i used the youtube editing, it was pretty basic, but easy to use and free.

hi there, this is a questionnaire that i i've made up for a college assingment and would be greatful if anyone would fill it in ! Questionnaire 1. How long have you been in the industry? 15 years 2. Do you have experience of using saws regularly?yes 3. Which do you find the best for the working industry, battery or fuelled chainsaws and please give reasons for each?petrol, because its tried and true 4. Do you use any other types of saw? If so please specify:silky, sabre saw 5. Have you ever used an electric saw? If so please state what you thought about: a. Ease of useeasy b. Efficiencygood for internal jobs, where fuems are an issue c. Compared to petrolcheaper build, smaller capacity, better if you keep picking it up and putting it down, like in firewood d. Compared to batterynot tried one 6. Do you need a ticket to operate a battery chainsaw like you do a fuelled saw, if so which ticket?????? 7. If you bought a battery chainsaw, would it be for garden maintenance or the commercial industry? Please state together with reasons.for low noise use, it would have benefits, ie: school or hospital grounds 8. Is the maintenance easier with any particular saw over another? Please also state reasons.electric saws are cheaper in build quality, so more difficult to keep in one piece, and wear issues durring maint' 9. If you were making a recommendation to a commercial small business owner, what saw would you suggest they purchase and why? the one they need 10. If you were making a recommendation to a private individual (for use on the own premises) what recommendation would you make and why? something safe and reliable, depends on budget 11. Any other comments: chainsaws are dangerous, even lecky ones! Thank you for your time.

Mr Bullman, No word of a lie, i just hit upon that idea myself not 2 minutes ago! Great minds ehh? I wish now that i had tried before the purchase, this is the trouble with online purchases, and no local dealers of nice arb kit. I doubt a second hand harness would have much resale value, so i will just have to press on with the petzl.

I have stripped all the excess off my harness to look at the layout, things never seem to fall to hand, my lanyard is in the way of my saw, heavy saws seem to pull me and caritools at funny angles, so i thought i would start again. Would anyone be kind enough to put up a picture of how they have their harness set up, preferably a petzl sequoia, so i can borrow some ideas. Thanks chaps

Wish i had an ebay account and had bid on the one posted earlier, £20 cheaper than the buy it now price. Someone got a bargain, not that £85 isn't a bargain. I will be trying to get one soon.

Can anyone PM me this guys email or phone number, not an Ebay member so cant contact him via that site, looks the biz!

Welcome to the forum, forget the cat and the wife you have us now! You have our respect sir, you are among friends.

you need to make them see it, get off the computer, have a shower, look in the mirror, walk out the door and get some flyers photocopied, start today and fix your problem. Handyman, local service, low introductory prices etc.

It sounds like you need to get your head together, stop feeling sorry for yourself and get on your bike. It is all to easy to slip into a depression and the only person to drag you out of it is yourself. Stop relying on "friends" to take you to jobs, or helping you out, get yourself to the jobsite and work. Any work is better than no work, knock on your neighbours doors, put some leaflets through letter boxes, get a paper round and get paid for doing your own leaflet drop. Volunteer to help with anything, show your worth. I am not sorry for sounding harsh, if you lived in any other country, or in another time, you would starve do death! Get you head together and prove it to yourself that your worth it.

Wine and Lentils, or Cider added to a stew is nice! I am not a veggie or a hippy tho

Dolmar Dolmar Dolmar! never tried one to be fair, no B&Q's near to me to get one from! :001_tt2:lol:

Perhaps Arbtalk could do a review of this item and give a thorough test of its credentials? The seller would then have some point of sale material to bolster his campaign and british public get another bargain, hey Rodney?

You remind me of me, when I was your age or a bit younger I got my first saw a 44 husky, I spent weeks stripping it fiddling and fetleing it, It was a solid old school saw and good to learn the ins and outs on. I went away to Ag. college to study forestry when i was 16 and learnt that I didn't know as much as i thought i did, regarding safety saw use and maintenance. If you do one thing, get yourself on a proper CS30 etc. course and learn how to be safe with them. I and a lot of others on here will have plenty of horror stories to tell from our carreers. Before you think me an old fart, I am 30. I respect totally what you are doing, if only more people were so inclined, but I know what its like to be 16 with a chainsaw too. If you need any advice ask.

Roast dinners always do well in it, and I always make extra so I can mash it all up for bubble and squeak the next day, just chop up some lardons and chorizo first, fry them then add the mash, cracking!

slow cooking chilli con carni. Our Rayburn runs all the time so we try to get as much grub from it as possible! Brown the meat (cheap cuts of beef) in the pot, add some water, salt & pepper, chilli powder and paprika, I add a cup of lentils to thichen it up. Cook on a low heat for a day or 2, fork the meat to let it melt appart, add a tin of tomatoes, and a tin of kidney beans. cook for another half day Minimum, Eat with rice, or potato wedges. Never will you want chilli made from mince again!

Why would anyone want to leave arbtalk? its a family! don't go toprotter!

So many that stick in my mind I cant choose just 1! Husky 346 XPG awesome, smooth and slick! Stihl MS440 a sad day when mine got a skidder on it! Stihl MS460 Like the 440, but with bigger veg! Stihl 066 A legend of a saw, will last forever!

this makes me sad.

You seem to know a lot about all this sort of stuff, are alex and JON the hackers Norton is unhappy with? Hmmmmmmm?

It would be better to fix the window and show your professionalism, You could then ask for a reference from them, and they should have no reason to object. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar!

same here, its relentless! started another thread on it mods may want to remove it?

Hi Guys, Norton is telling me that my computer is being attacked multiple times from arbtalk sites, aps etc with a webattack; exploit toolkit website 4 Mods may want to check this? Be safe people

Another good one! I did, in my building days, use a piece of plastic sheet, rolled into a cone and insert into rubble sacks, the plastic sprung open to hold the sack vertical, and acted as a shute to shovel into. May work on nets too?

Load them into a plastic bag of the same size first, sleeve the net over the loaded bag, invert and empty plastic into net. Easy and cheap. I use a chicken feed sack but compost or coal bag may work.
