  1. Pretty poor advice. Kretcsh is in the root system, how solid the trunk is would have no correlation with what’s going on under the ground unfortunately. Is there any dieback in the crowns?
  2. This I’m looking forward to. Hopefully it’s done well and not a disappointment

  4. Everyone needs at least one guilty pleasure
  5. Keep the thread on track please Mark, this is about tree work
  6. You certainly don't want to pollard them. If a reduction is the only choice then you should avoid going over 25% Be good to see the entire row. Selective removal and thinning of the rest might well be the better option.
  7. You're right there. Full chisel does cut quicker. I only used semi on big saws as they need sharpening less then.
  8. Still mixed with turps or neat?
  9. I think there’s something else going on here. You shouldn’t be changing chains every hour unless you are being a bit clumsy with the saw and hitting the ground often. i wouldn’t have said Scots pine was particularly tough to cut and oregon chain is certainly up to the task.
  10. Also playing devils advocate, do you advertise your business online yourself?
  11. They look lush
  12. Half of my problem with keeping knives sharp is the marble cutting board but it’s one of my favourite things in the kitchen
  13. Carbon steel gets an amazing edge bit also loses it quite quickly if I recall
  14. That would also work! in my case I was after the best knife for cutting beef to prepare jerky
  15. If you have a pro cook store near you they have these which have a pretty good edge and at 3 for £8 are basically throw away prices. Managed to cut myself a couple times doing Christmas dinner….all adds to the flavour though
  16. I asked a similar question on a butchers group a while ago, figured they’d be the best people to ask. General consensus was Victorinox. Other suggestions were F Dick and Dexter
  17. Thinking about getting a bit more adventurous for my next project and making an indoor slide out of Yew for the little one, something similar to this. What would be the best finish for it to make it nice and slippy?
  18. Onto the next project and preparing some yew for console tables. Need to sell a couple of these now so I can put all the tools I bought through the books 😀
  19. Oh I will
  20. As promised
  21. Enough. Next person who insists on carrying on this stupid little rally will be removed from the thread, thanks
  22. Welome Loop
  23. Bet he’s sweating now
  24. In that case look up Roland heming
  25. The Arboricultural Association is pleased to announce that after two years away, ARB Show will be returning in 2022 in an exciting new venue and format. This year, for the first time ever, we are proud to present ARB Show at APF 2022 taking place 22-24 September 2022 at the Ragley Estate in Warwickshire. The two largest arboricultural shows in the UK are teaming up to deliver an incredible event, with more than 20,000 people expected to attend over three days. Many favourite features of ARB Show will be included in the Arb Worker Zone and Tree Climbing Competition areas, and the ARB Show at APF area will populated with some of the most popular arboricultural industry exhibitors. Bringing the ARB Show to APF 2022 delivers an expanded offering for arborists at the show and helps the event reach beyond its traditional forestry base. The Arb Worker Zone will be a key interactive attraction, giving arborists the chance to receive impartial advice about climbing kit and techniques and have a go with practical demonstrations alongside a timetable of events each day. The Arborists’ Workshop is one of the top ARB Show attractions with a carefully curated timetable of industry experts sharing knowledge on a range of subjects throughout each day. The UK Open Tree Climbing Competition will take place over in the demonstration zone in specially selected trees on site. The competition features three different skill levels making it more accessible to all climbers, from novices to experts. Association CEO John Parker said: “This is fantastic news for arborists. ARB Show has been a highlight of the event calendar for more than twenty years, and after two years of virtual events we are delighted to be able to announce this collaboration with APF 2022, bringing the show to a greater audience than ever before. Attendees and exhibitors will benefit from this change and we feel certain that the whole arboricultural profession will be out in force to celebrate the return of ARB Show in 2022.” APF Exhibition Secretary Ian Millward echoed those sentiments. “We’re thrilled to announce this new partnership; we’re excited to have the AA on board and are committed to making this a fantastic industry event. The Arboricultural Association is one of the leading organisations in the Arb world, so we are pleased to have this opportunity to build a stronger partnership and see it as part of the natural evolution of the APF Exhibition.” For anyone working in arboriculture ARB Show at APF 2022 is going to be an unmissable event.
