haha, having computer issues this week, havn't worked out how to get pics from backup memory thingy onto new computer:blushing:, new machine doesnt seem to have a card reader either:blushing:.. or is it just an excuse to keep my lovely hinges from prying eyes for a bit longer..?:thumbup:

 

Perfectly (or not) put up door hinges don't count you know!

 

I've had a fair share of good and bad ones already. I have been too ambitious and had one fall the wrong way. But nothing was broken and nobody was harmed. Was gutted though. Just wanted to ge the job done.

If you read the full thread you would have noticed that Big Ammer has been a little prankster and quoted me then edited my quote to make it look all pornified. What a jester.:lol:

 

These kids today always playing tricks on each other.:001_tt2:

that was a different time for me, i can agree its an extremely shocking and not a good thing to do in any way, i realised my mistakes and i have moved on from those. However now after mentioning it, although reluctant, i am expecting all sorts of comments coming my way.

 

i was doing a dogtooth cut, bored through, then moved farward to create my hinge, then left the little piece at the back, took a moment to check everything and a gust of wind started to catch the tree, the bit at the back starting cracking to i severed it to let the tree go as it was unstable, it fell about 30 degrees to the right, landed a lot closer to the tractor and chipper though. It shocked me as i had never expected it, you never do really, the hinge was there and i was felling it slightly against its weighting to make it an easier drag to the chipper. It seemed to have a different idea dn had me completely off guard
