Another Cotton Palm bites the dust. This one went according to plan. (no damage) Apart from my lack of correct PPE, i think it went o.k. happy viewing simon [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYtiJDCo_4w[/ame]

I ummed and ahhhed for awhile before posting, as i new what would be coming. I hoped by posting that anyone else who sees the vid and thinks "that looks like a normal day at the office" will learn from my mistakes as well. Any advice on what i could have done better is greatly appreciated. cheers

Thanks for the input guys. I recommend that everyone should film their work. It lets you see where you have gone wrong, as well as being able to show your work to more experienced people. At the time i made that video i didn't know any better and i was pretty pleased with myself (apart from smashing the fence) now when i watch the video i cringe, and think it makes me look like a cowboy. YeeHaa! Im always grateful for forums such as this, they have helped my education as well as making me a safer worker and business owner. (though sometimes you really have to swallow your pride) cheers simon

what can i say, "I was young and needed the money" ok,ok, yes,yes. snap cuts, PPE, sharp chains etc etc... I'm only new to the tree industry and mostly self taught. please be gentle on me [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPFUk4a1QTM[/ame]

The polesaw is also very handy when your a fat bastard (like me) and your climbing out on a dead limb.

Hi, camera is "Oregon scientific" its a digital type with an SD card. bought it second hand from a mate who was no longer using it. It's a bit jerky and grainy at times but it gets the job done. It's a great learning tool, every tree worker should have one. gloves are cheap riggers from the hardware shop. cheers

Hi all, new to this forum, so i thought i would get the ball rolling with a video of a tree we did a few days ago. Cheers [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVNg7tSB_3Q[/ame]
