  1. I like mine done with a brown vinegar and brown sugar brine.I made some years back,but don't remember the quantities of ingrediants. What is the recipe of your batch?
  2. Have to say you did a top job on that! To be fair,I'd have shown the client the waste in the Hedge and asked for an extra Tarrif.
  3. Hahaha! You just made me spray Tea out of my nose!
  4. There are a few variations to the "bore and release".In the UK you meet the bore cut at a downwards angle,the cut I showed was taught when I worked in the Forest in New Zealand. I will make another couple of short vids of the variations,when the weather is good.Don't hold your breath!
  5. Here is a video I made showing a bore and release.I felled it off a high stump so the camera could see the activity.[ame= ] [/ame]
  6. A very noble idea,but really only workable if you have a surplus of cash and time.
  7. Cool! I'll try that then.Also need a rear brake cylinder.Or seal kit.

    Sorry I've not gotten back to you regarding your wish to walk some trails here in Norway.Please tell me again how long you wish your trips to be,wether or not you wish to stay out overnight or several days.

  9. Snatching tops by yourself, by winding the lowering rope around the stem below your cut. Rope must be wound top to bottom or it will jamb. Sounds Hokey,but its a good one to know.
  10. My peference is Sthil. Due moslty to being more familiar with the brand and how to fix them etc. I have used "Husky's" but not for any real length of time.Frankly I feel that a user's brand loyalty is more based on personal preference or what their company provides for their use than Sthil being more reliable than "Husky" or vis versa. As for brands other than the two above?They are mostly used by private or occasional chainsaw users.IMHO.
  11. Had to post again to erase the Satanic post count I was displaying.
  12. Well,just the glass really.If anyone has a old wreck they could rob one off,I will pay £40 plus postage.
  13. Good job on that! I wonder how many "supprises" there are in that Butt for your chainsaw to find?Even one nail every three years adds up to 100! Bring some extra chains mate!
  14. Good video mate! Thanks for posting that,well done to you and your groundsman.
  15. You'll need a good few years before you'd have the experiance to do Trees like that.But in the meantime keep building your skill set and before you know it,you'll be in NZ deadwooding with a 066.
  16. 200 foot plus,big spready Eucalyptus.But it smells nice and is really strong,you need it to be for the size of the lumps you can swing off them.
  17. I have the generic version of that phone.I think its made by "Sonim" in Sweden.Good for a while,but the plugs that cover the charger plug and hands free holes soon fall off.Its a good phone,but durable in the short term only.Mine I'm on my second in six months.
  18. Yes,its a beautiful Bergen evening.Liquid sunshine beating on the roof.
  19. Hello

     

    Send me your address mate and I'll send you over that Amber Leaf

     

    Cheers
