  1. After mentioning in ad's thread the other day that I would find a pic of one of my 'less than perfect' felling cuts, I found this. Please feel free to point, laugh and generally tear my poor technique to pieces. Sorry there is no close up, please pay particular attention to the stump end:blushing:
  2. Haven't been to Santa pod since went to a 'run what ya brung day' and got beaten by a beetle with a huge great engine hanging out the back.
  3. As others have said, Its a top handle saw so you shouldn't be using it on the ground. Actually if you dont know what it is, and what it should and shouldn't be used for, you probably shouldn't be using it at all.
  4. Where abouts in Southampton mate? As you know thats very close to me.
  5. Good to see your boys are much better at tree work than they are at landscaping.
  6. Yes it was. i'm only joking though. Thinking about putting a few pics of mine up where the cuts haven't gone quite right:blushing:. Might make him feel better:001_tt2:
  7. Think he'd rather not mention the fell he did the other day.
  8. Nice pics mate. Looks like you have an eye for it.
  9. Thats a bit close to home. I used to have an office in Ringwood. Not heard any more about it though. Thoughts to friends and family.
  10. Did my 38 and 39 about 7 years ago. Cant remember spikes even being mentioned then. How times change.
  11. Dont worry mate, i've been called worse:laugh1:
  12. Why do you want to know?
  13. How much does the site currently cost to do? How much are you looking for a sponsor to pay?
  14. Not a bad thing I suppose. First time I ever used spikes was on the morning I bought them, to use on a job.
  15. Didn't even see a set of spikes on my 38 or 39. Is spiking part of the training now?
  16. I've never seen a chainsaw chain sharpened properly on a machine anyway. Much better by hand IMO
  17. Theres always the side by side or over and under feline retieval gadgets.
  18. I'd call it more, half a hinge:001_tongue:
  19. Inclined to agree with you there mate. Those new pics do seem to give a better indication to the likely failure of the tree dont they. If it was my tree, and my house, it would be gone.
  20. You just need to tailor it to your target market. If you work out your marketing mix 7 p's (see marketing thread in members area if not sure about 7 p's) that will tell you what they want to see. What you say is just as important as how you say it. By that I mean the content is much more important than which pictures you use and how flash it is. Functionality is very important on a site, as is load speed. Are you getting a web designer to code the site for you? Seo is also very important. the days of sorting your meta data and forgetting about it are long gone. Pictures are of little use as far as seo goes as bots and crawlers cant see them, they can however see tags to them. Get the site functionality and seo sorted and worry about design and nice pics afterwards.
  21. Didn't scare you away last time you started a thread then mate? If you want to start knowing what your site should contain you should have a marketing plan. This will cover pretty much every aspect of your business and will make it quite obvious what your website should contain and what it should achieve. If you arent sure what your marketing audit and plan should contain, ill give more info.
  22. Actually me neither, thought it said iveco:blushing:
  23. Nice vehicle. I haven't got one but whenever we needed an extra vehicle our local hire place has them. Driven them quite a lot and prefer it to my new transit crew cab:thumbup1:
  24. Unless he wants to encourage decay into the main stem so some bugs can live there when it all falls down:lol:
  25. Not a stupid question. They are damn heavy when full. Dont know the answer but sure someone will be along soon with an ingenious plan for delivering them:thumbup1:
