    I think the steam hammer was a boon in the blacksmiths shop, old mate converted one to electric fr forging. God the row when he put cold bar thru it! Flatted it quick tho ? K

    Exactly why i keep some reserve, leave some boot left, Yr man in video looked like he was at the limit speed n power wise. K

    Rubbish. Always works. K

    ...... By speeding up - it pulls it straight. If you slow it gets worse. I dont know the science behind it but I have driven a lot of caravans and trailers. K

    A tool you hardly use, until no other tool will do..... Used my felling lever fr changing tyres fr years ! K

    A higher IQ would have been better still ? K

    @josharb87 was my earlier point , working on banks or uneven ground kills the lads , even a small crane is a godsend - only in Rail you have Overhead line considerations to avoid . Stacking timber in lengths without Manual Handling issues is a big Plus for us as client is always shouting abt it . K

    May just get sorted of the astonishing shithole that is Stonebridge ( 2 miles from Wembley - another astonishing shithole of rank depths ) K

    Hilareous NHS supplier investigates employee's conspiracy video WWW.BBC.CO.UK A video of a health worker who questioned the existence of Covid-19 went viral in conspiracy communities. K ( got to be fifty shades of fuccying stupid darling - good luck on the jobhunt )

    Two huge offices near Stonebridge - empty fr years ( and I do mean big ! ) now getting converted . Developers focused on brownfield sites near Rail stations fr City communters - now no one is using trains ....... Hmmmm . K Actually , for once , fulfilling the recommendations on builders carbon footprint , rework old structures is enviromentally better thaan new builds - It took them two weeks to scaffold , then in with the diamond concrete saws n new windows - 3 months - bet its finished by Christmas - Unlike Grenfell

    Actually it was a bit of a test, the verifier from Kennilworth knew this guy was hopeless, just wanted to see how we handled failing him. Didnt feel good abt doing it but he wasnt safe and would have hurt himself or someone else soon after. K

    He aint gonna be rich from that. But handy cash. K

    Mr @Stubby , buying in wood for processing with a good machine can be easier that sorting thru a lot of old crap . Plus you get wot you want . If yr going over a 100 ton a year , I think it would give a good return . Mostly a good yard manager would have the lads sort the arb logs out n log them up befr knock off time - IF he can flush them out of their hiding spots in the laybyes ..... K

    Go back and take a picture with the light on K

    Really? If an incident were to happen from said activities and you were not trained to use a saw from a bucket/mewp, it would not be a problem? Is why I ask . Yr doing same tension compression cuts with saw from bucket as you do on ground . You pass a Mewp ticket . Yr doing aerial cutting . K
  18. Khriss
    Cheers Paul, my thinking being if yr groundsaw felling competent, with MEWP ticket, then rear handled saw plus silky will give useable aerial work whilst climber is otherwise occupied - against the costing of it all. MEWP tickets are cheaper than climbers tickets. Reiterating I am still no fan of mewps ? K
  19. Khriss
    So Paul, my understanding is if yr stood in a MEWP, yr groundsaw ticket use is acceptable ? ( not top handled ) K
  20. Khriss
    @Jamie Jones a good point, MEWP work is totally different from climbing Arb ( I struggle with mewps ) so would ordinarily not choose them unless a line of street tree lifts or similar. K
  21. Khriss
    Yes ? don't bust it ! Want to see it next time ? K
  22. Khriss
    All of the above, take yr time n think it thru. He wants you safe ( I did fail one guy cos he was a blatant idiot who had not a clue an was on to make up numbers ) k
  23. Khriss
    Mind that bracken ? K
  24. Khriss
    Global Recycling did us a recon 12" Bandit on tracks fr abt 60 grand, was good as new. Bolting on a crane would not be more than nother 20 grand, if one was to enquire. K

    Noooo Oooo ( an I like Green mech ) k
