Blimey, that's a big'un!! Great find!
-
Nice pics mate. Looked like another smooth job.
-
Ah, I see it now! Nice one Danny.
-
Cool. Don't get me wrong, I am no 200T-revving silky-hater. Just curious to hear people's reasons...I made the initial comment because I couldn't see a chainsaw on Danny's harness so wondered if he had dismantled all the branchwork with a handsaw.

Fair enough. I am not trying to be negative - I have just never found the need for a silky saw when felling/dismantling. I tend to stick with a chainsaw and use step cuts so I can snap off pieces with both hands and throw them where I want. Horses for courses and all that....

I bloody hope so - just spent a year and a bucket of money getting my qualification!! Yes - it is recognised in industry because it is written by the Arb Association. It has a good reputation. It is nothing like NPTC qualifications as these are just certificates of competency in practical matters. The AA Tech Cert is a more academic course aimed at practitioners to enhance knowledge of most areas in Arb.

Yeah - he comes on here now and again. Apparently he used to be a tree surgeon.
-
Nice tidy job. How come you were using a silky to remove the branches?
-
Ha ha - is the pope catholic?!

I like the 441. I like the anti-vibe springs instead of rubbers - makes it very smooth but only if the chain is kept super sharp. If it is a tad blunt I think the springs make it shake more than the rubbers used to. But a great saw - powerful and light.
-
If there are some nice lengths you could sell it to turners? Sorry - that wasn't your question and quite honestly I don't know if it burns well.
-
Fabulous pics Bob!
-
If people are busy in the run up to Christmas, maybe do this in the New Year?
-
So I should cancel my order on the Veyron and stick with my Passat estate?
-
No, I couldn't tell for certain. Looks pretty funky on that pot huh!
-
Had to rub my eyes when I saw this last week!

I think wherever it is, it needs to be easily reachable by train if we are intending to have a couple of sherberts. Taunton and Bath are both fine. Shall we stick with 13th or are lots from here going to Kew?
-
Great, thanks Gaynor! Good idea. Do you have a date or location in mind? Perhaps make a suggestion and see who is up for it?
-
3 of my colleagues have done their back in during the last 3 weeks. I think this must have alot to do with the colder weather combined with not stretching/warming up for work.
-
Bank away dude! By the way, what are you talking about? -
No. I think we're all missing something.

Take a can of shaving foam - freeze for 24 hours. Then carefully cut away the aerosol can to leave a solid block of frozen shaving foam. Chuck in to a mate's car on a hot summers day, and hey presto, you have a car totally full of foam!
-
Where?
-
Cheers Justin. Sorry, I don't mean to be demanding on your time mate. I would just prefer to give you the business and can't understand why everyone else is adding VAT on their boots!
-
Definitely mate, just teasing.
