when silky meets bridge.... ever wondered?
David Goss replied to David Goss's topic in Climbers talk
Yep martyn i think steel core bridges would be a good idea. I have grazed and hit my bridge and rope a few times, luckily without any force but its scary to think what could happen with just the slightest bad move with a silky. Like you say Hama just be careful and when you start to tire at the end of the day just be extra careful !!! -
Ach its only a flesh wound, I hope you finished the job before you went to get it fixed up:001_tt2: seriously though that looked sore, hope it heals well and soon mate:001_smile:

fantastic shots! cracking eye for a good pic:thumbup1:

I hope there is still some of NZ left for me to see when i come over in February! Hope everyone is ok anyway and you at least get to enjoy your Christmas and New Year.

Nice idea but i cant see how he can get them to pass H&S standards as every helmet will be different. They do look nice though.

I have a 20" bar on my 460 and think that is optimum bar length for that saw, its fast and cuts like a dream. Like has been said you can go bigger with it but recommend only for occasional use. I would get the 66 if you are going to be using it a lot.

its a glorified throwbag silly:001_tt2:
-
cant see it going backwards but good luck to you anyway...
-
some kind of foreign body anyway at a guess. Yep back cut is too high but nice and level and straight:thumbup1: If i want my hinge to break early i just close the gob a bit more, back cut is always the same.

Haha thats magic, extreme chipper parking! I bet you could have stuck a heel clicker in there or even a superman:lol:

Bit of advice mate.... in the link you could do with saying where you are based and i would take off the 1 handed chainsaw use pictures. Gets kinda frowned upon seeing its not proper chainsaw use.

yea you would think that would be the case but it seems not. Maybe there should be a thin and of course, strong wire inside the bridge or even wire woven into it somehow.... something to think about there mr manufacturer. -
yea sorry for the derail. might have a bit of work as well for you if your interested. PM me your number and i will call you:thumbup1:

That made me chuckle:lol: Mine is a good Islay single malt, I have a bottle of Ardbeg at the moment so i guess thats mine this year:thumbup:
-
Nah i only hang up trees when i am being watched, sods law that. Its like trying to throw the throwbag, if your being watched it goes everywhere but where you want it, if your on your own you get it first throw and there is nobody around to pat you on the back and give you a tenner for a good show:lol:
-
I hope your going to stack mine cos my name isn't Big D:001_tt2:

nicely done:thumbup: the bonus of having some heavy machinery shown to great effect:001_smile:

I am a great believer in that grandad, you are correct in many ways about people over complicating things to a point where its getting silly. I will however point out that these rigging devices really do make our job easier and safer. The pully is used as the crotch, with the added advantage that it can also be used when there isnt a crotch. The friction device (whichever one you prefer) is used instead of wrapping the rope round the trunk, with the added advantage that it can be controlled easier and the groundie has more options of where to stand. Both of these devices also let the rope run smoothly and with little wear and tear so in a way saving you money in the long run with replacing worn out ropes. It takes very little time to set up both these devices and used as they are its not complicated at all. Keep throwing in the questions grandad its good to hear your views on these things:thumbup1:

Passed med, large, windblown trees other day!

nice looking letterbox:thumbup1: top job well done man:thumbup: -
thats a joke in itself, i once called the police to an attempted stabbing and a big fight which was still happening as i phoned them. 3 hours later they arrived and made me feel like the guilty one for phoning them. The big man did the right thing, he wasnt violent and he was calm and polite. Give the guy a medal i say.
