  1. When explained does not.................
  2. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aojgo83VXrA]Controlled free-fall (Vertical speed line) - YouTube[/ame] Reg's example of a vertical speedline is worth studying
  3. Jeez Butler - you like trying to start an argument without qualifying a single one of your opinions. Is it due to a diminished IQ? Or just knowledge?
  4. I'm now older & dumber for watching that. No thanks, just a bit of my life I want back.
  5. A union is only as strong as the workers make it. I guess general apathy will be there demise, as with alot of participation lead things in this modern world. I for one registered my vote
  6. That is from the Mr Goss guide book then?. Not from NPTC for sure
  7. If you feel that you do not have the required competence to use a piece of kit, then it would surely be common sense to seek-out tuition before using it. Either by an approved trainer or the manufacturer.
  8. Bear - not quite 2.
  9. great knot when secured with a couple of half hitches. May loosed when tensioned then un-tensioned otherwise
  10. Spike on & stamp my way to the top. Cool tree
  11. Not all fells are safe.
  12. Lascerated bracial artery in my right upper arm. Lost my footing & got kick-back. Self rescue & emergency surgery.
  13. Great post Nod. I guess we often rely more on what we have read, than what we have been told & more on what we have been told, than what we have figured out for ourselves. What I'm try say is we should perhaps examine the source assess of our information & assess that prior to depending on it. Questioning is natural, why fight it?
  14. The 357xp, although strong (if you get a good one) is a dated saw & a real pain to work on when they do go wrong. That's what we are replacing
  15. Got a purchasing policy that does not allow us to buy any more orange crap unless it's a 346xpg
  16. The cuts in the centre of the stem may well help by relieving the tensions within the stem @ the point of the split. Very interesting & thanks for posting
  17. Do you have an opinion on the saw apart from a comparison with one no longer produced, as I am looking at them at the moment too?
  18. Impressive tree - less than impressive tree work. I'm glad they oversized the crane.
  19. It's all in the manual - under starting procedure. Most saws make a similar noise when you run them A dual port muffler will also change the exhaust note of the engine & by virtue of letting the exhaust gases flow more freely increase the power output from the engine. However do some research before fitting one as you will have to adjust the carb prior to running it.
  20. Good post Dave, thanks
  21. Still peddling your trash Daniel. Suppose being the Dadio requires you to seek the accolades from the dumb masses. It's like watching an attempted suicide without any hope of your demise - sad
  22. I'd pay the extra. I have been converted to heated handles over the last couple of years & now would not consider buying a new saw without. Warm hands on a wet, bleak & cold january day - priceless
  23. After meeting Dave I will vouch for him. He's at the top of the game:thumbup1:
  24. Cheers. Feel so much better so unfortunately get alot more done between breaks though:biggrin:
