Don't want to be left out!!!

mince it !

for a wee job, i'd just get on with it. but a crane attracts a lot of attention and you don't want to screw around with day rates like they charge.

not found someone yet? paid more then pork pies but less then a pasty.

Friends and family.

Call 07811385870 for a days work next week.

10 min north of Melton Mowbray

Must be Reliable Climber that can work with initiative.

Rate to be discussed.

most of the time i use a 10m rope. type??? orange new england maybe?

anyone else climb on a short line?

obviously if a tree is more then 15m then i use a 50m spearmint xtc.

but i find the manoeuvrability of the short line a joy & stops it dangling on a road or line (power/railway) or getting chipped by the numpties on the ground. when using the short line i use a prusik because its reversible and saves pulling the line through on reanchoring.

95% of the time i use my 5m flip line on my d's. have a soft strop but it only comes out for low% reductions where there's a lot of swift silky work.

On most trees using a long rope i use a blakes unless there's a lot of passage in the tree when i move onto the hitch climber and knut.

up a sequioa last week to dead wood it. was using the short line as a strop and flipping it higher on each side.

Yokohama Geolandar M/T Plus

from experience these haven't let me down.

very good in the snow.

excellent on the road, no noise and great milage.

only mild weakness is on very steep unconsolidated mud/stone.

but every tyre is a trade off.

i go off road fairly often. at least 3 times a wek. but i'm still on road the majority of the time. and these handle fantastically on the road for an off road tyre

just ask around locally. theres loads of land about. look around. just find a bit out the way and find out who's it. say you want to store some logs there. they might just need a tree trimming in exchange. that's how i got started. add in the local news agent or post office or ask people walkig dogs.

You do know its much safer if you use a rope and harness???

but it's a real drag when dancing.

it's all prose and no poetry

my 2100 smokes and rattles the hands but sure goes. got a 20" blade on it for ringing up fat boys and it slices through twice quicker then a bigger bar once.

likes his sausage does he?

unlucky for the trees and owner, hopefully the trees should be alright. they recover to a similar degree to sycamores.

i thought stan had packed up and emigrated

i'd heard he'd left area. where's he gone to?

i grew up with wollaton park on my door step. it's by nottingham uni on west side of the city on the A52. You would not be disappointed. massive oak, beech, lime, plane. the tree on my id tag is 300m east of the south gate.

Hi,

We also have a large patch of rhododendron to remove - we were planning to use the larger bits for firewood as I've read elsewhere that it burns well but the comments above are a concern? Is it safe to burn in a stove or open fire?

Thanks,

Gary

rhododendron has never given me problems but do avoid the laurel.

I cut a whole load of super strength graded larch last year i'll see if i still have the grading sheet it covered quite a few softwoods.

that would be interesting if available

this was what i had in mind...

japs and cars... toyota?

I've got a small plantation of Norway Spruce and have built a round pole frame using it.

As far as I'm aware if it's grown in this country it's no good for construction as it grows too fast and the rings are too far apart.

It's incredibly light when dry and tends to crack. I did my frame with loose tenons of oak and oak pegs, wattle and daub panels.

Any reflections on using it in the round? how's the barn now?

I've heard that it's not used for construction in the uk. is that in so far as, it's not sawn into say 2by4's because it doesn't come upto strength or the whole trees are just crap?

those magnetic signs can leave rust marks if left on. after two years i had a red speccled rectangle on my last vehicle

hi there gents,

My wife and i have a wood with mature norwegian spruce. We have permission to build a barn. Is anyone here capable in softwood timber frame buildings and would like to come live on site and show me how to build a barn?

good luck fella, and in the same breath, any gear for sale

i think i know what you're after but don't have just the right angle
