    if you want one exactly like that then the general idea on here is cover yourself in a layer of dead excrement and you will be given one for free,

    fallen out with oak now, been burning just oak for about a week and ok the fires still going in the morning but the heat output is pretty naff, i had to move the sofa up to the fire just to feel it.. it was cut down last january, split straight away and stacked in the dry woodstore, can't wait to finish it off and get back to beech and syccie:001_cool:

    lucky you darren, my woman stays home all day and doesn't cook my food or clean my house or walk my dogs, she cracked a bunch of ribs lastweek falling on the ice:thumbdown: so i'll let her off this time, i even bought her some flowers to look at, hopefully she will answer the door for my fungal winnings:thumbup:

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6YVPVbpHXo&annotation_id=annotation_19644&feature=iv]YouTube - Behind the Scenes - .50 Cal William Tell[/ame] wonder if darren edits his felling vids like this?

    dunno i wasn't going to touch it just incase, scraped it off with a bit of kindling and popped that into the fire basket..when in doubt - kill and burn:blushing:

    or just a hairy slug? found on a piece of beech in one of the firewood stores in the yard.

    i was expecting to see a bunch of angry eco-lesbians trying to slow down a chainsaw gang, thats brilliant:laugh:

    ash and sycamore eh? more like 'yellow ash' (willow) to me:thumbup:
  10. armchairarborist
    nearly 3ft baby yeah:thumbup: even though we mostly only use the bottom 1ft:blushing: had a go at splitting longer stuff because it stacks better:001_smile:
  11. armchairarborist
    no offence intended, everything looks slower on playback, i just have no patience, i sit there screaming at trafficlights:biggrin:
  12. armchairarborist
    are them saws blunt or were you just being cautious? sweet controlled fell on the stick:thumbup1:
  13. armchairarborist
    you set the standard far too high..i quit! only joking i got a cool idea from watching that, nice vid.
  14. armchairarborist
    just got all set up for a good days work lastweek, six guys working away dismantling 2x sensible sized ash trees when the one chipper onsite started misfiring under load:thumbdown:, it was quickly traced to ice cubes inside the fuel filters:blushing: they were melted out using the exhaust on deans mewp and back to work (phew) within 20mins:thumbup1:
  15. armchairarborist
    mister moneybags, i'd have gone for the £10 bearings:thumbup:
  16. armchairarborist
    Dangerous POV Biker - Jokeroo hate the rush hour traffic? the crazy bit is from the middle to the end.. i just watched this a second time.. heatbeats racing

    the book that came with my iw lm105 says steam clean/jetwash after every use to retain its shiny clean galv, yeh right like thats going to happen, but a good steam cleaner should get the worst off and maybe a wax up will stop it getting so bad:thumbup:, mines black at the moment:thumbdown:
  18. armchairarborist
    a couple of my snowy pics..
  19. armchairarborist
    the only times i have to submit a scale map is for the felling licences from the forestry commission, and they usually send one out for me to mark up, good eh? for conservation area apps just a readable scribble map on the tpo form is ok, if they want any more get them to help you with it:thumbup:
  20. armchairarborist
    watched that (at least the second half), as with most bbc programmes it was ruined by them telling me not to burn (overpriced) fossil fuels and me ignoring them, apart from that i enjoyed it, and the bit i caught the other week:thumbup1:
  21. armchairarborist
    thats why you are called jammydodger then, you jammydodger:thumbup:
  22. armchairarborist
    ah thats ok then, i had visions of him bashing nails into competitors booked in jobs then cutting the heads off, we just had a couple of ash trees chock full of nails/steel brackets:thumbdown:, now we're running low on files:thumbup:
  23. armchairarborist
    whats the hacksaw for?
  24. armchairarborist
    comedy viewing right from not letting the rigged limbs run, just run a bit and crash into the stem creating the mess you would get from felling, i understand the step cut displayed and you do it to save manual handling/extra dump fees but the dude with the yellow hat belongs in a circus, just holding the saw by the rear handle with two hands, not using the chainbrake and chipping good firewood. ok i know you were posing:thumbup:
  25. armchairarborist
    i like the rollytube thing, it's an obvious upgrade to the twig i use that does the same thing, it it just a steel pin or is there a sleeve round it?
