Tonight I went for a quick fish after work,the Pollock are in.Good eating and much better than watching T.V.
-
Well done! I hope this is the first in many qualifications and the start of a long and happy climbing career!
-
I'm going to get one as well!I plan to keep a sack barrow in the boot incase it breaks down,then I'll just push it home.
-
Nice work!I like climbing Pines,and they smell great when your chipping them.
-
The bed,legs and gear box casing are all cast Iron.we were saying today that when it was made,it might have cost the eqaivalent of the operators anual wage.And I got it free,chances are it will outlast me as well!
-
thanks,its above the snatch block os out of the "bight". Anyway,Kiwi's are tougher than Oak :wave:
-
Well...the cowboys were straight felling big limbs into and onto the garden!Smashed the path,rail fence and many shurbs,these guys had no idea.
-
Your probably quite right,a mate thinks that might have happened as well.I couldn't bear to see it scrapped and I'll stuff it into the container tomorrow with the Hi ab.Got somefunny looks this arvo standing in the yard and turning some old "Re bar" for no better reason than I could!
-
These pictures are from a job that was started by some cowboys in a MEWP.Thankfully the homeowner stopped them before they smashed the house. Fourteen tons of Oak came off these three trees.Firewood situation sorted.
-
Lesson learned,no harm done.I once cut through the hinge of a tree being winched as I got too cocky.It smashed a fence and landed in a pond. Lesson learned and some harm done:thumbsdown:
-
Thanks.Yes I'm well stoked,it must weight close to a ton?The truck rode well with the Lathe over the rear axel and it usually takes a ton to do that.
-
I found this at the dump yesterday, a three phase Lathe with a eight foot bed!Its old as the hills but sombody has loved it enough to replace the bushes in the gearbox with bearings and pollish the brass bits and peices on it.I'm not sure exactly what I'll use it for but its a nice thing to have in the lockup!
-
I bought my last female climber a pink Helmet,she was very happy with it.Some times I wear it when driving the Unimog,I like to give mixed messages.

Is there a viable future for dry top quality logs
Mike Hill replied to yaxleylad's topic in Firewood forum
I guess it depends on how much the consumer relies on their fire for heating,thus if the wood is green and puts out less heat then the consumer will take objection to the the lack of quality.Around here the most popular wood to burn is Birch,but most people will accept Spruce.We have a list of people who will colect wood from jobs for us and they will travel further for Birch than for anything else,Ash,Oak,Tamarac etc.We don't sell firewood,I'd have to find out all the costs involved. -
Seeing the groundie that you have trained can now actually sharpen a chain. The wind blowing over the Tree you were straight felling to "Save time" after you've put nine wedges in the back cut.

http://http://www.airsoftscotland.com/acatalog/Gamma_M33.gif These would also be quite an effective deterrent,but pay attention to the instructions

We have a website http://www.tredoktor.no, as well as giving some students free firewood for distributing flyers.Sounds like a silly idea but it really has worked,as the students parents are/were our target market.

If I was a UFC fighter and wanted to sound tough,I'd be "UNIMOG". But "Cabstar" might go down well at gay pride wrestling matches. No pun intended.
-
I think that sort of thing is very popular at Gay pride events

Dad used to give me five .303 rounds for an Owl,good commerce considering it usually only took one .22 round and a bit of time with a Torch. Ahhh.....real New Zealand:proud:

www.buckstix.com/howitzer.htm Pin point accuracy no,smoke flame and fun yes!
-
Problem was of course,the truck was to long.
-
+1 for the "Defender Center".I bought my last 110 from them,I came up from London and the machine was absolutley as described.I ran it without trouble and sold it for a profit.

Man I do miss a propper Donner Kebab! "Chips with that mate?" Brilliant!
