What you doing home at dinner time! I thought you timberfallers stayed out all day!!

Hi John, Thinking of buying a makita 7901 (used a demo one before) so just wondered how yours is holding up? Any problems to be aware of or anything surfaced in use? Hope you don't mind the sudden message mate but want to hear from someone who has used one alot rather than opening up a mass debate on forum!!

Haven't you found me yet!!

Hi Stevie, I see on the making chains thread you said you had a spinner and breaker you might sell on. Have you still got them mate and if so how much did you want for them?

Cheers Dan

yes unfortunately some people do fail but not everyone is suited to saw work and some think its easy.I assess as well and its not a nice job when you have to fail someone but you need to think long and hard about putting your name to a certificate that allows that person to use that equipment on their own.

yes i certainly looked at it as an addition to skills but im still only 35 and really miss the commercial side of wood work sometimes. At least with training i still keep outdoors and its great when not only does someone learn how to use a saw safely but you can eduacate them into why we do forest operations and there purpose.

Hi David, sorry meant everything like illness and family probs seem to be hassle at the moment.Used to be an under forester on a small estate on the edge of the cotswolds for 10-11 years and then went self -employed. Now turned to the darkside according to some on this site as I now train chainsaw use but still do odd jobs felling for different people when time permits. once sawdust gets in the blood you just can't give it up!

Hi David thanks for the welcome to the group sorry its late in coming everything seems to be against me at the moment. After working in the woods should be used to it really!
