its true mate, although not like, cant move freeze, just real tight sore muscles, not nice atall, got to make sure its all out too, as small shards under your skins is not good either, all in all, a delightful species!

fully agree with all above, also when blocking down the trunks, best to bore into it, rather than cut in from the sides, makes life much easier, and stops the fibres closing on the saw as much. did a 16 month stint in Perth western aus, some big dirty old canary island date palms there! had a 2 week palm tidying contract at Perth zoo, man! the critters that we found in those palms attracted by all the animal feed! long sleeves, gloves, elastic bands on your wrists and ankles and a scuba set if you can too!! got spiked good too, the toxins in those palm tips will freeze muscles, had a trip to A&E too with a 4 inch splinter! mmmm nice. good luck mate.

nice one fellas, i'm in total agreement re the bulldog 'springbok' rakes, always got one of those in the truck for a bit of raking in the rough stuff/bigger stuff. anymore opinions on plastic rakes for tarmac, fine lawns etc? cheers J

hi guys, just wondered if you could recommend any good rakes you use day to day, need to order more as last batch is worn out. when we receive thank you letters from clients, they usually all comment on a good tidy up at the end of the job, so these little fellas are very important bits of kit. we have the standard smallish rectangle grass rake, not amazing, but works ok. In Oz the tree crew i worked for had some really nice wide tapering rake heads, and on the backside, was a flexy plastic blade for pushing sawdust and debris on a hard surface. very handy! so come on guys, lets have your trade secrets!

That's a handy cut to know! A few of the younger pups sometimes show this old dog some new tricks, after doing their CS30/31, I did my CS 10/11 well over 10 years ago! just a couple of questions, whats the benefit of removing the cambium layer before the sloping back cut, is it necessary? Also, would this cut work safely if the tree was under tension ie, if it was being winched to a leaning position in order to miss a target? I have done this before and had a bit of a barbers chair incident, not nice, so this cut will defo be put into the memory bank. Thanks for sharing. J

Evening All, Looking forward to the Celebration of Trees at Capel Manor tomorrow, but need to fuel up with a good fry up before the event! Can anyone recommend a decent sit down cafe for us to get the banter started early please!? Thanks in anticipation Johnno

a brilliant project all round, anything like this which will inspire even a handful of young, impressional minds, on the importance and majesty of trees is so very worthwhile. good on you Will and your team for your crucial part in this. i'll be sure to head there soon. ditto about the snazzy balistics! black is so last year!
