Much obliged.

Fuck France. It’s full of French cunts. Come back to England.
-
Can’t help with question but what does hockling mean please?
-
Ah. I see. I was expecting the long frontage open and the highest.
-
Do you use one by or similar for purlins?

I think I’m following #something as well as following people. I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it. Having stuff like #retrievableredirect or whatever pop up might be good. Not fucking #wokeuplikethis #branchbrotherhood #ropeknightsmuggler though. No idea what my name is. I changed it to some nonsense to try and stop people following me (which didn’t work). Will change it back if I ever take a photo of something worth showing. I resisted for ages because I’m on Facebook and didn’t see the point of being connected to the same friends on ten different platforms. Instagram is proving excellent for interest specific stuff and interacting with strangers though.

He’s done some specifically on sharpening but the thing about his videos is that you have to wade through hours of him being silly to find some isolated little tip that you’d never guess would be in the video. I don’t even look at the video titles now. The tips are often very very good though. Worth having hours of him running in the background if your mental health can take it.

For anyone who’s written off Instagram as glitzy timewasting for the aforementioned hashtag wankers, give it a go. There is some brilliant stuff on there.

Watch a Buckin Billy Ray video. He’s a proponent of the latter and his saws cut like fuck.
-
I’m interested in the splicing. What’s your handle?
-
This thread is a great example of exceptions to stereotypes btw. It started with neanderthal tree cutters talking about fat girls and now a man who calls himself an idiot is schooling us on philosophy, psychology and neuroscience.

God that's dystopian.

There's a quite short book (50 pages or so?) by Sam Harris that goes through most of the free will arguments and concludes that we don't have free will. It's a good read. The arguments seem pretty logical but it's impractical having nobody to blame when things go wrong.
-
That's a good example of the sort of content I'm after. His youtube channel and posts on here are very helpful.

I've just got instagram on my phone for the primary purpose of getting tree killing photos piped to me conveniently in idle moments. Can anyone recommend good people to follow please. I'm not interested in 20-year-old home counties fannies posing in 30 foot birches with loads of artistic filters and #treelife #lifestyle #bullshit. I am interested in people who post stuff that might teach me how to kill trees better and make more money from doing so. Climbing, rigging, brash moving, tools, maintenance, sharpening etc. Thanks in advance.

I wish I hadn't mentioned SRT.
-
Gravel! We used to dream of gravel...
-
Much obliged. Might be useful for my next 30 foot silver birch.
-
Looking at it again, it seems like the latter.

It’s largely academic. I’d have wanted the big saw rather than spiking around to match cuts (unless it was a truly exceptional lean/weight - or I’d just go higher). I don’t follow what you’re saying about the side cuts. I use them to make the back cut faster and prevent barber chairs that way. If you cut slowly, surely you still risk barber chairing, the crack starting in the narrow rectangular bit and then spreading to the full width. Or is it that the sides of the stem contain the inner stem that might want to chair?
-
Good video as always. Thanks for putting them up. Did you consider boring it? Small saw with a 16" bar maybe. Obviously far harder for the gob but a much more manageable saw for a bore. Maybe on a shallow lean, the 30" bar, take the sides in and fast back cut is the way but on a hard lean the scales could tip in favour of boring. Thoughts?
-
300ft of cord, a micro pulley and an enthusiastic man on the ground would be my solution.
-
SRT and a massive lanyard.
-
Why on earth would you look to the government for financial advice?! They’re shit with money.
-
What’s the silliest tpo you have come across?

It’s called a preservation order and the way to preserve hazel is to cut it. Keep paying taxes.
