Arborist

Well its made of wood and someone must of used a chainsaw to carve it so YES !!!

In a post earlier today someone put a one liner in it something about a wet kooch, it made me larf but i fogotton half of it and now i cant find it, can any one please tell me where i can find it.

2 Weeks before we did the exams for the G5 card of what ever it was we were given the exam paper with the answers filled in. where you ok? Some one dropped a line in a phesent pen and elcctrophide the chicken wire an some one else felled a small tree on to the line and got a good belt. Also at the time another firm some ones arm went through the chipper. We had one saw each wether we were up a tree or felling on the ground 020t.

what is it with the bosses of utility companys, there all wan*ers. I worked for Mid-Surrey, What a firm no insurance, MOt on the landrover cherry pickers and made to drive them, he would pick us up in the morning pissed from the nght before, made us spike up trees and then rope in - to save time,and when i cut my leg with the chainsaw they filled in the risk assesment on the bonnet and instead of taking me to a hospital in oxfordshire drove me back to Guildford in the back of a 110 sitting on all the crap in there! A good two hour drive and just dropped me of at the hospital door and drove off. I had only been out of college a few months and was young so they put me under pressure to tell the doctor for his notes that I did it in my back garden. Not even a phone call that night to see how I was, turned up next day for work and got a bollokin for not brining my climbing kit.

Steel biners, Heavy duty pully, And a bag to put it all in, Dont forget you get the two slings with it as well.

Hi cordwood, I have taken some pic's but forgot to take a pic of the two lowering slings! There the thick blue type, one bigger than the other and rated at a couple of ton's I think. Whoopie sling, Split tail, Flying capstan, Nice pink! lowering rope,

When I was at Merrist Wood they had a Little David, I doubt they have dot it now or there not allowed to use it. Dangerous bit of kit.

If I get chance tomorrow i'll take a pic for you with it layed out on the ground. Did you get the price? Where abouts are you bassed?

It will take a couple of minites to put your spikes on telho, i think a rescue line is a good idear but remember to think things through and practice say once every 6 months when you have had your kit inspected. Main thing is the injured climber needs to be rescued quickley but without injuring your self as well in the process.

If you get more than 10 days out of it, it will stil be cheeper than hiring 1 for that time.

Biggles a!! Is that really your dog ? What about doggie hi viz vests...

About 3 years ago I felled 2x huge Hollys and burnt the lot on site:cussing: i blody kick my self now. Whats the difference between using PVA and the liquid wax? Do you use neat PVA, please could you explain how you season types of wood?

Thats good because I planted a Himalayen Birch and took it off. I have come across a couple when grubbing out stumps in peoples garden and they were all rusty.

When planting root balled trees that are wraped in hessian and then the metal mesh, do you keep it on or take it off. Diffrent people i have spoken to do either.

How do you work out what hight to build your jig? What do you do with those rounds of timber, are they varnished?

Bollox to Blair!!! im glad he has gone. Just a shame that muppet took over.

How much do they want for it?

That would look prity cool, where do you get them from?

Hope every one had a great christmas day and wish you all a safe 2008.

Tocmal, Hears the gang! They are good to take they are a huge talking point, esp when quoting as the client normally spends more time stroking them/talking about then so nearly all ways get the job also when repeat clients ring to rebook they always ask if I'm bringing the dogs. Hard hats thats funny, i should get them some company doggie t shirts made. Tried making the pic smaller but didn't work soz!

Just turned over and found this on brittish euro sports, anybody watching?

Thanks for resizing the image ill try and work out how to do that later! The seats are still in as the dogs/other people sit on them but i do put saws bags etc on the floor etween the seats. I have seen a replacement seat advertised somewhere that has a lockable cabanet underneath that you accsess by lifting up the bottom of the seat. Chip box - the ali pannels ar tounge and grove and are 200mm deep so in the new year im going to make the sides higher bu 1 or 2 of these pannels. Even tho the chip box isn't as big as it could be when its fully loaded its going to be over its weight limit. I did once have it on a weigh bridge at just over 5 ton. I am also going to to fit barn doors on the back and make a ladder rack. I have contacted brown church who make the galv type of landrover roof racks but the more you put on the less load you can carry. And most inportantly of all get it sign written!!!! The overhang at the back isnt a problem just a standard crewcab chassie not a extended frame. The chip box is bigger than it looks.

Thes main reason I got the transit is because i have to take my 4 dogs with me most of the time and when i baught it the cabster was only a single cab. I have herd that people have had problems tith the transit but i guess i have been lucky! The only 2 issues i have is the low fule econamy and stopping when loaded up. The guy who told me about the canter is a mechanic who works for a are crane plant company.

I managed it but it was a pain in the arse and I WONT be doing it again.

My Transit is fine and I've never had a problem with it. I baught it as a import but all UK spec and quite a bit cheeper than direct from ford. I have been told by a few people that the Mitsubishi Canter was not much cop tho!
