Yeah Dan at Chelfords has told me all about you . Im sure you can get something from the chemist for that . Have you seen that Beech yet ? . Are you using the husky climbing saw .
-
Husqvarna do one but the hire shops used to hire out the partner version . Basically a stihl saw with a small stump cutter head on .Bolted to a two wheeled trolley . Only any good if sharp and the stumps are quite small . I wouldnt be suprised if someone on here has got one as they are handy .

About 4 years ago while doing some Crown lifting on the Limes at our local Church yard . We were asked for a business card by a guy . This does not sound strange . He was wearing Stihl chainsaw trousers and the old Stihl boots anyway my young groundie did not realised and gave him a card

On a previous thread when I was reducing the wind damaged tree there was a pikey stalking me . Think I got a pic of him on the second photo . He had the cheek to go door knocking in the close I was working in . He was eyeing up my tools:sneaky2:

White Noise replied to Stephen Blair's topic in Large equipment
Well done Gloria . This young lady certainly earns her keep . How do you get the customer to keep the chip / log ? -
I always ask if it would be at all possible to clear the dog foul at least 2 days before . And also not let the dog foul again without picking it up straight away . Other wise if theres mess on the morning of the job I will walk . I have been known to pick the odd one up but it is not on really .

Do you take a "Photo CV" with you when quoting ?
White Noise replied to Catweazle's topic in General chat
Im sure youve posted some pics of your work before and it was top notch . I like the idea of pointing to web site if i had one , but I dont want to spend more dollars as Im after another truck . -

White Noise replied to Catweazle's topic in General chat
Well I do and I thought everyone did . I think anything that helps get the work has got to be done . Not just photos copys of certification and letters off previous customer saying how pleased they are with your work .Always hand over a business card . -
Oh yes . Would one care to use ones 66 or would one prefer the optimal cutting performance of the 88 wot wot:lol:. ASAP Yorkshireman .

My very first welder was a Wiz arc which I still have today . It is a small stick welder with no fan so it cuts out after about 20 mins of welding . Although is great for small repairs , which is why someones always borrowed it . Next welder was a large stick welder from Machine Mart which has proven to be brilliant . Ive made chipper chutes , High sides for trailers ,transits and numerous repairs to all manner of machinery .Ive had it for about 7 yrs plus . I also have a mig but cant seem to get on with it . And like said before it is gasless so wire is expensive . good luck and happy hunting

I have a job over that way next week. If its still there I will get you some close up shots .

I dont think so . It will probably go to the guy who will do it for the firewood or peanuts , God bless him . There are a lot of heavy limbs under a huge amount of pressure ,so he better have his thinking head on . Not to mention the suprise he ll get when he cuts the trunk and the root plate flys back towards the rd

My garage is wall to wall carpet . Is a bit crap when ya welding .Second hand of course could do with a clean . May do the concrete paint thing summer time . Oh heated by Calor Gas .
-
Yeah got pics on the right way . winner .

This Beech was blown down into the field . You can see the trunk is hollow and a number of different fruitifications / fungi were dotted around the base and in the hedgerow . I,m sorry I only took a pic of one of the fungi . Anyway the the root plate was about 13 ft high . Situated next to a busy main Rd . Enjoy I hope the pics go on straight this time . Fingers crossed .

Thank you very much kind Sir . I will no doubt have to solve the problem myself sooner or later .
