  1. hmm my only concern looking at some of these setups is that as we all know camb savers can be fickle items and hands up even with standard set up it has managed to get stuck up the tree in a tight crotch or such like and with the added size of a krab or pulley on the end raises the chances of this happening or is it just me being a muppet?

    under pressure

    bowline in all its variations depending on the job/rope position have used truckers hitch for pulling trunks over with root bowls attached etc lol but always place krabs on the friction parts
  3. myself 1 within Arb .thankfully underweight and tank dip just was an old k reg transit with brush on back but was mentioned it should be sheeted/netted 3 times as a lgv driver again all stisfactory apart from minor items (side light gone ,curtain side hook broken and flapping etc)
  4. sounds about right as the saw warms up so does the carb and when it is warm/hot the fuel in the carb will evaporate quicker and if running lean on the bottom end this will cause poor starting. if you wish to play with the settings do it 1/8th of a turn at a time ( to make it leaner(less fuel) you go inwards to make it richer (more fuel ) outwards
  5. ah well just done my bit again & bought some more all i can say is chances of winning a good prize are getting better

    tree joke

    Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The birch says he cannot tell. Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."
  8. As stated by other posters Facom Teng Sealey Snap On Britool mind you saying that one of the best screwdriver "bit"(ok lost a few bits but replaced ) sets i've ever used and still use after must be 11 years cost me £9.99 from Halfords i think ( not their range of pro tools just a shelf filler) Draper used to be good but in my opinion they have not really produced a decent quality tool for about 20 years .
  9. Smoke me a kipper skipper i 'll be back for breakfast ..... oops sorry this is not the classic lines from tv/books/radio thread is it ....
  10. put the rope in an old pillow case in the washing machine
  11. looking at the photo it may be down to the actual site as not sure but seems that all ones that are done have clear ground area but the ones left have a building between them so that may be a factor..
  12. i would write to the graveyard manager ( i forget what they are called) and explain that in order for you to remove this down to ground level that it will require them to first of all obtain permission from the graves owners ( the relatives/etc not the ones in situ ) and then also explain that you will have to have the railings and the grave monuments that are visible removed by them so that you are not held responsible for any damage caused to those parts and as for getting it down low its going to be a case of cut and hope i suppose that there is no further obstructions inside the actual wood as im sure you know marble and chainsaws do not mix and is a sure fire way to kill a chain. .. hope this helps and do as you have done so already shed loads of photos of all aspects of surrounding damage is amazing how many "new" wobbly headstones are about after treework has been done lol
  13. but she was not happy at the size of the bar she has seen them with bigger
  14. think this really should be split to a seperate topic and this area kept for tree pics ......
