  1. Clyne valley has some good trees to climb, also some very scary bike tracks/ jumps.
  2. Here lies the problem. As someone who employs people to fell comercially people with tickets and no experience can not fell trees safely. As an instructor there is only so much that i can teach in a week. Added to this the commercial pressures to get it done as quickly and as cheaply as possible....... Do you wonder why we work in an industry with such high accidents and deaths. The solution is simple, pay people days rates to that they do not have to rush and cut corners.
  3. The bloke next door needs a new pot and piston for his Jonsreed saw. I can not find anything locally, where next ?
  4. I am still none the wiser for the soft dutchman, and i am intreged. Can you supply a step by step photo or video guide.
  5. It is probably quicker for you to get to north Wales than me. Go on you know you want to.
  6. In picture one you have to undercut up to the blackline, and then cut down to meet, points are deducted for every millimeter not meeting up, and for every degree outside 90 degrees right angle. You also have to cross cut a log with the bottom 30mm buried in sawdust, points are deducted for every mill left uncut. Bar and chain change against the clock And finnally fell and sned against the clock
  7. They are huge. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSz_iGxUQwQ]The chainsaw guy log testing Homelite Super 650 chainsaw 2 22.AVI - YouTube[/ame]
  8. You have to do two types of crosscutting, take of the bar and chain and flip the bar, and fell and sned a tree. You loose points for everything, and the rule book is about 40 pages long.
  9. Yep the full English. Tis a good day out, get to meet lots of interesting people
  10. I have never hear of them, pics please
  11. At a guess if you ave lots of brown ends it is one of two reasons: The fire underneath did not get hot enough, or you did not burn it for long enough, or both of the above. Good luck
  12. Details have just been released It will take part on Saturday 15th June at Clocaenog forest. Anyone interested need to ring Bethan Davies at RWAS (Royal Welsh Agricultural Show) on 01982 554411 A couple of pickies from last year
  13. Wot no banter ? Listening to you two is better than watching the telly. Microphones next time please. That is one of the best start to a video, what are you going to do to top that ?
  14. They are available in either white or black as well as grey.
  15. At a guess he is refering to your chopper (splitting maul)
  16. How queer, Alder is one of my favorate to fell: Generally they tend to be the straightest, and easy to get on the deck. Just go to show one mans meat is anothers poison.
  17. The newer stein water proof jacket is holding up well. The fleece lined collar always feels dry. Overtrousers with braces stops them from decending around your knees.
  18. Is that breen down in the background ? Last time i was there was 20 years ago for an all night party.
