  1. was that including getting undressed:sneaky2:
  2. that looks like a pretty good program youve got. i like what youve done.
  3. congratulations on the find. i'm sure no picture could do it justice or come any where near to how it must be to look at something like that in the flesh (or wood!)
  4. funny, when i first saw rupes picture i thought that was telly savalles. dirty dozen?
  5. i know but only because i cheated, so i wont spoil it.
  6. i havnt used that wax22 yet, i've been meaning to get some. ordered the replacement toolrest holder today, that was an expense i could of done without, only 37 quid delivered so not too bad.
  7. ah that makes abit more sense. i suppose for a three day course theres only so much they can fit in, i would think that the sort of knowledge of cause and effects of what you are inspecting would need a lot more attention ie, college, uni, books, on the job training etc. then the PTI would teach you how to apply that knowledge? i love the bit about it being too risky to deam someone qualified, just another example of how this modern day claim culture complicates things. will quals cease to exist in years to come.
  8. ethan hawke / training day / ????
  9. very nice pieces ian, i really like the grain in the bowl and thats a nice piece of yew. glossy finish, what wax did you use?
  10. hi jonathan, the recovery's still going well thanks for asking. i'm back up the hospital next week for the results of a CT scan i had last week. if the results show that the bone is uniting well then they will consider loosening the frame a little to see how i cope with putting more weight through the bone. they are still saying i'm doing exceptionly well so i'm pretty confident about the results. i will keep you all up to date on what happens next week. thanks, dave.
  11. ok i'm a little confused now. from the posts i'm reading i'm gettiing that the PTI course is neither a training course or a qualification. so my questions are how do i go about learning how to in depthly inspect trees and what is the point of doing the PTI course, what's to gain? i too done the BTI course today and found it very useful and interesting. my intention was to do the PTI course at some point in the future thinking that it was a more intense version of the BTI and with a qualification at the end if you pass. ????
  12. best wishes for you and your family nick.

    kick back

    WTF! what was the point in that vid, what was he trying to demonstrate. the most beneficial bit of that was it showed the inertia brake works, but i dont think that was his intention.
  14. like others have said my kids are what make me proud and my amazing wife. they are the inspiration for me in everything i do and strive to achieve.
  15. not your everyday job! what was it all for?
  16. this should be an interesting thread steve, good question.
