30 and 31 would be a better bet, you can then operate a saw. you should have your chipper ticket but i'd say a saw one is better. don't put yourself in teh chipper and you should be good, there are however more unobvious dangers on a saw. appear keen, sorry be keen, we have one new guy who only wants to use a saw, his days are numbered if thats his attitude Jamie

I've been on a few sites where dumper drivers collect copper from spare wire. one guy claimed to have mede 3k doing it. back to the topic that seems a bit bizzare jamie

If you go down to the woods today.........
Jamie replied to David Humphries's topic in Picture Forum
Very nice picture. I only wear white socks when i'm hill running or mountainbiking Jamie -
the control bar (the one that allows you to feed in, stop and reverse) joins the control switch on the hydraulic block via a long bar that in my picture i've called the long adjustment bar. the control bar has a small linkage bit where the adjustment bar screws into. if the bar is not screwed out enough there won't be enough of a push on the switch on teh hydralic block to make the rollers turn fast enough. similarily if the bar doesn't pull enough the rollers won't reverse that fast. we have had this problem a few times, easily fixed. when you are setting up the chipper the bar may be rotated a half turn everytime by accident. i hope that makes sense Jamie

We had a problem like that on our farmi. The pole that screws into the control bar might not be pushing the control box enough. I'll draw a pain pic Jamie

Take it. It just makes sense. My boss provides me with kit but i choose to buy my own. he supplies multiplait rope, i climb on arbormaster Jamie

try this, i think the first post is a bit excessive self diagnossing the cat with problems, i've not read the rest of the link. http://www.understandinganimals.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=97e561592a28580d9969c12b4fa7205e&topic=10612.0

I've always been told that wiping their noses in crap will just confuse them and make them morelikely to seek out somewhere more seculded so you can't find it and bury their nose in it. Why don't you search for cat forums and ask them i'm sure they'd have more useful suggestions. My mums last two cats just took to them straight off the bat. Jamie

lesson learnt, nothing was damaged. i'm sure everyone has done that once. Our newbie did that recently, except he squashed a panel of heras fence. He wasn't so cocky after that Jamie

what were they doing? Jamie

Poleclimbing competitions - Are you up for a challenge?
Jamie replied to Pete the Pole's topic in Climbers talk
And don't i know it. I amy sound like a bit of a sore loser but i found out the hard way how slow they are. Un-rigging the pole would be crap on toes Jamie -
Jim from what i know about prussics they do bite, apply a lot more weight to them, make sure you TDS (Tie, Dress and Set) your knot properly. i always give em a good tug to make sure all the slack is out. A prussic bites quite hard i'm not sure if a pully would shift it. I'm happy using a simple prussic on my pole strop i rarely need lightning fast adjustment on it. As the hitch cord ages they tend to bit a bit harder Jamie
-
congrats feller, sorry, climber Jamie
-
oh best thing though. Now the weather is better i'm starting to cycle to work again, i get the train and cycle the last 4 miles, then cycle the 18 miles home each day (taking the quiet scenic back roads). Or now i'm a hill runner, ticking off another hill. Or landing my first backflip on a mountainboard. or climbing past the overhanging crux or... Jamie
-
I figured that a long time ago. Jamie
-
I've always wanted a white lid dont know why. i climb in a husky lid, its red with no strap, its never fallen off. chin strap pah....for girly boys. Jamie
-
Very true nod. I aim to do the LOLER certificate but i can't understand how an inspector can assess a splice without knowing how they are made (i know we have spoken about this in the past Nod). But then again there can be a subtle difference between a safe splice and an incorectly executed splice. Jamie
-
I do need to get myself some piano wire. I have a chunky one made from an old coathanger, not ideal but rarely used. Jamie
-
Every so often i'll leave it a while and then shave something stupid. They generally stay for about 15 minutes until the girlfriend threatens to split / no sex. Anyone else??? Anything worse? Jamie
-
I'm agreeing with marc, that sounds good and simple. The point i hopefully made was that i've seen climbers come to us with all the metalware, the latest this, that and the other but not be able to produce the goods when required. After 5 years i'm happy running a blakes, it gets me down plenty fast and only jams when i stop abruptly on it. I may try a VT again one day, with marcs half hitch at the bottom. Jamie
-
I've got a 5 set of them. nice but they can catch strands in the rope if you're not careful. I also have a tube of KY in my splicing kit for working on old used rope... that gem is for people who mail me used rope asking for a new eye splice. Jamie
-
You should see my 'feelers'. I'm one of teh lucky ones i came out with a chephlothorax (sp), My sister is a true bug, its a shame. Jamie
-
I like that word Ed. Sums up me. I've been asked to stop being as sarcastic by my girlfriend as she can't always tell when i am. Jamie
-
No its not. The world spins round me and the sun shines outta my ass. I do homers as well, keeping honest porn stars out of their weekly wage. I'm being sarcastic, apart from the porn bit. Oh, and whats a mixologist, Someone who studies the science of mixing? Is someone who practices the science of mixing a mixiculturist? Jamie
-
I'm looking to do mine as well, get my boss to pay for it I'd fail all of his gear as of word go. Jamie
