  1. Fascinated by fascinating fasciation:001_smile:. Seen it on syc before
  2. If that's the case then they've put a TPO on it.
  3. If the council are not allowing it to be felled then have they placed a TPO on it?
  4. Old forest floor exposed in Tywyn, N Wales. Hope link works. https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=396365513842643&set=pcb.396372453841949&type=1&theater
  5. I remember my dad telling me that and of them being taken up when he was a small child which would have been during the Great War.
  6. Yes I'd be interested and Hampshire's ok with me.
  7. Bandsaw boxes are a nice thing to make. Plenty of videos on youtube.
  8. What you need for holes are Forstner bits.
  9. No problem. Just call emergency services and they'll be out to rescue them. They should then be presented with the bill:001_smile:
  10. What happens when it comes to refueling? Looks like a bit of hassle to demount the saw.
  11. It was an April Fools trick Sir Patrick Moore pulled years ago:001_smile:
  12. Fourme d'Ambert fermiere is a beautiful cheese. Made for hundreds of years in France from unpasteurised milk. Probably what good Stilton used to taste like.
  13. I like my strong cheeses but haven't got the stomach for that:001_smile:
  14. What you really need to taste is Casu Marzu from Sardinia; complete with maggots:001_smile:
  15. Nice boots. Had them in the past. Just wish I had small feet:001_smile:
  16. I started climbing at twenty and have done so for thirty five years. I reckon my peak (speed wise) was around forty five. In the last five years things have caught up physically and mentally. Now I just ache and hurt when I'm resting and with no real motivation for run of the mill tree work. In the last month I've had my hand flattened by a big lump of pop on a takedown; dropped the 020 across my bicep and put a ground saw across my boot. All very close calls and due to tiredness and lack of concentration! So in answer to the OP: starting at forty puts you way behind in experience and by the time you have some then you may be starting to think 'what the hell am I doing here' Have a go...you never know.
  17. I fired up one of my bikes last week. It hadn't been started for three years. A new battery and it fired up and ran smoothly on three year old fuel.
  18. I'm at Stafford. Nothing on for that time at the moment. What about finding a hedge we can have a weekend on then anyone could come and have a go?
  19. Looks as though it's already been lifted and lion-tailed to the limit. I'd take a chance and pollard it back by removing the remaining crown. Will leave it as a high pollard but given its history the only other option may be removal.
  20. Called to this one. A tornado came through on Wed night leaving a line of uprooted trees. This pine is wedged tight in the river. About 80'. The rootplate is 16'. The only access to drag it out is half a mile across very wet meadow.
