  7. but as long as you don't take the piss i can't see a problem,if i had my own machine i would go for them
  8. my mate owns a toolmaking company and used to sharpen chipper baldes at times for me.he was telling me once that he could copy the one's i had given him in a differant type of steel that you could chip a scaff pole and not touch the edge of the blade(obviously wouldn't do the bearings much good),so anyone fancy some everlasting blades?

  10. a guy i work for had only used un-skilled cheap labour before but the pair of us can do more work than him and 2 un-skilled retards easily.you need to be able to trust people you work with and they know what to do without being told 10 times it makes life so much easier.ok you pay them more but you should earn more at the same time

  16. i wish i'd remembered my camera today. got to the job,no access into the garden as the garage hadn't been de-molished so we looked over the fence from the nieghbours side.every thing in the garden was to come out as the bungalow was being refurbished. holy crapola what a site.a jungle of smallish tree's smoothered in rambling rose and bramble, nice.:eek: in the corner were 5 50-60' conifers totally infested with russian vine tying them all together so no chance of felling them.we were supposed to be clearing the crap out to the front to be grabbed away but because of the developers not getting us access a quick bit of bartering and we could just get it all on the floor and smash it up and his blokes would clear it!! so we made a start and they made a start on the garage,as the day progreesed i had a double spike pop-out and slid about 6-8' down the spar nicely skinning my stomach,chest and both arms,borrowed a big saw from mattyF and managed to lunch 6 drivelinks when it threw the chain for the 4th time rendering that un-useable then Harry managed to cut my pulling rope i half:mad: but we got the job done,i earnt good money,the lads got the rubbish out front with a digger and dumper,was a long hard day tho beer time now me thinks
