The only thing I do that is any where near skilled is selling tree work to my clients and the public. After that I only deliver what has been sold, thats the easy part.

Hama, could you take a physically fit and keen chap from the job centre, with no academic qualifications or consistant schooling and train him into an arborist, within 5 years with a bit of profffesional input regardign NPTC tickets etc?
-
Hama, who have you got with you to administer the drama kit? Invest in them not the yellow box.

I agree.. When I said earlier about improving work methods and risk assessments, I didn't mean ticking some boxes at the begining of the day, I meant assessing everything you do as you go along. So, when using a large saw up a tree, every single cut must be assessed to check that if it skips or jumps or kicks back it is not goign to cut you, at all, let alone on a major artery. Work postioning can be changed if you are not sure. There is alays a safer way.

Thanks for saying that. I wasn't offended by anything you said, but still its good of you to post this. Cheers!

You can use a quick release lanyard if your are roped in to another tree.. As Graham McMahon demonstrates here.........

Its not shuttleworth, and I don't know who the architect is, I could find out?

Thanks. I feel very lucky! I do some scummy council work too thoug just to even out the balance! Rarely take pictures then though! Yes, same gaff as before. This is at one of the entrance gates.

Yes, stunning day, I think I'm sunburnt! We only got the limbs off it, got the trunk to do tomorrow.
-
Not much showing the rigging aspect so just some nice pics really. Yet another flippin Beech tree removal.
-
Yes? What have I done now?!
-
Those chippers they have are so big they would pull in a child or small wife just like that!
-
They have the rated becket, so are more usable than the petzl fixe, even though we know that the fixe is plenty strond enough on the becket. Tying directly on is a nice feature though!
-
Soundsa about right, I heard it was a lake but same same. Maybe they then forensiced the chipper and found hamas bit of scalp? Then we are all right for a change!! Except it wasn't A plant it was MB hire services. OOOOps!!
-
Great! More legislation to prevent us from making any profit!!
-
I do humour, its best to start with something funny...... Didn't mean to be impolite though, sorry, that was my attempt at humour.
-
Is that how it went? I heard it was a tooth or part of, and that was all that was ever found.
-
Give me your list of courses that you think I would benefit from?? I could do a yoga course to learn how to be more subtle for starters!!
-
Are you really as dumb as you make yourself out to be? Partsfinder does all makes, I only posted a link to the LDV section just to be helpful for our northern friend.
-
Unfortunatly those numbers may inlcude some children helping out Dad in the holidays! They have some brutal chippers over there!! It will also include one well documented disposal of a frozen corpse into a lake. The first case of prosecuted murder without a body in the US I believe?
-
Yeah, not sure how I got roped into that!! I used it for a while and told them what I thought but Mark Bridge had already one a comp or two in one so my input was minimal. Did you cut out the picture and keep it in a special place?
-
Way to go america!!
-
Plenty of fungi there!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I take it you don't mean me!!

Thats it Dean, its just a job, no point getting excited about it. Its good on good days and bad on others, same as any other job but with better views! I wouldn't change it for the world, but I can think of better non working things to do!
