Other groundy, I got the video on my way back from brush dragging. Customer wants all the brush chipped into the woodland so theres about 6 big brush stacks ready for chipping about 30 meters away. He'll need to hire a tracked chipper for that. Theres quite a lot so I suggested 2 days hire, its about £450 from the local shop. The other option was drag it to the driveway and chip there, but the grass was turning to wet boggy mud and would have been destroyed by it.

That makes sens though I'd never have guessed it.

Well I agree with some of your analysis. Some of the above are just catalists, not causes. I would add to your list human nature (greed, envy, ego, inability to think critically and analytically and plain old selfishness) and 'The Establishment'. Especially the educational establishment, especially universities. Since when is education supposed to be political? And lastly the general unwillingness to engage in discussion and debate (which I think starts at school). By the way I have particular beef with schools as my boy was reported to the anti-terror radicalisation program (Prevent) by his school because his beliefs were not left enough. And our lovely government are going to roll out training for teachers specifically to help them spot non-left views! Of course they say they will train teachers to spot extreme right views, but if you are interested I can tell you what views my boy was reported for. In case you don't know, around 8000 referrals are made to Prevent each year, the majority of them schoolchildren. And the largest type of referral is for far right ideaology. And just to top off my winge about the education system; of those Prevent referrals 83% are deemed not to warrant any actual intervention - which of course sort of confirms that schools are seeing extreme radicalisation even when it doesn't exist. Or to put it another way, they are guilty of viewing everyone who doesn't see the world the way they do as a Nazi.

Had too much fun in Wadebridge and surrounding areas in the past and got banned from a few establishments. One banned me and others twice!

Who is the person intent on getting the action shot? I guess the customer took the video?

Sort of answered my own question there, by getting some spanners out and taking the fittings apart. Turns out one end is 3/8" BSP and the other (grab) end is 1/2" BSP. I think. And, in case it helps someone else, these fittings are all female; at one end (bottom of the picture) on mine there's a male to male adapter. Ordered some stuff. See if it fits.

We could reverse our car to the shops, it’s do-able but going forward is just the better way! That’s my thoughts on this.

Would try new ignition module, I had a 346xp play up last year would bog down and not run nice. After a lot of messing around with carb switched module with one out of another saw and it ran sweet.

Theres two small ponds of stagnant smelly water and I dont fancy a swim, not too much space that way, and I dont have any winching kit. One log, got a slight nudge and rolled into the pond and I havent yet worked out how to retrieve it - could likely reach it with a sharp hook tool as its not too heavy. He did take some larger peices VID_20260131_105942.mp4

Thanks for posting up the photos and details of this (somewhat harrowing!?) job/experience. I won't say anything here about the first chuck-and-run Climber... I am curious, though, to ask you if there wasn't space in the woodland (looking at your very first photo), to do a winched-felling of the entire tree (or maybe with a partially reduced canopy), down the slope -away from the court and photographer? If it was possible, would this not have simplified and speeded up the process (much cheaper!)? I'm guessing it's a 'no' -otherwise you would have done it already -but interesting to hear your response! 🤔

Very nice Mike; I like it Jon

Easily done.

Are you totally set on going battery? Quite expensive outlay with charger and batteries. You sound like you know your way around 2-strokes. The Echo 2511WES is a lovely light little saw and will cost less than £400. Will happily run a 12” bar.

That brings a whole new meaning to the term "dirty bomb". There's nowt so queer as folk.

Finally managed to get this design finished in time for Valentines day. Its a Shaker box size 0 but the height of it is a size 1 as in wasnt deep enough to take the ring. Nipped into a local jeweller to borrow a ring for the photos.

Morning, heading to physio , check on mog new rear body fabrication then heading up to do some more Robo habitat work.

Good work Kram

Morning all, Collecting timber from yesterday. Loading it with the minidigger grab thankfully. After lowering and chogging it down yesterday my wrists don’t feel like lifting it at all.
