    Old chipper

    i hope its not your caravan in the picture
  6. jonsie has already had the tshirts made and sold mate
  7. well i know a bloke at work who did the same ND course as i'm doing at Moreton Morrell, and out of the class he was in which was roughly 25 there are only 4 still in the industry :sneaky2:
  8. another good point well made
  9. as a student who has been in the industry for nearly three years, and just over halfway through my ND i think you have hit the nail on the head there Matt. all i can add to that is that you get out as much as you put in, and anyone can just achieve a pass in college by just coasting and caring about their career, but if you put more in and try harder and do the merit and distinction tasks i think you will come out with quite a good understanding of arboriculture
  10. some of them chippers look sweeet!!! looks like you enjoyed yourself
  11. thats a smart little rig Tom, it reminds me of a mini county
  12. You'll only do it once an all that.Me too and it hurt.It's when you get to knockin out the top an jist before the wind picks up then your saw runs out off fuel!I put it back down to a shout ''what's wrong with the saw''WTF! i know lol, just before every big bit that i knock out or lower i check the fuel in the saw though , so hopefully i'll never be in that position
  13. i know, that happened a bit today as it was quite windy and you have to pull your rope really hard to get it around them!!!! another lesson learned but i do try and keep the pegs to a minimum because they heurt if you swing into them:001_cool:
  14. thas massive!!! i thought elms didn't really get that big. what happened to all the timber?
  15. if it is pop its got brown rot all the way through it lol
  16. i thought pop at first, but then saw the deep colour that i've never seen in pop before, then i thought walnut buts the heartwood goes too close to the edge to be walnut, and i've never worked with elm of any sizr so i wouldn't know
  17. is it some sort of sequoia?
  18. i love that grapple skidder and valmet
  19. it was done on a sunday because thats when the road on the other side is quietest, and its the only day im not in college or work with Simon
  20. after felling the top out into the field it was chogged down in fairly large lumps about half way, but we ran out of light so it is still left standing, i'll fell it in the next few days and get the farmer to pull it over with one of his tractors
  21. waht do you mean dry jobs?
  22. it was a job that i did for myself:001_smile:. it was for the farmer down my road, i do all his tree work for him and in return he lets me burn brash that i get from jobs in one of his fields and lets me sell the logs aswell . and the tree was literally about 100mtrs away from my door so i had loads of tea's as well
