The course is designed to teach complete beginners how to safely climb and carry out aerial rescue. If you've got a bit of experience and can tie a few knots you'll already be ahead of the grade curve. You'll be shown how to ascend and work the tree using two climbing systems, then execute a few different rescues. There is a theory part where you will be expected to answer questions around various H&S/Envionmental legislation. The Candidate criteria is available from the City and Guilds website if you want to do a bit of homework.

Sounds like it has sheared the flywheel key knocking the ignition timing out.

Best I could find: https://hansard.parliament.uk/‌Commons/1985-06-17/debates/908b9d70-4768-490f-9230-c34828b551ad/ForestryCommission Last paragraph. The dates fit my recollection. It looks like the 1967 Act applies and it was a change in the criteria the FC would grant a licence that meant it was not possible to convert the land.

Lovely. I helped a mate mill some fallen oak a couple of winters ago. Got some pretty nice looking boards. I went on his stag do in June and we all started at his house. I hadn’t even realised he had used the boards but his dining table looked pretty stunning.

Interestingly but not surprisingly, it would appear that the home office have changed the goalposts once again. SGC will soon be requiring 2 referees and more alarmingly FEOs bit be allowed to ask questions of other household members, if i read it correctly.

Go on then.

We asked Citb for a course they replied that the machine is a chariot and not covered by any of their tests , didn’t bother with the forestry, npors had no qualification for a machine that you stand on my machine is a loader and dumper had it on site at Nine Elms on roof gardens they were happy as it weighs less than a tonne, what ticket have you got.?

Pick all the squares with presidents:

I strongly suspect 4 is fine to pay the bill to have the evergreen ones reduced to under 2M if necessary. Those aren't the concern, it's the deciduous ones next to them which they're much more protective over. It appears to be much sensitive with those. Personally i'm fine with that approach. Again i'm just not certain which way the council will go with this one. Hopefully the deciduous ones dont get affected too much. 😞

Got any Os . What garden Os , pantie Os ? No letter Os for me gate . Mon Repose .

From what I've read it's Charlie Kray's stepson who is selling them off after his mother died, might take a mooch over to the auction, not that I'll buy anything.

Versatility and taking away a hassle for others to learn the software - always a good thng

misleading 🙄

There is nothing wrong with being content in life, and if pottering around grafting on the ground is it, then go for it.

Leeks. They're nice just fried up with some cabbage, like onions but sweeter. Even nicer with some lardons or pancetta added as well.

Rocked it today, along with Mark and Doug. Good start helped. Wordle 1,514 2/6* ⬜🟩🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

An impact wrench with 500nm of torque will stop turning a big auger long before a drill with 250nm. Impact wrenches provide jolts of peak torque to fulfil their design function of loosening or tightening a machine thread. All that happens when you stick an auger on them is that the tensile strength of the wood fibres absorbs the jolt of toque and the auger fails to advance any further. Impact drivers are use to drive screws into wood, yes, but the purpose of the jolts of torque there is to prevent cam out- where the driver bit slips in the head. Driver bits with a positive lock on the fiuxing head (such as timberlocks with their hex head) do not require an impact driver and will in fact drive far faster with the sustained torque offered by a drill. I must have explained this a dozen times over the years on here, and yet still people just can't grasp such a simple fact. A long arm brace on a quality drill allows you to impact far more torque into a wood thread or auger bit than you ever could with an impact gun.

I was more lucky, when in the market for a 50cc ish saw 15 years ago the chap persuaded me to spend the bit extra and get the 261. Still got it.

Morning all, Looking hot. Water water.

Thanks for the response, what vehicle are you using? I'm fairly confident I can make it fit but I don't know anyone near by with a similar size grinder to try out for size I thought tie down points would be the best option, ill enquire with the chaps that did my tipper conversion

Its a little bit of a get area but I've got climbing with a saw and the IPAF ticket and I'm confident I've got all bases covered

The wasvan entec tree buster , on FB recently, very capable machine at 700 pounds will eat 4 inch all day , gravity fed

Just more decent, steady tree work from a guy who shows it nicely. Particular good section on lifting rigs from 7-15 minutes.
