    I'm sure it has nothing to do with comments like this, or comments previously:sneaky2: I think your "way" with words, and possible your attitude may make people less likely to want to join in.

    Oh yeah, I'll make sure I've got my pliers (don't know if i fancy my chances of getting it off though!) well spotted hama!

    I've just been sent a photo and thought I'd share it as it's quite an interesting one, the wound has been there for 27 years and gets a bit bigger every year, the limb has a double bottleneck which would be the worrying point imo, I'm probably gonna reduce/thin a little to reduce the sail/movement (if it's needed) so long as there are no fung, goes to show how long things can last! has anyone ever done a limb wobble test? (tie a rope on to the limb and give it a shake while watching the fork/worrying area?)

    I thought you would use it every sharpen so the rakers are always at the correct height.....it does hold a standard flat file?
  5. treemeup
    so do you get a full files length of movement? it just looks much shorter
  6. treemeup
    Well, good luck mate!
  7. treemeup
    is it an optical illusion or is it much shorter than a standard file?

    I think this is done in a lab, method:breaking sticks and measuring their bend ratio. think these values are logged and averaged for different species

    Is this not the reason he posted? I personally dont want someone investing in a product which, in the view of the target market wont sell!

    Quite unethical in my experience!

    I think that looking at it I would put my aspen into one of the combi cans already on the market, this just doesn't look that robust and it's not one piece like the ones out already. I think having a first aid kit by the fuel is a good idea although shouldn't it should be more protected against spillage should one occur as petrol could degrade the plastic sealed packets inside the kit?

    I can see that there is a good case for using this technique (I would use it in certain circumstances) but like all things they must be applied correctly!

    I've done one tree bend test, the consultant had the micrometer at the base of the tree and if it was going to fail anywhere it would have been after the first fork, we did mention this but he didn't seem too interested

    get the pre-filter on these it works a treat!
  15. treemeup
    Rope clips on the front, saw on the back and strop on the side. So long as it doesn't leave you in agony it'l be just fine (you've got it now so you'll just have to try it!)

    nope, we have a short fall and have to buy in, but we are still in the top 15 oil exporters. Dont think we should de-rail too far thoughts are with the Japanese, lets hope the worst is over!
  17. treemeup
    but we also sell loads

    been on site where a line was cut and was only noticed when it was a good way through the chipper

    "chuck up the 20" is how we roll here and long will it continue, even with the appearance of the 201 me thinks
  20. treemeup
    200t's are the easiest chains to keep maintained, short, don't often hit anything etc so the best candidate for a full chisel? surely a full chisel chain will offer quicker cutting? What was wrong with the old one...... come now Les, we don't get progress with that attitude
  21. treemeup
    sweeeeet, I want some too!!
  22. treemeup
    Thanks Paul, my h&s folder is getting bigger! One day I will be going for AAC, hopefully sooner rather than later.....
  23. treemeup
    there is a real easy way to tie a timber hitch in a deadeye, i'll try and explain but sure there is a guide to it somewhere ..... throw the working loop round the tree(no hardware attached!), at the point where the bite is going to happen (a bit over the circumference) hold the rope (dont let go!), this was just for measurement! take the line and spin it round and round towards the tail from the point found previously, creating a loop mid way along the line, pass the splice back round the tree and through the loop just created and hey presto a timber hitch (if that makes sense)

    Which is why they need to begin doing a little fighting from our corner, i'm all for sensible regulation and across the board membership of upstanding arb firms but they wont get that unless they are seen to be helping us also, re my previous post. So am i to think that once everyone is a member the AA may abuse that power in the name of creating a revenue for themselves? also (possibly) an argurment for my previous post to show that they are interested in representing, and not just creaming our profits... should the system work so that: the government do the regulating and the AA the representing? (while keeping a keen eye on the ground for the government) It must be said I'm becoming a little confused as to motives etc, and i'm only scratching the surface...
  25. treemeup
    I think this is why the AA needs to do a bit of lobbying towards things like tax breaks on climbing equipment and chainsaw protection, as from "our" point of view it can look slightly like there is only proper interest in areas where money can be generated, not purely a regulatory system which happens to create revenue! It would show that the AA are not just regulating but also representing!
