Farmers, garden centres, golf courses, caravan parks, allotments, equestrian centres, anywhere you can blag it really.

No, Brandon Suffolk. Iv never struggled to find tip sites over that way, just have to do a bit of leg work. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Presumably dealing with unwanted wood.

So basically you are a contract climber to your own firm and your hobby is marketing. I like it! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Nope, week off.

This thread really highlights one of the biggest problems in the industry today. If you can't make enough averaging 40 hours a week over the year then why not get a proper job? Bet you won't find many other trades working obscene hours for a pittance, fair enough if your working 80 hours a week and paying yourself £75k a year, or just doing it to get a new business off the ground, but I get the feeling that most of us are doing this week in week out for years on end. Working long hours is habit forming, and ultimately will make you ill or dead.

Glad to hear it, on both counts!

As with textiles, sticking to the swl and sf will give a long service life, and mean the item should wear our before ctf ever becomes an issue. Calculating ctf under normal circumstances is pointless, it's either many many ctf or if the swl is exceeded and the item is damaged then it should be retired ASAP.

Ok, the best advice is to do your homework, then you won't have to believe anyone.
-
Can you be a little more specific?
-
Fantastic job, love the shingles but I would never have the patience to make more than about ten. I think weather may well be putting some snow load on that in a few months, hence the pitch.

Bypassing the solenoid will get you out of trouble but its not a long term solution. You need to replace the solenoid ASAP.

Sure did, the undercarriage is an ex mod bomb trolley, so it's been christened the bombeque.

Like this?

How about this one? Slightly over budget but it looks cool.

YALE Splice Video – How a YALE Splice is actually produced
Peter replied to Nigel's topic in Splicing Forum
Good video, thanks Nigel. It is a completely different process in some ways to a conventional hand splice, I don't think the end result is better or worse really. Do they use the power bury machine on double braid climbing lines too? -
You could have pull out drawers in the buck with dividers in to keep all the small stuff organised.
-
Yes it does, and all the mounting bolts are inside the canopy when it's locked up.
-
A third is good, as long as you read the direction of lean correctly it won't trap the saw.
-
Cool! Wonder if they would make me a chocolate tea pot?
-
I've tried it both ways, on a very heavy head lean even putting a small sink in can result in a stuck saw. On a lighter head lean a conventional cut but removing some of the hinge so you can power through the back cut faster. Side cuts parallel to direction of lean yes, back cut at same height or the whole exercise is pointless, only used it on up to 24" dia personally.
-
Yes that's about right, obviously can't say exactly what they paid.
-
Prices start from £1500 plus vat for the basic canopy with one door at the rear, add £3-400 for each extra door and a little more for the internal shelving.
-
CB can be used with or without a sink cut. Cut each side of trunk, leaving a strip of uncut timber in the direction of fell. Cut remaining strip from rear. No directional control, just releasing to the lean and minimising risk of barberchair.
