Also, they may think thats how it should look and think the workmanship is great, afterall they will have seen it many, many times before, so it must be right:closedeyes: Shame the puplic are brainwashed with terms like lop and top and topping:mad1:

You never now BBB, the customer might be really happy in the knowledge that they got the job done less than half the price of the other quotes:scared1:

After years of saw work, i've learned that sometimes after putting a new chain on a saw, it doesnt seem to cut perfectly and actually seemed to cut better after the first sharpen, now i always give a new chain a rub straight out of the box. I understand such saw vets as Al smith and Pete McSarnie have done this for years. Today i even took 4 strokes off every depth guage on a new oregon chain. Anyone else do the same?

Nahh, way out, its single phase and British Telecom:001_tongue:

Sorry John, couldnt resist! Nice pic by the way:thumbup1:

Didnt fancy giving them a quote then? After your recent private job, wondered if you might fancy it? Lol:001_cool:

So how about a wee lift over them roofs then John:sneaky2:

Wow Iain! Bet there aint many complying with that last paragraph:scared1: Cheers for the info, well appreciated.

He found it the top of a conifer:001_tongue:

Had exactly the same happen to me a while back. The piece of hedge i looked in when i priced it must have been the only bit out of 200meters without any in it:scared1: As it happened, it worked well for walking through as it was like a pathway and was strong enough to stand on. All the previous guys brash was left where it was, as in the quote it clearly said "Reduction of conifer and removal of waste from this reduction":sneaky2:

Think that just about sums it up for most, you got chain oil in your veins:001_tt1:

I'll groundies more than that! Sounds like you are a bit frustrated Ross, but you will get sorted in the end.

Great post as always Uncle Al! I recon my little saw would love to come on holiday to your shop Al, just to see what else you could get out of her:001_tt1:

As for me Dean, i think in this particular case the earlier pruning cut would not have made much difference to this outcome. The dead on the back of the stem seems to be away from the callus around the older wound. (hope that makes sense!) I like Stihllearnings idea of returning when the ridge is more evident.

Nice one Khriss, do you think its nearer the power of a 200 now? Al, that Magnum sounds a beast! Is the 038 around 60-63cc stock next to the 660 at 93cc?

Trouble is Bob, i dont believe most people are managing well, going by how many threads there are on here about different aches and pains people get and what pain killers and suppliments to take. Recently i have been suffering from tennis elbow and it seems many other people do also. A lighter saw must be a better option for this alone? Oh, and changing sprocket size, ie chain speed, is that not altering the manufacturers spec also? Go on Bob, I'm ready...........................

No worries Bob, some interesting points. I guess the main reason i like the idea(even though i only have 2 ported saws) is the extra power from a smaller saw, particularly in the tree to combat fatigue. I wonder if, (as far as risk assessment goes) reduced fatigue from using a smaller saw outweighs the points you raise though Bob? OK then, i guess you can shoot me down now:001_rolleyes:
-
I did think of you when i posted that Bob, I do know you arent a fan of any modded saws, but is there any particular reason? Just curious really:sneaky2:
-
Ok then all you avid 192 owners, any of you going to give it a go:confused1:
-
I also believe there is a slight bit of misleading going on here about kids. It clearly states on the website quoted, "We have no children in our directory" Like Huck says would be nice if we could just state the facts!

Bet the street lamp on the roof comes in handy(last pic)

Would you like to elaborate? Are you saying anyone who works off a ladder is a thief?

Does being a good climber mean he's a good tree worker??
