Climbing Kit, Loler and the Sole Trader, Whats the Point?
treequip replied to R Mac's topic in Climbers talk
It probably smells like something that did -
Mineral oils can be a problem and shouldn't be used near water. Small quantities of veg oil should be OK, anyone with a respectable environmental policy will probably insist on it Last place I worked near fish was a trout farm where a large limb had dropped in without causing any loss, the owner said it would have to hit one to do any harm. Water transmits energy much better than air so I am guessing a half hundredweight dropped into a relatively shallow body of water from a dizzy height might not do Mr bubbles any good

The laser pen is a good tool but beware the over officious council warden. I had a particularly ill informed one accost me on a HA property, making all sorts of spurious claims that I was "going equipped" to bring down aircraft, slice 007 up the gizzard and generally cause the doom of mankind. He was all for chucking me on the cells till a copper rolled up and explained the way the world works. Oh the joys of tree work :001_rolleyes:

I think its EU funded as a Job creation scheme. Something for the migrant workers to do in the off season perhaps:confused1:

Nice thought but tell me that again on a cold wet January Monday, dragging brash in a dog turd infested council estate

Why not just fit a "no stress" device

This is a single skin of "armaribond" which is a generic composite, its as light as, but takes damage which is why its over a 25mm box frame. It did well as a chip box but it would need a second skin for log work.

You know, I never did, and to be fair, I did do it at my convenience, it was about 6 AM so I would have felt bad about waking them, and I was on my way to another job, and I didn't fancy explaining the ton of rubble that may not have been part of the original fly tip, and I didn't want to get into a debate about why the 2 family cars were now blocked in, what with it being a school run day and all.
-
A lot of fly tip happens on private land and that makes it the landowners problem Had some dumped on land I was renting, fortunately there was paperwork in there so all I had to do was load it and return it to the owner.

That's not uncommon, back in the day quite a few of the then newly privatised East German "communal" farms fell for the same trick

So about the size of a small shed then? Well that means you spread the HAVS exposure out over time, still the same exposure though, its cumulative
-
It makes a decent box, search Glass Reinforced Plastic
-
Unless its a small shed that amount of chainsaw work (with an old and particularly high vibe machine) is going to be slow and expensive. Its also going to be really hard on your fingers
-
Or not.................. There is a ton if Turner engineering agricultural kit out there, they were making AG kit for many years before they started importing Ganadini chippers, before starting the greenmech brand and leaving Graham Satchwell (ex Turner employee) to go off with the Ganadi gig

Would the rest of the engine still be covered though? Get mi coat then ???
-
Maybe they had a dispute with your neighbour and were getting revenge, plenty of people on here talk about it but then, talk is cheap
-
The sling is a pretty simple thing, it looks like its a chain of locked splices in a bit of hollow braid. There are several splicers on here that could make one for you. Check out the splicing sub forum, this guy has some nice work on there but there are others http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/members/matthew-norman.html

Climbing Kit, Loler and the Sole Trader, Whats the Point?
treequip replied to R Mac's topic in Climbers talk
Nope, where did you get the more competent part? OK some are more technically savvy than others but the external inspection is also about an independent inspection Is it ? The official word is that the inspector should be "sufficiently impartial" (along those lines) If you can make the case for that, have at it. I can just about see it for an employee in a large company with inspection policies and such in play but as a one man band I would say its hard to argue impartiality. I imagine the test in law for that would be that the inspector would need to be financially divorced from the process and free from fear of any repercussions of their actions -

Climbing Kit, Loler and the Sole Trader, Whats the Point?
treequip replied to R Mac's topic in Climbers talk
Well LOLER is more than tree work, its a catch all of any lifting in all industries in many lands and we are the smallest part of a tooth on a minor cog. There is a lot of resentment for LOLER, particularly among freelancers, phrases like "as of I would trust my life to dodgy kit" are common. What is often missed is that its not just the climber that's at risk, OK, so the chances of getting hit by a falling climber are low but if his saw lanyard fails or a lowering rope breaks there will be tears before bed time. The point of the formal 6 or 12 monthly inspection is that it is independent. The sum of it all is that LOLER is designed to protect all. -
And it will need a trip to the ministry for approval, but since its a mod, you might as well use second hand bits. Here is all you need for cheap, just add an Anderson plug and a mig welder ford transit tipper pump and ram. | eBay

I didn't say buy it, I said measure it, just copy the geometry.
