  1. Is that its typical growth pattern? Starts off with alternate leaves then becomes very much one sided.
  2. Fig 8 as a termination knot you mean, yes to that and a Blake’s, and strop as second anchor fine. Only thing that’s changed is your are supposed to now have 3 points of attachment, ie 2 main lines. In reality few bother.
  3. Sparkling water for me! Not touched a drop of alcohol for 65 days now!
  4. Yeah thats just not true. They were also seen in the UK. Granted by americans at the site of an american airbase. Not saying theres a trend or anything 😁
  5. Don’t really know much myself, only got wind of it today when talking to someone. It’s all over TikTok which I don’t follow. Nothing in mainstream media in the uk
  6. Anyone been following all this ufo stuff going on in the states currently?
  7. Baby toys and accessories, all sorts of colours really.

  9. Finish doesn't have to be amazing and i'm pretty much working with the tools I have. Belt sander is about as pro as I get, although im getting through the belts fairly due to the staples. Knocked them in as far as I can. Probably just going to pull out the worst of the splinters with pliers to be honest 😳
  10. You've not seen my other work have you. It would be a whizz round with a chainsaw for me 😄
  11. Not sure the missus will be satisfied with that. She spends way too much time on Pinterest
  12. Making some rustic stands out of cable reels for the shop. Usually I sand down and stick some danish oil on followed by wax, but with these i'm probably not going to sand them down smooth enough so will be hard to apply wax. Plus i'd like a bit of a rougher finish on them anyway. What would you recommend to treat them with?
  13. Neighbours roof mounted solar panels are no more. Apparently this happens every summer which makes you wonder why they bother
  14. One of those could quite easily kill you I reckon
  15. We like to moan about the weather in this country but at least we don’t really get extremes of anything. This is the hail at the in-laws tonight, northern Italy
  16. It would be fair to say that if the compact power delivered by a GreenMech CS100 impressed Wild Arborist’s Toby Lawler, then the new 165P from the revolutionary EVO series has absolutely blown him away! Growth for the Cornwall firm demanded a higher-throughput machine and having looked at other brands, Toby could find nothing which compared to the performance and outright aggression of the EVO 165P. On relocating to Truro five years ago, Toby purchased a second-hand GreenMech unit which served faithfully until he established Wild Arborist in 2020, when the time was right to purchase a new CS100 from local dealer Vincent Tractors. “This was a real pocket-rocket and ideal for getting the company off the ground but the variety of domestic and commercial work we picked up over the years meant I needed something bigger and more powerful. I considered the options available from all of the brands, which ceased as soon as Vincent’s showed me the EVO 165P. I’d seen good write ups about it and, honestly, nothing I have used before or since compares with this machine – it’s awesome!” The EVO 165P is the smallest and lightest model from the GreenMech EVO range, offering robust build quality and a 6” chipping capacity in a sub-750kg package. “What struck me straight away is how clear it is that the requirements of us as arborists are at the heart of its design. It’s got the pull-through and power from the heavy-duty flywheel but features like the low-level feed tray and wider infeed chute are where you can tell they’ve considered what it is we really need from a machine.” He continues, “The EVO 165P is out three to four times a week and will tackle brash and trees of all shapes and sizes, including Monterey Pine which is notoriously sappy and tricky to feed in – not with this chipper! The fact that it will rip through waste without too much snedding has definitely resulted in time, labour and cost savings, not having to run the machine for extended periods of time.” Delighted with the performance, other aspects of the EVO 165P have also impressed Toby including the aesthetic. “It’s a cool looking machine, the colours are striking and it’s certainly left a lasting impression with other contractors who have used it.” He also cited the brilliant support he’d received from the service team at Vincent’s. “Anything I’ve needed assistance with has always been dealt with swiftly and under warranty without any hassle. This level of after-sales is just something you don’t get with other brands and, in my eyes, is what makes GreenMech the real deal.”
  17. i'd recommend you go back to the tree surgeon who said theres money in the tree.
