I'd like to thank all the members who take the time to answer questions from noobs like myself, knowing they answered the self same questions so many times in the past and will do again in the future. I'd also like to offer a very big Thank You to all the people who are giving me a chance to prove myself and get started in this great business :biggrin:

Cheers Skyhuck!

 

You will like that tip even more because the bloke that showed it to me didn't have a chainsaw ticket! :biggrin:

 

I have shown that raker tip to a few people and all agreed it makes a significant difference.

 

I have picked up plenty of little snippets of this and that from the forum so thanks to Steve for a great site and the networking opportunity it creates.

 

Thanks to 18 Stoner for showing me the cambium saver with a pulley tip. :thumbup:

 

Thanks to Pete McSheffrey and Bob for little advanced rigging tips which have helped fine tune our procedures to great effect. :thumbup1:

 

Thanks also to MonkeyD for making me stop and look more closely at tree fungi. :001_smile:

Thanks for that, your very welcome my good man :001_smile:

 

Glad someone gets something outta my myco-musings

 

Tbh though, the postings are a lot to do with my own education, as returning to images or thoughts are laying down chemical memory, which in turn stays longer and is more retreivable in the old grey matter. :thumbup:

 

So again, thanks to you all for the interaction :001_smile:

Trimming a hedge after rain? Or heavy fog? Why not blow along the sides with your trusty blower first to remove the worst of the moisture before it pours down into the air filter, down your neck and your sleeves. Another little cheap gadget to help locate that rusty nail/wire in a trunk is to get one of those detectors for locating household cables in walls, simply mark where it bleeps and avoid that area. I tested one through ivy as well, saved me a load of grief. It wont find everything if its right deep in the wood, but just below the surface its fine. Thanks to the Guinness family for a lovely drop of beer too:thumbup:

we use the blower for blowing off the rain too andy also for keeping bees and wasps away when you annoy there nests in summer time. always put through a bushy bit last in the chipper, never just a stick. one little woodchip can be enough to stop the machine flywheel turning from cold. if your flywheel freezes in winter pour boiling water down the spout.
