Moving to UK - Work Needed E. Midlands or along the M4
arbclimber replied to xdarkknight's topic in Employment
Someone give this man a job, Thats the best ' I need a job' post i've seen on here. Certainly beats the poorly worded, half hearted attempts, we usually get. Best of luck with your move and job hunt mate:thumbup1: -
I agree, it is good he is asking. My point is that as he is a qualified arb consultant, if he doesn't know, should he be doing it?
-
You wont be buying one then mate? Where's your sense of adventure? Death by PTO cant be that bad, can it?
-
Should have dug a borehole and charged them for a survey instead then mate:laugh1:
-
Just a thought, If you should be doing this type of survey, I would assume you would know what to do. If you were doing a survey to tell me if my house will be affected by heave, I'd like to think you wouldn't need to come on here to ask how to do it. I think this may give us the answer, as to whether a soil or structural engineer should really be doing it for you. Not a criticism for the sake of it mate, just strikes me that if you get it wrong its your backside on the line.
-
Agree completely, did you see how close the operators are to the spinning drive immediately behind the head. If a piece of clothing touches that its going to grab you and throw you straight at the head.
-
Rip the arse out of your garden? Is that how you described the job on the estimate?
-
Sorry for a bit of a derail but does John Trenchard still do any training at Sparsholt?
-
I agree with what you are saying but they look to me like the blocks with a small lip at the back so they can be stacked slightly offset to make a quick simple wall. I dont think these are recommended as retainers above a certain height. Get you, with your posh words:001_tt2: This is no place for proper English mate:lol:

I know you were just playing with the saw for the vid mate but that saw nearly kicked back when the nose touched the smaller branch behind it, The position of the left hand also mean't that the chainbrake may not have been effective if it had. As Big Boss Beechwood said yesterday, a lot of trainees will prob watch these videos , so its worth mentioning the technique is not to be recommended.
-
can you start on a tight budget? ive spent 40k so far not including the hilux IMO you wont see a decent ROI on £40k for startup. Firewood processing is very labour intensive so most of the return will be paying you for your time.
-
Not actually a bad idea mate, all of my customers have coasters I gave them. Now every time they have a tea or coffee at their desk they are reminded of my name and number:001_smile:
-
Thats what I was thinking, any lesser machine would have been thrown all over the place.
-
You mean if you took a pic from further back we could all see what a funny shape it ended up:001_tt2:
-
We have tom toms. they are good on main roads and in town. But we live in the middle of no-where so its sometimes quite a pain cos it doesn't differentiate between proper roads and silly little tracks. It will just use the shortest route so you can sometimes find yourself on a tiny little single track road, when a main road way would have been much quicker albeit, a little further in distance.
-
Maybe you just have a one track mind mate.
-
My mrs would literally Kill me if she came home and that was on the driveway. Would love to have a go at fixing it up though.
-
I agree, one of the woods where we walk the dogs has got many old and decaying silver birches, many of which have failed half way up the main stem. This has, in many cases, left large severed tops hung up in the canopies of other trees. I have told the Mrs not to walk under them. It is obvious the landowner should do something about this, under a reasonable duty of care.
-
Gutted for ya mate. As Armchairarborist said, where are you?
-
Hope you get it mate. would be a cool project. All depends on how much it would cost ya to get it road worthy.
-
No doubt someone will be along later to tell us we are both wrong anyway mate. Till then I reckon thats the answer:thumbup1:
-
That is quite cool, Dean could have that working by tea time.
-
Yeh, I see your point. With no load, the chain speeds will be the same. Under load the chain speed would be higher on a smaller bar as you have the drag of less cutters at any one time.
-
The chain will be travelling at the same speed, it will just make more revolutions than a longer one.

I was taught bowline at college.
