  1. From what i remember, shake is generated by: Soil and growing conditions Genetics (some trees are naturally more prone) Some shake is generated from the shear plane that allows the tree to flex without snapping. There is a couple of other reasons but my brain is mush at the moment.
  2. You can put the mouths of this cut in from behind leaning against the trunk
  3. That be a very shiney chipper, how long will that last ? One or two hours ?
  4. Evening Jon, i got all my chokers from speedy hire. They were one that could no long be used for lifting due to a change in the lifting regs. I got six chains and hooks for £20. Might be worth seeing if you have a local Speedy hire.
  5. This might help : http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/climbers-talk/30955-un-official-harkie-harness-review.html
  6. Have a tidy up yesterday and found the above, Any body want it ?
  7. The large limb growing out over the litch gate. Points to be aware of: Tree has a TPO The tree has historical importance The litch gate under the large limb is 11th century Any thoughts helpful or not appreciated
  8. Yes first wood is done, but you are going to have to wait until the fields have dried out before i start forwarding out. Will let you know.
  9. It is not as quick as the fancy bench ones, but when one is in the woods and some hidden barb decides to wreck ones chain. One can resharpen in under five minutes. Win win :thumbup:

  13. Are you sure that you have enough bikes Tim ?
  14. I have now switch to the slow form of yoga (can't remember the name). Each movement takes 20-30 minutes. The hardest thing i find is switching my pesky brain off. i find it a makes a good opposite to the hetic fun of felling and climbing. It also stops my back from locking up too.
  15. Push harder as you bore in. Think of it as a stubbon horse/ woman. Use the inside of your leg braced up against your hand/back handle, and to add extra force. Start off at a less steep angle and cut in3-4" befor you start to bring it paralell with the back of the hinge. Finnally make sure that you are not in the line of fire if it does kick back.
  16. Speedy are very helpful, but have a small order charge, which ment the 3 parts i needed that cost £18, came in at £50.
  17. That stem is crying out to be milled, with all that interesting burring.
  18. The kitchen synthesizer is good as well Guy Turns Kitchen Into Epic SynthesizerVideo
