Wow thats sooo cool. I am not sure why, but it just is!!!

Its an expensive gimmick that those nobs at appkle have come up with to fleece more hard earned punds out of the general public. My mat egave one to his girl for her birthday.....the screen was smashed within a fortnight. You can just imagine the board room meeting when that idea was thought up.......'well we've got these old laptop screens that we cant do anything with, and we need to direct attention away from the recent problems that the iphone is having.....I know, lets make another overpriced gimmick that those who have been taken in by our bull for the last decade will want to rush out and buy and make us even more money' Not that i am cynical AT ALL:sneaky2:

Haha this thread has taken AAGES to load- nearly a minute for the progress bar to fill up!

It was very funny TBH- I met the guys from WPD who had been with that guy all day, and i was asking them why devon firms were working in cornwall balh blah blah......he said that matey had hit the safety bar on the chipper with a branch, as you do, , but couldnt work out how to get the chipper going again (hitting the restart button above the hopper) and thought the chipper was broken lol!

Its can be a PITA with a chain mill, but can be an expensive episode with the bandmill. i hit a gate crook in exeter in the middle of a 4' dia holm oak....ripped several teeth off the band, and as has been mentioned, made some ugly scars on the two boards. the only other time in 13 years was a very old nail in the centre of a farm hedgerow sweet chestnut. I always try to debark before i cut, and on hardwoods from hedges or farmland i do a visual check first, although i tend not to mill these unless i have felled them myself, or seen them standing first.

A steam cleaner would do it. Or the likes of 'muck off', or brillo pads maybe.

Cool!!

I use the county council omline mapping page and print it off.

Brilliant mate. im off out to get a rigging plate.....and loads more rope. What is the red rope in the pics (size etc pls)

Cool. So when the climber has attached the red rope to the piece being cut, and then the tension is applied, he can then pull on the loop below the crab in your pic (the red rope that goes to the vts) to adjust the bits going to the 2 attachment points on the branch?

Seems a tad better tonight mate. My connection isnt ace, but i do get the impression that i am on broadband not dial up now. At least it takes less than 45 seconds to do anything (post replies, go advanced etc etc) Ill keep you posted mate.

No probs on the loan...bailouts is what this country seems to do best at at the moment lol

TCD- you might have THE BEST avatar on the forum....IMO!

Send a PM to AD15- I think he knows of or has worked with someone.

Any more details?

:thumbup: Especially like the first pic in the second group. Great stuff.

Very interested in this saw.....but I need a new saw fairly soon as my 200 is starting to show its age severely....Shame we cant get it before the vat increase.(unless you're vat registered of course....!)

Girlfriend????? You just try marrying them....:lol:

The 6th grade science teacher, Mrs. Parks, asked her class, 'Which human body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?' No one answered until little Mary stood up and said, 'You should not be asking sixth graders a question like that! I'm going to tell my parents, and they will go and tell the Principal, who will then fire you!' Mrs. Parks ignored her and asked the question again, 'Which body part increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?' Little Mary's mouth fell open. Then she said to those around her, 'Boy, is she going to get in big trouble!' The teacher continued to ignore her and said to the class, 'Anybody?' Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously, and said, 'The body part that increases 10 times its size when stimulated is the pupil of the eye.' Mrs. Parks said, 'Very good, Billy,' then turned to Mary and continued. 'As for you, young lady, I have three things to say: One, you have a dirty mind. Two, you didn't read your homework. And three, one day you are going to be very, VERY disappointed.'
