  1. Any of the sponsors of AT will be able to sell you one. Have you even checked online arb suppliers? Throwlines, throwbags and cubes aren't exactly difficult to come by.
  2. Oh no! The threads turned to anarchy! I love the sunrise. An old tune I hear that takes me back in time, for a moment of memories. My kids.
  3. I did a search on the definition. All it came up with was the meaning in Hindi. Wow, I thought. Eggs is a very learned gent.
  4. You lost me Eggs. What does that word beginning with D mean?
  5. When I was back in the UK, one of the guys I did a lot for asked us to work on a BH. Double bubble, we said yes. His customer had demanded he do it on a BH so he could be there. I asked if he was charging extra but he said there was enough on the job to keep the customer, him and us happy. Fair enough, except... We turned up at the agreed time, and the guy answered the door, saw us into the garden then said have a good day, I am off out for the day as it is a Bank Holiday. There We Are Then. The guy I was working for was stitched up hook line and sinker!
  6. It is very loud but I will see what I can do next time I use it.
  7. I have a ported 660 that spud worked some magic on when he rebuilt it. unfortunately I don't have a standard 660 to compare it with. it does cut great though.
  8. I will be over for the APF Adam. I don't think the AA show will be doable as it is getting pretty busy here in Scandiwegia. Hope life is treating you well mate.
  9. It was touched on before... It is probably really expensive to LOLER a crane. That happens once a year. If they get caught lifting a climber then surely it is classed a PPE and has to be done every six months.?
  10. They do like their rigging... Another nice video. Paul in the Green Protos.
  11. Wooden Hand aka SoftBankHawks. Aka Paul.
  12. I'm a 33-34 ish waste and needed the small one.
  13. Tony is in Norway. I think.
  14. If you type @Gray git he gets a notification.
  15. Had the 660 to the nuts before. we felled a large cherry stem at a school and as a try and get out of moving it I suggested it was carved into a bench. 3 lady teachers and the head master saw me take the handle to the nuts... After I had finished they said it looked crap and could I ring it up and take it way.
  16. Thought so. I worked with him in Norway about 3 years ago. He was chuffed stiff as he had just made it to double figures.
  17. Nice work mate. Did I spy Scott Geddes in the vid? Has he got more that 12 hairs on his chin yet?
  18. Thanks. I don't usually rock that pose. I was trying to give the top a bit of help to clear the rickety shed below.
  19. A couple of tops.
  20. Did you enjoy it? Have you missed it? Nice work.
  21. Very good advice there. Reg has done a heck of a lot more crane work than myself and most others. One point to note, if I might add - you said you were ruined by the end of it. All those face cuts were one extra unnecessary cut and on a tree like that and that weather it all adds up. Especially on the larger pieces and with a bigger saw. The setting did look stunning.
  22. Really, we did a 1 day health and safety course last year. It was called a ROLO course. Call BALI and ask them for the price of a course local to you. It was a damn site more than 32 quid.
