast you?

  5. 😂😂😂😂WTF are you gibbering on about you bloody anonymous fool. You gonna get around to answering the simple question put to you about your work experience overseas ?? Im not telling anybody what to do, if an armed police officer asks me to stop my car and get out I’d comply, if she’d done the same she’d be alive 🤷‍♂️can you not grasp that simple concept. Try helping yourself SP/TA you need serious mental health support.
  6. I guess you have to pick your tree/saw combo A big TD with lots of big cuts the 201 will save you energy over a smaller saw. A repollard or similar you go smaller.
  7. We have the 10 foot set nice to use ,not to bad for transporting I’ve never wished I had the shorter but always end up standing on the top but I think the 12 foot would be a pain to transport and store , the three adjustable feet make a massive difference,
  8. I am currently rebuilding my spare Echo 2511TES with new fuel pipes, carb overhaul, so I can run it on Aspen2. If if runs well after the rebuild I am thinking of trying a custom exhaust and retune. I already use the thinner chain of the other 2511TES I have. Just hoping a modded one can make ther need for the 201T even less. Shoulders and wrists at 66 are not 201 friendly.
  9. It's quite breathtaking to consider that Iran will soon be less Islamic than Britain.
  10. I see this fella can improve metallurgical skills but you are not allowed YouTube when you go back in time!
  11. Finally picked it up, not used in anger yet. Does it (as claimed) match the power of a 550 petrol? Absolutely not! Seems quick in small medium wood. It’s in the bar length stuff it balks. Forgive the operator in the video giving unrealisticly high expectations of male beauty. IMG_2448.mov

    And regardless, the point is moot now. bloody Milwaukee m18 polesaw just stopped working. Packed it up and waiting for courier- they’d better sort it without quibble, it’s hardly been used. then the bar bent on the m18 chainsaw. Putting it in the vice and it’s like cheese compared to a stihl or Oregon I have here- luckily a 181 bar mount is the right fitment. But regarding the polesaw- turns out that with a bit of insulating tape to shim the tube up and a sand down of the driveshaft by 0.2mm, you can fit a stihl engine onto a husky polesaw shaft! So now I have a Stihl engine that is older than the polesaw on it, which I have every confidence in the reliability of. Time to treat myself to a new combi engine.
  13. Did my CS30 last week- £310+VAT, then £175 for NPTC assessment. CS31 is £410+VAT, then the NPTC on top, same place. That's Oxfordshire

    Ok, here’s the best photos I can do of the bore. I can’t see any scratching, just slight vertical lines. what do the more learned minds think?
  15. I'm serious, it is one of the most basic survival skills, most of us have watched Castaway struggling, but has anyone here created fire with just two bits of wood as our stone age seemed to have done at will.?
  16. In Tehran they are not following orders now are they? A little hypocritical I think to be lecturing us to follow orders and then get all upsety when they have the same fate for not following orders. Is there a reason for your double standards I wonder? ( I can help here.... suggest your truthful answer will refer your double standards to their religion or their skin colour)
  17. If I’d had Macclesfield I wouldn’t be buying bloody ladders!
  18. I think that judging by his leaden speech and general madness Starmer has already been lead poisoned!
  19. Did you have Macclesfield!!!

  21. It's for Eritreans to stand on to spear fish and stab swans. They're going to be installed everywhere, paid for by taxing the sale of remembrance day poppies. Can't say how I know.
  22. Today
  23. Small woodland job. Theres a few nice oaks around it but mostly filled with poplar, some cherry and birch, and lots of coppice - possibly hazel, not sure without the leaves. My job was to fell several windblown, some birch with polypore, cut away the ivy from the big ones. Keep it woodland, keep habitat, but make it nicer, safer. After lunch the owner asked if I could show him how to use his new battery chainsaw, that he will use for firewood. Showed him the very basics of using a saw safely, got him to fell a few of the small dead birch. The ivy was odd stuff. It wasnt the normal climbing ivy seen everywhere, that grips the trunk firmly the whole way up. This ivy that looks like it has dropped down from above. Its lightly attached near the ground then dangles freely up to the canopy where it tightly wraps everything. Anyone know how it gets up there? Perhaps it grows independantly then into the canopy? Or perhaps it starts attached to the tree, then as it matures, lets go with just the canopy attached. Enjoyable day, hopefully going back in the week.
  24. Caldon canal, it's around 12 yards long and 2 yards wide, anyone know what it is?
