I like the rubber idea as it will have memory. I need to do another as I knocked one I made and knocked up another quickly a forgot to insert anything... Doh!
-
Where do you get the bungee cord from mate?
-
Margate?
-
Great stuff. I know how nervous he must have been. I have just jumped of my sofa onto a shoe box. Must admit I was bricking it!
-
Well done mate.
-
Never thought of twisting the hitch. Or you could tie the hitch in the way I described and it is usually hunky dorry.
-
The swivel will not solve the twisting, only make it worse. Adam, for the vt try tying the hitch having the first wrap as it comes down to form the braid. Instead of tieing it over the top put it under the braid and then under on the next wrap etc. I find it solved the twisting issue from the hitch.

I still have that knife sent out by lee. Haha. -
One of the guys I work a bit with has one but doesn't use it. He has gone back to his steel flipline for everyday work as he doesn't want to damage 150 quids worth of kit. Why bother buying it if your not gonna use it.
-
So how do you trim your rope and seal it? Holding a lighter to singe a loose braid is not going to do that much damage to the structural integrity of the rope IMO.
-
May well do the same Carl. I have a couple of the petzl bits and then some spare shrink wrap. I would have thought that would keep it taught enough.

Not a bad job, but if I am to be critical. I think he needs to get out a bit further and thin and take less out of the middle. The limbs over the chimney look a bit lion tailed to me. My first boss would have given me a bollocking for that and mad me step over a few and trim the end. I haven't seen the job and maybe there was a lack of growth points closer into the stem hence the finished look. Because I havent seen it and your customer is happy then i'll say good job. My lions tail comments are based on the photo's alone.

You based in Stokesley mate? Most of my Family are from Gt. Ayton.

I thought they were asking for ruffty tuffty buff tree surgeons...

Mark my flip line has swivel and three way krab as standard. http://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/products-page/climbing-equipment/lanyards-fliplines-strops/yale-steel-core-flip-line-3m-with-twister/

Backcut and running shoes. I am obviously joking.
-
Sorry cousin.
-
Just melt the end with a lighter. It should be ok. I have had ropes pass Loler with worse.

I know quite a few of the early fellas who trained with Toddy and Master A in Manchester during the eighties. What was your mates name Liam?

Good stuff... Kieran has put on a number of events at the O2. They are showing all three shows, 1 a week, so get Grace to put a series record on the go.
-
Robert, If you can check out the link for the show on Sky tonight 9.30pm. The series is organised by Kieran Keddle... Alan's bro, (but they fell out a long time back) He is an ex World Champ and now promotes, trains and keeps trying to have comeback fights. The 18 y/old girl - Iman, is supposed to be the real deal. Not seen many of her fights but apparently she is impressing everyone and still only 18!
-
Check out the Explosion fight Series on Sky tonight. Action from the O2 Arena a couple of months ago. The event has some great fighters on the card and look out for Iman Barlow. She is only 19 and already has a number of world titles. Sky Channel 219 (I think) My Channel. 9.30pm

Here is another one. Buakhaw vs Dhzabar. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThAQylmofYs&feature=g-vrec]Buakaw Por Pramuk vs Dzhabar Askerov @ Yokkao Extreme 2012 Full-HD - YouTube[/ame]

Yeah Dekker was a legend! That Dutch knee master looked juiced to the max! Not surprised he is banned from UFC. Something a wee bit different... Thailand vs Myanmar (Burma) 2011 celebrations. Burmese boxing is similar to MT, but with an added twist. if a fighter gets KO'd his seconds have to revive him for the second bout. I think a boxer fights 3 rounds and it is automatically a draw if no one is knocked out in the last round. No gloves, just wraps, Headbutts aloud!

I'm told this tree is safe...

It's knackered, make it safe and then leave it be. Exactly as Tom said.
