what do people think of the SIP Freedom trousers Type C? Also can someone get a good pic of a pair? cant seem to find any good ones on the net to see what they look like

haha i've never been interested in fishing. its the river arrow, starts in wales (Gwaunceste Hill or summin) then flows into england (herefordshire) through Kington and then towards Leominster

Having the river run right round one of our fields in an arc we get a lot of problems with river erosion, most of it we have combatted by filling and putting willow stems in, one bad corner was stacked with large concrete blocks, didnt look nice to begin with but how its grown over and looks good. But anyway heres my point, saw this today on the opposite bank, such a shame as a few years a go this oak tree was looking really healthy. Wont be long before hes in.

Yeahh that right, thought i would have a go at a bit of this type of stuff today, always been sort of interested in it, so today i decided that i would have a "practise" at somthing. My Family has got an area of land by the river, lovely place for BBQ's and my friends and I go camping there in the summer, so i have decided to give it a bit of a make over, going to fence it off, plant some more trees, build a nice bench (just gotta mill the timber first) and today i put some "steps" down to the river. Was a bit of a bodge job, but hey they work and im pleased with them, just kinda grabbed some bits of sawn wood scraps and a few old half round stakes and off i went, no real planning involved and certainly no tape measure or spirt level (think i should have taken the spirt level though ), not quite finished gunna get 2 boards, 4ft-ish might measure it and put along each side of the steps going down the bank, if ya get what i mean. Did some strimming aswell, docks and nettles, now its looking good, had a nice afternoon

thanks guys, been milling up at this place for a while so heres what we have milled so far, spec is 1" any width, any length, for floor boards for doing up an house house or somthing

Finally got hold of a Sachs Dolmar 166 (thanks to TCD), the biggest in the Sachs Dolmar range, 118cc! Its amazing, in such good condition too! Still waiting for the 44" bar to come in the post, but had a go with it yesturday with my pretty much brand new 36" Oregon Bar Cutting up a big piece of oak so it would it on the band saw, took the first slab off with the alaskan, rolled it with the tractor, then took the next slab off by nailing a rail along the side and just following it with the saw, dunno why i decided to do it like that lol Was a gooood day

ahh right, thats agood idea might have to build somthing like that

beachwood whats the hole with the mesh on it for?

yeahh i would like to keep it native actually, but want a bit of change from willow and alder, would oak do well? i've seen big oak trees in swamps, but im sure the establishment is pretty hard on them in these conditions

ahhh cheers for the help mate, much apprieciated

yeah thats what i thought, but because of the floods? we occasionly get them all through that time, would they wash the tree away, it can be up to 3ft deep at the worst times

jonesie, what do the arbtalk t-shirts look likeee?

ahh right, yeah will do, cheers mate! soo guys whens the best time to plant? so they dont get washed away haha

im currently setting up my own workshop, milled all the timber for another workbench a niceee 12ft one just gotta get time to make it, then got another workbench about 8ft long Chain Breaker Rivet Spinner Shelves lot of them! These sort of things are really handy Economy wall mounted bin kits - 16 bin & panel kit - Slingsby Just orderd a bench grinder

hiflex type A, i didnt vote in the poll because i dont climb yet, its the type A's i use in the woods (:

ahh right thanks peter, i have a look into them

Hey Everyone! At home, the river runs right around one of our fields and i want to plant some trees in an area of it, theres already a lot of alder and willow trees around there so i want to put some other stuff around it, what do you recomend planting in a wet area or near-ish to a river? And at what time of year would be best to plant, as this field floods on and off throughout the winter. Thanks Guys

hahaa love these threads (:

thats sweet mate! looks like it works really well! i hope to make somthing like that next year for my leyland, during my agricultural engineering course.

i sooooo want!!! but i must admit i do like all our old kit

i thought the reverse controlls were helpfull with a forwarding trailer?

DOLMARSSSS!!!! if you could find out what model they are? pics? ect. i may be interested (:

no wood is crap wood, some is just better than others

the bush hog at college is just a heavy duty topper type thing, we always use it for clearance in the woods and ride widening, you just gotta keep your hand ready to lift the linkage when you come to a stump, it ent to keen on hitting them
