Never seen it done that way before. I assume she emerges from the cab of a tractor wearing a sequin dress?

Book recommended lengths are 12”, 14” or 16” 3/8p .050”. Has anyone tried 16”, 18” or 20” 3/8p (.043” or .050”) or 1/4p?

Depends on if you’re running a firm and need to provide for all eventualities or if you’re a freelance climber and only need to cover the majority. Joe was bang on with the 2511 and 500i combo for a freelance climber. Someone always has a 50cc ground saw they can send up for the occasional big branch and most firms worth working for will have a 661 with a 36” bar for big slashes and bigger chunking. So there’s your four for running the entire show: -climbing saw, might as well be on the lighter end because a 201 isn’t much different to a 261 -261 main ground saw -500i bigger ground saw and predominant chunking saw -661 necessary evil Not much different if you go battery on the smaller ones. My main petrol climbing saw has had very little use because battery power is so lovely. I can use an electric breadknife 120 for most stuff and nick a ground saw for the occasional bigger cut. 220 arrives this week. Should render the 120 and 261 unnecessary but the 120 is such a little darling I’ll not want to part with it.

Fresh fuel, rev the tits off it.

Yes. Send them to me to be assured of their safe disposal. (No. They’ll be fine. Soak them in diesel if it makes you feel good.)

There’ll be no common sense involved, only the reasoning that they’ll make loads on the VAT on new vehicles so it’s worth (for them) stimulating.

For how long did you work for the state?

I've just found some of that on the 25" crosscutting bar on my 500. Put it down to running the chain looser than usual.

Improve yourself with the expectation of going elsewhere. Use your cheapness as leverage to get training. Make them pacify you with a £500 course instead of a £2000 pay rise. Generally, zig zagging up the wage ladders from firm to firm is the way to make more money. Climbing the ladder where you are is dead. Specifically, your current company will probably be shut in three years. There'll be a period of tension and resentment followed by an argument. There won't be enough money in it for one to go on without the other. Come back in three years and tell me if I'm wrong.

Whatever’s cheap I suspect. I’m sure I’ve read on here of poplar being used for lorry decks.

I’m tight. I, until recently, had three hoovers: a Henry I got from a skip, a Kärcher a friend gave me and an upright my mum gave me. None have ever worked well but I couldn’t bear to throw away anything that had even peripheral use. I one day decided I should suck the ash from the nooks and crannies of the wood burner so the air channels didn’t get blocked. The Henry was so anaemic that I changed over to the Kärcher, that was more effective but so loud I put on a saw helmet. It collected the ash very well and I was well pleased until I turned round to see it forcefully evacuating the collected ash over the entire room. A billowing cloud and thick coating shortly preceded my white hot rage. The hoovers met the bin and I’ve been happier ever since.

People still get married.

I'd like five of each. Would he bother for that?

Searched without any luck. Like this?

What's a Vancouver V please?

Please do.

Where from please? PM if you’d prefer.

Did you build it?

Is drawboring where you purposefully misalign holes so the peg pulls the joint together tighter?

Since this is now half about shooting and this is a forum: Where on the internet are people talking about shooting these days? Been away from the forums for a few years and the bbs and ukv are both now dead. Not checked pigeonwatch but assume similar. The stalking directory seemingly less affected. Is everything on Facebook and Instagram?

Also an excellent card game.

Didn’t really answer my question unless I’m missing something.

Rig it like that. If you need help to clear the fences, rip the limbs in with a base pulley and portawrap truck pull (unless you have a bollard that lifts). Light negative rigging high up then reverse a truck half full of chip up to the stem to chog into.

A decent climber and an avant zipping about will do that in a day without the stress of harming the paving.
