It already happens ask the yanks

We sell at £90 for 2 cube metres split not seasoned.

Only 84 voters!! 280 members alone visited today, come on peeps it aint that hard to check a couple of boxes.
-
Nice picture that thanks. I thought the rope passed through the metal eye.
-
I've had a cut with a handsaw, left hand ring finger. It was about 12 years ago so cant remember much about it but wasn't bad enough to require stiches but still left a nasty scar.! There too bleedin dangerous. I'm guessing that a higher percentage of people who use handsaws will have had an accident compared to those who use chainsaws.
-
Do you think it will resprout Looks like a good machine that, how much was the hire if you dont mind me asking?
-
Yep theres even one company around here who uses that as there slogan
-
Can we please not turn this thread into an argument over one handed chainsaw use.
-
Why whats the big prob with them?
-
Erm I dont seem to be able to edit my post so can all those who vote please vote on where you had the accident and also with what type of saw . Thanks
-
There are multi choices but maybe I should have put top handle in tree or rear handle in tree in poll I'm guessing most in tree would be with top handle, ah well hopefully a pattern will emerge .
-
I was just wondering how many of us have not only had chainsaw cuts but how they did it. I've had a few in the past but thank god none recently. I hope this poll works:confused1:
-
Lol too true, imagine the fear you would have to suffer trying to work after that.It would be a coincidence that my day rate had gone up to £700 a day while I couldnt work due to my van being compounded
-
Great this isnt it! Mr Ed takes the time to speak to someone from the EA who basically tells us that all tree surgeons WILL need a license then with a bit of searching about others have came up with conflicting evidence in writing Not having a go at anyone here but I think someone from the EA needs to see all of this thread and put some iron clad words on paper. If there is a chance that someone from the EA or the local police can stop me, compound my truck and stop work then wtf are we supposed to do?
-
Ooops Ah well maybe I can ask for a refund on my license then
-
What is the stance on woodchip? Looks like you found a nice valuable piece of info there

Shows what a complete waste of time tpo's and tree officers are. Ok I'm not taring you all with the same brush so please dont take offence but you gotta admit that was a very poor effort by the LA.

I see Monkeyd has had his fracture pruning work aired on BBC1 atm
-
Japanese maple, no good for future work but look nice and stay small. Or a bonsai
-
Cheers for the help and info fellas, I failed to mention that I have already bought one I just wasnt too sure on how to set it up properly. I'll have a mess about with it and I'll look out for what Mark b said about the lead line jumping off. I could allways do some modifications on it since I'm handy with a welder
-
Bits of paper dont mean a thing and time served also doesnt mean a thing. I've seen tree lads (loosly phrased) who have been in the game for 15+ years and still dont know how to do a proper job. I've also seen lads who have had the miniumum amount of training (to get there NPTC) and you can tell that they have the enthusiasm skill and knowledge to be very competent tree surgeons. Like everything it takes time to become a professional but you have to being doing it right from the start.
-
With ease mate. When it happens its that quick you dont really know about it.
-
"microbusinesses" I like that think ill use that word more often I'll have to see if I can give them a bit of input since I think Skyhuck should definately be paying for each and everyone of his trees imagine the about of waste he's producing every year!

I thought i had better get out of the stone age and try out one of those new fangled lowering thingies Although I've used one before subbing, we guessed on which way the rope is supposed to wrap anround and feed through the portawrap. Its this one http://www.abbeypro.co.uk/lowering-hardware/flying-capstan-and-portawraps/showitem-AE150A1.aspx Now although I can use it I would rather be using it properly,so, does anyone have a photo or diagram on how its supposed to be used? I've had a good search about on here and the tinterweb but nowt! Any help please.
