  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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???
  6. 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
  7. no worrys cheers anyways
  8. 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
  9. what kind is the grinder your selling? cheers
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. cheers i wont give in without a fight i mean even if i have join forces and keep my hand in at weekends at least i could come back to it that way still lots people in worse position than me i spose least i havent got to many bills or a morgage to pay or debts yet
  13. theres a few jobs going on there ive contacted a few but no luck so far got one job accepted when i traveled to lincoln nd back every day for 3 months but that was a very bad experience with that company hope there not all like that company knocked my confidence abit bein told i wasnt good enough all time and yet every1 else ive worked with says im alright
  14. ive got advert in local mag had a few jobs frm it but nothin tht pays really ive contacted all firms in county with cv and phoned them up at least twice each still nothing problem i have is i could advertise more but then i have problem of i dont have chipper get rid of stuff and i cant afford all insurance costs or the running costs of a chipper for the amount of work that i would get so im stuck and i really dont want to give up ive tryed getting part time bar work etc to help but no luck got my parents on my back saying i need more work and i cant keep goin doin sumtimes couple days sumtimes no days a week what can i do
  15. ive tryed traveling ive contacted all firms even some quite far away i used to get up at 4.30am drive to 70miles to lincoln and drive back home never got home before 10pm did that for 3 months everyday but now theres just nothing really nothing i dont want to give it up but i just cant stick with my income at the moment its not enough
  16. unfortunatly going to have to give up tree surgery i think been scraping through for 3 years now but the resession has finally really done it which really sucks basically all ive earned ive spent on equipment so close to setting up on my own but i sub to both of the tree companys in the area and there dryed up so looks like im gunna have to join forces or something
  17. lol it was highlight of my week damn fenceing
  18. was my bday yesterday was 19. happy bday ur self.
  19. got home from work and my birthday cake was sitting there must have taken my misses ages to make it only thing is she made a stihl not husqvarna
  20. neither get hot enough with out hot drinks cant stand them
  21. unless timberwolf are takeing that stastisic from the 150 turbo never used one of them so i dunno how much faster the turbo 150 is
  22. depends what your sticking threw them in my experience 150 chips logs alot faster than 125 just for fact its got alot more power wouldnt have said it was twice as fast though
  23. being a good tree worker could be a groundy or a climber dont always need to climb a tree to do tree work
  24. just gotta look at the price lists for stihl and husqvarna stihl r more expensive just look at the 880 vs 3120xp nearly 200quid difference in them
