  1. i'll look foward to the lung and man veg eating photos
  2. mick must hate that, i guess when you too dress up you get all the attention and he's just jeft in the corner as no-one fancies him like a fit birds fat friend welcome mate
  3. at the APF there was some stuff made by makita i think to do just that rob. not sure it was a chainsaw attatchment though
  4. its bloody heavy ian-takes 2 to move it! just used some BIG screws hidden and well countersunk. might try making something like barts with propper wood working joints
  5. well me and my mates plan to get absoutly steaming at the local social club, eat more than our fair share of the hog roast, pester the girls who i either havent yet pestered are new meat, or are only attractive because of their friend beer who i like alot, get no where with them, and stager back to my mates around 5am
  6. we had the same problem, if a door was open or wind in a certain direction, the room would fill with smoke! solved by changing the chimney pot
  7. bloody well hope not
  8. His clients??? so men drive them too?
  9. i like the figures, but it still looks limp wristed
  10. i built and repaired literally hundreds of ATV and foot bridges, by far the best was the mesh niftysteve mentioned, on the ATV bridges we just cut down the middle with a grinder, and stapled them on inline with the wheel tracks, the foot bridges, stapled on to within 6inch of the edge. chicken wire is too loose, not enough volume of grip, frays easily and becomes a mess, weld mesh is harder to apply well, and depending on the build of the bridge, wont follow contours aswell pics of ATV bridge work with the mesh following the bridge contours
  11. theres nothing stopping you working, or looking for work as a groundie
  12. first off do the course, you should be provided with the kit, then when you do the course, youll understand what you actually NEED, and what bits are used for, whats an expensive gimmick, and whats good value. if you start buying the kit with no knowledge, it can be a VERY expensive and uncomfortable mistake enjoy it p.s have a look, try stuff on, but DONT buy yet!!
  13. HAHA nice one liam
  14. Climbing Harnesses - Treeworker.co.uk if i were looking at a new harness in youre situation, on the tree worker website id be looking at the Sequoia, Treemagineers, Treeflex (got one spare, very comfy), EKN, Eldrid (my everyday one-very good AKA tree magic) hope this helps
  15. that looks absoutly HIDEOUS!!! lol, have you a climbing shop near you mate?
  16. are you still on a prussik tony? many who have changed to a vt style have improved or reduced their problems by the more symetrical/ergonomic movements the vt climbing style brings
  17. did you use a chain saw to carve out the holes for youre joints? have you wedged (technical term!) the joint on the outside?
  18. nice work john and tony. john, a collegue at work uses a womans knee brace for his elbow, really rates it
  19. very nice bart! made this table for my mothers birthday (yesterday)out of the yew i milled earlier in this thread
  20. thats the one, you have to use a lorry with one in youre test
  21. hi lee, i done my rigid about a year ago with DTT, based youre side of bury st edmunds, cost about £1100, 3 days training, theory and practicle test and we were using the term splitter box too, really liked using that actually
  22. jack front left, and rear right wheel off the ground and support with axle stands, put in diff lock, and slowley engage first low on tick over, the wheels off the ground should rotate, now try and hold one of the slowley spinning wheels, if you can and only the un-held wheel spins, diff isnt working, if you cant hold the wheel, (dont try too hard!) diffs working (very dangerous btw!)
  23. . if a half shaft has gone, you wont go anywhere without difflock. does youre diff lock light illuminate? if you put it in diff lock, and turn on tarmac, does it scrub tyres/jump/smash transfer box to 1000 pieces?
  24. with no diff lock, a landrover is actually 1 wheel drive, with center diff it is 2wd, (1 wheel on each axle)
  25. youre inbox is full!
