    Think the Jury is still out on that one but i dare say as time goes by you will be assessed by the many hundred members on here:001_cool:

    If you find a door any good, think of rocking horse poo price:blushing:

    Dare say there are also many who are exceptional at the job, but dont shout about it though:001_tt2:

    I thought i recognised the landscape, like Nige did! About 20 years ago i worked at Warter Estate that borders Millington Dale. A very nice part of the world, and a place i miss working at.

    Whereabouts was that? Did you manage to get any logs out of the stems, must be some of the best firewood going?
  6. 18 stoner
    Some of the planks;

    Here is stage 2, or is it 3? Went back a few days ago to clear the logs. Got some nice planks to make the wife a bench.....or two; Pics taken by James

    We could always come across and give you a hand Dean, and give them the Hull Look:001_rolleyes:

    Hey, its like this, we both turned up in our pikey trucks with no sign writing, topped a willow(Ha! What a shame!), got paid before we started (didnt do a runner until we finished), had a real nice day out in the sunshine and had a laugh. Exactly Ed, it needs to be said this is in the middle of Hull, not the usual stomping ground of either of us, so who cares? Perhaps those who usually work there?

    These customers were a bit different, they paid up before we started:thumbup1: So, is it reasonable to leave the job knowing you had been paid?

    Doing a height reduction on this willow today, and after the "little twerp" had finished pruning the fringe, was about to cut out his high anchor and the customer came out and insisted it stay as it was! So here you go, thoughts please, would you be happy?

    DONT confuse the two! You may find a dealer selling both, but Edwards do NOT make for anyone else!

    In the late '80s i burned tons and tons of elm on an old charnwood stove with wrap round boiler, probably ran 5 months over winter each year without going out! Never needed to mix with anything. If there was one criticism, it did tar the chimney badly but guess you would be ok if you had a liner or left the fire "open" to breathe.

    No problems at all. I do mean none! Use it nearly every day, had it two years and not missed a beat. Mine has nearly 2.5 ton payload, really good tipping angle, upgraded chassis and axles with solid high sides(not mesh) Must add, if you need anything bespoke, you will not get it from Ifor, i tried it and that was the reason i went for Edwards in the end(also was about £1200 cheaper) Oh, and as for all those saying Ifors tow well, you need to try an Edwards:sneaky2: Sounds like a promo ad, but it realy is that good:thumbup:
  16. 18 stoner
    Here you go, another for you to look at. Mine is the tp106, but didnt pay anywhere near that for it! Pricing our Flat Bed Tipping Trailers | 8 foot tipping trailer | 10 foot tipper trailer They will build what you want, not just whats on the shelf, unlike Ifor!

    One has to look after ones self, cant you tell:sneaky2: Anyway i like the feminin touch you know:blushing:

    Ha! The penny just dropped! I know where ive seen that shirt before...... My hair dresser has one just the same and he's as camp as a row of tents:lol:
  19. 18 stoner
    Cheers for all the comments, all are noted. I may be getting a little long in the tooth, but still willing to accept opinions of others:thumbup1: As for the little twerp Dean, room for improvement, but he did well for a young 'un:001_tt2:
  20. 18 stoner
    Lol! The dead twigs and sweeping up is James's department on Monday when we get back and do the milling:sneaky2: Glad to know you enjoyed the day Darren, even if you did get a good shaking when Mike had a go on the capstan:lol:

    The thing thats probably not that clear in the pics Dave, is it was a co-dominant stem, splitting at about 4 feet from the ground, hence the high felling cut of the final stem. You can just make out the second stem cut off in the pic of the stump. Hope thats what you were getting at Dave.

    Little twerp did good, the bit on the floor was my domain:blushing: As it is on this job, i did consider dropping the stem but it was to be milled, so as a new mill operator, i guessed it would be easier to mill on top of a log bed rather than trying to mill a stem that was half buried in the lawn as it was quite soft on the ground. I am not saying it was the correct thing to do though Dean:confused1:

    He was happy with tea and biscuits from the customer:001_smile: Different to he usual feast demands i am used to:001_tt2:
  24. 18 stoner
    Yeh Stevie, still very wet at the bottom, only the smaller limbs will go for firewood straight away. Will be taking the alaskan on Monday. The access was about 20 meters away from the stem but only 33" gate, hence the mill on site.

    Just like to add thanks to Darren for a very precise bit of climbing, all went well, no incidents and i've got a nice bit of elm to mill:thumbup:
