  3. Cheers Guys. Steve, only the Twig is capable of those kind of feets.
  4. Why did 'sir mix a lot' pop into my head:blushing:
  5. Beautiful pictures there fella.
  6. So here's a quick one i edited today. It only took around 10 minutes. So i'll give a little insight into what i have edited: 1) I've pureged the sky of any real colour to give focus on james as it was a poorly lit day. 2) Enhanced the coulour in james the sign, fence and chipper. 3) Serperatly lightened up the Ash stem. 4) Merged all layers and flattened image around the chogs to give a seemless finish.
  7. You tend to become multi-handed. Im left handed with the handsaw but mainly use my right but whenever its came to climbing, even when i was on a prussik i seemed to use it left or right.
  8. He asked to see it:lol: Think its a good examlpe of a pulley.

  12. Nice vid, Its Called 'Super-awesome-totally-spectacular-saw'
  13. Hi ad15, i've been with adrian flux for years and they have always explained this to me. Yes it works out cheaper per year but you do enter a loan agreement. Its good for me too as i really don't use credit cards but this gives me a good credit history.
  14. Photoshop elements 6. I've just ordered elements 9 which is awesome! Only £45 off amazon too. Yeah, i can't do a complete light change in 6 but will be able to i 9 so i've been trawling through my archives selecting sets that im going to try this on:blushing:
  15. From the weekend. I've only just taught myself how to do this so sorry for the rubbish finish
  16. No real negitives been climbing on it for a few weeks now and did a large-ish dismantle today on it with spikes, no complaints. As for it self feeding above the anchor point i just pull some slack through and add a marl so it can't self feed back through until i want it too. It was the only problem i had to start with, trying to pull yourself up on your strop when thats self tended tight was annoying but easily fixed. Apart from that i love it to bits, made my lockjack redundant over night.
  17. I just dropped some of my broth over me reading this.
  18. 11/12 works best on mine and im using poison ivy too.
  19. I think the groundy is by far the person who makes the time up and site run smoothly. I do feel a lot of people who become climbers don't think of the mess they make below for the groundie to clear up. If i can when i climb i try to drop as much as i can so the branches are easy for the groudy to pick up and throw through the chipper. One of my pet hates is when there's a mass of branches in a birds nest with 5 or 6 long lumps of timber because the climber couldn't be bothered to wait a couple of minutes for the groundy to clear/move the last log. In Norfolk the price is still driven down as the college keeps churning out newly qualified people, theres not enough work for everyone, the jobs arn't about, so they setup and gardeners are quoting £8 an hour to do tree work. Anyway sorry for the poor use of grammer.
  20. Right the work climb with sound [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nujTGfAsqK8]YouTube - Simulated Wrok Climb[/ame]
