  1. Really interesting tool David, would be interesting to play with.
  2. I think you can measure bulk density by taking a known volume of soil and then divide it by its dry weight. I think you can dry it in a oven set at 70 with the door open for 8 hours. My girlfriend would definatly frown on this so I have never tried it.
  3. I think they look great. Why not import one. I bought some gaffs and caddy pads from Weespur this year. You pay 20% import tax through parcel force and a £13 handling charge when they arrive.
  4. Really cool, like loads of litle bonsai on shelves.
  5. Is that for reducing the amount of life a tree suports?
  6. Know what it means but not currently interested. I would definatly go for it if I was going to work abroad where the qualifications I have may not be widely recognised.
  7. Its dated rubbish, but if you pm me your email address I might be able to help.
  8. I had a look at the pulley in the Fletcher Stewart stand. The way they had it was set up put the leg of the rope the friction hitch was on closest to you and the eye end behind it. I thought this would be interesting to try. The caribeaner attached to the eye also seemed to assist breaking the hitch when you advanced it. The build was similar to the smaller Isc swing cheek pulley although the sheeve did not seem to spin that freely.
  9. I think there is logic in that. Should work fine. Your cuttings look good. Im going to do a load next month.
  10. They look good. My personal preferance is for quality leather over high tech waterproof linners but that wouldnt stop me trying them if I liked the feel of them. My boots are coming to the end of there life at the moment and I will definatly consider these. Are the vibram units repaceable by a cobbler, and which of the 3 boots are the most rigid. Cheers Will. If you would like a pair reviewed I would be more than happy to oblige
  11. Very cool. I hope no one ever takes it.
  12. Some big tops. He obviously knows what he is doing. The bore and release at the begining was a bit scary but it did what he wanted it to. Lorry we call them side cuts or ears. I think the purpose is to make sure the wood doesnt hang on or tear making the fell more predictable.
  13. Is that for felling or cutting stacks of planks?
  14. [quote name= Tirol fighters rock:rock:[/quote] :rock: I love mine, they are on there 3rd sole.
  15. Yea he is really interesting. My mate has a book of his. I really like the charred wood stuff he does.
  16. Happy birthday, the teners in the post:lol:
  17. Hi Ben, Hope all is well. You might find a chainsaw carver who wants it.
  18. On the ascenders select a sling hat lets you extend your arms fully.
  19. The colour didn't really come out on the scan, its not blue but dark green.
  20. I think its most likely Nordmanniana. The reason I was concerned was because I was writing a brief report stating that the tree was a poor choice for its location and is likely to cause damage to a boundary wall and the house. Its only 1 meter from the house but is less than 10 years old. It would be a bit embarrassing if I said it was going to grow into a massive tree and it turned out to be an Abies species or cultivar that only grew to 10m.
  21. I only have a peice of folliage to go on but I need to ID a yong Abies tree. I think its Abies nordmanniana but I want to make sure its not Abies Koreana or another smaller Abies before I write my report. The needles are 2-3cm long and the foliage dark glossy green. I have included a scan of the peice of foliage but the colour is not a great representation its a much darker green than it apears in the scan. Any e-links to ID guides would be great.
