You are putting the strop on the silver ring not on the plastic fella ? You will loose your saw other wise!! I'm still on the original but then I will always clip the saw back up and have only dropped it on the strop a handful of times. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

The only thing I don't like about the rope guide is the trapeze .. The old desighn with the screw was much better, I have found the trapeze can clip it self in to the eye end of the rope resulting in a stuck device... Then you pull it as hard as possible and your £47 out of pocket for a new one! At the end of the day I suppose any pulley rated will do. For a bit of practise though I would try a VT for the hand over hand style ascending as it's the exact same as ascending you will be doing as on the SJ unlike a Prussik or Blakes single hand thrust.

Get a ART rope guide... If you don't all ready have one, the main reason the climbing is so slick in those vids is because of the rope guide ... The same style frictionless climbing can be adopted on advanced hitches and be as fluid,but the SJ will not be as fluid with out the rope guide. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

What model is the valtra ? My life needs a day glow green timber grab... Very envious. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Owned a few until the valves popped , one was a bag of poo from the start with carb and fuel issues and the 4 stroke thing produces far to much torque for the shafts and gear boxes creating other problems... Would never buy another. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Ahh but they are not perfectly engineered !! See the photos in the square ground filling thread of new chain, round filled new chain is exactly the same I have found , big flat spots that can be drastically improved with little effort. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Yes and that was a reply after your first comment that had nothing at all to do with answering a question just laughing at it .... Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

It sure is I don't or didn't read in to the opening post as some one trying to get his views across... Any way life's to short , it's the weekend and I'm missing bits of my film replying to this !! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

On his right to wear what boots he wants then try and tear down and insult what some one believes ... Sorry mate he asked a question if you can't contribute any thing worth while to it I don't see the point in replying to thread. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Wow the guy only asked if any one made vegan boots! I don't think it was any moral high ground that's his belief .. It should be respected and instead got nearly two pages of piss taking. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Does the p3000 have rubber inserts for pruning or rigging off other trees? Those spikes don't look like they will be healthy if they don't! I don't regret buying the 3001 , honeys and gustarts have them on offer as well as the moment. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

That was the timber you used for the project from the FC nick , do you have an idea of age from being felled as I think its probably younger than I estimated... Glad its some use and your more than welcome to use the mill when you need some more mate. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Saw logs had been felled 3 -4 years previous and was dry and light when cut so it went straight up.. Some of the larch and pine cladding was wet but that has not moved at all. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Thanks , band saw effort definitely! Still very new to band saw milling so that was a big learning curve spent plenty of time on an Alaskan though so had a rough idea of what to do. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I like milling it , cuts nice and its light compared to other timbers...used it with larch and pine on a new shed,all the beams in top pic are all Douglas with the exception of maybe a few larch. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
