Yeah spencer tapes, ive fashioned a nail in the end which should do the trick
-
Yeah not bad, all 3 still working well one lost its end pin but other than that doing well.
-
So a few pics of today, we are working close to the barges now and have felled and need a day to count up and extract but were just about two thirds of the way towards our target of 2370m3 for the project.
-
Jeez, it really annoys me that we seem like a prime target for thieves. The police never seem to want to know either, just take a statement then do nothing.

Lucky you were on the deck it could of been worst case if not.
-
We all certainly smelt like swamp rats today, honked

Simple Fir removal shot from some different angles
Ian Flatters replied to danholls's topic in Video forum
Good video Dan, but god i found the squeaky chainsaw annoying. Nice explanation at the end too. -
So heres a few from this afternoon, we've moved to the 2nd site which also is mostly underwater but still the trees are falling ready for extraction and also doubling up as a walkway through the block. The Machine next to the digger is a screed machine which is attached to a concrete pump. The heavy sediment is shot to the side by the screed as instant back fill and the finer sediment is pumped along the pipe into the giant bladder which some of our alder poles are holding in place.
-
So today were back in to create 500 6m poles and 300 2m poles. I'll get some pics up on friday but heres a few pictures of the site from the EDP paper on saturday.

Nice work as always Ben, loved the customer pictures
-
Thats the vid, yeah the only subtle differences i do is a humbolt gob and the step cut underneath but basically the same cut.
-
Its useful on those sized chunks too. Instead of doing smaller chogs you can drop longer sections without the need of using a pull line to overcome the force required to break a hinge, thus leaving the groundy to be able to chip and log, not remove a line and tie it back on your line. Also save a lot of used energy in comparison to a step cut as it removes a lot of handling of the section.
-
Yep thats the one Its on my Jerry B video apparently and it goes into detail about what size chunks to drop to get them to rotate to land flat. Havent got round to watching the dvds yet tho.
-
Basically its a tep cut but with a humbolt face, when moving chogs it makes it much easier if you require a step cut and makes it much safer than cutting straight through at a slanted angle. Josh had it in his video a year or so ago and was good enough to explain its mechanics
-
Spent a little bit of time tonight putting this together. I was talking about the swedish cut on the treehouse and a said i had some footage of it being done on a job i did a while back. Hope you enjoy.

Sorry about the mobile thing, music rights stop that for some reason although it works on my blackberry, BUT you have the excitement of watching it in full HD when you get home on the computer.........
-
Just make sure a ZK1 and ZK2 are not in the same room at the same time! paint fly's!!
-
Have you named it the 088
-
Yeah towards christmas is good for me as im currently hammering into a few felling contracts which kill my weekends trying to fit in the nice domestics.
-
Just seen this, cannot make i have got to finish off a couple of sites that over ran last week I'll keep my eyes open for the next one as it would be nice to get out of norfolk for a reccy climb.
-
Cheers steve
-
Cheers everyone, Slack ma girdle, Josh off here showed me it when i asked what he was doing, i now very rarely do it any other way now, it saves a lot of effort and it falls into the cob so no maneuvering of the chog.
-
Just a quick edit of a few bits of footage i have gained from this year. Hope you enjoy
