Was that a sarcastic comment brian? Sorry if I've taken that the wrong way. We can beat on about trees all day but if I got something to say about things like that and your bein sarcastic you better do some growing up

Thought dangerous was taking the michael out of what I was sayin for a minute there I hope not

Don't know if this really applies to the thread but I worked away all the time for more money but I just spent more cos I was bored kept doin this until my friend sophie died of cancer at 23 I realised I was missing out on so much moved back home and realised how rich I was not in money but with the friends I have and family you don't realise after working away for so long how good it feels hearing your best mate laugh or just talk crap I've learned to love what I've got instead of what I haven't
-
I won't ever know probably fair play to you mate glad you enjoying your job nice to see you dishing out some good advice on here keep it up mate
-
Il try that one Stephen, we go on about the stress but I think we thrive on it really otherwise we would just sit in a factory. I go through stages of making fantastic money then crap money I won't be a millionaire but I think we do the best job in the world Reading your posts I'm sure you feel the same I've thought about winning the lottery and would still do tree work just have loads of over the top gear even if it didn't make a profit ha
-
I know mate didn't realise he was on footballer wages ha fair play to him for taking up tree work because he enjoys it it is an infectious job (hope I spelled that right) I love this job tried to do other things for money reasons at times but this job is my hobby and I like doin a job I'm good at and enjoy

75 grand would make me very happy ha

Well said mate attitude is as important as ability in this game I've shown both in my past jobs that's why I could go back to them all if I was stuck I know firms that would sort me out even if they didn't really need anyone never burn bridges.
-
Hi chris just been looking at your posts see you round my neck of the woods and you just started up we have too just wanna say good luck mate hope it works out for you heard of a few people closing their firms and going abroad should be good news for us haha
-
Like sawdust said bosses hear so many people go on about how amazin they are and they just aren't not sayin your one of them but they need to see you in action take the low rate and it will go up when they see you on
-
You don't ring for jobs with that attitude do you? That will get you nowhere like mate it's not just about how good you are you need to fit in be enjoyable to be around on site you might be good but if you rub people up the wrong way u won't have a job. I have the same experience and if I had no work I'd work for 50 a day like someone said it's better than 0 a day if your as good as you say you are they will up your wages to keep you
-
I've offered to do a couple of days for free to a company so they can see if they like me they always paid and I got the job shows your keen and you like to graft in my experience I've done similair when self employed just at a lower rate always worked for me, regarding well paid work I think most of it is abroad we've set ourselves up to see if it works as a last chance if it doesn't il leave the country I think we got to make our money while were young in this job or set a company up for when our bodys can't take the stress anymore
-
That's what I was on about 4 year ago down heard lads were gettin more but loved where I worked
-
Always thought around 120 was going rate in that area for a good climber
-
Same to both of you we just recenly set up hope yous do well it's scary especially as I got twins on the way but had enough making other people money good luck lads

Top Handled Saw: Stihl vs Echo vs Husq vs Other?
Lorry thompson replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Chainsaws
The stihls are the kings in the air no points buying something that is almost there they last longer and sell better second hand sometimes a cheaper buy is false economy especially in thiscase -
I use that same method dean one of the best bits of advice in this job I think thought they taught it to everyone
-
Cheers lads glad yous use the same cuts and like them I've learned a few cuts over the years but not always the names I just know what works for me and feels good I seen an old boy drop a tree with a real bad lean by penciling the bottom like a beaver would but with a saw not his teeth haha
-
I was shown by a bloke when he cuts a big top off a tree mainly on willows etc he does his gob then cuts a bit out of either side of the gob so the hinge isn't as wide then the saw cuts faster and the top releases better works for me don't know if this cut has a name or if anyone likes it but I use it
-
And me mate I hope he keeps doin well
-
I'm lovin the Brits doin well I got my fingers crossed for Ross Pearson I hope he does well from up owa end and seems a nice lad enjoy watching him fight he's always mixing it up
-
Was a canny night like I'm glad Evans won I didn't like the way he was with his lads when they lost fights on tuf Evans seemed like a good bloke love seeing the British lads doin well over there too
