Just to clarify the bizzare is how the photos came out, I expected 3 pics all the same. Looks insulting when I reread it. Sorry:blushing:

Weepers can be budded or grafted on the rootstock lower down. You simply tie the shoot to a bamboo cane the first 2 years. Once the wood sets rigid it stays upright, up to the point it was trained. This one could be top worked or even budded on below visible ground level. Would need to have more pictures or see the tree. Its only detail and the tree has no sucker problems.

Have I left it too late for Australia??
Goaty replied to kitnskye's topic in International Arborist Forum
There is that point in the government systems, if your loaded with cash they will more likely roll out the red carpet. But even the albeit limited people I spoke to in forestry had the under 30 outlook. Hard work, in hard conditions with hard blokes that freak you out. Young men only wanted, plus the visa 30yr old cut doesnt help. A point I didn't mention for the OP is that they will likely examine your wife medically for pregnancy and lots of probing questions? -

When I enquired in NZ ( same fussy attitude) at 30 years of age. They like to get young energetic lads and burn em out. Let someone employ whats left of them later. It will be hard for you to get in as a family. It could be possible but the reality is as shown in many tv shows, whole families react, some settle some hate it. After a year many long to return home. Miss the rain or the greenery, etc. In hindsight as much as I love being in NZ it doesnt quite suit me enough to settle there. If you can afford to save up and go for a month trying it will definatley give the whole family a better idea, plus you may set up a sponsor. The reality is if you are a good bloke that works hard someone will value you. -
Our personal account with Natwest is going to charge £6 a day for using our prearranged overdraft up to a maximum of £90 a month. To me thats a day pay out of the 20 odd days I work a month. Whilst we seldom use it. If we fork out for materials or repairs and a customer doesnt pay for three months. It helps. We are moving to Barclays, I moved from Abbey national around 10 years ago when they were swallowed by santander. They charged £90 for going £36 overdrawn. I called in at 2 branches on 3 occasions and got fobbed off with various assumed actions to follow. They got dumped. In other countries the banks do charge but I think many give better deals/service. Our banks want it all. Im willing to be a bank tart. Everybody wants the best deal from me these days. So we have to be the same.

Wife asks"Whats that?" over my shoulder " A builders bum":001_rolleyes: I understand it perfectly.

I dont charge extra because the small offcut ends etc. Get bagged separately. However if I supplied a 1/2 m3 bag I would charge extra. It would be a lot easier to supply a tree butt/s 1m3 in size unsplit and unringed into back of their vehicle, using pallet forks, rather than spending time, fuel, sweat and injuries and so on doing it. A solid cube I could sell for £25 no problem. Then use the time to earn easy money.

A week on has this issue been resolved for better or for worse????

Somewhere in the archives of this thread I remember along time ago. (Think it was Spud) mentioned how to nip up worn bar rails. I did do it before then with a vice, and today nipped one from 1.89 mm down to 1.64mm. The bar works fine again. But I can't remember if there was a finer art to it. Ive tried rail and burrell (he refered to it) in the search toolbar but cannot think of any other keywords. It is an old bar now retired to the thrashing of firewood role, along with worn chains, today I butchered aload of old fencing with it. Would hate to do it with new chain and bar. Also got one of those evolution rage saws. So far very impressed. Used it to cut down a bent aluminium spirit level and steel. Some of you boys may find handy for reducing for scrap bin etc.

We get more advanced as the days go by. Nice idea. This will soon be like public free licence software version 2.5.6 etc Lets keep going.

You can change the highlights fonts etc. I reckon the original creator chose to do it. Will have a look and get back to you if i can figure it out.

Where you drilled the rail to fit the nub nut. I ground the nut on 2 sides. A nuts cheaper to replace and I wasn't sure I'd drill the rail in the right place.

Earlier you said scaremonger Mick. Now its you thats got paranoia. The spores are going to get to via wallet if not yourself! However I for one am pleased to see this post and if I get these symptoms at least I have an idea whats going on now. I know a lad who spent 4 hours shovelling glass powder (sand substitute) out of a concrete plant hopper and was in pain with scratched and irritated lungs for weeks.

Yes a good effort, now try reading the subtitles with the sound switched off. You miss the animation, its quick. Love the way a deer is kept away, just shooed off by the bird. The fungi is Makebelievous purpurea I think David. a symbiotic partner of Chalara. We have yet to get to that stage in the UK.

If you soak them in PEG it disperses the moisture and stops the splitting or at least reduces it. This is just 1 link to show what its about https://www.preservation-solutions.com/index.php/sealgreenwood

I own a pot and a capable compressor, It is tedious work. As said nozzles are soon useless. I only ever do small components with it. Largest thing I have done is a twist beam axle off a ford KA. I could of gone and done a days paid work and left the blasting to the pros. A better idea all round.
