  1. Good knot, with very little sit back. I have now switched from VT to the Michoacan because of the lack of sit back. I use Tenex 9mm for the knot, which works very well.
  2. I like the last two, of the fir log converted into a caravan.
  3. Not heard of this knot, and it is knot in my ultimate encylopedia of knots, so it may be or may not be a sod to undo.
  4. I have got a clapped out tractor, and a clapped out land rover, WHY would i want something that modern, and not clapped out ? :001_tt2:
  5. i like these: Trees Pop Art Stein by ultrapopart| CafePress.co.uk
  6. This would be mine. Welcome to MOD Sales Online - Military Vehicles for Sale - Ex MOD Land Rovers for Sale - #14694 - Bedford 4x4 MJ Atlas Crane truck :thumbup:
  7. £60 until you have proved your worth, then £61. Only kidding, I would say that a man of your experience is worth £90 a day. But i will have to take your word for how good you are.
  8. With a bit of tinkering, i think that you will a good buy there, particularly if you add some scaffold poles for bolsters you will be able to carry a tidy load.
  9. i alway have a first lucky throw, and if that does not work then it normally take about twenty minutes to get the branch that i want. If all else fails i resort to the bag of rods with the hook!
  10. Any bird that has such a fine/ ludicrous courtship gets my vote.
  11. Left school with one CSE Spent six years working in a camping shop. Saw an advert in a surfing mag for a degree course, was given an unconditional offer, which was handy as i had no qualification. Left college with a 2:2 Worked as a volunteer with Cornwall wildlife trust, where i got my chainsaw tickets. Got a job in Dorset, met my wife. Moved to Pembrokeshire, got a job with Tillhill doing powerline clearance, then made redundant. Looked after children for 18 months. Started a partnership which lasted 5 years before we went our seperate ways. Now working on my own, with help from various Arbtalk members.
  12. Austria duo one, which i don't like.
  13. Here thats posh, what is it called Pluckingham Palace.
  14. What volume is there, and is it road side with good access ?
  15. That would be heaven for my chickens !
  16. It will look even better if you take off the snorkle !
  17. Practice practice practice, and experience. During your breaks work out the volume of what you have cut. If it is logs the following formular is pretty accuarate: pie* Diameter squared/40000 * Length. If you are felling and snedding Table 11, page 112-113 in the forestry measurement book will give you whole tree volumes. Between these two i have managed without getting bogged down, which is good as i is only a bear of very simple brain. Good luck
  18. That looks a good read if you can not sleep !
  19. Sticky, spikey, sticky, spikey, stickey, spikey. But the wood is beautiful, so if you know anyone with a mobile/ chainsaw mill.......... Oh did i mention Sticky, spikey, sticky, spikey, stickey, spikey. P.S. welding gloves reduce the pain factor on your fore arms
