  1. Ah, i will try this out tomorrow on a small walnut i've got to do.
  2. This maybe a stupid question:blushing: but....Can you run me through how the dmm revolver bit works into the system:confused1:
  3. Just to let yo know i've been in contact with the RSPB and when they've fledged i can cut it down. Got worried earlier in this thread by reading the bit about DEFRA but the RSPB guy didn't say anything about the nest itself being protected. So chop, chop, chop at the end of july.
  4. Right i've found i have 3m odd of the lovely regate stuff. Tomorrow if the VT is naff im changing to 'burn & bit' cord Or maybe after i've had a play on daryls lockjack one of them instead....
  5. 900'C according to the info:001_cool: Don't know if its used as access lines, Certainly not by me at that cost:thumbdown:
  6. I was thinking of giving that lyros Kevlar/polyester a go?
  7. Oh before i forget any recommendations on any cord that works well for yourselves would be nice.
  8. just measured it 950mm
  9. Not thought of using a VT on it just looked at the length its not 1m long just read it wrong its just the normal length sold with spliced eyes for use with the hitchclimber pulley.
  10. Arbtalk(or arbporn) I guess shes being clever and referring to the large amount of wood on here.:lol:
  11. Look ok to me,
  12. I bought 2 eye to eye 8mm 1m length's to use on my 11.5mm Yale 'ice' rope (not a new rope too). Results have been terrible, constant slipping from lack of grip. Went from a knut to howards to a TK and then to a swabish (only one that didn't when used as a 6 wrap). I've given it a fair trial 3 months use in the dry, snow and rain and still the slippage continues. Anyone else had this? Im going to bring out my spare rope tomorrow 13mm XTC 'fire' and hope that it works on it better if not it maybe the most expensive pre-tension cord i've ever bought for my rigging kit.
  13. Maybe put a blue bulb in.... The police ones never break and they go so fast.
  14. Did you need a license in the end? i've got a pine tree to fell, told the client that we would have to wait till the crows finished nesting. But if i need a license to remove non-active nests too?? maybe he will have to wait a bit longer. Shame its on a main road...
  15. A chipper with a flashing light:thumbup: i like it!
  16. They seem to only stock random things like, top hoses, and tailgate latches in my experience. Think there more interested in selling cars and doing a 'full service' whilst getting paid a small fortune.
  17. Some how i went from a search on here to treebuzz and then a link back to here??
  18. Ok im thinking of doing the cert arb exam later this year, wherever it may be. I have the Tech cert and was wondering if any others with tech cert or higher have done this afterwards? Mainly for me it would be a sales pitch to customers im AA tech cert + cert Arborist...... Maybe what gets you the job? Not sure as yet because i normally drop the tech cert in when they ask me about my training etc. P.S. Hope your reading this silver back so send me some info:laugh1:
  19. Silver backs the guy to talk to about this Hama drop him a PM.
  20. 1:46 is super quick!!!
  21. In 5 years winning the lottery?? 10 years having my own playboy mansion??
  22. At a guess slime flux or bacterial wetwood.
  23. Thats a cool as camper/house-truck in the first one.
  24. Hes got 3D plans too:lol:
