silky fox

the more the merrier i say Mr Collins:thumbup: "Feelgood threads" i call em....spreadin the love throughout the Arb community!

next time matey:thumbup1:

It numbs the pain:D

Good work position IS everything:) it will always keep you safe and make the job run smoothly...tree surgery aint rocket science...don't cut corners....only branches:D

What an Amazing story so far Will...Big respect for what you've done....you have gone with your instincts and taken the Adventure path of life..rather than sit at home vegetating or whinging on you have rolled up your sleeves jumped in at the deep end and already it's paying off! good for you lad!:thumbup: Keep the thread rolling bro and let's see some pictures:cool:

The trip home is a three hour nightmare on a friday and i just like to get it over and done...

The end of another week. It was a great day on the side of the Chilterns. Dangerous Dave and Clive finnished of the Log wall they were creating and before i left he gave me one of his new T shirts now in black and made me a file handle from Yew (i taught him everthing he knows:001_tt2:)...Today,something different but for me a Great meeting of minds...i am to have a day walking around the big garden with a couple of people i have been wishing to meet ever since i began my thread and there will be MANY pictures to follow... I do love felling,dismantling and basically any tree surgery discipline but...at the heart of my passion is living Trees...after my Family and girlfriend..Trees are my favourite thing. to me,there is nothing more Perfect or Noble. So today i am going to "Pethers of Kew" Butchers to collect three Dinosaur Pastys and meeting Mr Tony Croft (AKA Hamadryad) and Rob Arb for a Day in Kew Gardens!

It's suspended with cables.....anyhoo...time for a brew:thumbup:

A very peaceful place to work...

Today...the fox is in the Chilterns,high up in Bodger's wood clearing and logging up windblown:)

You know what i mean Skyhuck?....."Teapot" springs to mind:lol:

i know what you mean......mine works like a dream...Especially with a spiderjack and a pulley saver:001_smile:

Heizohacks are Awsome!....woodEd we may need to get your hand surgically removed from your hip one day:001_rolleyes:....cool Avatar mate!

I bought one at the APF...mine looks exactly the same as yours....springs etc,,,,used it last week ....Perfect.

Good advice but i am merely a worker...Kew is my home for the next year or so..it,s far away enough from London to be quiet and peaceful and my home is lovely and i am able to think here..my girlfriend lives less than a mile away and i enjoy cycling between the Narrow boats where i first landed here...via Kew Royal Botanic Gardens (Mecca) up to Richmond Park...i would just like to offer my services close to these benefits.I have been documenting the last 5 or 6 years of my life and tree work...my thread will be rolling where ever i work....Something will occur..i like working for Delabodge in Twyford a couple of days a week but at nearly 45,a short cycle of a few miles each day to work,would be ideal:001_smile: i am very happy for the rest of the year but i set my sights very high and know i am destined to be manager or something similar...i love every aspect of Arboriculture. But one thing sticks in my mind and that is something a Contracts manager said to me during one of my many Apraisals i have had over the last 5 years in Urban Forestry in Central London..in his summing up he said,"i reccomend that you be put on the National tech Certificate","You are an oustanding Team Leader and motivator"...that is my greatest asset and i am well aware of it...so therein lies my dilema...That is what i have to aim for now...on a final note before i head of to the hammock for some Big ZZZZED,S.....here is where i get my inspiration from...Men like this Austrian....Felix who is shown here seconds after his attempt to jump from the edge of space today was aborted....i admire people like this a lot.....if Felix can do it...so can i:thumbup: (Become a team leader...not jump from 23 miles to earth from up in space:001_rolleyes:)...

One of my favourite songs ..."A Forest" by the CURE. First released single in 1980 originally but from the remixed album.."All Mixed up"...

Still can,t seem to find any local work:blushing: the last couple of nearby firms were just unproffessional beyond belief...if it wasn,t for my Rural friends on Arbtalk i,d be stacking shelves in my local Tesco:001_rolleyes:...anyway...stiff upper lip and crack on! Didn,t leave my Study all day...just job searching...went out late afternoon to check for Autumn colour. Robarb,Hama and O.M.T.C it,s looking good...just hope for Sun to enhance it

Watching it you can almost taste the Adrenaline!!.....Very Brave:thumbup1:

That Winch is absolutely Pornographic and as i said on FB......XXX RATED!

Oh well...have to make do with the 20 second cycle of a vertical splitter.....or buy a nice heavy splitting maul and keep fit doing it:001_rolleyes:
