  1. No worries I think you missed my point though. Meant to say, as an arborist I look at the straight down the bar quite a lot.
  2. We dont always do what were supposed to in life and sometimes we pay the consequences. Next time you do 31 in a 30 zone think of the above if you run someone over or have an accident. Not a rant or poke but just something to think about.
  3. Ahh right cool. I just really look at the pics:blushing: I'll go and check it out in a bit more detail.
  4. Ive been waiting 10 years for some of mine but no one has asked for them so I havent bothered chasing them up.
  5. Oh yeah, strapping tight elastic bandages around your torso is supposed to help with support, but never tried it so dont know if it helps.
  6. Will be book marking it for sure. Just a thought I had and was going to mention it in one of your fungi threads but how about a monthly report as such on what fungi can be found at the time, hosts plus possible effects on trees etc. I know your not looking for suggestions like this but thought I best mention it before I forget. Keep up the good work as it is interesting stuff.
  7. LOL yeah thats about all you can do. I did it years ago and tbh it still hurt every now and then for years afterwards, although it probably was because I carried on working and didnt rest like I was told. So I recommend a rest for at least a week or 2 if you can that is!
  8. Sad news indeed. Must be terrifying for the friends and family of the victims.Thoughts go out to them all. Pity it looks like he killed himself, also a pity we dont hang draw and quarter such people anymore.
  9. Its called cutting the ears off and I use it loads even on small stuff that has stringy bark. It stops it tearing and either pulling your strop down if tied in or hanging on and dropping on whatever you were trying to gob it away from. Good on willow,lime,elm,oak ,etc.
  10. OUCH! Hope he's allright with no lasting problems from that!
  11. That wont be easy to clip in one handed!
  12. Now that is very underhanded. I dont believe that anyone has a right to any work ie on my patch, thats an old customer of mine etc but that is nicking work that I wouldnt be happy about.
  13. Looks like a Mimosa tree, from Africa. Thats all I know, and it may be wrong!
  14. Ah well it makes me want to buy the book to see what all the fuss is about.
  15. The one you made looked fairly good to me.
  16. Looks well neat and tidy:thumbup1:
  17. I think its to do with the danger of the job. It's not like anyone can just go and unblock a sink now is it:001_rolleyes: Plus what if he didnt do it right, there could be water all over the floor and everthing!
  18. Stupid comment by me I thought they had a pulling line on it and it was the tension in that that caused the single tree to pull over. Dunno how I miss heard that though!
  19. What was he using to pull that over, a D9??
  20. You dont say! That one in your avatar has a whopper of a bar on it:thumbup1: What size? Sounds like a good relationship youve built up there.
  21. Real men couldnt give a ****.(damn)
  22. I think they want to try it out on a big chain on a big saw. Unless they did and blah sayed past it I mean in a professional market its probably not worth it on a small saw/chain but could be on the 066/088 it could be.
  23. Heres the take down [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8hHNeXlNcI]YouTube - Hazzardous Pine Removal May 25 2010[/ame] BTW, theres no way I could of climbed that since there were no pegs to stand on:thumbdown:
  24. I think you need a dust mask that has a vent flap thing. It stops the warm breath fogging up your glasses.
  25. Yes you did but the pics havent uploaded yet:confused1:
