I always found walking into your local Tesco's and seeing how grumpy the checkout staff are and think hey ho could be worse. Costs less than a shrink and you can do the weekly shop too. Also since buying my alaskan mill doing something with the wood that i fell has given me a, well stess relief. Spend a sunday afternoon up the yard plodding around drawing sketches then milling to size, cutting the joints, rasping the timber and a few hours later sit on your creation. I've never felt happier in my life. For years i worked at AAAC's and just felt stressed and down. When i setup myself some of the stress went. I keep my overheads down all kit bought and paid for no HP or loans (no stress of repayments). I rent chippers, grinders, subby's.

Have you got a CD labelled 'call out tune' which happens to be the a-team theme tune? :lol:

Monolith if its too far to carry:lol:. Depends if you want to keep the fire wood. Or if you cut i lower enough you could turn it into a fungi bank. Haven't got a photo but if you got to earlham park (walk from car park to earlham hall) in norwich you will see one i did for citycare last year. Shes taken off fantasticly.

Yeah you'll be suprised how many stumps you can do in a day if there all near each other. They have a hard life so probaly buy new if funds are good. Rayco make very good grinders IMO. Look for one that does a good slew width too maybe a bit more but wont cost you time repositioning the grinder, time is money.

Pracitce throwing from hand with a double loop you can easily hit 70ft. Anything esle bring out the big shot. Save your coppers for that instead of the 'lil shot'

Hamas big reduction/pruning thread!
Ian Flatters replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Picture Forum
Rule of a third. When reducing branches back you should not reduce to a branch which is less than a third of the diameter of the branch you have just cut....... Hope this helps:thumbup: -
£1 an inch normally for stumps across the widest part. Their a handy bit of kit good for starting fencing holes in clay ive been told.....

True doing consultancy looking at trees, not cutting them you get even weird people stearing clear of you:001_tt2: £120 your managing director must have got a good christmas bonus?

She is very heavy, but because of the seat part most the weight seems to be kept down low.
