i'd rather the brakes did their job and sacrificed themselves to make me safe than last for years doing little:001_cool: more friction? yes please:001_smile:

its down for up so if you fall on the lever you dont get the chop, it goes up instead..

makes sense:001_tt2:

cool toy:thumbup:

cut through until you see the cut starting to close up, then pull the saw out and start the next cut, when you get far enough along the log or get to a place with a decent gap underneath you can cut all the way through and roll the log over to finish the last bits.

looks like mrs price has been driving it, check out the kerbed tyres and front wing:thumbup:

my bro texted me to watch it as it started, i enjoyed that, makes me want to plant more trees, im doing my bit by recommending all my clients to have something planted as its planting season again..

but its worth it to see that truck.. i bet if two blokes sat on the tailgate the front wheels would be waggling:001_tt2:

that looked a fun job..

that was a good day out, roll on the next one:thumbup1:

the best builders type gloves are made by marigold and are pretty hard to track down, i think they are about £2/pair, not waterproof but last longer than the cheapies, have good grip and dont get torn off in the prussic as easy:001_smile:

daldinia concentrica? in cunning brown disguise:thumbup:

its more a case of your safety, if something happens to you what happens then? scenario.. you are up a tree, boss not about or out of reach of ladder rescue, round the back of a building where fire service can't get truck near. its not worth it to you and the people who care about you, i'm not doubting your abilities as a climber to work safely, fair enough if your boss doesn't know current practice yet but you need to tell him its not right to work this way. Ed.

them brainiacs were nearly toast, hope nobody got zapped

rob has that one i think tom, heres ray's aerial lunge, rob climbing, rob on his landy roof, no thats not the end of the zipline, and another pic of that beastly landy:thumbup:

Look at the plonker with the orange helmet

i think it suits you tom..

couple more, clearing a path for the zip line over the stinkwater pond:thumbup: recreational climbing can be fun, depends how you look at it, its nice to chill out at the top of a tree:001_smile:

just a few from today..

just got in from an ace day.. thanks for organising it rob, nice to meet everyone, im watching avatar on dvd so i'll log back in later, (cant wait to see the big tree on pandora again..!)

what suping tea

council is having cutbacks, teabags get used 3times now and there are talks of going onto brown sugar and cheap biccies:001_tt2:

If a chipper is plant could you not use the saws with red aswell I dunno so please enlighten me

aye when you get yourself a diesel chainsaw:thumbup:

gosh we're going to look like a bunch of japanese tourists with our cameras:001_tt2:

I use these, they are REALLY waterproof, and cheap (relatively)

And I never have to put anything on them.

 

('course, you would look a bit of a pranny trying to get up a tree in them:thumbdown:)

hahaha yes i accidently went wading in the haixes last month and they took a few days to dry out fully, i couldn't find my old pair straight away so worked in the chainsaw wellies, uncomfy or what..? and yes i wore spikes and dismantled a couple of cherries with them on.. ouch:blushing:

there's the newish vw twin cab pickup too:001_tt2:

this thread has a nice international feel to it.. come down on red did they?
