for those of you unfamiliar with his work that job was carried out by an australian guy by the name of Graeme Mcmahon, im assuming the footage was shot by Angus Mcmahon, who recently signed up here at arbtalk, hopefully he will contribute to this thread and discuss the job. their website is http://www.sherbrooketreeservice.com/ plenty more great videos there, some of you might need to download software for your media players to view some of them. I'll post some more direct links to the videos when i get round to it.
