  1. wow now your almost getting into 3 strand nylon territory now. Dont you miss it? nah me either ooh i can still feel the blisters:thumbdown:
  2. ouch yea its best to let the heavy stuff go or it just hurts (from experience). Its hard to do but once you hurt yourself a few times you kinda get enough time to think twice before catching them.
  3. Here we go again, You tell me.... Last one was on the same stump as the first 3 photos so i just stuck it in there as a bonus point:001_tongue:
  4. Cool i am glad it wasnt too bad in the end. You should get plenty beer tokens out of that then or will it just keep you in sandwiches for a day? Why do you wait a year before putting it in the kiln?
  5. i like that never heard it called that before but i think i will start using it instead of sycamore from now on, has a nicer ring to it than vomit some more:lol:
  6. maybe i am just slow today but what has that got to do with anything on this thread?
  7. a customer should expect to pay what you ask for the job, not per hour. As has been said, there is too many variables to give an hourly rate to a customer. Price the job as is, if it takes you 1 hour or 10 hours it doesnt matter as long as its priced correctly.
  8. I was just using the ugly kid thing as an example of the sue everyone society, probably a bad example i know. As for someone stitching a cut then i would be happy whoever did it as long as i could see they were doing it to my standards. If it was a cut anywhere else other than my hand i would probably do it myself if i had the proper equipment, nothing worse than sitting in A&E for hours and then a nurse or even a doctor just washing it out and then stitching it in 5 minutes and sending you on your way. I could do it myself so i would or i would let someone else do it for me and i wouldnt even think of the word liable, thats the difference. I wasnt trying to have a dig at you elg and i am sorry if it came over like that.
  9. good saves
  10. whats with the screw gate? is it as damaged as it looks or is it just the dodgy photo?
  11. Liability?? you mean having your friend sue you for trying to help? Thats so american that elg. Was it not the case once a child sued his/her parents because he/she was ugly and so was the parents, so the argument was they shouldnt have had a child because they should have known it would be ugly???? You americans need to chill out a bit:001_rolleyes: Anyway as for the OP i wish i knew someone that could or would do that for me, would save so much wasted time waiting in A&E while you bleed to death.
  12. gotcha:thumbup1: I mostly use mine while climbing anyway so i dont need a huge reach. Its good to just sit in the middle of the tree and be able to prune all around it without moving. At our age every little helps eh
  13. never used any silky loppers, didnt even know they did them... here is what i use Universal Telescopic Garden Cutter / Cutting Tools / Products | Fiskars UK they rock
  14. i noticed that too:sneaky2: I have taken to closing it very lightly so now i am waiting for the moment it opens on its own and spills oil all over my feet:thumbdown:
  15. :lol: to right! While i am here i might as well have a wee moan... NAILS my nice shiny new 346xp clobbered 3 of them today and i now have half the chain i had this morning grrrrrrrrr
  16. Man that sucketh! why do people do that with nails? pees me off no end. Hit 3 nails today myself on some cypruss that looks like they were used as fence posts:sneaky2: I hope you get something out of it cos its a cracking big log.
  17. root systems are less likely to be damaged in woodland environment so the merip has to fight harder to get a hold?
  18. looks like someone hasnt done his windblow ticket...
  19. Very nice:thumbup: sure wish i could carve, cant even do a mushroom without it looking like a bell end:thumbdown:
  20. :lol: i was thinking the same haha simple minds eh
  21. works for me:001_smile:
  22. Not at the moment but if you PM me your number i will keep you in mind the next time i am knocking down a fruity one:001_smile:
  23. small trees = up to guide bar length medium trees = 1.5 times guide bar length large trees = twice guide bar and above solution = bigger guide bar:thumbup1:
  24. pure mung this end, cold and drizzly all day
