Old man sharpening aid from lidl:)

How can a brand be responsible for this? Surely another manufacturer would fill the void. The actions of the individuals - most definitely driven by poverty are the issue & should be addressed, not the tool of whatever make

Question for all you freelancers... rigging kits
Pete Mctree replied to jrose's topic in Climbers talk
I have a range of rigging kit & if anything other than my rigging rope come out then I charge a little more. Like I do for the use of the 660 or 084. I negotiate everything with those who I work for before I bring anything. If everyone you work for has rigging kit then save your money imho -
Fantastic setup Tom. I would have killed for the use of that over the last couple of days
-
I usually elevate the bore cut to the same height as the back cut if possible - 6 & two 3's really 7 monster transit loads today from a beech & a lime - glad we did not have to ring it all up !!
-
Bit of a mismatch on the bore cut height, but tidy Pete. A couple of 12ft chunks I had to pull with the loader - just shy of 3ft diameter, so the groundies heard my full range of vocab as I hauled the 660 up there !
-
I looked at those yesterday John - shame that they have sold out. Are the worth waiting for?
-
Lives & breathes at last. Been a fun project & the porting has made some real gains in performance. Frankensaw used 4 old 200t/020t's & about 15 man hours
-
Nice work Matty. Some creative rigging
-
H&S aside, the contractors were inconsiderate. I have often cut footpaths off for short term jobs, which did not merit full TM. However, it is easy enough to help & manage pedestrians with little effort & some vigilance. Common sense really
-
I seldom reduce trees (not my favourite job either), but I did enjoy reducing this ash today. It was about 20m, so not massive. Sorry no before shot
-
I need a new flywheel & petrol tank for the ms200t I am working on. I have the equivalent parts on old 020t spares saws & the question is, are they compatable?
-
That how you do your hedge reductions then:001_tt2:
-
Thanks for that. Might have to ask someone who knows:thumbup1: Was only going to increase Exhaust port opening, open up carb inlet size, but not at pot side. I had already measured up & seen that widening would be tricky. Not sure what I could do with the transfers, but the piston could definitely stand some tidying up.
-
Finished it this afternoon- done the muffler too. Will split that & port it later this week. Will attack the pot with a dremel whilst it's off. Not in a measured Spud way - more crazed tree monkey style
-
Getting there. Dremel-tastic:thumbup:
-
Started cleaning this up
-
Kind of interesting [ame] [/ame]
-
I'd go for the 066 - a step up in power from the 064 & parts will be much easier to acquire as a lot are interchangeable with the ms660
-
Glad I did not have to clean the pot!!!
-
looking better
-
Collected the donor saw for Spud to re-build my damaged, ported 200t. This clean enough for you to work with?
-
I used to do inspections for a company & one year I failed at least half a dozen krabs. I was not impressed that he put them back into service with his lads & submitted them again for me to re-fail next time around. However, it is not an inspectors job to police what people do with there kit, only comment on thecondition etc I never throw away, damage or destroy anything without the owners consent, as I hear some do, as I do not own it.
-
The wire acts like a spring, applying pressure to ensure that the cam grips all the time, not just under load. There is always a chance without it, that when loaded gently, the cam will not bite & slide along the line, which is not desirable to say the least. Especially with smaller diameter cordage/flip lines & larger cams. Hope that makes sense
-
It is difficult to keep standards across the board perfectly equal I guess. But, for the record, most of the inspectors I know will not pass a rope grab, without the spring (wire) as it does not function correctly without it.
