  5. Teaspoon , biggest conker I’ve seen.
  6. Mine is nuts , anybody else who takes something extra in winter.
  7. The wife brought this monster home.
  8. I understand. Here’s What I meant The SpiderJack brake lever is made of pock wood, an especially hard and oily wood. Most of the precious pock wood comes from Central America, traded only under strict legal control. Its botanical name is Guajacum. Depending on its geopgraphical origins, Guajacum carries additional names like coulteri (Mexico) or officinale (Antilles). In Europe the name „pock wood“ derives from the times, when its resin was used in the fight against pox. Because of its high proportion of oil and its great density, pock wood is a well known natural product featuring an outstanding abrasion resistance. Even the drive shafts of steam ships were mounted on pock wood. It is well known, wood is a poor conductor of heat, even more so with pock wood. So naturally, controlling a rope with the SpiderJack‘s pock wood brake conducts very little heat.
  9. Can anybody tell me if school pupils ( year 10 ) get paid while doing work experience. My Son is doing his work experience here in Germany 3 days a week. But doesn’t receive any payment or perks whatsoever. I’m just interested. thanks
  10. I think it’s used for the thumb brake on the spider jack oily wood
  11. Best smelling wood shavings i’ve experienced was from a Oak whiskey barrel. Very nice
  12. Is that the 3000 year old Yew in Scotland
  13. I like the smell of Scots pine. And yesterday while deadwooding one and enjoying the smell I thought I recognised a antiseptic smell , is this possible.
  14. The amount of branches is pretty amazing as well.
  15. Beautiful drone footage , next best thing to flying . Well worth the effort. what age would it be.?
  16. A well shaped Garden hose pipe works well.
  17. His back cut was too high . Cutting over and past the place where the hinge should be.
  18. Thanks for answering . Almost looks as bad as my saw. I’m just going to scrap it.
  19. I think keeping you hands warm makes a big difference. i use wrist warmers in winter. And of cause taking enough breaks if cutting all day
  20. Hopefully not , as you know the weakest link should be the lowering rope. but you’re probably right.
