We were clearly roadside saplings for junction sightlines last week and within the same clump growing off the same stump some were like this and some were perfectly healthy with not a mark on them

Thanks again Paul, I've forwarded that on to a couple of our country estate clients who have there own lads doing bits of felling still, I'll be interested once you've got the aerial guide together as I'll work it into a toolbox talk for my lads and subbies and unashamedly use the info towards marketing ourselves with having our own mewps to deal with the problem trees.

Thanks Paul That's about the best put together report I have seen, definitely something more local authority management need to be looking at as far to many are covering there ears pretending it's not a problem and it'll sort itself out without impacting on the budgets. Sadly I can't see this being the case as I just have to look up as I drive many roads around us to see a problem unfolding. Now what we need is a best practice guide to working on these trees safely for both professionals within the industry and Landowners as a highways officer I spoke to admitted they were going to try and push landowners to deal with dead trees themselves which I predict will lead to problems and sadly deaths from farmers taking on something they are under equipped and inexperienced in doing. I've already lost one friend to a tree this year and certainly don't want to hear of any more.

Has anyone got a link to a good guide to identify and management of trees with Ash die back on roadside, I'm finding a lot of contradiction in articles, some are saying remove some say leave to see what happens but one of our clients wants to formulate a bit of a management plan.

Just changed to McClarrons Ltd 11 King St, Richmond DL10 4HR McClarrons Ltd - Google Search G.CO For our fleet insurance which has saved me nearly a grand on having everything separated and apart from the cherrypicker everything is any UK driver with no disclosure apart from drink drive offences or over 9 points also added the digger to it as gives road risk as works on highway and one of our clients insisted on it but actually cheaper than it being on the plant policy. Worth a call, ask for Stuart savage.

Don't know why but pictures won't attach properly Pinterest PIN.IT Discover recipes, home ideas, style inspiration and other ideas to try. Preserve the Beauty of Raw or Rusted Steel & Iron Surfaces PIN.IT Preserve the Beauty of Raw or Rusted Steel & Iron Surfaces: I see many ibles made with black pipe here but rarely do they mention any coatings to prevent rusting. I also often build with rusty items where I need to cover the rust so it won't rub of on clothes etc. but don't want to lose the beauty of the p...

That'd be brilliant, never had anything to do with resin yet so planning on doing some research into it so any advice welcome. Going to make brackets like this to hold it and towel hanger to match.

Not quite a wooden sink but just milled this out a big lump of ash I've had sat in the yard for about 5 years for a sink to sit on as a floating shelf in our new bathroom, going to fill all the little holes with a blue resin then put some sort of seal over to protect it, not sure what yet.

Well did it survive the end of the week?

Before she went off travelling the young girl who worked for me tryed the simarghu but found due to being narrow hipped as well it slid down a lot so got the petzl 0 which was fine over winter with some extra clothing but come summer and less clothing started to hurt her, treekit had a turfalburger harness which was similar but simpler than the tree motion which realy fitted her well and had plenty of gear loops and good buckles so might be worth looking at.

Paint it and can instantly look a whole lot better, built a ply box as a temp job on one of our vans and over a year later is still on as works absalutlely fine and still looks almost respectable, that and I haven't had time to build a ally one. [emoji57]

A very rare tpo reduction for us yesterday or should I say 1st part for staged retrenchment if this old veteran that's starting to fall apart due to being lion tailed heavily about 5 years ago.

Yeh it is but the crane just lifts off as can be 3pl mounted which you could use the mounting points for your truck and either flog the trailer for a few grand or keep it and drop the crane back on to pull with a tractor should the job require

Hywel Evans has a 360tl for sale at moment, had one before for feeding a chipper and was a very capable crane.

Lovely early morning call out to clear this road, thankfully the bandit winch made it a lot easier!

Manpa angle grinder wood carving tools coming soon...
Gray git replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsawbars
Quite fancy one of the round ones for bole carving as looks like it could be smooth to use compared with my current arbortec. I like the 'relatively safe' as a positive promotion point on the blue ones -
Almost my conclusion of it Don, amazingly smooth saw and excelleration but felt 'soft' compared to the 462 and definitely not as strong as a 572, for a heavy snedding saw or powerful up a tree saw but for felling I'm not sure on how long it would survive

Definitely, someone has to feed the blokes at lunchtime [emoji39] Only joking, my little arb girl would hurt me for saying that, some fantastic female arborists showing how it's done now.

The butterfly harness in about 2001, 1st light Rock climbing style harness away from the willens t22 nappy. Rigging bollards and brade on brade rigging ropes, more control and safer than 3 strand and wrap around the trunk in the late 90s The hitch climber system which started the revolution away from the prussic and blakes and onto the mechanical friction devices. Fully agree with the trouser thing mentioned, stihl knee flex, torture! Same with boots going from the stihl with the tractor tread soals or origon green boots.

Eventually gone hilux after many years of landrover, tows beautiful with the uprated airbag helpers on the rear and plenty of extras that would have cost a fortune when new.

Yes I've had two and the quadchip was by far the best of them for performance against size, very cheap to run and maintain, blades took some serious abuse and for the price of new was hardly worth sharpening them but now gm have a jig available for home sharpening it's even better. The turntable was brilliant for domestic works as you could always point it to where the brash was coming from and good on roadside as could easily keep staff on the pavement/verge. I'd have a word with John about some finance as borrowing money in reality is cheap at the moment. The problem with cheaper small machines is they are high hrs and lots of use so most likely be at the point wher more money is needed to keep them efficient and if its your primary machine can easily become a headache, I know I've been there!
