haha i can't talk about mushrooms.. mine look like dumbbells, having another go over the weekend on some high stumps i left a while back, i'll post pics of them but don't expect anything fancy:biggrin:

i'd say thats a hornbeam going on the bark, almost muscular branches and stem and shape of the leaves:thumbup1:

i'm going to check my chip pile, i love haribo snakes mmm

Lapd is gone and Forestery Mog is here, thought I would treat her to a paint job, little bit of welding and a freshen up.

bit of black paint on the wheels and it'll look better than new:thumbup1:

Ok this is my entry. Just took 10 mins so still a bit rough but would rather try out different styles etc before sanding etc

nice......... landy:lol:

the pics with the tree n strip of low cloud are ace:thumbup1:

is work not hard enough anymore?

got one to fell next week, looked healthy last year but now most of the bark has fallen off and its terminal, lovely firewood:biggrin:

use a second method of attaching yourself to the tree while you advance your first anchor point, that way you have your hands free and never fall. i'm guessing by your question you haven't been on a climbing course? this would be a very good idea to keep you safe. all the best. Ed.

We tried to break it again but it coped. This Cedar must weigh close to 400kg.

 

Flipping heavy and it did start making a few interesting noises but the wood it out and away!

aww poor lad at the back looks like he's been dragging the log and his mate up a steep lawn, whens the motorised version out?

i cant remember the last time i had a `saw`in a`dealers, fixed my own for donkeys yrs,` dont folk carry spare saws`??

can't remember the last time i had time to fix a saw, good job i have a few spare saws:biggrin:

gotta be attractive to something though, right?

or leave them attached to the tree/roots, shouldn't be that hard.. just do a standard arb 'high felling cut'.

had a fun little job recently where even mr rainfords pencil sharpener was too big, seven flights of uneven narrow steps, a steep gravel slope and a 2ft drop had to be negotiated. we had to dismantle the chipper into five bits to get it there! once onsite and reassembled it did a cracking job. very nice customer provided breakfast and lunch with plenty drinks and even helped move branches and split/stack logs. Rob might have pics of the chipper in bits for you all to laugh about:biggrin:

no time for playing with the tools here, i've got a working holiday up in scotland coming up so may find time then (fingers crossed)

worn them all day yesterday and no problems, miracle cure..just bung them in the freezer:thumbup1:

the key word here is SOLD! you mug:lol:

maybe you could suggest a ballpark price for one swedish candle? obviously living in yorkshire i'd have to half the price to sell any:lol:

how about trying a cat flea collar on each ankle

just got my boots out of the freezer, if i still get bitten tomorrow then its flea collar time! just hope they defrost in time:thumbup1:

3way tippy sounds very handy:thumbup1:

Exactly the same here! Had thought it was my socks despite repeated washing. Boots in freezer then?

thats what google says, only a frost will kill them. icecream for supper, need to make room in the freezer

a ladder in yer tights?

just googled harvest mites thanks, looks like the boots are going for a holiday in the freezer to kill them. hope it works:thumbup1:

everytime i wear my 'good' haix's my feet and ankles come out with red marks and a bit sore. is it possible something has sneaked in there, likes it and enjoys a free meal most days? it doesn't happen when i wear my old boots or my trainers. is there a way of fumigating them without harming my precious boots? i've been leaving them outside incase i bring beasties into the house:blushing:

a 576xp blows the 460 out of the water

ooh goody, a chainsaw ringing up race on the cards then? i've got some elm in the yard if you fancy?

the angle of this one makes me look like a dwarf.. or am i really one?
