-

-
after having very limited amount of work things are looking up got phone call yesterday can i come fell a couple of dead hawthorns so went there today felled them they obviously thought i was good at what i was doing so they said could i dismantle this 100ft popular gave them price said thats fine done it they were well impressed so they said come back and dismantle two 90ft ash trees and a 30ft holly and a 70ft oak tree so im right chuffed with my self finally got sum decent looking work comeing in
-
the job was to reduce the crown by nearly 50% if i remember right so it was ment to be rounded but they tell me what to do and i cant disagree they pay me at end of day i just wanted know what other people thought about this subject thats all
-
things like this reduction last year to me this isnt a good or finished job but customer was happy company who got this job told me where cut it said it was finished and to come down and they were happy with it
-
basically me up the tree they tell me where they want me cut it i do what they wanted but where they wanted me cut it makes it looks a mess
-
point i have is that if i leave a tree looking awful its still me that was up the tree and done it and its my name on my t-shirt so i dont want people thinking that this is my idea of a finished job just wondered how everyone else felt about it
-
thats what i have been doing just going along with it just wondered if anyone did job till they were happy with it them selfs
-
what do you people do if youre subbed into do the climbing like a reduction and the company your working for say the finished job is spot on but youre not happy with how it looks what do you do???

cheers ive got the 12volt oregon sure sharp one for actually on site sharpening but im after a bench mounted one for back at workshop really for takeing the main use for all my sharpening
-
no worrys cheers anyways
-
is it easy enough to set up cause i no some of the grinders ive seen have loads knobs that turn and adjust but never no what they do i havent seen the oregon one only in photos i guess once you get it set up its easy to use
-
what kind is the grinder your selling? cheers
-
just cause since i got my husky 3120 with 42inch bar and 30inch just takes me ages to sharpen and often big chains 1 side will b slightly sharper than other side and ive got 5 saws keep sharp just be easier and outcome will be alot sharper if i get one
-
am interested in buying a bench mounted chain sharpener i no oregon do a good one but i saw the price tag and wondered if any body has any good easy sharpeners or should i just save up and buy oregon one cheers
-
