  1. I'd forgotten that. I worked for a guy who had me foot a ladder and swung a hedgecutter into me. I'm borderline religious on wearing a helmet but I wasn't wearing anything that would have stopped a running down hedgecutter going through a shirt and a trapezius.
  2. Largely in response to oldwoodcutter, I'm firmly pro ladder but refuse to have them footed for me and I almost always refuse to foot them for someone who asks me to (with the exception of when I want to check my phone or roll a spliff). I tell would-be-footers and footing-requesters that if they're not set up safely, they shouldn't be climbed and there's fuck all a puny human can do on the bottom of a 30 foot lever.
  3. Will the soil that's had softwood litter on it for 35 years be OK for growing hardwood?
  4. I can't find the video and wouldn't like to misquote him. He's on here and on youtube if you want to ask him.
  5. tony_t3d, Would I be right in thinking that you work in the public sector?
  6. Is your guide (rail, ladder or whatever) bent maybe?
  7. I was right then! I assume you just scare the trees into taking themselves down.
  8. Out of interest, Don, how tall, heavy and built are you? From reading about and seeing pictures of your work on here (which I think is very good btw), my guess is that you are a monster that swings a 66 in a tree like a big silky.
  9. Big plate, kinderscout! Thanks for the advice, Steve. Are there any tricks you can perform on a bowl/plate base to make it not rock/rock less when it's warped?
  10. I was imagining dinner plates more than anything else but it doesn't really matter. Does stuff warp more if it's flatter, ie doesn't have the high sides of a bowl?
  11. This thread needs more jomoco. He's probably busy re-attaching his groundsman's arms in the field or something.
  12. Looks like the cherry we've got. No idea whether it's wild cherry or some other. Very straight looking stem you have there. A lot of ours is very twisted.
  13. I might go and have a look as an excuse to take the bike out. Very close to another arbtalker btw.
  14. Whereabouts, monsieur eggs?
  15. Have you considered the benefits of advertising these chains in a video, Rob? Perhaps some kind of race?

    The NHS sometimes works. It's amazing what you can do with 70,000,000 people's money.
  17. Adventure motorbike forums will have solutions.
  18. Saw it on the news and thought it might make its way onto here. Maddening stuff.
