The Arbtalk Charity raffle starts today December 4th 2009 and will run up till 6pm GMT on January 4th 2010 with results expected within 48hours of the closing date.........exact date and time to be announced. We have some fantastic prizes up for offer, and despite it being a difficult year we hope you will all generously support this event once again. All proceeds will be going to www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk. The charity was chosen by the members here at arbtalk 2 years ago by means of a poll and has become the chosen benefactor of several events since. This is a private raffle open to Arbtalk members only. It is free to join and participate at Arbtalk and takes only a few minutes to register. Regrettably prizes can only be sent out within the UK. Raffle tickets cost £5 for 5 tickets. With the help of The Childrens Trust, we have made the ticket purchasing process easier this year. You may now donate by clicking on the following link http://www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk/arbtalk IMPORTANT-As there is a possible gain to be made from your donation it is not eligible for gift aid. Please leave this box unchecked. Thank you. Please be sure to put your Arbtalk username(not your own name) in the appropriate box. Your raffle numbers will be assigned to you via the private message system here on Arbtalk once i receive confirmation of your donation from the children's trust. Please allow up to 7 days for me to process these as I expect the event to be quite busy this year. You will also receive a receipt for your transaction. Please take some time to view the prize list, which is then broken down into individual threads to show who donated what. Any problems or issues with anything above please do not hesitate to ask for help. Thank you for your participation, and lets hope its an even better one this year!

its important to pull your trouser leg up slightly before strapping it on.

a video i made to demonstrate how convenient it is. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS4590ZtE1s]YouTube - Darbyshire sawpod[/ame]

yes, i wear mine underneath my spikes

you can, and i always did...they never last as long though or do as good a job. you can rivet straps to a scabbard easily enough if you want to save money...cant see the point though when theres a good product out there which doesnt cost the earth

yep, wouldnt be without mine

nice and level mate

oh wait.....maybe its because you're a greenmech dealer and are trying to bring timberwolfs name into disrepute. You do your companies name no good:thumbdown:

i fail to see the motivation behind this thread?

ok got it sorted

indeed:001_smile:

with fries and large choc shake?

i need to edit the video in movie maker so i must have that codec

im trying to find a codec to download so i can play avi in windows media....anyone able to help?

fair enough. often times trees dictate what needs to be done anyway

very nice shape alex, id be happy with that. if i was going to nitpick, i'd probably have thinned the right side of the tree a little to match it with the left.

nice that you can laugh about it...model son

had a reasonable sized poplar to do today...the wind turned it into an easy job.....it did make me nip up a little a couple of times though i must confess.

coppicing to preserve the root stock seems a more common practice

oh yes...i think you'll find anything you make will have to undergo a lot of testing at considerable expense....thats why most ideas never get past "ideas"

triples?

you'll have them queueing up with that sales pitch bob!
