Works not slow Tony, I just work 24hrs a day seven days a week Bob, I spent hours on it bit at a time with a file as a scraper and an air scabbler which is one of those with loads of needles. Spent hours on preperation and minutes spraying

Landrover was not happy today, didn't seem her usual self, so I diagnosed a little fatigue and treatment prescribed was a large dose of waxoil. Spent hours scraping, wire brushing and power washing, chassis is in good nick Back is going to be redone at some point soon, it is six years old and falling to bits rust wise, very poor powder coat job.

Thats class Simon We did the same with a fox and used to walk it like a dog on the lead, got some right looks, but the call of the wild was too strong and eventually it went off into the wood one day and never came back

Theres cheap knuckles and there's dear knuckles, the professional knuckles are black the diy are silver, I forget which make it is, but if they are black coloured they are strong. Again, buy cheap buy twice

Come on Dave, can't do that !! My street cred will take a nose dive, I've got an image to keep up mate

I think they were around £200, a lot of money I know and even I winched handing it over, but the quality is outstanding, really solid stable ladders, you really do feel safe on them they are that good. For hedges they are really good, but like I mentioned, they are heavy but that comes with using thick aluminium to make them solid. You can even buy leg extenders for leveling up on a side slope
-
In that case tell her I'm a perfectionist and even good is not good enough
-
The stitching on that trouser patch is crap also
-
Thats some pair of high heals Rupe

Bobs your man for splicing Tachyon he did an awesome job of mine a few times now, that looks absolutely crap Rich

Awesome Tom Hand rearing 5 finch that fell out of a hollow in a tree we felled last week, they are doing well and should be ready for their venture into the big bad world in a few days

I have the six rung version of these which are the most awesomist but heaviest ladders available, some many combinations and will setup on a slope and or flat against the hedge You can even stand up straight on the very top rung with confidence they are that sturdy, the sturdiest ladders known to man Promaster Telescopic Combination Ladder - Combination Ladders by ABRU

Or 3ft sections if you get the 3 rung

Ooops, sorry Dad ! On the topic of whipping...........the splice I did the other week ? I didn't lockstitch it and thought I'd test it to the max. I have been using it as a lower rope and loading the eye something chronic, dropped some really big branches off on it and the eye hasn't moved even one thread I'd climb on it with no lock stitch mo worries
-
Thats the same set I'm thinking ofd getting sold under the Abru brand name, at the moment I have the six rung little giant ladder system which are awesome ladders but very very heavy. I am going to buy some of the abru combis just for the smaller jobs or for putting between conifers as a foot hold
-
Got a picture Rhys
-
Not a critisism Old Snake and I'm no splicer, but I'd have put the whipping a lot nearer to the eye
-
Should've drove the landy out before you put the fence up in the last photo
-
Hahaha I'm glad you changed your mind and put the rear bearing in BEFORE you drove the seal in between vid 1 and 2. I see you paused to think about it at the end of vid 1
-
Yes that gives me a good idea Thanks

What was it exactly that you priced from service metals ? I drew up a cutting list with ali planking but never got round to getting a price.
