Blue stain. Not ruined just stained:thumbup:

anyone else having to squint to focus. Or am i the only drunked on tonight.

moisture content very low here, she's gone to bed and i aint gonna get me leg over.

Well what do you expect starting a thread like this on a friday night:lol:

Well I for one will be going to hell ive heard thats where all the best parties are held. Anyone care to join me:lol:

I would just concentrate on getting one cut right and then move on. If you dont feel ready to go forward for assessment then dont, your under no obligation to do the assessment until your ready. Too many candidates are put forward for assessment at the end of a course regardless of whether they are ready or not. Four days training is no time to learn so dont beat yourself up.

Try a 60 degree sink cut you will see the bar easier when formimng the hinge and rember to operate the throtle with your thumb this will help gain level back cuts.

All the best dave.

I've been shot once, peppered twice and nearly killed at point blank once.

 

Still love shooting and think it's ultra safe compared to driving

I nearly got shot once:sneaky2:

Slipped on some ice outside my garage last night, landed on my right hip and can barely walk now, just badly bruised i think but it bloody hurts.

I'm now sat in the high seat waiting to shoot a foxy loxy no lamp just using the power of the moon.

I will let you know how I get on.

Well im going foxing with my wee dogs in the morning. And im doing it cos i enjoy it so to all you non believers:thefinger:

But now im going out with the rifle so you can abuse me all you want.

If it was a Landrover it would be stuck and broken down:lol:

No. At the first sign of a frost it would,nt have started.

well obviously if you went in the van it would be a nightmare and dangerous, but if you went in a well shod landrover it would be as simple as a school run in summer:001_smile:

Your avin a laugh:lol:

Shouldn’t be slagging the Stig off though....

Come on John its all tounge in cheek. And it was funny:lol:

you'll hurt yourself carrying on like that:sneaky2:

been slow here too, started good then began to slow. Seems better now:thumbup1:

Please correct me if im wrong but university's/students are heavily subsidised by the tax payer.

But how many people do you know that go to uni get a degree and then end up in a call center and never re-pay there loans due to earning below the re-payable threshhold. just a thought.

I certainly know a few my best mate being one.

This is my opinion to student fees due to recent events.

I believe that everyone is entitled to free education upto the age of 18, so this would include upto school leaving age plus 2 years to take A levels or further education. For those who do not wish to take further education then an apprentice system should be made available were apropriate for 2 years. For those who wish then to go onto university I believe it should be self funded. My reasons for this are, if I want to invest in my buisness I have to borrow or earn to do so, this is calculated on the fact that it will be a good investment and that it will pay dividends. So if students feel that university would be a good investment for there financial future they should take the same risks and either borrow or earn the money to do so, this being a calculated investment.

I know that there needs to be exceptions for some people, but these would need to be addresed on an idividual basis but for the majority I stand by what I think.

Im not going to get into discusion about my beliefs, just wondered what other peoples feelings were.

I fell so close to the ground no need to flush cut. And if i cant get it close to the ground i tell the customer to stick a plant pot on it:001_tt2:

I do that all the time that's how I was taught ,better safe than sorry surely !!! I am totally with mark I liked watching it ....it was kinda like a French John Wayne on spikes movie the more I watch it the better it gets... I'm gonna learn to windmill my 395 like that I reckons I will look super tough and any chicks watching will be spellbound by my special skills !!

If the section was allowed to run 3-4 feet he needn't have moved. I don't disagree with you though there are times when it is good to re position, i just don't think it was necessary to have moved on this occasion:thumbup1:

there are many times when it just isn't good to make the gob down low in the trunk flare.. whether its rot present down low, or just a tight drop zone or some side lean or whatever. The spiralling grain that can be present in the trunk flare is nearly useless as holding wood.

 

But good enough to control direction until gravity takes over. Or just pop a few ears in and job done:thumbup:

Stihl chain is fast and efficient until sharpened for the 3rd or 4th time - from there on I find it loses performance (doesn't clear chips as well) and tends to loose teeth.

 

Oregon is slower (cutting performance) but keeps clear and consistent over many sharpens.

 

Nearly all broken chains are caused by worn sprockets, worn and uneven bars, poor chain lubrication or cheap chain and contact with anything that is not wood!

Or bad sharpening ie filing down into tie strap

Or tie strap on the wrong way when made up. Rivet hole beveled on one side to accept rivet.

The second film shows what they call rollotube, something I have used for about two years when dismantling big chunks. Mine is homemade and costed me a few quid. Great aid though!

tells a story when the climber feels the need to climb the stem @ 1.58 to be clear of a section. Imo that section should have been allowed to run this to me shows a lack of confidence in both his and his teams ability.

However as promo vid to potential customers, i think it would do just the job.

As a instructional video it would be filed alongside dadios too much bs:thumbdown:

I once bought our lass a pair of wellies:thumbup: didn't go down well:thumbdown: However i was ahead of the game cos now hunters are in fashion. Im thinking riggers this year:lol:

I do know that Bob bought his missus a single wiper blade once:lol:

See absolutly no point of this cut on any of the trees you felled!! Simple felling tecnique would have done with maybe the aid of a wedge.

Why add extra wieght to the pull rope buy having to break the step?

What effect on the fell does this make once the seps released?

:confused1:
