    Had a lump of cedar kicking around so decided to make a Lion / Dog of foe. I didnt follow a pattern or make sketches. I just wound into the log with the saw and hoped for the best

    Poplar will I've seen it first hand! the shoots grew down and then bent round to grow upright and within a few years the post that started off at 4ft ended up being 20ft.

    I use aspen in the hedge cutters and pole saw all the time and use normal 2 stroke mix in the saws. I found that after a days hedge cutting I recked of 2 stroke but since using Aspen I can wear my work clothes out in the evening without people thinking I ride a moped

    Well balanced response and I agree with you Just the word hobby that made me draw a line between making a living and making a lifestyle choice

    Hi Maj sorry to quote you but the word hobby appeared and made me laugh. I climb to make a living and although it can be fun at times it sure as hell aint a hobby to me Its people that see it that way that seem to do the work for the kicks and the excuse to pose around doing work for peanuts just to pay the Hp on there tools Nice kit Tree-fela

    I hear you Cartman A while back I read that gangs were putting babies car seats by the sides of roads in remote locations and waiting for people to stop only to jack the cars

    Replacement blades never last as long as the blade you get with a complete saw thats a fact IMO

    I made myself look like a right nana a few weeks back showing another local firm the Arbtrolly. We had a length of cedar that refused to go on the AT we tried all sorts but between the 2 of us it just didnt want to know eventually we resorted to rachet strapping the AT upside down on the log and just rolling it over Where there's a wheel there's a way add a rachet strap to the recipe and the wood is your oyster
