Whats the difference between class 1 and 2?
-
You have the RFS Cert level 2 and the RFS Prof Dip level 6. The Tech Cert level 3. I think the level 2 has been re writen but the format for the 3 and 6 hasn't been finalised yet. If it was the level 3 tech cert that you wanted to do its no longer avaliable in that format so you will have to wait and see what comes out towards the end of the summer.

Explain to the client on the phone before you go to look at the job that the app will be charged for but if they decide employ you to carry out the work then the price for the app will be taken off the quote, Works for me. Allthough any other profession the app would be charged for regardless wether you got the work.

You will need an atom drill bit. The spec for the bar and washers in in the old bs3998 not sure if its in the new will have to look. I braced an Oak last month and had the bars made up.

Co dominent stems need to sway together as 1 unit, a heavy side latural branch can be blown up down, side to side ect and rope can then become untensioned then tensioned which will snatch on the load bearing part of the tree that the brace is attached to this is where the shock obsorber needs to be used.

See how far he puts his hand in.

If you look in the istructions it says not to use the shock absorber when bracing co dominant stems.

If the people who expresed to me an intrest in the course would pm me there names and addresses ican forward on in one email and he will contact you direct to make the arrangements, and I think the assesment was about £100 allthough ive got to check.

MK5s are the smileys.
-
Like Mat says the mk5 are very good but wach out for the rust!!! If you are going for the mk6 make sure its had its oil changed as this can lead to timing chain problems. The duel mass ful wheels are also rubbish, but they can when needed be changed to a solid and I think the early mk7 had teething problems.

Apparently the stein blades are made at the same factory as the Silky ones. I havent used a Stein one but they do seem a bit heavey er and a bit more bulky, ill be sticking to my silky.

I tried to organise thise course last year and had about 7 people on here wanting to go it but unforchantly due to personal reasons I couldnt go ahead and i appologise for not getting back to people. I am now ready to go ahead with the course and need 10 people at least and I think the price was about £100. I have 3 people ready to do this. The course was to be held with surry nptc I will pm the people that contacted me to see if they want to do it and arrange a date.

Try Fentons at Reading. They have all theTaupens and will deliver

Good points dmclimber.

I dont think it matters wether they are using a chainsaw, silky or doing a climbing inspection, just the fact that 1 person is in the tree in a rope and harness.
