The problem with the HSE stats is that they include any chainsaw / tree incident under tree surgery. This means they include a lot of landscaper types who simply got out of their depth. The stats aren't a true reflection of the professional industry but that's not the concern of the HSE, they are mandated to protect and if banning the use of top handled saws will do the job then its an option for them.

That's a tribute to Bandits build quality, they might be heavy but they are strong, wounded but not dead. That chipper will go again, the muck truck wont.

You are never to old but we are all running out of time. If your goal is to do your own bits of in house climbing then go for it. If your goal is to become a first rate climber, do you have the time to gain the experience needed?

The operator. The design of the saw makes it possible to use the saw with one hand. This means that there is less control and in the event of a kickback the chain brake wont operate by the front hand mechanism

As it stands its not individually identifiable so that's a fail What you need to do is make it identifiable with a unique reference number attached to the cord. Write it on a bit of fabric plaster with an indelible pen and attach it with shrink tube. You can let your LOLER inspector do this if they offer the service but its cheaper to do it yourself.

Perhaps in excepting it they don't accept it?

Because modern carbon steels are far superior. The paternation in Damascus steels is caused by banding of different quality steels and is in this day and age largely decorative. It doesn't make a top quality blade but it is quite pretty.

It was a bit of a car crash, but never mind, here is another.....

Then say nowt, just thank those that have helped you and ask questions.

Bet he didn't have his phone in his pocket though. Been there, done that bought the new phone:laugh1:

Fella, you are in a hole, STOP DIGGING. You aren't helping yourself

I will start worrying when you can get it into a back garden, without trashing it:laugh1:

I was more interested in the mantles. The timber I come across is usually only fit for that size wise. I chainsaw milled a couple and put them in a farm sale. Disappointing to say the least, it would have been a lot less work to firewood it. Perhaps that's just not the right market for it but that sale has a large architectural salvage element
-
Yup, get that wrong and you will shear the threaded portion off the end of the crank, usually happens using the gun on the wrong direction and a piston stop
-
What's the preferred cross section and where do you market them to get that price?
-
That's the one, you see stuff like that roughed out to beams at various farm sales where it commands some miserable prices, the line between timber and firewood is narrow indeed.
-
Because the people who faked the picture didn't know that
-
Based on how many sites?
-
How many have you actually seen cut for firewood? Most of the ones I see aren't fit for anything other than firewood or the extraction makes it uneconomical, that and when the client sees you carting dimensioned timber away they start to think you should be paying them
-
It is the easier option, I enquired with BALI (doesn't hurt to get ahead of the game) and they were appalling. They just said the person that deals with that wont be in for the next few days and left the matter dead ended there. No offer of a call back or anything else helpful. I went to my local test centre sat the test that day and got an operative card 2 days later. BALI need to bring their game up to that standard.
-
You got that wrong. I don't want to be on your data base, I asked them to take my details off it. When I said I didn't mind junk mail, I didn't say I wanted it. Since my last phone conversation with your rep it has gone to no communication and that's how I like it. If at any point in the future I want anything, I will be in touch.
-
The card is a ticket on to the site, it is a requirement to walk through the gate, it doesn't get you a pass on site inductions or safety briefings.
-
Its not a loop hole though is it?, its just the previous, and current state of things, until site managers start asking for something else its the way it will stay.
-
Its a box ticking exercise, Listen to the contractor and get the operative card. I have had one for years and never been asked for anything else. The BALI thing is expensive and clearly not needed
-
Its definitely not an ant but it is probably Poplar
