    Yeah you are right bit trickier on some of the poles with no lower branches/or bushy connys, i'd better start practicing. To be honest most of the time we just rig at head height too, just now and then its nicer to go a bit higher. Thanks for the replies Kav

    Having a chat a work the other day. Would we need to have full cs38 to spike up trees to put winch cable in? Went on HSE safety day and was shown to use ladder, ratchet strap to tree, put on climbing harness and helmet, take up cable and strop to tree. Seems a lot easier when we have had climber in spikes rather than lugging ladder etc around the woods Cheers

    Winchin'

    kav replied to kav's topic in Video forum

    Cheers chaps Winch is 3.5t and copes fine on what we had as long as stumps are nice n low etc. Brush cutter-yeah i know what you mean, vid doesn't show it but we mainly stacked small stuff so easier for tractor. Might look at getting self releasing pulley block so we can turn full length poles 90degrees when they get to top.

    Bits of walnut

    kav replied to john p's topic in Milling Forum

    I'm in Oxford and have some largish lumps of walnut in yard if anyone is interested. I'm planning to mill it but would be happy to send some to a good home. It was a lot darker when we first cut it. Cheers Kav 07703192775

    Thanks for the feed back, much appriciated. Will get oiling. Yeah lovely wood and smells great. Going to try and track down some more. the legs are counter sunk and fixed with timberloc and then made some dowels to fit. Will try for all timber fixings next time

    Evenin' Had a go a making a bench for a friend. Western red we felled and milled a couple of weeks ago. I know its not ideal time of year for milling etc but short deadline. Is it likely to split too much? I remember reading somewhere WRC isn't too bad and I built a fence out of some years ago and it's still looks ok (I think). Cheers

    Thanks. Not a bad spot for lunch! Amazing building and I was speaking to someone who thought there was the footprints of another 12 in the area!!
