  1. I'll be honest Tim I like the guy, he appears to have some backbone. Whether or not you or I share his views is a different matter. However, I have seen little or no evidence so far that makes be believe him to be a liar....wish I could say the same for Bush and Blair. Here is a speech made in parilment, spoken with great clarity and commitment, which is often not the case on that particular stage. FWIW, I believe he speaks the truth, if anyone can specifically prove otherwise then I'd like to hear about it. No hard feelings towards anyone in this thread, I'm keeping my personal views private but I still try to keep an open mind to that of others. Hey, he who listens learns. worth a watch [ame] [/ame]
  2. Tell us about Hezbollah George [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=249JaIaubVw[/ame]
  3. Haha, that would be nice! nah we're ticking over though. I just keep praying these young trees will somehow dis-proportionately thicken out lower down....no signs yet though:cussing: I have about 10 left out of 40 that were made. However, when they're gone I'll have to consider whether or not to continue with it. As when we leave England, I'm not sure I'll have the time to mess around with this stuff, at least not at first. You know how it is Butch, cant afford to get stuck in the mud bro.

    teamwork!

    [ame] [/ame] I'm not really into posting or even watching poor workmanship, but there's something about these guys that tickles me. Maybe its the bad hair! I dont think he even realised that when the top finally did come over, it first hits the tree in front which then sends it off sideways (watch carefully), a more substantial contact and and who knows.....he may have gotten hurt.

    Portable Winch

    Hmmm, I’m not sure what to think now. The versatility is what I'm most attracted to, but its not much use if, for whatever reasons, it falls short on guts and durability. I'll ask around a little more, thanks for the info guys:icon14:
  10. http://www.proclimber.co.uk/catalogue/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=87&products_id=261&zenid=31f818f25ad93cb99782941ca8306d6f This could be a worth-while investment for me, even though it works out a little more expensive than what I'd expected. Has anyone ever used one of these winches? The write-up has little mention of the mechanics, I’d like to know what happens when the load it too heavy! Any knowledge on this product or similar powered winches would be appreciated. Thanks
  11. Sound good from here Shansen, looks quite a big venue also. You must be very proud, how long has he been playing?
  12. Congratulations, 40 years, thats quite something. Here's hoping you can take it to half a century:beerchug:
  13. pecontools, A scene from War of the Worlds perhaps? Remind me not to lend you any of my gear:corkysm21:, what happened?

    Hey good on you Drew, stick with it mate. Tell us about your work scene when you get chance, you might be able to tempt a few others.
  15. Hey Deva, happens to everyone, but the cream always rises to the top, so hang in there. Weather looked rough on that second pine! That’s the first time I’ve seen the GRCS man-lift technique, heard about it though. Right after a big lunch is when I’d be most appreciative. It would be nice to hear a little more about this set-up. Great vid.

    Hello Adam, stay where you are, you’re missing nothing here. I worked in Auckland 99-2000, had a great time, couldn’t really fault it. Although, I did get tired of hearing how great the Allblacks were all the time, and the Blackcaps, and Blacksocks (hockey I think), yeah really quite annoying as I recall. But other than that, the place has everything so long as you can get a living. Are you permanent? If so how? Contrary to popular belief, Arborists are not on the Long Term Skills Shortage List, so what’s the story mate?

    Excuse my lazyness Tockmal but the explanations are in this thread over on treebuzz. http://www.treebuzz.com/forum/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=113651&an=0&page=0#113651 dont bother looking at the attachments, they're just the same as the ones in the picture thread here on Arbtalk.

    Yeah I know, but I'd have had to choose at least 4 songs and by the time I'd finished editing the boredom had really taken hold. Thanks for the positive comments though guys, I'm glad it wasn't all for nothing.
  19. This is the video of the split Beech tree that I posted pictures of. Actually, its two video’s taken over the consecutive Saturdays. The first one starts a little dark, as was the day, but the quality improves so hang in there. The second one is much brighter Some peculiar sounds on both so turn up your volume. About 20 minutes to watch both. Thanks Day 1 [ame] [/ame] Day 2 [ame] [/ame]

    I didn't really have a say in why it was decided to bring the trunk down, another contracter won the job, he then asked me to do it for him. My wife actually took the better pictures of the bunch, she was pretty safe.

    Split beech tree

    Hey sorry about that sideways picture, I forgot to turn it around. I thought there were two more but there's actually just one more of the stump. Today had actually been the dry and sunny, and I was quite relieved that everything had gone to plan...no hiccups at all.
  23. Here's a job we did over the last couple of Saturdays. We did it in two stages so the groundworkers at the golf course could clean up some of the debri in between the 2 Saturdays. There's more to come after the first batch, so hang on!
