    My thoughts exactly. I know beaver plant from York had Bosch cos I got a pack of 10 a while ago. They do mail order but not Internet orders. Mine haven't been a problem like the ngk since I swapped.

    Cheers pete. Job was in longwood

    Yes it's just a sling. I love it. You can just pull whole arm loads of rope through when ascending and get up pretty quick and easy. For branch walking it's sometimes easier to clip direct to lockjack so it's easily in reach.

    As opposed to thumbs wrapped securely round the handles!! Cheers, glad it wasn't slated and glad it wasn't boring. It's difficult when editing to decide how much of each bit to keep. Looking forward to doing the next one now.

    Top of the chipper, lifting point. The height of the fence and the space we had was only just enough so that the branches would pass the fence so height for the anchor point was essential.
  6. T14EES T14UNK
    Yes, another good point. Right thumb is throttling I think. Is that so bad though. Thinking about it, I bet I do it a fair bit.
  7. T14EES T14UNK
    Yeah why. is there a fundamental floor? whoops. Also, Tim Craig. Just looked back at the vid. Mmmm... thumb not quite hovering over the switch. I get your point. I know I do it. I know even more now. Cheers.

    Tensioned off chipper. Dont know if its right or wrong but it works a treat. where else do you want the branches to land?
  9. T14EES T14UNK
    Thumbs... I know. I do tend to use it for switching off saw so it tends to hover. I do actually consiously try to stop myself...sometimes. As for the poker chips, left side of that fence was steep ish but scattered with wire, steel posts and general chain phobias. I find it easier to just lob it down whilst the rest of the job gets tidied up. After all, the saw dust went into no mans land.

    traintogain.co.uk I think it was something like that. Its a bit long winded and I think it might need to be through an employer but not sure. They wouldnt just provide the basics ie. cs 30/31/38/39 etc but would do it if you were doing an apprenticeship over 6 months to a year or some thing on those lines. There was alot more to it than just certificates though. But the lad I was trying to get trained up didnt want to go through 'a whole year of it' and wanted to jump in. Needless to say, I havent let him yet!

    Thanks for the nice comments. Thought I might get a bit of stick... suppose theres still time! Reason why it wasnt just chucked down left side was cos it defo needed lowering at least half of it and it was supprisingly further from fence than it looks and over freshly painted shed/wendy house thing. Also, that fence is about 12 foot high when you are on the bad side of it, I thought about it long and hard. Decided that just lumping the drums over the fence would be acceptable. And speedlining it was easier...and so much more interesting..and as it turned out, alot quicker. Camera used was the POV 1 from dogcamsports. As far as I am aware I got it before they did the wide angle lens and cant part with another £70-80 right now. Cheers for watching. Makes me want to do another ASAP now.

    Hope this works ok. not too sure about the quality but hopefully its adequate. Its my first one and am only experimenting so wait for your 'opinions'.... [ame]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=28B3-HOUzjo[/ame]

    Cheers for that. Good bit of software I never knew I had. I dont think my production skills are up to much though. As for my tree work, well, I suppose I'll just have to take the criticism as it comes. Hopefully constructive that is.

    Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the shop where I bought it? This is very serious. Is it a warranty issue or not:confused1:
  16. T14EES T14UNK
    I will have eventually. My cd drive has been busted for ages and never got round to getting fixed and couldnt download the editing software for the POV from the internet, so the vid would be very boring. So I havent recorded that much yet. Got an external drive now so will be trying soon. Then you can all have a laugh!!
  17. T14EES T14UNK
    check out the name on the plane too!
  18. T14EES T14UNK
    Oh yes, the POV is definitely good. Ive got one. Just wish it didnt munch batteries so much
  19. T14EES T14UNK
    Sorry to change subject... Just in case you haven't seen these http://www.oregonscientific.co.uk/prod_atc5k_digital_action_camera.htm before you buy a POV. I havent used one so no idea how good they are but looks like there is no wire and box to lug around. And not that much money considering.

    Its a garden, with a kiddies swing hanging off a branch. And they paid me.
  22. T14EES T14UNK
    What a wonderful tree to do on a wonderful Friday. Just dead wooding so a thoroughly enjoyable morning swinging around with just a silky (apart from 2 cuts). Makes you realise its great to be paid to do this sometimes. Don't you just love winter when its like this.
  23. T14EES T14UNK
    Nice job dean. I like the way you've left the bit of epicormic on the left. With a little time that'll fill out nicely.

Werent hatters mad from arsenic poisoning? Perhaps you burnt lots of laurel, I think that contains arsenic. Yes, it was the arsenic that drove them mad I was being figurative rather than literal. I thought it was cyanide compounds in Laurel. As for the laburnum, I heard that the very fine dust could be carsenogenic. Best use a sharp saw!!

    Any pics of the 4x4 transit? And what condition and mileage etc? Cheers
