a rip!!!!tony tony tony, this i gota here lol. I can take you to my first ever rip, and probably my last tbh, i can even show you the felt nail that still holds the said rip in place. oh the shame, cutting a bbranch off a spruce with a bow saw from ontop of a trailer:blushing:i was 17. that was a very panicky 10 minutes trying to hide all the evidence and try and find the trailer under the huge branch

 

 

mmmm NO SWB, this was a behemoth poplar that i was pollarding, i took out a large limb from upon high for a skilled() turn through the gap and drop. mmmmm as it hit the lowest limb (more like a decent poplar in its own right) it first flexed then went BANG removing socket of said limb! this is as is my nature on another scale!

 

It was the last tree in a line, a 12 day (given 14) job that we got loadsa stick on we was all sick of it and i got lax.

Tony when I said this thread could turn nasty, I meant that someone may deliberately create large divotage in some old ladys lawn just for our small minded vicarious pleasure!

 

I have already drawn up a short-list of suspects....
