Often its the little things that count.

This site is great, we get to have a laugh and make new contacts, both for business and leisure.

 

But often its the little tips you pick up that can really make a difference.

 

I would like to thank Marc, he mentioned on a thread about helmets, that the vertex chin strap and head harness assemble can be removed and put in the washer. Mine was getting real stinky, I had tried wiping it but it was no better. After reading Marc's tip I took mine off the hat, my lass washed it and today I enjoyed a STINK free day for the first time in months.

 

THANK YOU Marc!!!

 

I would also like to thank Big Ammer, he mentioned on a thread about chain sharpening, that you should profile your rakers, not just file them flat. I have been sharpening chains for years and never done this. I tried it and I think it makes a real difference.

 

THANK YOU Big Ammer!!!!

 

Please feel free to use this thread to thank the people who's tips have helped you

First i would like to thank nifty steve for some winch rope.

Second steve bullman who told me to throw the rope over a bough but tie it off at the trunk to save climbing the tree.

Third a friend of andy collins who taught me to tie a timber hitch.

 

This all came together today i am clearing around another pond and i have a fire in the pond. i needed to fell a large ash tree into the pond but it was leaning away. got my long rope threw it over the bough tied it off with a timber hitch it came into the pond no trouble but the best was the knot does not get stuck:thumbup:

I have learnt a great deal and made some good friends over the past few years from you guys on the sharp end.

So I'd like to thank everyone for posting without the post the site would be nothing - long may it continue.

That is such a simple way of roping a tree, but if no one told you about it, I don't think many of us would ever think of it.
