  1. its good to never trust your gear 100% that way you constantly check stuff.
  2. unfortunately my new found photographer just went back to poland today....shame, he's caught some great shots the past few weeks
  3. nope.....it was a bit awkward really because the old cuts were all over the place...ideally i would have liked more time on it, i wasnt happy at all with the finished result....it really needed more time spent to restore the shape properly.
  4. this mornings job...multiple stem maple shed a stem in this weeks winds....this tree is located at a regular customer and we've had our eye on it for a while now...was no surprise it came down, and they had been warned!
  5. now theres an idea:151:
  6. allowed or not, id go with the fixed version everytime!
  7. no experience with hickory whatsoever. american walnut was considered carl
  8. ermmm, theres been 2 entries.....dont jump the gun there fellow
  9. only if the customer pays extra
  10. i personally dont think the chainsaw trousers suit her.....a thong and leggings would be far more appropriate
  11. the bark was nowhere near the right colour to be a common walnut...and the form was wrong. i could be wrong, but im 99% sure its not a common walnut
  12. cant really tell from the pic....you'll never fell it with that hedge trimmer though!
  13. I think this may be a variety of walnut but dont know for sure and which. photos arent great, partly due to the light and plus the trees in decline which didnt give any great shots of the foliage
  14. i have them....wether or not they are needed to work safely is another matter
  15. i paid £4600 for mine about 4 years ago....i think now they are somewhere between 7-8k. Mike will confirm the price as he deals in them!
  16. thats pointless and a waste of time:151:
  17. i had a free samurai saw a couple years ago. it cut well but i bent it pretty quick......rbtree mentioned over on the pruning saw thread that they have been beefed up a bit, so might be worth giving them a second try
  18. i always told people over the phone my day rate...when they gasp i tell them i'll come do a day for them, at the end of the day if they dont think im worth what im asking they can pay me what they feel is fair and we'll call it a day. not saying CV's are a waste of time, just that i have never bothered putting one together
