As Ian said go for an rc2001 if you can as it's so much more friendly to use. You could get a pinto rig and a few slings for a redirect and I'd always go for a spliced line if it's an option as makes light notless rigging so much quicker.

No because the tirfor relies on jaws inside to grip the solid cable and pull it through so a rope would just squish up and not work but you could use some as a cable extension so you don't have to carry as much heavy steel rope around.

Sell a few of the small stuff, prob 10 or so a year, not so many large chairs but this was paid for by the gallery as part of another project. Don't really push them as it's something I enjoy and 'having' to do them would probably spoil that. Made a workbench in the same style and could have sold that easy at a demo on Saturday at the gallery

Latest chair for part of a wood themed exhibition at jo cornish gallery in Northallerton.

Greenwood Chair making demo at gallery where I sell a bit. Could have sold the work table a few times, not bad since its conifer and narly offcut of oak.

Dry stone walls possibly?

That blade looks just like the 1 a lad I was helping in the sawmill removed 3 fingers with right next to me when I was an apprentice. Dangerous things if your not paying attention!

Like I said it's tends not to be the big hard technical high price jobs that get me but something silly like having to get cars shifted in order to trim a hedge intime to get to a 2nd job that needs finishing before a particular time to get home to be somewhere ells. Trying to fit too much/many little jobs in is more stressful than a job that iv allowed the time, staff and £ for which seems to play on my subconscious planning brain at night.

Far as I know yes. Think he sold the valtra and botex a while back so you'd need something to load it but worth a call if you've got anough over 8"timber.

Time for a beer

Don't believe that for a moment, your Mrs is a lovely lady, shed never risk good food by checking it at you... A pan or sharp objects maybe but not good food

Was so nice yesterday, all I had to worry about was being in the rite place at 8am with mewp to help on a friends job and today being at the training centre to redo my IPAF ticket, quite relaxing compared to normal.
-
Same, often dismantle the tree 3 times in my sleep before iv got to the job, but it's not always the big nasty dismantle it could be just a job where there lots to remember or do before starting like telling neighbours, getting cars shifted etc that disturbs my sleep. Writing lists help a bit and talking a job through with staff the day before helps the most as I know someone ells knows what's going on so if I forget something hopefully they won't.

He's a good bloke Stephen, harvester driver is a little tapped but a good hand on the machine. Have you seen his bindenberg firewood processor yet Ian? It's huge!
-
Not me anymore, don't do logs. Try landgard woodfuels at Kirkby fletham.
-
Fair doos, I'll take it from you who knows then. Hrs seemed a bit suss to me at 1st at less than a 100hrs a year but if you say it's good then someone will get a good machine at a lump less than a new one.

Tidy but not 12k tidy, maybe 8...

Only time should be if the climber brings more gear to the party imo as it's a team, one cannot function without the other and without cooperation nothing works well.

To me invitation is what earns you more money not having a wallet full of nptc cards, pay my regular lads 80a day all they need to bring is ppe and lunch I provide the rest, if they go above and beyond they get a bonus be it £, breakfast or help getting new stuff. Some people just get 'it' whatever that actually is and without realising it make my days easier or run smoothly so makes me more often by doing the same thing as the next lad but without any drama or just simply quicker like raking up, fueling saws while I talk to the client. As said a good groundsman is very different to someone who turns up and drags brash so is worth more and will get more work.

But it never moved that much in the wind when it was smaller!?!

I put a warrior 1200 on my other 130 and it's proved an excellent winch with the bonus of built in remote control so if your using it to pull a stem over the cutter can be in control from the stump especially handy if out of line of site.
-
Sorry to hear about the situation you've had to deal with, never good. On a positive, what a machine! Saw the vid you put on youtube of it and it looks so handy! Glad your helping out a yungun and passion on some knowledge, speak soon bud
-
Sorry Joel, didn't want to hijack your thred but we have so Is yours a 10 or 12m? Looking a lot better now than it did, a decent set if wheels and treds can transform the look of a landy. That's 1mean winch in the back of that landy! She must have been a linesman's construction vehicle in a former life.
