  1. Welcome to the forum:thumbup: I suggest you browse through this forum as much as possible because there is tons of good tips and advice that you wont find in any books. Most importantly stay safe and have fun:thumbup1:
  2. Your a big lad, i am sure you could get it to split the knotty bits no problem:thumbup1:
  3. why dont you just build one of these... http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/36057-never-seen-splitter-like-before.html Environment friendly and looks easy to move around. Also wont cost you any fuel to keep it running
  4. I would be up for it if it was close. I hate travelling unless there is money at the end of it:001_rolleyes:
  5. yep thats very true its a great opportunity for someone but just not me. I gotta eat as well as pay rent here and a mortgage in Rome. Go back 20 years and i would for sure be standing at the gate tomorrow morning.
  6. Umm try looking at posts 8 and 20 mate
  7. they would need to at least double it to get my attention and even then do i really want to have a boss again???? hmmmmm lemmie think, erm..... no
  8. Just round the corner from me but that salary really is rubbish, otherwise i would be standing at the gates with my cv tomorrow morning.
  9. i prefer your helmet, thats a cracker and shiny too:001_rolleyes:
  10. Never mind any of them.... spend the extra and get a treemotion and never look back.
  11. mmmmm Beaver:001_tt2: Dont you have a trained beaver for that Mark? Did i take that too far?
  12. Wow been busy in here since yesterday:thumbup: Thanks for all the info and keep it coming its all helpful I am however getting more confused by it all Cant wait to try splicing out but it wont be for a while yet till i get my finger out the proverbial:laugh1:
  13. Not keen on the saw pods either, i find it tends to get in the way more than when its hanging from your harness but i suppose its just a preference thing.
  14. Could be painful that if you went to throw it and it sprung back at you!
  15. Yep clear as crystal:001_rolleyes: Not like Italy to make things complicated:001_huh:
  16. nice thats the way i do speedlines. its way too complicated the other way pre-tensioning the line etc all you need is a groundie with some muscles and if he's not enough then you get 2:001_rolleyes: Its also good because the groundie can pull in the branches as you cut them so you get everything to go where you want it.
  17. Cheers for the pics Dak but i am still not sure how that will work? the one i saw on the video was a pointy tube and a part of the rope was stuffed in the thick end to push it through the rope so i dont see how your wire works?? I suppose i really need to give it a go to figure all the ins and outs.
  18. That would be great:thumbup: i will pm you
  19. Got any pics? Complete beginner here, didnt even know what a fid was till yesterday and i am having difficulty visualising yours:blushing:
  20. Bump!! Just thought i would bump it up to see if any of the new guys want to share any proud jobs/moments... go on dont be shy
