  1. the diplomer is now at level 6 so i have been informed
  2. i believed that a diploma in arb was alot higher than a tech cert.... but the other day i got told they were at the same level, i find this really hard to believe!!!!!! any opinions?
  3. i do mine about 3 inches below, i dont think they need to be that deep either.........just enough to stop the tears and pulling you off your irons
  4. ive never had a barber chair in the tree but its not a nice experience anywhere, the sap cuts hel it break off easier and stop tears like everyone has said, i worked with a guy who used to put massive 'sap cuts' in the side of his gob!!!! not below it, thus making the hinge half the size!!!!!!!!! i did ask him what he was doing and he said he had seen me doing it!!! obviously not paying propper attention which can cause major accidents
  5. thats too much smokey joe!!
  6. nice, i have 2 near me, not quite as tall though but not far off!
  7. mark-just a quick question.... why the anchor point and 2 lower anchors? and not just 1 lower anchor point?

  9. cutting the side with compression on too deep and jamming the saw!!!! my mate ''forgot'' to tie the lowering rope on a limb befor he cut it!!!!!
