  1. I remember reading something a while back about putting in relief cuts on carvings. Anyone know anything about that?
  2. Please add what materials you can accept
  3. Absolutely, just a question of what to buy!
  4. Where would be the fun in that?
  5. Think you’re getting your wires crossed between this thread and the cod wood thread. You’ll only con fuse matters
  6. Any of the Yale 11.7mm ropes work well
  7. I'm going to switch off comments if this current trend continues
  8. Def 8mm. No recommendations on cord though as I’m not familiar with the rope. General rule of thumb though is to combine a soft cord with a hard rope and vice versa. was never a fan of beeline, found it over rated. Same as with a lot of the other heat resistant cords.
  9. @Mark Bolam bit weird that both your personas reacted to this….maybe just a glitch, but ironic maybe? You on Twitter by any chance?
  10. So you’re basically saying it’s mostly populated by 2 different types of people?
  11. Unfortunately we dont have a fireplace in our new house. Heating still hasn't been turned on though. But of a double whammy of savings actually, because at this rate the house is getting so cold we can probably turn the fridge off too.
  12. That was a pretty big leap
  13. Never is a pretty big word there
  14. Think I found a picture of that
  15. Well done, and with that jump up in positions by my reckoning you should be in first place next time
  16. I can think of plenty of large lime avenue pollards they’d have come in very handy for in the past
  17. I think Paul would have been scared off long before now if he was going to be 😀
  18. Yep your analysis is spot on…and of Paul, who has done more for the AA here on arbtalk than anyone. I removed the post by the way.
  19. This has never been more important for me, as my saws get precious little use these days. When I do fire them up though they are right on the money. I don't think I ever had any engine issues with any of my saws in the whole time I ran Aspen.

  21. DMM have issued a safety recall on all items using the swivel units below. Full details can be found here.
  22. Sounds like its a good job you retired!
  23. When it comes to efficient rope climbing arborists are all too aware of the reliability of US brand HAAS. Following in the footsteps of the original HAAS is the new Velox Ascent System that’s now available from importers and distributors Carr’s Billington Safety. Foot ascenders have grown in popularity amongst arborists, and those working at height, for increasing efficiency and speed when ascending a single rope. The fastest and most efficient way to ascend rope is to use both legs and the HAAS Velox enables this “rope walking” technique by using a knee positioned ascender on one leg and a foot ascender on the other that enables the climber to ascend the rope in a similar way to climbing the rungs of a ladder as demonstrated in this video. Carr’s Billington Safety stocks two versions of the HAAS Velox – the Ascent System and the Clip n Go. HAAS Velox Ascent System - RRP £220 (incl VAT): Made in Ohio, using a Climbing Technology ascender, this fully integrated, one size fits all, Velox Ascent System requires no set up. The one-handed adjustable foot strap locks around the boot and a bungee quick clip easily attaches to the harness bridge or prussic pulley. It extends 30” under load, eliminating any set up time and creates no dead spots in the return action. Designed to maximise friction reduction the bungee terminates at the top of the Velox and travels down a channel to the bottom where it wraps around a pulley with stainless steel sealed bearings housed in a machined aluminium block. The bungee can be easily replaced in under five minutes with no tools required. What’s more, the fully integrated knee ascender and adjustable foot loop enables a smooth ergonomically correct ascent that evenly works core muscle groups, reducing fatigue and stress. HAAS Velox Clip n Go - RRP £220 (incl VAT): This model carries all the specifications of the Velox Ascent System detailed above but has been specifically designed to clip into the ascent system foot loop on Clip ’n Step Boots using a carabiner. Combine the rope walking capabilities of the HAAS Velox with Climbing Technology’s Chest Ascender, Quick Step A Foot Ascender or Quick Tree Foot Ascender with Quick Tree Spurs for use with Panther Spikes. Whatever your preference Carr’s Billington Safety stocks a full range of quality rope ascending kit.
  24. How much did you have to pay to list your tip site?
