I have only just got in. Banged it on channel 4+1 to record. See which company it was.
-
Whereabouts in Kent is that?
-
preferably somewhere with purple sycamores.
-
let the lads on the bikes move them themselves the lazy gits. we used to take spades with us mountain biking to dig dirt jumps, sometimes digging all day and it got dark before we had chance to ride the jumps, so moving a couple of pieces of wood aint gonna hurt em.

or just dont even answer your phone, stay in bed.

Wrong side of gods county mate sorry. On second thoughts, give up now. They are all roughnecks over on the west side. You won't learn anything and don't stand a chance.
-
Not alot else I would imagine.

Thoroughly good idea.

Same as any other industry really. Employers love keen workers and initiative. Go round local firms asking to help out for free for a day or two (weekends if you currently have a job) to get a feel for the job, see if you are still as keen after dragging conifer branches 500yards to a chipper. Keep harrasing the chaps if they say they haven't got anything for you. Eventually they may see how keen you are and give you something. Don't be late, don't swear, don't ask what time you leave or how much you may get paid. Simples. Realise now that you will be learning from grass roots up. Starting with dragging, carrying, sweating etc etc. Good luck. Whereabouts in Yorkshire are you based.

Your telling us?

I want some of the horns off axmen. For every limb. Woop woop.
-
I've got a couple of hard and fast rules. Big gob, couple of wedges, plenty of woop woops and yeehaas.

Pete. It clearly states that the stem was 6foot long. How could you run up and down the stem? 2paces and you would fall off the end. Haha
-
But did it fall the right way? Let's see some pictures of your hinges.
-
I just like the sound of the back of my axe hitting a wedge. Think it looks cool as well to fall a tree with wedges. Set it up with chainsaw, finish it with back of the axe.
-
Hahaha. I'm imagining Dave sat at his desk with his little felling props. Play acting at felling large backleaning shampoo bottles over imaginary shoelace HV lines using a Parker pen as a felling bar and cutting pieces of an eraser to use as little wedges.
-
Oh yeah. The colour is fab mate. Really stands out.
-
Was boyband treated with the same rules and dicipline when he came to work for you?
-
If I look back now i would have absolutely loved for my father to have been in Arb or forestry. I wouldve relished the oppurtunity to work alongside him, learning the trade. Alas, my dads a driving instructor. Haha would be interesing to hear some stories of second generation arbs who DONT work with their fathers and the reasons. Haha
-
big gobs are best. some of the gobs i have seen from recently trained personnel begger belief.
-
This site should be called sawtalk.co.uk or treecutterchat.co.uk
-
It's far from the perfect hinge. Go back to the first page Pete. Haha

CAMPING. Not camp.:thumbup1:You can keep your sandwiches.
