  1. I ave been told by FC or somebody who worked for them, thinning size is up to 10cm DBH and does not need planning etc: woodland coppice and such. anything larger requires permission anywhere. Again his seems to come down to who you speak to and which area you live in.
  2. Another thought, being an old git; when I worked in another industry the plebs (us workers) where assessed by the line manager who attended all the courses who then passed on there ultimate knowledge, I thought that this still happens. The last course I went on (WINDBLOWN) I was told that this was ok for being re-assessed,anyway NPTC ASSESSMENT WAS FOR LIFE, I was also told to keep my Blue book? OK I know we have to keep up to the ideas it is for our own good, but let us have some common sense and a level playing field. Remember that Parliament makes the laws not a company making a great deal of money.
  3. Does this apply to Joe public when they walk into large diy store and pick up a £90 saw
  4. The act wording is; INTENT!!! for nesting sites.
  5. I hope you you do not coppice NOW!!!??? NESTING TIME C.R.O.W Act. And something else the hazel rods will rot within a year. Try West Sussex there they collect for the summer maybe they will sell you some.
  6. Mesh Safety Glasses Try these and the same has Dan's
  7. Sorry for hiccup Try this guy had three 372 346 357 High quality, non genuine replacement parts for Stihl and Husqvarana chainsaws
  8. Once you set it up, great nice even sharpen
  9. Glenmarangie (LASANTA. sherry cask) Very nice How do you drink it ice, water, soda? myself I was told to wet the glass which I do now this seems bring all the flavours out.
  10. :thumbup:Welding gloves
  11. Plantoil - Home Page Try this firm bio oil rape seed. been using it years can leave saw for weeks and can still turn the chain. used other bio oils the chain has to be washed and cleaned. Cost me £75 for two 25 litre drums delivered
  12. Just ring the local fire station before you burn tell them the day you are burning this stops them from racing out on an emergency call. You get dick heads ring to see the engines turn out. The fire service are very good about this As for the price if a good friend ?????? If an acquaintance proper rate for job
  13. Sycamore the first to leaf. and the first to loose leaf
  14. Husky 357 2002 used for hedge-laying every winter and some tree work summer
  15. I have handled blackthorne being hedge years and not had any problems. I am begining to think on two lines 1) Are the people who suffer allergic to thorne? 2) Having had a thorn through the glove is it the muck and tannings in the glove.
  16. being an old git and like to have good reputation, you should give good advice as you see it. My personal opinion is I prefer to crown lift and thin, If you travel through Northern France, Netherlands, Belgium their policy seems to be the old ways!! I KNOW I KEEP HARPING ON THE OLD WAYS BUT it does work. Pollarding! Yes it does look drastic, But again it works. In towns there are less leaves to block drains, I cannot understand why this country has stopped looking back, YOU HAVE TO LOOK BACK TO SEE WHICH WAY YOU SHOULD GO!? You will and can save trees by Pollarding:confused1:.
  17. strop on the back loop ! chainsaw either side passed round the back
