    Basically mate, yes. A bit more than 15 quid though. The beast rings are very large and can handle 19mm rope easily. Just for reference the yellow tenex on the woopie I made is 19mm. All in all though the cost is far less than a 19mm impact block and deadeye to connect it with.

    Jay. I got quite a few from treekit. Reasonably priced and he does the Tenex aswell to make the slings. I made a 4.5 metre whoopie with the beast rings.

    I think so Pete. Surprised there was no takers. Mark called a couple of the local mills but not a sniff from them.

    Brown Oak

    Rich Rule replied to alex_w's topic in Milling Forum

    I did an Oak a number of years ago for Mark Bolam. Noone wanted the Oak and it was pretty brown. It went for firewood in the end...

    My mate was from HK. He went to visit his bro in Tokyo, grabbed a load of the stickers and saved that one specially for me. I had it stuck to my petal for w while but it wasn't a good connection.

    Paul, I am not too far from Guildford. Sorry but don't know too many companies over that way. If I can do anything to help when you arrive then give me a shout. Take it easy and good luck with the move. Rich.

    What tree is it you are dismantling with the crane?

    Good job mate.

    Nail on the head there Marc. I seem to recall Graeme or Angus explaining the thought process behind that job and that the first time he climbed the tree he only dared to climb so far as it felt unsafe. Went away and planned, planned and planned some more. When he came back he executed the plan and as you can see it went well. He didn't turn up blind and do the the job for a half arsed company who threatened him disciplinary action for coming down the first time.

    I was told exactly the same by an ex VW Motor Technician. Two turbos to provide the towing ability will be the the death of the 2.0l.

    Just got a text back from Mick - His moby is 07758 585805 I wouldn't call him tonight though, wait till the morning or Monday. Hope this helps.
  22. Rich Rule
    I have sent Mick a sms letting him know your request. Hopefully he will get in touch. Sorry but I don't like giving people's mobile numbers out without asking them first. But he used to have his website on his signature. I would have thought his details would be on there.

    Good work James. Still body thrusting I see Are your 'Spansh Archers' not knackered yet?
  24. Rich Rule
    So Ty, how do you work that? Do you mean that if some one approached you for a climber for the day you get a freelancer in take his rate and then add the bits you mentioned on top? I once had a guy do exactly that, except he bartered me down as he said my rate was too high. I accepted at the time only to find out he pimped me out at the same rate I asked for in the first place.

    If it is just small shunts to a higher limb etc then i would probably put into pantin and then advance the bone by hand. More often than not I can't be arsed with that so I just pull myself up on the rope and then tend as though it was a vt on a HC climber system. I know this isn't ergonomical but it is a habit I need to get out of.
