    well, I am glad this was posted, i think its a great idea, just another way of marking your kit, but VERY discretley. you pays your money and makes your choices. iether way thanks for pointing it out.

    I have suffered greatly from theft, but unlike most on here I do know that often enough it is found, but equaly as often, they cant connect a haul to its owners, and so they cannot prosecute the holder on those items. I was even asked by a copper to go to a warehouse they had hit to see if I recognised any of my kit as they was desperate to have this guy. it was a big outfit warehouse and all, no small fry. MARK YOUR KIT, you DO stand a chance of getting it back, but these guys get away with it because of numbnutts who "cant be bovverd innit"
  5. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    listen guys, its 25 quid right? to have a unique ID linking the kit back to you, what the hell cant you see being benificial?

    Asymetrical Mohican
    Top bit of shaping, technicaly a "round over" but So the right thing for fastigiate hornbeams
  13. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I know what you mean and total agreement from me! Ive wanted a set up like that but with a small timberwolf for ages.

    I Always treat these stubs the same, clean as possible as though making a target prune to an ordinary limb removal. this also has the bonus of, occlusion or callous coverying the wounded exposed xylem in time, and the inrolled occlusions can often give great strength to the cavity they roll into. imagine how much rigidity a buckets rim gives it? try and cut the rim of and fill with water! good demo

    good luck on the proscess, watch your game the assesors will find the corners cut! we had an old prussick that had gone down the back of the bench found on an assesment, it was asked why it was there and not binned! It was light hearted, but they will go through you with a fine tooth comb! get your guys into good habits for at least 2 weeks before the drill! they will slip, I did, my visor!

    This is influenced 100% by corporate drive, research requires funding, and no corporation is going to fund a profitless research project, it is down to us, as hard as that is to buy our own tools, use our own time to "expose" the REAL goings on. I know of at least on High profile researcher that gave up research due to corporate "influence" money rules the world, sad but true.

    I have always wondered about this conflict of interest debate, after all isnt the advice you give as a contractor on quotation for the work the same as a report given by a consultant that amounts to the same thing? Is it conflict of interest, or just a way for the "academics" to keep those jobs for the "boys"
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    no go on you might be able to give me an alternative opinion that changes my thoughts on doing that!
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    brown rot, saprobe, not invasive, so probably a good thing on this cut helping defend against more serious fungi!
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    judging from what I can see yours is indeed messenterica, those little fruit bodies are most likely a form of peniophora, this thread has been most constructive for me! Now I will know whats what when i see these pretty little fungi
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I would say yes, but i am still looking into the Peniophora that goes with it, the little fungal fruit bodies on the bark in your image may well be thus, and confirm the identity
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    So you dont subscribe to the profesional opinion that this has conflict of interest issues?
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Yes, to allow occlusion. I know what your going to say!
