Play dough machine on steriods, i like it

Dont do the crime ,if you cant do the time !

We try do do a couple a month , after much practice and trials we found youd be pretty stuffed if you cut yourself .Pre installed rescue lines speed it all up on large trees ..hope i never have to use it

CHE arb ,exams next week ..lots of revision to do..

Remove every trace of sawdust before you get in the house, and the mrs goes nuts because she just hoovered !!

Something about those type cranes spook me.

yea looks like a fishing rod on roids

Lots & lots of Guinness

I'm gonna be anemic this weekend !

I saw a security smoke system in a workshop the other day ,looked pretty slick the guy recons it fills a large room in seconds...

. I was going to try putting some of those red rubbery gloves on to unlock it but I''ve had enough for one day :wave:

Would'nt the pikies use rubber gloves too ? Get some geese they are evil...

Sounds good , count me in just dont tell the wife !

Yeah, the Predator smokes that bike saw.

Dont get between a man and Harley Chainsaw bike thing lol

Not only is he struck by an albeit small widow maker but he doesnt make an escape....its like he's hypnotised by the falling stick. Its an interesting vid. .

My old man was felling with a guy that got hit by a ash limb ,said he squeeled like a pig .He had a brain hemorage and died 2 months later.. take care out there..

The more training units you give someone the greater the false sense of security you give them that they are suited to the occupation. Despite all the training newcommers to the work get injured as they find more elaborate ways to cause themselves harm. This is a dangerous occupation. If you cant accept that some risk is involved however minimised it is nowadays get out.

Personally I think I will give up tree work to go Alaskan King Crab fishing as all the thrills and spills of this job are in decline these days.

Yea all the gear and no idea .

I was just looking for a course to do this year.lol

Thought NPTC would come up with a course to cover it!

Dismantling Operations something like CS41 but with a crane .

Is there any official training for the use of cranes in arb ?

I would'nt tell the plummer i had in last week how to do his job.But i do understand where your comin from ,i think we should try to educate clients on best practice thats why we go to the effort of learning it ourselfs.

I love trees but not that one ...it blocks me gutters whats the best way to kill it !

Trees and people thats the problem..tree are messy it's people trying to tidy everything that causes trouble..and as professionals we are supposed to like trees ,inflicting large amounts of wounds would leave any tree exposed to infection especially sizeable ones..

sorry....but in my experience you cant trust anyone with an addiction/habit. they will be looking at ways to get their fix, and i dont just mean drugs, simple things like smoking regular ciggies in work trucks after being told no are a regular occurance.

I agree ,if you cant leave it at home then you have a problem and way to much time on your hands ...I did the smoking thing and enjoyed it ,but when you have to smoke all day it aint fun
