  1. If you look at the pic stevie, there is no compression of the bark at the back of the back cut. There does look to be some at the side of hinge nearest the camera.
  2. I have read this a few time and don't understand it. If it was held by a block and tackle, how could it go back? Or did it go over sideways?
  3. Good post David!! I was told by the timber merchant who I used to climb for when I first started, that you should only cut off stuff that at most is half the length of the distance from it to the floor. Do they not teach such things at collage??
  4. :confused1:I find they do, in fact I find they are essential.
  5. Steve is talking logs, thats talking chip and pellet.
  6. :sneaky2:Its not "only £2", its 33% more than you!!!! They'll not make many friends doing thing like that!!!
  7. I bet thats not the first time you've said that!!:ohmy: :lol:
  8. I was driving through my village with a subie who was grounding for the day, he pointed out a garden that had just been revamped. He asked me what I thought of it, I said I did not like it (it was all curb stones and old railway sleeper). We stopped at my dads to drop something off, when I came back out of my dads a guy was talking to the subie. As I passed them both to get back in the mog, the subie says "this is the guy who's garden you don't like",............. WTF!!!!
  9. Rubbish!! The bearings are a weakness, but to say they go every week is just silly:thumbdown:
  10. Fantastic!!! This is just the sort of thing that makes this site sooooooooo Great!!!!!!!!!
  11. Spot on Josh!!! IMO:tongue_smilie:
  12. Good machine!! But as you say heavy. 7 inch not 10, well the ones I used.
  13. Looks genuine to me. Why not just give the guy a ring, his number is at the bottom of the listing.
  14. I heard of a saw mill that built the kiln round the wood. They used those thick insulation boards used in construction, ratchet straps round, jiffy foam the joints and off you go.
  15. Great vid!! Great job!! Thanks for taking the time!!
  16. Good stuff, 150 to 200 tonnes. Crap, conifer and pop and willow, 80 to 100 tonnes.
  17. Already on it mate!! 2 arctic loads gone and 5 more sold and waiting to go
  18. Looks great Ed!!! I anticipate your most competitive price!! MATE!!!!!!
  19. You my friend are going to get fat!!
  20. The way I see the law and qualifications, they are NOT a legal requirement, you may leave yourself open to prosecution by not having them or making sure the people you employee have them. To illustrate:- If someone leaves a sack of potato's on the pavement out side their house, on the pavement, and some one trips over it and injures them self. The person who left the sack on the pavement would be liable and could be prosecuted. Does that mean it is "illegal" to leave a sack of potatoes on the pavement?? of cause not!! BUT if you do you COULD be liable. As for experience not being enough and the "fancy lawyers" thats what was said about land owners and VTI. There was a recent case where a tree failed causing damage to a car, the car owner sued the tree owner. Every one said he was in the brown stuff, as he had not had the trees inspected by a "qualified person". BUT NO the judge saw sense and accepted that the inspections done by the "experienced" estate workers were fine!
  21. If your car is more than 3 years old and you take it on the road you ARE BREAKING THE LAW, there are no OTHER legal methods of of proving its road worthiness. The above DOES NOT apply to NPTC. I really don't feel we do our industry or our selfs any favors by talking about NPTC like its some sort of license. I get sick of lads coming on site and saying things like, "I'm gonna get my chainsaw licence"............ WTF.
