Yup, Samson-The Strongest Name in Rope, Splicing Instructions provide good written instructions and I found the videos on Donaghys Industries, Marine - Aquaculture Products – Manufacturers and Distributors really useful to give you a good idea how to interpret those instructions.

My friend Ali wanted a lanyard so I made him this last night. Tonight I get to splice an eye on his new Edelrid climbing line:001_smile:

Eastwater I have a 361 that I bought second hand with very little use, Al may remember he helped me with it when I rebuilt the carb, it has got limiter plugs on the mixture screws TimberCutterDartmoor, I ripped mine off, it's an odd saw, the only saw I have ever owned or used that does not require choke to start, if I choke it it will flood, it does, however, run perfectly fine. I would check the air filter on yours then maybe the mixture screws.

I did a dying Robinia last week, it felt very dodgy but the dead was incredibly strong, thing is with Robinia is that the live branches can be the opposite, ie, very weak, just follow Steve's advice go slow, go small.
-
Nice heads up, thanks.
-
What is the height for the mens footlock? I was watching the videos that Josephine posted, looks like fun but made me feel pretty unfit.
-
Funny, the only time I have seen it done or heard about it being done, the trees always gone the wrong way.
-
Well done, split level cut? I know what it is but have never used it.
-
Interesting stuff, Dutchmans Is not a cut I have used before, I think.
-
Ha,ha, good one, glad you had a good time, I would like to visit the Brew fiend sometime myself.
-
I hope you took the man some Special Brew?
-
Cool, what did he do to it?

Ah, Google...Tiswas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OK, I will sort out some pictures in the meantime... Trust fund lobbyists? They are the people, for what ever reason, sit behind their keyboards in far flung corners of the globe criticizing other peoples work. Most of these people are really rather dire at what they do and mistake qualifications with talent. Some, despite never visiting a country, think that they have the right to criticize an ancient practice that we do all the time, we of course, being adults, would not dream of doing the same to them. But really what Trust Fund Lobbyists are are just that, trust fund lobbyists, they have sufficient funds behind them to be able to take their supposed higher ground, most of the time you will find that these people have made these funds carrying out dubious practices that they have now chosen to conveniently forget. Bit of a rant there.

Confused eh? Well sometimes I am also confused, maybe I will put some pictures up again. Maybe I should put my name across the picture to avoid anybody pretending that pictures of me are of them.
-
No video but hundreds of pictures, I put some on here then took them off, some are on my Facebook page. I took them off here because I just couldn't be bothered with the trust fund lobbyists response. Thanks Mark, it was only my third crane job, the others being eight or nine years ago, I was very rusty, a few mistakes but thanks to Reg for the perfect advice to take my time. I'm looking forward to doing more now.

PM me I know of a carver near Taunton that paid about 700 quid for the timber from the Redwood in my avatar I did recently. -
At the risk of sounding like a creep, (aye Mick) Nice work as usual.

You need a new camera amigo. Horrible looking mess of a tree.

No none at all in Arboretum, they have their own staff and don't use outside contractors, the site I was on is right next door and used to be the nursery for the Arboretum, it is privately owned and is, as you can imagine, a stunning place with some incredible trees, the owner only uses it occasionally as his main dwelling is in London's Mayfair.

Friday I was removing this dead spar from a nice tall pine in Westonbirts former nursery when I noticed this nasty, flakey section of tree, good job I was lowering small chunks with no shock loading.
-
Pack warm.

Friend of mine had his power tools stolen over the weekend, 4 x MS 200ts, 1 x ms200, 1 x Sthil hedge trimmer, 1 x 044, 1 x 064, 1 x Sthil blower and also his black Petzl climbing helmet and a file kit.

Nice pics.

Good friend of mine has been out in Australia for over twelve years, tree work, rope access, on the tools and training people, in Oz and Papua New Guinea, he is now studying to become a Policeman and then joining the rescue squad, he's also getting married, so Australia can still be the land of opportunity.
