  1. cheers mozza took about 15 min just to write arbtalk
  2. sorry i cant do any shading silouettes or outlines:blushing:
  3. haha brilliant! bashed their car nice one!
  4. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/employment/18134-experienced-climber-required-cheshire.html from today
  5. aspens great, i would encourage anyone to try it for a few weeks. i used to look at it in the local chainsaw shop and think it was a load of overpriced tosh, i was very wrong! some of us pay £200+ for a pair of chainsaw trousers, wheras a £60 pair do the same job, but we may never cut them with a saw for 10 years. every day for hours on end we expose ourselves to chainsaw emissions, why not limit these emissions by using aspen? as arbtalk member xerses has said on another thread aspen should be considered ppe. im not a scientist, so have to believe aspen is less harmfull than normal petrol (however harmfull that is or is not) but what i have noticed since using aspen, is more energy, no stingy eyes or coughing when cutting large stumps down, and a pleasant smell. try it, then comment:001_smile: every aspen thread this has been the case!
  6. done a fair ammount of removing reverted growth on varigated mapels back in cambridge, and removing normal leafed branches from the biggest cut leaf beech ive ever seen in my village, beautifull tree, can you get cut leaf purple beeches?
  7. Thanks:001_smile: whats rj? Youre just bad what about the odd swastika?
  8. ok, oak seems to be wasted here then! too hot to burn and not a traditional building material. i'll still start asking people as we're either cutting soft woods into rings for them to split or transport takes all wood inc oak to the big mulcher. theres an un explored buisness somewhere along these lines it seems. i still reckon i know of one niche area planking would be a big hit
  9. what sort of mill was it Tobias? an alaskan bolt on to chainsaw type mill, or band saw type? do you reckon swedes would like their trees planked? alot of gardens seem to have sawn timber kicking about or things being built. . . ohh just had a brain wave, there is a market for it and i know where, for sure:biggrin: definatly be bringing the 88 and alaskan over now

  12. not good, feel for you
  13. thankyou! cheers dan! spring is when people want you over here (early to mid april), best start looking december time so you have time for a trial week, ect. arbjobs is youre best bet i reckon cheers rob, heres one for you, a fell from friday, shame i diddnt have an alaskan, i reckon there might be a market for planking timber on site here, especially oak as theres lots of oaks, and swedes think it burns too hot so chuck it:confused1: its minus 20 outside in winter and oak burns too hot:lol:

    do it liam:thumbup:
  21. cool bits of proper work kit tom!
  22. fantastic pics david, thats propper topping on the beech! fantastic field markings too
  23. elm reduction, spec to reduce as much as poss but leaving it looking good, so just done a reduction a-la-josh before after before after and various other after shots its bigger than it looks in the pics, dwarfed the 6 storey buildings around it, some bits over freshly planted garden roped off
  24. to be honest it sounds like a very time consuming way of using an alaskan from my understanding of what you propose, youd have to stabalise the log, set all the legs at diffrnet heights for the mill to be level on rough ground, so any measure on the legs will be no use as each one will be diffrent to have the mill level, youd then need to faf about with bolting the alaskan onto the bar on with the ladder between alaskan rails and bar, then set the depth on the alaskan, taking into account the ladders depth. mill a plank off, reset the 4 legs by the same ammount prob using a tape measure, to lower the jig to mill another plank mill a plank off, reset the legs again mill a plank off reset ect wheras the alaskan,, screw the ladder on, mill, remove ladder, set plank depth, mill, mill mill! sorry for being a pessimist, keep thinking though!
