    i never used to be a huge fan of bugs, but now after taking ivy and conifers and ivy covered conifers down and having the natural world crawling all over me, im not massively bothered anymore! had one of those ones with really long legs and a tiny body crawling on my face once, went to brush it off, had my visor down. took me a few swipes to realise what was happening! the big spiders that you find in the bath or under the toilet seat still creep me out a little though! i wouldnt like to find one of these blighters though!

    It's got some new tyres on now. Not sure which ones. As it will be mainly on turf a 50/50 tyre is usually chosen. It's just a clear coat I think. It was about £210 if I recall correctly. Worth it IMO. Keeps the value and keeps away the scratches!

    It's making the mirrors jealous! Will post some more pics when it's built up for work. Replacing what my hilux was. As a sprayer. Will look good with a red boom!

    This fine specimen was collected from Carlisle this afternoon. 140bhp 110 hi cap Coated in a ceramic gloss which is scratch resistant and never needs waxing. Will always stay this shiny!

    I agree Steve they are some cracking photos. If I can get a full size photo of them. I can work with them and make something quite cool! The last one has a lot of blur. But I can give it a go.

    drew, i can work with a couple of those, can you send me the full picture for numbers 1, 4 6 and 8. Got a good idea as i could merge a couple together!

    I tend to use one file for 2-3 sharpens of a chain. After that it doesn't have the same edge and takes longer to file! The stihl hand file kits are good for a quick sharpen at lunchtime or at the end of the day. The bar mounted sharpeners are good as they keep all the angles the same. Grinders I tend to limit to when a chain is battered.

    Do you laugh more if you can relate more to his lyrics? Hehe

    Our resident armchairarborist (who seemed to just love my armchair) has a few pics. But is baffled by technological stuff! Plus he doesn't have a cardreader or cable as he threw then away!

    Very nice new toy Dave makes me want our new one even more now! Shane I can't use ours as an arb truck though Loving how shiny it is! Bet that won't last!

    I have the Oregon bench mounted one. It's good when you get the hang of it. If you go too quick you'll knacker the cutters and turn them blue! I have two of the bar mounted hand sharpeners. If you take your time with them I've had it cutting quicker than a new chain! I have a dremel kit also. You need a steady hand for that though Out on site I have the plain old hand file. I use pretty much everything. Depending how I feel.
  17. RobRainford
    Well I'm sure you could get them from a night on the town.

    Was a good day today. Got a few videos of a zipline set up. Some superman poses and something for mr blair A mid air lunge!

    Thats what 90% o this industry is anyway! Making ourselves look fancy!
  22. RobRainford
    I know it's low if it's level. By ever so slightly higher it's less than a chain width. So no huuuge difference.
  23. RobRainford
    It's not low it's even! It's ever so slightly higher at the far side.

    Here's an addition of my own Cherry takedown. Left the hinge wide to keep it steady as it was being hand pulled

    I'll be there in my little French motor and may need a drag across a field if it's bad. But it's usually ok! I'll be getting there between half 10/11
