Lorry thompson

I've been asked to take some down and they will let me keep the firewood haha it's very rare I take timber away from a site lately

That showed them! Have heard of Henry Gould mate he's not too far from you in staffs he has a few of these?

Funny thread haha I couldn't understand the first half either but who am I to say that with my accent:lol: I had the same as chris today a customer asked how much to keep the chip and logs we must be looking at the same work haha

Some proper tackle there mate have worked with the militants awesome bits of kit better than the modern stuff with bits of plastic falling off everywhere. Stephen noticing stuff like that you get a job for Harry hill:lol:

What a legend that should stop his mates taking the Mick for getting married haha

Don't know him but sounds like another man down like us Mark:lol:

Same as everyone else said so sorry to hear of your loss littletree and like rover said I've had a sad experience with this and found talking is the best medicine. From reading your posts you seem an inspirational person keep it up you will do her proud:001_smile:

They are mate don't think anything would phase them Henry is a true legend lol you should have a look up there yard one day see the kit they've got

The general as I like to call him:lol: do you work with himmuch then mate? He's a fantastic bloke isnt he, I've done a lot of work for him and have so much respect for him he taught me a lot. I'm sure I can see Evo in there too

Interesting stuff Charlie that wouldn't be Henry on site with you there is it?

Haha like that one Tommy

Does she not complain about you working with trannies mark:lol:

Haha would be funny if it was. I've seen two in Durham area and one in Newcastle the one in Newcastle is huge and one of the trees in Durham is leaning towards the property so would imagine the house insurance would cover it

I've brought it to three different peoples attention lately that their beech trees have giant polypore around their base they didn't care must be our area mate

That's awesome you must be very proud:thumbup:

The yew is one tree I would feel guilty hammering but with regards to the oak in question fantastic job and I've been known to put cheapish prices on these jobs if a big tree is coming down it's coming down and I like doing them so I like to make sure i get them

I've found women with pushchairs are the worst they seem to think there is some type of magical forcefield that will stop them being hurt! Must be mental

Landys are fantastic bits of kit but break all the time (only my exp though) wouldn't you get a transit newer for the price of an old landy mate?

The thread has got a bit hand bags at twenty paces:lol: I think sometimes people don't want to try new things cos they get told it's wrong or whatever but it's up to everyones self what they feel comfortable with, there is guidelines to stick to and most should but some people understand and work timber better than others ever will but they know when to use these techniques and when not to, everybody should just do what they feel comfortable doing and not worry what others do

Hoping for plenty snow in a few year for my boys because the best years I had as a kid were the ones on the Honda 3 wheeler with sledges or anything else we could tie on the back

I don't know mark I quite like some of his techniques but haven't seen all the vids but I do agree that inexperienced people will think it's ok to do what he does, saying that though it's up to the person holding the saw to use their brain and do what they are capable of doing. I know there is very experienced lads on here who know what they are doing who don't agree with his methods, fair play to them safety is the key after all and I was taught at the start to remember you want to take your own boots off at the end of the day if you know what I mean. Saying this though I do think people in our industry spend too much time worrying about what you can't do instead of realizing what you can do. I was once called a cowboy at college by my tutor infront of everyone just because of where I worked not from anything I showed in my skills at college, I certainly wasn't a cowboy I was just confident in myself and I'd seen how the job was done, later in my career the same tutor came to work where I worked and upset a lot of other people with his attitude until a day on some big poplar trees he dropped his bottle and I the so called cowboy had to take over and finish the job for him to which his reply was remember where you learned everything I said aye from my dad! Sorry about the rant! I quite like some of his techniques but wouldn't like to think what might happen if a new lad tries them

How long you had them mate I been thinking about trying them

Hoping for bad weather loves my emergency work

I'm gonna keep out of this one but loving the thread!

Past ur eyes:lol:
