its a stark reminder, when you work with really (potentially) dangerous tools all the time, it's easy to afford a lot less care to the day to day tools, i have made real messes of my hands before, but never with a power tool. i stabbed myself in the wrist and sent the stanley blade in all the way to the hilt, very nearly severing my tendons and my artery a few years ago, and i have cut down to the(and into the) bone twice in almost the same place on my left hand whilst cutting timber with a handsaw, again nicking the tendons. this poor sod was "only doing a bit of a hedge with electric clippers", not running a ms880 over head 100ft up a tree hope he heals quick -

lol, i have a log pile near stapely and i've driven past a few times but it's too busy to park the van for a nosey, my apprentice said we should see if we can get the job of removing it for free for the wood, till i pointed out it would take weeks to chopit up, load it into the van and drop it off, not to mention that we may struggle a little with the 15" bar on my husky 137:lol: nice pics AB, do you do fire wood? got plenty for now but will need a load in early feb

and the best place to buy??

Poplar for Sale!! Been cut for 18 months
slippery replied to Paper Rustler's topic in Firewood forum
is it still for sale? -
was wondering what to get in the chainsaw dept as my husky 137 is ok for what i use it for, a little carpentry, and a fair bit of log bashing for home use, but being a tradesman, i like to have good, solid professional tools and this one is a bit....well, so what's your suggestions, don't mind if it's second hand as long as it's been looked after

Accident Pictures(please view with caution)
slippery replied to john@arbtech's topic in General chat
sure is gorey, but, for the sake of a nosey newbie,what is a ms 200, a 200t and a silky please guys? -
thanks giles, thats a great help. the soil is very dry, shaded, compacted and has a big conifer and a pair of rowan at one side. the land has been largely left since the build ( 30 yrs),just grass cut and removed so i'm trying to enrich it. have planted loads of trees and most doing very well. do i get this gypsum from a farmers suppliers or break up some plaster board?

LOL i'm a carpenter/builder and people think that about me, one woman told me all the travelling and appointments she had to make to earn £100 as a self employed teaching mentor, when i charged £180 for a days work for my apprentice and i (a discount of £50), i asked how much employers/public/accident insurance was and if she uses many tools...tw*t:banghead:
-
but yeah, sorry , you need a structural engineer, i know a very good one if you get stuck
-
plenty of supports are the answer, timber has incredible crush resitance, you could do it with a 3x 2 if you ,had enough supports
-
Also, i seem to recall an argument about whether to sprinkle a little chicken down before mulching Don`t know if the chicken will like that lol i originaly wrote a word after "chicken" but site mod took it off (sorry)

ISTR something about causing more harm than good by fertilising at the wrong time, my problem is reading lots but remembering only bits:001_rolleyes:

at this time of year or in spring??

thats what i was thinking anyway, trouble is, there are a couple of real asshole neighbours and a bloke across the back has just installed one and burns all kinds of rubbish, thing is, my flue sticks out over three meters from the roof and you can't see his, so people are going to think its my rotten smoke. never mind though, i've just secured a deal for two ton of logs and he wants some of them, at least he will be burning nice clean stuff for a while
-
has anybody been done or heard of somebody who has been done by the council for burning wood in a smoke controll area? i spent about £3000 installing my burner and connecting the plumbing to run the rads in my house before i bothered to check if it was a controlled area:blushing: it's not the end of the world anyway as its a multifuel, but as i am a joiner, it would be a shame to lose out on all that free fuel. also think it's a bit of a stupid law when wood makes hardly any smoke when its properly dry and there is only one other person on my estate with a burner, we are hardly going to cause a smog!! ps anyone else doing it??
-
bump.... does anyone else have an opinion on this??
-
Joint / pain relief, yes it does!!

well, im in a different field of work and i agree with you all, how many times have you quoted for half a day and it turns into a day and half, like someone said, a quote is a quote, if the customer is not happy, they will get someone else in to do it, personally, i always do a top class job, even when i've shot myself in the foot over the price, thats what makes ACORN JOINERY & BUILDING the best choice for all your building needs!! no, really, i'm not trying to advertise:lol:, but if you've got a shiney trumpet, you should bloody well blow it!!
