Cheers for the info. I just use a piece of old climbing line that usually has a nice splice in one end(due to nicking the thing with a saw:001_rolleyes:) and bowline on the other, 2 krabs and thats it. I know there are plenty of other fancy ways using small strops and clips but Ive never can be bothered to try them out:laugh1: I usually have the strop long enough so a can reach all the way to my left holding the saw in my left hand(attached to right hand side of harness).So the strop is fairly longish. The way I work I couldnt really ever have the saw not attached as it wouldnt last very long!

Well done:thumbup1: Sounds like an awful lot of questions to use a basic machine though. IIRC all we had to do was a bit of a practical.
-
That looked nasty!! Good to see it helped then:thumbup1: Not that Ill be relying on it though!
-
Nice1 for posting that up. Not the type of experience I think anyone should have though! In that i mean learning from ones mistakes etc. Apart from other stuff mentioned it looks like the back cut was also too low to me. Glad he just got a nasty freight and nothing more.
-
Do you think the blocking material did anything or was it just the thickness of the leather? Good to see no injury.
-
How do you get it that low?
-
I liked that. Pity about missing the money shot though! Just one question, why no strop on the 020 in the bucket?
-
How do you cost after hours work, emergency work costings?

At least treble time. The minimum would depend quite a bit on how much you also have to pay the other crew member/s. I know for a fact I wouldnt be going out for less than a full days pay even if it was only a 10 minute job and I wouldnt expect anyone else to not get the same. -
Yeah no worries:thumbup1: Just dont shorten it to poooop, I hate that.

Losing weight is easy this time of year. Just watch "I'm a celebrity" and eat what the contestants do, they all loose about 3 stone in as many weeks! Although it could be difficult to get a bit of kangaroo knob up your ways but I'm sure you can improvise. Funnily enough though I was thinking the same(not you getting fat but me also) Seem to have piled the weight on in the last 12 months or so and do start to feel 'slow' and bloated. Although being a fatty we can find loads of excuses to blame it all on, its allowed.
-
For the customer YEAH! Not for you though! Well not unless your going to gob it at the bottom and leave.
-
Quite possibly. I have climbed trees like this before but they have been stable enough and I have propped them up a bit even if it was with just some ladders to take the weight a little. If it does go though while your up there, well being pinned between that and a greenhouse wont be much fun. Its going to be very awkward though if theres a green house right underneath chogging it down, and is it worth taking the risk of climbing and still flattening the green house?
-
Why should we use our real name? Besides how many signed up with a different user name then changed it later on to their real name? Anyway since I'm from the planet Zeiste no one can pronounce my real name of Xylszzisiaaooxthyolpooooop 'the third'

You could end up with a few more windows on that side of the building! If your going to do that I wouldnt bother with the MEWP and just try to winch it off sideways with a gob in the base, maybe.
-
Me either, well I wouldnt like anyone to be in that position tbh. Its just my guess that they probably didnt need it just thought they could take it. Anyway there are tax credits to help these people out.
-
Some people are just desperate to steal anything they think they can get away with unfortunately. I doubt they were cold and hungry Oliver Twist style street urchins. Could be wrong though and thats why they couldnt afford to insure/tax/mot their motor. Which to me is more of a crime then nicking wood.

What country do you live in because I want to emigrate there. Only jk Top result.
-
Nice interesting job. Does get the adrenalin going when you have to think about nearly every move! So what type of tree was it?
-
I was going to say you must be quick but at you age, NARRRRR, you just need to improve swapping the chain. You should have a look at this then, I reckon it will be right up your alley. Seriously though I think Mr Bullman has it sorted. IIRC he can manage 6 months out of an 020 chain! The tight git!
-
Despise these type of people with a passion. Con artists. Came across it quite a few times when called out to price up stumps.

£300 fine or £180 if paid within ten days.

Go on then I dare you to take them on. -
Power the phone off them back on. Should sort it out. Orange seem to do a good job of sending the latest high tech phones back to the dark ages!

Damned if you do and damned if you dont! Thanks for the heads up. At least I know what to act dumb on if they pull us over. -
Good job I wasnt in charge of 'the war' or we would all be wearig silly little moustaches. Aye its amazing what people "can do" when theres a cost involved. 9 out of 10 for effort but a big minus 6 billion for hacking an LA tree to bits though!
-
Is that how we won the war? Tying ladders to a tree so Jerry couldn't use them to sneak into our homes when we were out? I thought the Gemans were more cunning tbh. Maybe they invented the MEWP just too late! Oh back on track, nice work Sihart100:thumbup1: Did you charge for the job or just do it for the brash?
