Nice stuff deano. Ian Leach can give you endless advice on finishing oils, but i love Tung oil for food use, and danish oil for everything else. I think there may be a problem with nut allergy sufferers for Tung oil though.

Go where the money is, i am on the train to Plymouth at the moment (PDA as modem- top stuff) which is hour and a half on the train or in the landy, but 1/4 of the price if i go on the train, and the gear i need is already on site. When needs must, the devil drives, as they say.....

I would support what Treeworld said, although i dont know any companies in your area as such, but utility work is the best place to get loads of bad habits.......sorry, i mean loads of experience on the saw LOL.

There is a LOT of reactive growth round those wounds Frank, and given the size of the tree i would climb it, but any shock loading from rigging would have to be kept to the absolute minimum to say the least....

Brilliant idea. I had a sea of mud too until recently when i struck a deal with a skip company who are based ust down the road......they bring me clean rubble for nowt- everyones a winner!!!I have just piled up the mud like you are doing and have put a couple of hundred tons down so far. Such a relief..

It was a real treat to find it....I had seen pics in the fungi book and thought 'wow!' but never expected to actually find an example of one. Its about 2.5" across Stevie.

Job creation mate- you'll have work to go back to.....did you stuff all the arisings in the nearest layby for good measure LOL

Was working for Timber Cutter Dartmoor on tuesday on a clearance, and came across this little beauty...I think its a scarlet elf cup, and its preferred habitat is mossy dead hardwood, here on blackthorn twig.

It does tony, and you did. If you are able to make the decision, then it is probably the right one....if you see what i mean

Sorry to hear about the dog Tony, we had the same with the terrier back in december.....had her 16 years, but had to make the decision after suspected liver failure.....

David as long as you are running a hyd winch which i believe both ramseys are (or PTO winch,) you can get away with a 3,5 tonner and snatch block. These winches will also take the strain of pulling deadweight with loads of friction to overcome which is the reality of winching timber around.
-
Cant help you on the ramsey front david, sorry. Are you going with ramsey, or is it one of a few contenders still (without trawling back through the thread...sorry)?

A what? :laugh1:

This is the bottom line unfortunately. There is such an excess of unskilled labour in this country that employers can get away with paying next to nothing as there will always be someone else ready to step in at a pittance wage than be on the dole. This will only become worse if/ when the government introduce benefits schemes such as in the states, where you have a limit to how long you can claim benefit and then you have to fend fo yourself.

IMO there are 2 times and 2 times only where 1 handing is ABSOLOUTELY NOT ON, and they are 1:whilst on a training course, and 2:on your assesment. The rest of the time is down to the climber. End of story.

I nearly went for one of these dean, but i am so hacked off with n series NO-kias that i went for an HTC HD2.....like an i phone but not so much a toy, and a camera to rival the nokias. Hope you get on ok with it.

They are like the ones on my vermeer- overengineered american kit....you cant beat it.
