evening all. pete here, drive a 4x4 that does what it was designed to do and it does it well for a 23yr old daily drive. I converted a sankey into a logging trailer that also tips.

 

a carpenter by trade, but love doing nice welding projects.

Hi everyone - names Martin & I'm new to the forum & to the industry. Been doing small tree work for years but I've gone full time in the Lanarkshire area so I'm looking forward to getting aquainted with the local & not so local guys & may all have plenty of happy cutting/climbing days!

 

To pete23 - got one of those "does what its supposed to" 4x4s as well but its as useful as a chocolate oven tray right now as its in bits all over the garage - glad someone's landy is running well.

Hi all.

Currently a soldier but just done 201 & 202 as I have a wood burner and access to loads of logs and scrap 8x6/4x4 etc. Hoping to do more courses as time allows.

 

Did the course at Pershore, thoroughly enjoyed thanks to Paul the instructor and Paul the assessor. First time on a chainsaw since I signed one out from the CQ store in 1987 with no gear or instruction. Truly dread.

 

Used Husqvarna on course, quite liked them. Got lots of X cutting to do now to keep 2 households on the go.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on what is a good model to start with and get good? Budget isn't too much of an issue, I have been saving up.

Thanks Kiza. Went for the husky in the end. Got it on Friday but military reunion this weekend so won't be in any fit state to even put it together until Tuesday.

Hi All....Newbie.

 

Name is Carl... Live in Cheshire, but hopefully in the new year i will be moving around a bit with a new business venture, some of which involves a 30 acre private woodland, never been involved in anything like that before, so will be looking for lots of advice, as to what we should be doing and what I should be doing as far as learning, and going to college etc.

Really looking forward to this as its something very different to what I have done before, although I am not new to outdoor jobs, just the woodland bit.

Hiya, the names Rob. I currently work for my local council but I'm looking to move into the private sector and thus improve myself. I hope the forum can help me in this endeavour.
