  1. ok. a bit boring i guess
  2. Hopefully someone might find this interesting. I won't over saturate this thread with loads of pictures, just when i have one or two vaguely interesting pictures. I'll start with some simple bark textures and what an old tree's fingerprint might look like...
  3. i believe keeping his house free of clutter and very simple to find things will help.

    sthil ms 261

    400 grams heavier is fine. Remember it has reduced vibes, 20% improvement on fuel efficiency, 40% less emmissions and a third of a horse more powerful!
  5. Ty Unnos - Husky and Stihl parts are both easy to get a hold of, Stihl slightly more so and a bit cheaper. I would get the 15" bar as having to do a double bar cut on small trees would annoy me. Get the 261 with its low emissions, run with aspen, bio oil and enjoy a healthy life!
  6. the new stihl ms 261 with 15" bar
  7. bump from last year
  8. Not technically great photos owing to the iphone's crap camera but i'll start it off with a beech dismantle (one of 15 to do over the next few days!) Brrr.....
  9. I can vouch for the above pair ^ I bought them from clarkes last winter and they were very warm and grippy on the rope. Now not so water proof after a year and demoted to cold yard duties For me, just standard builders gloves when dry. When wet, i have found the husky chainsaw gloves to be very grippy - despite having a drenched, sludgy rope.
  10. bare in mind the rope grab can't adjust under load.
  11. how did this job go in the end?
  12. hopefully this thread will be of some use. quite interesting.... http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/20678-contender-most-awkward-job-year-award.html

  14. here you go €1m stolen plant machinery recovered - RTÉ News
  15. Where's the 'Tesco Value Bagless Vacuum' option?
  16. Cool, make sure you get a soft box for it - makes alot of difference for close up subjects. It gets rid of the harsh shadows formed by the flash. Got this one a few weeks ago, works really well for portraits. Universal Studio SoftBox Flash Diffuser for Nikon Canon on eBay (end time 01-Jan-11 16:53:13 GMT)
  17. They look awesome! Are you using an external flash or just the pop up one?
