But then, it could have been like this.. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fMnF0Fvdpo]Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen - YouTube[/ame]

Here is one I love to hear, best when you are well chilled & in touch with old memories & good thoughts. With a tinge of regret & loss, just maybe that's what fond memories are made from.. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYcyKZOUsWs]Leonard Cohen : Alexandra Leaving - YouTube[/ame]

On the old cut, as he has not disturbed the occlusion growth I don't see a problem, where he is disturbing the cambium & bark on the trunk carving it's another matter imo.

Nice one! watch your back though!

Taken a few paving jobs recently, don't much like doing it as it kills my bad knee pointing it all up, but things are picking up a bit in the trees again. I am fortunate in as much as I am kitted up to do various types of work, it is great to get the digger out of retirement, hasn't been used since last year!
-
Nope, I don't wear one, I can guess the time mostly within half an hour of what it is, oh the skills you get with age!
-
I am inclined to agree, in a condensed format it might well be worth considering. I have shovelled old chip about, turned my heaps with my digger,etc. so far no real problems, but good straightforward info on the subject could be a good thing imo. Also a thank you to the op.

Me too, this thread is a good heads up to those not aware of the risks.

My first whole tree dismantle, its a monster.

Big tree for sure, I would have gone for dismantle rather than fell too. You did well! -
Sometimes you don't know your doing something you don't want to do until you've done it...

That looks like a fun performance!

The oiling system is sensitive,& could do with an adjuster,but I keep mine clean & it has been ok in the main. Fantastic little saw when used for its intended purpose.

I love reading other peoples work, & there is some on here that I cant help relating to, so a big thanks from me! My writing is off at a friends place at the moment, hence I have not put much up,but will put this right over the next week. Glad I started this thread, there are some funny & some heartfelt works coming out of the woodwork!

Matt, That is a broad spectrum of bikers there, unusual to see, that shows respect to your lost friend .
-
It's a joke, we don't use spikes for pruning work here (uk), only take downs.
-
Nice work Steve, that pointed the tree in the right direction for the future, as has been said.
-
There is a bit of talent in amongst the roughty toughty arb fraternity after all, how very refreshing!
-
Ah, the thread is coming alive now,great work!
-
Well done lads, I knew I wasn't alone in my aspirations!
-
Not the best of saves, but you owe me one!
-
There you go I fixed it for you!

I do a bit of writing from time to time, keep it to myself mostly. But why? So lets see yours! I wrote this tonight, as a message to someone I love desperately, miss: We parted, Then I found myself in a wood, With the damp bluebells, The trees looked down upon my plight, Whilst seemingly closing their great trunks in your wake. The bluebells are wilted & gone now, The light here has turned green, Under the shooting leaves of this years abundance, With little to show come the autumn, But for the pride of a freshly dropped crispy gold blanket. I can close my eyes now, Only to listen, & smell. I can describe in abstract my position, Whilst waiting in hope for you to walk towards me, through the trees. Just as the last of the squirrels looks round & then hibernates. X

Doesn't look to pricey either.

Never heard that from the local provider before, check it out if I were you.
