Been sending my Jo Beau blades to Top Cut Saws Ltd at Windsor for years with very good service and workmanship every time. About £85 inc postage.

Small diameter Rob branch wood makes superb looking rustic shelving if milled. The lack of perfect straightness gives character. I did a couple for my daughter, darkened them a bit with Tung oil and put a pair of pseudo wrought iron brackets on them. It's all in the marketing; I see no reason for a 9" board of such lovely timber not to sell.

But I bet the air was vile with the exhaust fumes from the vehicles of that era.

Mine's too. (Not great English; just making the point that it was my mum's y.o.b., not mine. I haven't caught up with @Stubby yet.)

Unusual choice for a hedge. It looks really good. The client's in for a busy time dealing with the regrowth!
-
...as you should be. Very good.

It must have been a gut wrencher Mark; I'm very sorry. You sent your mate off in admirable fashion - good one. On a slightly lighter note did you get a pic of the mohawk? Go on... I'm sure your mate wouldn't mind. Jon

They struggle full stop if the anvil gap's too wide. Too much material is taken at a time and you get strings of material instead of chip. I would imagine the 'credit card thickness' gap would get you by on any wee chipper. On my Jo Beau I tend to make it a 'tight credit card' gap; works fine.

Is 35 too old to start a career as a tree surgeon?
nepia replied to Hound-Dogg's topic in General chat
The best way to get the above right is to engage an accountant. As one said on here once if he doesn't save you more than he charges you there's something wrong. -
That's me; there's no worse anti-smoker than an ex-smoker. Yuk! ?

Is this hunny fungus
nepia replied to Hunny fungus and tpo's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Keep feeding it dead wood to have it leave your plants alone! -
No problem; they're a very basic plastic that burns (at high temperature) very cleanly it is claimed. I take the labels off, leave them upside down for a day and hide them in the recycling bin.

There's a thread running about this saw jenny

Is this hunny fungus
nepia replied to Hunny fungus and tpo's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
That's a new one on me. I hope it proves true as it could help manage the fungus. Do you have a source by any chance? I know someone who could benefit by this; he likes his garden scraped clean - wants every leaf cleared away. Perhaps I could now persuade him to let me leave some old stumps lying around ? -
There may be something in it eggs; I missed a reply to a PM last week cos there was no notification. Always on a desktop - no mobiles, laptops, notepads here. But it was a one-off; the occasional Likes still show up. Thank God there aren't Dislikes.

Not with a mouse on a desktop! And no, not on Instagram. But I've got it; the next/previous arrows are there now which they weren't before. Panic over. Admiring that Multione; very useful.?

I sprained my right ankle three times as a teenager badly enough to need the sticky white bandage from heel nearly to the knee each time. After 10 days the trauma of peeling it off most of my leg nearly outdid the benefit of wearing it. Then soon into my 18th year I fully broke the thing jumping of six lanes of bales on a runaway bale trailer. I've never sprained it badly since...
-
**** that looks sore - burnt a hole clean through. Actually it's a bit like the hole in my exhaust cover!
-
I'm glad someone was kind enough to write my soppy response for me!! Totally agree porky. Even if weakness isn't the issue a good physio may diagnose something else to explain three bad sprains in a short space of time.

How do we get to see more than one pic?!
-
You can but it's a bit of a fiddle. Easier to use is the spine of the carabiner on the harness end of your saw strop.
-
Hmm - aren't you easily pleased
-
Define 'exciting' in the context of Tube stations ?
-
I didn't think you could catch it that way

Can't think of a more deserving person to win; well done David. And I totally second Steve's comments when it comes to Arbtalk.
