    Steel!, someone had placed it over a sapling and the tree kept growing , that's how it got chipped, it must of been about 20 feet up, we chipped a clump of hazel. Anyhoo, new blades on, everything hunky dory!

    Chuck a bag of sawdust on it, let it soak up the rough of it, give it a going over with an old towel and then wash it, job done.

    When you see 8" of beech disappear in seconds, surely a bit of metal can't be that diferent?

    I just heard a rattle along the shoot, a big rattle!! It still chipped small brash up to 5" but struggled with bigger. It never stalled, maybe 150hp behind it helps! Haven't rummaged through the chip yet to see what we find.

    Well today was the day, after 12 years of owning my own Chippers, it finally happened. Metal got into my chipper, it was an old 2 feet long piece of steal scaffold. It was in a clump of ivy wrapped around silver birch. Now awaiting new blades.

    A new saw is a very good investment, take your time and save up and go to your local dealer or a show and get a good deal. As far as if one is stolen, then ask to see a copy of he receipt and the serial number before you buy:001_smile:

    Less of what your doing is my only advice. If your a climber, Ditch the top handle for a while, go back to rear handle saw for climbing and do it old school not cut n hold. If you prussik 1 side, change climbing technique to hand over hand.

    A few years back I was closing off an old footbridge, most of the timber was missing , what was there was dodgy . We were just finishing putting the sign up, when a lady in crutches appeared, we chatted about the bridge needing fixed, etc etc, then she said bye and started across the bridge, I said what are you going? She looked at me with a look that only a rambler with rights can give, laughed and hobbled over the dodgy bridge. By the end of the day the sign , tape and wired on pallets were in the river!
