Nice John. Where was that..?

LMFAO Great response mate. I take it you mean amateur , as opposed to an electrical component. It was an old guy doing it on his own......

Well the gob was ok....but it stopped there! Like others have said. They should have put the gob in, then bored in behind it to create the hinge, cut away from the hinge toward the back of the trunk, leaving about a 10% hold at the back, withdraw the saw and then sever the holding timber at the back, allowing a controlled fell, and NO barbers chair. Do this for any tree with a lean or heavily weighted in the direction you want to fell it.

Saw this in Falmouth today, and just had to get some pics for you lot....... I offered my services, to which the owner of the property (i assume) replied "i've got permission to cut them down":laugh1:

AAAC scheme public consultation.... The summary report.
tommer9 replied to Andy Clark's topic in General chat
Thanks for taking the time to answer Paul. I really feel that Skyhucks point is the crux of the stumbling point for most of us. Most of us are small firms of boss and one or two employees.The amount of time effort and money required puts AAAC out of realistic rach of the vast majority of arb busineses in this country, ESPECIALLY given how little the AA means to the kind of customers we attract- Mrs Miggins one tree in her garden, who when asked about the AA thinks it is an rehabilitation service or a road rescue service. Until AA accreditation is recognised and promoted in the same way as (eg) corgi for gas, then it will always be seen as a huge waste of time and effort for small firms. Coupled with that is the fact that there are firms who do not exactly excel in the quality they produce (trying to be tactful here) and yet are AAAC. They have the money and time to get on the scheme, we dont. simple as. (rant rant sorry -
AAAC scheme public consultation.... The summary report.
tommer9 replied to Andy Clark's topic in General chat
Brilliant point mate. Is it any wonder that there are so few AA members (no AAAC in cornwall anymore AT ALL) when they waste their time and effort on stupid questionnaires to which only a minimal %age of industry members reply, and then try to encourage more of us to part with (extremely) hard earned cash to join a scheme that means sweet FA to most of the public. Get off you rpedestal AA and start actually promoting us, the guys on the ground, in the eyes of the public, and a few more of us might start considering jumping through the hoops and paying the fees, instead of essentially branding a large proportion of the industry as unproffessional by default. -

Tommy you are truly a master of what you do. I think the depth and life you bring to the wood are both amazing and really 'otherworldly'.....Fabulous stuff.

Nice wee vid steve. Looks like a lovely site mate. Was it for a pipeline did you say? I am back on a job i did a month on last year clearing out non oaks from ancient woodland near falmouth for a month starting next week- your vid means i cant wait to get back to straight felling. Nice.

Split tail is a length of rope of similar diameter to your average climbing line, with an eye at one end. They come in various lengths up to 5m long usually, and can be used as a flipline or positioning lanyard. The rope you would make any friction hitch from is of a smaller diameter and easier to wind round your climbing line. For a basic reccy kit you could get away with one rope, 2 prussic loops (or equivalent), 2 krabs and a harness, and of course some good boots and a helmet.

Very lucky escape....like has been said, fair play for posting it mate. You can tie the bottom of the ladder to the tree if you dont have a spare bod to foot it.......or just get rid of the ladder... Hope you heal soon and with no repercussions.
