Rich Rule

Cheers mate, much appreciated.

Paul, this was posted in the Milling forum, I started another thread, thought you might get a bite. I hope you don't mind me posting it here Rob. Cheers Rich. Hi Rich, Sorry just spotted this thread-Your mate is just a few miles from me, I'm pretty busy with work at the moment and I'm not a milling pro by any means but I can probably help him out- you can give him my number- 01825 872 495/07542603620 Rob

I know that someone recommended you in the other thread. Just trying to bump it to see if anyone else is out there. And yes I am impatient, the PM hasnt arrived yet.!!! Edit, PM arrived, your a goodun!

There was a thread in the climbers talk about the Crestas so a bargain could be had. I am sure you'll like them though mate.

Bump. Anyone interested? Someone must be able to help.

There are people out there begging for work, hard times and all that. I guess no one in that area wants work.

I actually ordered a pair from the outdoor warehouse only to have him email me the next day - not in my size. I ended up speaking to the uk importer and asked who had the last batch of them. It was a company in Windermere. Saved myself over 50 quid as they were knocking them out for 145 plus p&p.

Pretty well mate. I don't wear them everyday to climb in by have done a few large rj's in them and grippy is a word I'd use. John Shutler has had a pair for quite a while and would be better to comment on the longevity. Where did you get them from?

I don't think you be disappointed mate with the crestas. They are snug but get conifer every day. My only gripe is that the ankle is a bit lower than my airstreams which aids movement. In my case I had a bit of a fall and damaged the ligaments in my left ankle about 7-8 months ago. It's getting better but still aches a bit pruning in these boots. Especially after a long day.

An old friend of mine needs a hand milling some Beech stems in East Sussex. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/49959-alaskan-mill-reqd-east-sussex-cut-table-top.html Can anyone help pls?

Alright Paul, hopefully someone will get back to you. Catch you soon, good luck.

Will the outfit you work for allow that? Makes sense if they do and makes you more marketable. Good luck with the search for a course.

Where the pics then..? Haha!

Quality little bridge.

Ross go into setting on iPhone. There is a privacy menu. Click photos and then make sure tap stalk is turned on.

If your for real, then I will see you at your yard next time it is about to rain... If you are takin' the pi55, I wouldn't have been working for you anyway.

I think it can work both ways. These days I only work for people who I respect and know they wont extract the urine. As I said it works both ways, I never ask what a job is the day before. Sometimes the job spec is unworkable in the weather conditions. If alternative work can be organised then alls good, if not and they decide to call it off they usually offer petrol money or sometimes I just say don't worry, I wont charge you and go home. I'd love to be able bill them for the missed days work (but I don't) but it wouldn't prove much. Someone else said if you cannot afford to have a day off here or there then you need to wind your lifestyle in or charge more. Some guys have paid me for the days regardless, which is nice. On the other hand, I have turned up to jobs and have had a horrendous night with the kids. (One is 5 and the other 18 months) waking up 4-5 times with a screaming bairn isn't gonna help much the day after. Most understand and quite often offer the chance for other work or to go home. Depending on the situation I may take them up on it or just crack on... usually dependant on how important the job is. As I said it works both ways. I climb and people pay me good money, in return I earn them good money. It is a partnership I enjoy on the most part. I would like to add though, I rarely, if ever do work for people who take the pi55. If they do then I only work for them once or twice. Luckily I have been freelancing for quite sometime now and am able to choose who I work for.

I dismantled a sugar maple in the summer. The guy I climbed for wanted it in as big a lumps as possible. He hired a Manitou to get the sticks on the back of the 7.5 tonner. He did two trips with timber alone. Not quite sure what he was to do with it but they were in a right mess after they were skidded out. As was the customers garden.

I dont think you have ever been able to post direct from an Ipad or Iphone without Tapatalk. I have never been able in the past. Nice shots though David.

To a tight ersed Northerner that is like a second mortgage!

TDS correctly and no not should come undone until it is time to do so. For the record I use a splice. I do use a scaffold or single fishermans to hold and orientate the krab in the correct position on rigging lines.

Do you not think the spikes were on there as he might have had to spike the tree..? There was a small gopro or similar on the trunk. As the tree didnt go down all too well they didnt used much of the footage. When they dragged the sucker out it was plain to see. Maybe there was a simple explanation for the spikes.

On the self employed front, can you not do an additional module that incorporates saw use and that should suffice as refresher training? You have to pay, so might as well get something out of it. For example if you haven't done cs41 as a climber then it incorporates all the other climbing and aerial cutting aspects. Plus you get to charge more on your day rate.

He ain't got time to take pics..! Clearup to do, dollars to earn!

Does your pantin not fit on the outside of your spikes?
