  1. I generally use the file handle to de-take the excess chrome off, sorry cannot spell de burr either.
  2. Might try the golf ball handle tip. Cheers, Paul. I also use a Maccy "d"s straw as a cover for the files. Stops them rubbing together and dulling.
  3. Or just use a hand file.
  4. Congratulations. Now the fun begins!
  5. My good news is I have a day off tomorrow. Had a day on a golf course today doing a variety of work. Last job was to clean up about 5 leaders that were left on a large beech tree. The rest of the tree was on the deck, peeled off due to it being well knackered. Knocked off some large bits, BOOM. Left it about 50 odd foot monolith. A good buzz and a few puckered arsehole moments but all done. Now day off tomorrow as it is my birthday.
  6. Regardless of the physics of the matter. Once the cutter is hardened due to stone or a grinder it will be extremely difficult to put an edge on it with a hand file...
  7. Start to worry if jobs you have applied and permissions granted for works are viewable over the internet. The was a company around here who used to knock on jobs where planning permission had been applied and granted. They wood turn up saying .... had sent them and could they crack on.
  8. Sorry Carl, you lost me there?
  9. I thought the signs were there so some knucklehead wouldn't damage the baggage rack with their swede.
  10. My mate stupidly had his foot on a log cross cutting. His 441 skidded across the log went straight through his boots and toes. Doing tendons and soft tissue damage and resulted in about 6 weeks off work. So much for chainsaw protection. Simple thing is don't cut near your feet or at least be aware of the forces that are going on around the chain, bar, wood etc.
  11. Ahh, cheers Peter. Is that why the one in John's pic has a red braid in it whereas the the 8mm doesn't?
  12. is that beeline john? I thought beeline had a locking brummel splice on the core and then you dipped it in something to keep together. What splice is that, DB?
  13. lonelier..? What sort of word is that?
  14. Haha... Loving the last shot. A moment the travelling Arb had had enough...
  15. I never ask if there is a tpo on such and such tree... you are inviting a visit from the tree officer to said premises. I ask if there are any planning constraints at the property. If not, then crack on and get it done.
  16. Spoke to Nod and he has limited sizes. I picked up a pair from a shop in Windermere. Should be here Friday.
  17. Thanks for your informative post.
  18. Maybe he has just got bored of the whole affair? If he won this latest round of accusations, the governing body et al will find further accusations that he will have to disprove. He won 7 titles and will always be remembered for that. To those that say he was taking performance enhancers of some form or another, also say it was rife and everyone was doing it at that time...? If that was the case, he did win le Tour whilst doing battle on a level playing field.
  19. Nice one Paul. It was good to work with you yesterday. Not the easiest of drags to the chipper, but it all came together in the end.
  20. Haha, nice one Mick. Cheers for your help Paul, hope you got back ok.
  21. Found a few of these on the ground whilst clearing up a fallen limb on an oak in SE London. Didn't see any of the large clusters but they look similar to the pics google images threw up. Cheers.
  22. I use one with blaze (11mm) and it is sweet. I have been told though that you aren't supposed to use it commercially when I had my kit checked for one of the 3atc comps.
  23. I have been looking for none ppe boots for a while now. Nearly bought the La SPortiva from Honey's a couple of weeks ago. These do look good though. Scarpa Mens Ascent Tech GTX Shoe
  24. Bit like the pot calling the kettle black that mate.
