  1. Maybe best to do the RFS first, then tech cert. I'm doing the RFS and find it a good course learn loads, but it is had. I personal wouldn't want to go straight onto the tech cert. Don't know what the entry requirement for the tech cert is also?
  2. Think thats the problem with big contracts, you go in cheap to get the job but end up making little out of it. Could be better of doing 10 private jobs?
  3. Does sound a bit cheap, I normally charge £20 per hr for grounds maintenance. Problem is if you put it up to £20,000 they will tell you where to go.
  4. Cheers for that Dean i will pass it on
  5. TBH depending where you are doing it, all you should need should be in the notes given to you. Another good book is Manual of wood decays in trees by K Weber and C Mattheck wich would be a good book for future referance. Withe the soil planting and woodland paper you may get too bogged down if you start reading too much.
  6. A friend of mine has a Suzuki duel voltage generator, He uses it to run a big breaker and a big drill both 110V. He finds the drill keeps over revving as if there is a power surge. I advised him to use it on the 240V setting with a converter. Does anyone know why this is happening and how it could be cured. Cheers Steve
  7. Shigo is a good one to start with.
  8. Problem is they would need a 12 inch blade to cut 4 inches. I use a circular saw to cut sleepers, then finish with a hand saw. They do a guide for cutting the tops of 3 inch post straight with a hand saw but not 4 inch.
  9. I brought a reciprocating saw for the same purpose, but found they don't cut straight. I tend to use a silky for pressure treated timbre as its quite wet.
  10. Think it is made GQ para shoots, found and old HP cataloger, not in there they only sell 2, 1 there own and a willan. How things of changed.
  11. Do you not have a manual for anything Ian, I have a copy of the kamasutra if you want it.
  12. Also so you cant rotate the file as you stroke and end up with a flat spot.
  13. Cheers for the answer Kev

  20. Nice work again ace is the gate oak too?
  21. Cant see that it makes any differance which way up either hinge is (unless they are both upside down) It will bend if there is enough force on it. In fact I would say the highest point of force is at the top of the top hinge when someone is swinging on it, so this is where it should be attached to the post.
  22. I know how it got there when in snowed last month the snow was that deep someone was trying to dig themselves out.
  23. Weight distribution that explains it all
