    It is indeed..... yet strangely, it was the BBQ and the parasol that most caught my eye. In life, the most important thing Is to get your priorities sorted!

    Maybe.... I thought it was 12ft lbs.

    Cheers, that’s the ‘spot the power line’ photo sorted for this years company Christmas fete.

    Good that the dog provided an ongoing pep-talk!

    Good to see another success in the ‘low impact’ sector.

    Nice pictures... look good enough to have come out of a brochure.

    Overloaded

    Bolt replied to Stihlben's topic in Arb-Trucks

    Reminds me of the roads across the moors after the Dartmoor prison farm sale.

    A chap called Alan at Lynher Training in Cornwall had a Lucas Mill. All the workbenches in their training room were made from sycamore (IIRC) that they had milled themselves. Pretty nice looking timber for use in that type of application as I remember.

    .....and (from memory) very handy during the summer if you need to feed your mothers goats in a hurry.

    You will regret not getting bigger whatever you get (unless, possibly, you're ACE )

    Buying a MEWP

    15m. Spend the savings on a 4m polesaw

    Top 3. 6 locks in the picture as I see it.
  15. Bolt
    jmac, I guess.
  16. Bolt
    To be honest though, that seems like an awful lot of locks on a gate that doesn’t apparently see much use.
  17. Bolt
    Those locks could be made of cheese, but that wouldn’t help him get out!!

    I saw the fine line that you trod, and it was good. Anyway, stuff all that malarkey...... back at full throttle to the trees!
  19. Bolt
    Although I see your point up to a fashion, what must be appreciated is that there is a higher rate of attrition in a basic tree climbing course than other ‘CS units’ simply because if you really are hopeless at it, you are pretty unlikely to finish the training, and almost guaranteed to not bother with an assessment. I have had the dubious pleasure of training some truly hopeless causes at felling over the years, and almost all of them seem to convince themselves that they will ace an assessment!

    2 rope tangles

    Bolt replied to warren's topic in Climbers talk

    I first started using this two rope / anchor system back in 2015, when I started doing climbing for a utility company that required it. I was over 45 at the time, having been a climber since the 90’s. .....amazing how an old fart can adapt to some things seemingly quicker than the young-bloods! [discretely pushes a pair of Blake’s-hitches under his climbing bag with his toe].

    Hope you get fixed soon, Stubby. Just the tail of a Lab can be destructive enough, wouldn’t care to be on the receiving end of the whole dog!
  22. Bolt
    Indeed. Burning unseasoned ash is simply a squandering of what should have been properly seasoned ash.
  23. Bolt
    Inspired post, possibly the best one yet.

    Interesting pictures. I always associated hedgelaying as something done down the edge of a field. Never really considered horticultural hedgelaying like the pictures above to be a 'thing'. Good to see that there are enlightened homeowners willing to invest in it. Nice work.

    No chance of me helping with this.... I am clueless when it comes to presents for my own family.... certainly no good with anyone else's!!
