[gibbon]

the limb ripped a bit as i was wanting to get the limb to swing round and away from the head stones i was working over , as for the saw strop im really not sure whats up in that picture but the strop is not tied together nor has it been cut lol , as for the grcs i can only add it to my wish list , the rest of the tree will be comming down tomorrow after i have finnished the job that we were called away too lol

 

Sell that chery picker and get one then. I think it was one of the best purchases we made in the last few years

Awkward job. I remember seeing an old american rigging video at college where they set up a tyrolean traverse/zipline for the brash, any excuse to try something that cool

 

Love the Hi-flex jacket, I got myself a barely secondhand one off eBay for £40, bargain (those who have seen the RRP will understand)

Awkward job ? not really pretty straight forward rigging job, personally if i was worried about headstones i'd of rigged that limb in 3 smaller pieces use slings i could be slinging the next bit as the piece was lowered the groundcrew would have a more manageble piece to deal with so would of dealt with it quicker getting the rope to me quicker and next piece on knock it off move down set sling for next bit and so on quick smooth and controlled.

Horses for courses though we all have our own way of doing things, looks a nice job CTS be good to see more pics.

As always, there more than one way to skin a cat!!!!

 

Personally I would have cut and chucked every thing, me and my man, early finish

 

PS, you look well pissed off, next time give us a smile

Ive been working in a cemetery for the past 2 weeks, its a great site, Some really really nice trees, The biggest lime ive ever seen and a few big corsican pine knocking about, one really nice decent size wellingtonia too, Ill try and remember my camera this week and hopefully get a few pictures to share next weekend, Obviously great care has to be taken so's not to damage any stones and again great care to be taken with mourners and so on but its a really nice site to work in.

 

 

 

Looks like a good job that CTS, we've got a load of big pines to dead wood, The one we did late on friday was horrible, masses of dead, took ages, not we wanted on a friday haha

 

Good stuff mate
