We all centre our world around a working paradigm. It's the way we function, we have a framework of understanding through which we filter the phenomena occuring around us. It's not a bad thing unless we're closed to that paradigm evolving and growing. However to be too open to change without rigorous assessment of new ideas you can get lost in realms of 'nice ideas' that aren't more then superficially accurate.

The scientiffic world, not being an individual has to have an inbuilt resistence to new ideas or it wil be washed away by crap.

I believe/hope/pray we're near a time of a great paradigm shift in the understanding of the scientiffic communmity. A new biology, integrating quantum physics, conciousness & neurology, etc... the old paradigm is straining and laboured

Maybe contact a few arbs that are really local to you and ask them to set aside a few choice bits as it turns up (i do for mates that turn) but to be honest mate your problem is the price you're selling it at. Losation is everything. Sod off the local fetes etc. People pay pence. Get it in a cabinet of a trendy local cafe/restauramt/gallery. It will go for ten times that amount

does this need to be a sticky thread anymore?

sun creams only gay when used as a lube:scared1:

Definately getting one of these to add to the kit.

Is there any type of super glue people use? utility stuff stings abit. can you buy a speciffic medical brand?

dodgy... the stihl strtch I've seen work well on a mate. stopped the chain dead.

What are other folks methods of staying lithe and nimble?

I've always found swimming to be the best way to loosen up. Better then a massage (but not as nice:biggrin:).

Stretching & Yoga to prevent injury in the first place.

But here's a new one I've found a while ago. Any of you come across a vibration plate. Fantastic. Sorted my wifes back out and strenghtened mine. Can't recommend enough. Leaves a real good feel good factor as well, also work out in a fraction of the time of a traditional gym (which I hate) with a whole host of other benefits...

i love this site, knowledge, in every corner.

good luck, if you were up north I think there'd be a handful of posts already.

a must, looing for the best price. any ideas?

air gun for cleaning, definately,

sommetimes if your work is part of a thining process then there is a slightly larger allowance, but as above check out with your latest LA, the info you want is usually available online.

we look on scientiffic understanding with the benefit of hind sight. the understanding of evolution and such look so implicit now. but before these understandings and insights were hammered out of the chaos of observable 'creation' by darwin, lemartre and other such genuis (for want of a better word) people were trying to fit all sorts of other understandings to it, lots of 'nice ideas' but alot of them simply did turn out to be 'natural laws' or 'truth'.

there are few truely new ideas, granted, but what lovelock did was to flesh out a 'nice idea' of which there are thousand (all supported by belief) and give it a credance with verifiable fact. Therefore taking it from the realm of 'nice ideas' and bringing it into the realm of truth (dodgy ground i know) (perhaps observable/apparent truth, or understanadable form would be a better)

if I'm getting this right, then if moving clean chip and wood we don't need a license but if we have a trailer full of brash or hedge cuttings with 'green waste' we do. Therefore best practise would suggest that we should have one...

I feel though if people like Saw Dust have been stopped and the EA have said it's a grey area and not upheld this rule, or if there are regional differences in knowledge, then let it be. Besides, what are they doing, giving you a piece of paper to say that what you're doing is alright when you've already been doing what's alright without a piece of paper for years. It's a bureaucratic system that really repels me. Paper qualifications i can live with because there's training and standards, but with this waste licence there's no education, they aren't improving anything, they are just taking money, giving you a piece of paper and say what you're doing is suddenly alright.

aye, an interesting study

hard core bolt.

you have it in your blood:thumbup:

thanks for the responses, helpful and unhelpful. will check out the aa lists

tasty though

Can't chip and wood bith be classed as a product and therefore not deemed waste?

ever hopeful...

 

Waste Transfer Licence ??? Do we need this for green waste? Do we need this for wood. We use the wood, we use chip. Is it really waste? A depot i sometimes take my brash to said that I'm excempt if i advise what work is required but not if they ask me do a specific job since then it is waste removal. Any clarification on this?

clarification on this one anyone

I have got my mums old homelite somwhere.

 

It hasn't got an ounce of plastic on it, its all cast metal.

 

Proudly down the side is written "the worlds lightest direct drive chainsaw".

 

It weighs about the same as an 088!

did she wear army boots too?

more wondering about lowering gear, poles saws, big saw, insurance etc.

what's the industry norm. do subbies provide that or does the team? Sawdust and i get by with a bit of give and take (don't we???) i know i could work on my time keeping though, and my climbing saw is ******)

what about you other guys? who provides the peripheral gear. Rigging, poless, big saws.

Has anyone had the **** hit the fan when subbing for someone else, consequently how did the insurance claim run?

it wasn't me

i was covering for your groundies

depends on your land lord and neighbours. Council tennents have a clause in their contracts forbidding it. alot of private landlords do too. but if you're not inconveniecing anyone with noise, waste, putting up signs everywhere, having loads of emplyees turning up and warming up their saws then who's going to bother you. I run two businesses from a rented property. have done for 7 years. if a problem has arisen then best way to tackle it is to de-escalate the situation, be nice, reassure them that you understand their concerns and will address the issues. ultimately if they press the issue oyu'll lose out.
