  1. ive always used body shop dollies that jack up it works a treat.
  2. Thanks for the advice ging, that sounds sensible and thats the way i plan to go about it.i already hold a ticket for first aid at work but ill definatly look in to the chipper course too. i already service the chainsaws and strimmers,hedge trimmers ETC for a farmign estate in east grinsted its good work and also helps me too as i get a bit more familiar with the saws.
  3. thanks for all the replys and your honesty, i know its not going to be easy, I have arranged to meet up with a few firms in the next week. couldnt have come at a better time as found out yesterday that the garage i work at is off to the liquidators! wish me luck! Pat
  4. In response to ad15, im based in gillingham,i done my apprentaship at a custom motorcycle shop called kent choppers, i now work at a large second hand bike shop in the center of gillingham, mainly working on jap bikes, gixxers,blades and busas seem to be the main culpret,as regards to preping race bikes i done a bit for AJ racing who raced in british superbikes. call me crazy but im sick of working inside i want to get back outside.
  5. Thanks for all the replies. I understand that the pay wont be the highest to start with and its going to take time for me to make my self a name in the industry. I would like to be a climber eventually but want to start as a ground worker.I might be going about things the wrong way with that one, what do you guys think? Thanks for the advice im going to look at kingswood now,tonbridge isnt too far from me so that could be a good option. Pat
  6. Im based in Gillingham in kent, another college i was looking at plumpton college too as my girl friend lives close to there. I understand work will probably be hard to come by but im pretty determined! Can any one recomend and books that would be good to study? Whilst im here, if any one close to medway or east grinstead ever has any mechanical problems let me know! Pat
  7. Hi this is my first post here i have had a look through some of the post and already found alot of usefull information. I work as a motorbike mechanic, although for the last few years have been a self employed contract farmer and landscaper but im now looking to change carrer and really want to be a tree surgeon after doing a bit of work on a farm with a team. Im looking to do my CS30/31 at hadlow college, has any one here any exprience with this college? Also i wonder if any one could offer me advice on the best way to find work after I have these tickets,and if the way the economy is where there really is any work for a new tree surgeon?I would look for labouring work now as im sure thats the best route in to the industry but my bills forbid me! I appreciate any advice you can offer me! Thanks, Pat
