Always fancied marine, way too much commitment though

Couple of indoor rabbits the girlfriend wanted. They are ok, the white one I.S quite a character She even waits by the window for us to get home

I’m of the opinion that you should turn up with your own rigging gear as a subbies. I would rather than anyway as I want to use what I want to use

Or just get a dolmar! Not sure I’d pay 700 for a saw that size

Back in track with a cedar full. Hate felling softwood stoggles as they have a tendency to stick and then change course at the last minute if not done right. hinge left slightly thicker one side to make sure it didn’t skew towards the house

12 for me. I’m sure it performs better on a 10 but as I rarely use it for anything over 5” I’d rather stick with the 12 and have slightly more reach

Well yeah

Not sure if this is some odd variety of spruce or if it’s jist a regular old Norway spruce that’s grown weird. Had a particularly fruity aroma to the wood

Likewise. If someone damages or breaks my stuff they get billed the full price of a brand new replacement

I spoke to a lot of expats when I was there who said that the locals do everything they can to make it hard for brits running businesses over there, perhaps a ploy to stop more brits emigrating and setting up competition for them though

decent sized sycamore there mate, good job

Is it still mounted in that rose gold frame?

They do look smart and I’d like to try a pair on sometime. It would take a lot for me to part with my carbon geckos thohfh to be honest

The HAIX Protector pro has always been a professional boot, ready to stand up to the demands of day to day working conditions. Available in sizes 37 – 49. In addition to the HAIX boots, ForestAndArb have also thrown in a runners up prize of KitDRY 2 socks filled with silca gel. Drop them into your wet boots and they absorb all the moisture, then dry them out on a radiator or in a microwave or oven. Just like stuffing your boots with newspaper but reusable!

Some much appreciated help with the drag today

They have never had one!

Thing is the younger generation are being attracted to other social media sources other than facebook, and I expect the generation after that will be using yet another different one. Facebook isn't the be all and end all. Personally I think it should be used to share stuff from your own website, not using as a sole replacement for one.

I had a treecore. It was ok but nothing special. And the bridge used to twist round which really got annoying after a while

Those new tribe harnesses have always looked nice to me

Something more official http://www.stihl.co.uk/the-world-first-stihl-injection-electronically-controlled-fuel-injection.aspx

Lovely work kev. You could of throwlined it though surely?

I think that would be a bit short sighted Stefan
