  1. It wasn't all that big as wellingtonias go here, it was more the volume that made up the size. 7ft (ish) diameter at felling height:biggrin:
  2. Last ones..
  3. Been working in Wheathampstead Wednesday to Friday this week. Few pics from the job Got it all brashed out the first day, then all the timber down by lunch the second day. My first attempt at milling so go easy The main stem was too big for the 48" alaskan so had to be ripped down to size.
  4. Just arrived at kew, should be a grand day out!
  5. Hi mate, I'd guess you'll be working but I'm visiting Kew on tuesday, if you are free and fancy a beer let me know:thumbup:

  6. He's smarter than you think, the first one was a quick exit because he realised he forgot his helmet:lol:
  7. If you were using the hitchless roller with a frog walker system and the hand ascender failed, and came down onto the top of the roller, would it be disengaged or is the release/descend mode a particular action that wouldn't be affected?
  8. Have you still got your alaskan?

  9. Lots of descenders out there, simplest way to do it is a munter hitch with a prussik backup, right up to the big money petzl ID
  10. If you're set on SRT, a swivel is fairly irrelevant, though the petzl ring idea sounds good. Either that or fit the rings and a sequoia bridge, the swivel will fit that too. I'd check anything with your loler inspector BEFORE making any mods though
  11. Interesting how they seem to have a flat cut on top...pyroclastic flow or similar perhaps?
  12. I guess I'm in too late to be of any help but good on you guys, this thread is a testament to the power of Arbtalk and the validity of online communities:thumbup:
  13. Somehow I missed that you'd replied. No not yet, looking to buy or build now. Been away working most of the last few weeks so not made much difference recently

  14. You could punt out a bit from the limb with your spare foot and give a big stride on the pantin to get past, just make sure your fingers are clear when you come back into the limb.
  15. Any converts from trying out the wrench at the arb show demo's? Had a play with the unicender and rw together, makes the uni much smoother in full descent mode, possibly the next step from the lockjack/rw combo?
  16. Not sure, they must have been blazing though! Anyone know if the full results have been published yet?
  17. Try Nigel Sargesson, the lincs tree and woodland officer. Amazing carver!
  18. Well done arran, I missed all of the comp, well most of the show really, was too busy with the demos!
  19. I'll join you
  20. Hi mate, you still working or gone travelling?

  21. No, I meant what I put but in reference to his "sexy" VT
  22. Yeah, it's another compact climbing system for work positioning etc.
