-
hahaaah Cheers i never even noticed that
-
I know where your coming from mate but take care all the same I still cant figure out how to do multi quotes on this thing yet Taupotreeman i hear you there, why is it silky cuts bleed so much? it can be just the smallest of punctures but the blood flows like its the biggest.
-
Wow that is a stunning piece of wood:thumbup: I need to get myself a mill but i would probably get thrown out of the flat when i start hanging the bikes out the window to make room for it
-
I am the same mate, I have watched the vids and i just cant see how it helps at all. I will need to get a shot of one before i figure it out i guess...

Just noticed a little spelling mistake... on your kindling section you say they "come in convenient microfimalent nets" looks like you got your m and l mixed up in microfilament. other than that it looks good to me -
seriously? is that even legal? you need to get a groundy mate, what if you hurt yourself in the tree? not worth the risk IMO.
-
come down? dont you have groundies to send it back up for you? i dont drop it often anyway so no need to worry, just need to remember not to try and catch it:blushing:
-
Tried that before but its just another thing to get caught up in twigs etc so i abandoned the idea pretty quickly. Trying to catch it was just the automatic reaction of a tired climber, not thinking quickly enough and just throwing the hand in front of the spinning blade from hell hoping to catch the handle:001_rolleyes:

great looking table Jonathan

Sorry to derail this thread slightly but i just heard this joke and i think it fits nicely in this thread:001_rolleyes: Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The birch says he cannot tell. Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in." :lol:

If someone came out that door i guess the lack of steps would be the neck breaker instead of an axe in the melon
-
yea but with my memory every time i read it its like the first time i need some miracle laser etching direct to the brain i think:001_rolleyes:
-
At least you dont get slapped in the face from whippy brances though

Lion tailing is where you take off all the small twigs/branches from each main limb and just leave the tips (it looks like a lions tail). Its not good practice as it puts all the weight and sail on the very ends of the branches making them more likely to snap out in high winds.
-
OUCH!!! That looks sooooooo sore! I dropped mine the other day and made the mistake of trying to catch it, needless to say there was blood involved but nowhere near as bad as yours mate. i say again OUCH!!
-
Why do you say that?
-
If they think sitting on their back sides reaping benefits is a hard life they should try working for a living! If i had no self respect like most of these fools i would gladly live the easy life like they do.
-
nice one
-
It even has a dimpled chin and a turned up nose great pic Gerrit:thumbup:
-
I heard it was going to be a harsh winter as well but i will believe it when i see it. To me a week or 2 of heavy snow doesnt really constitute a "harsh winter" as the last couple of winters have been like. Bring on the 2 or 3 MONTHS of heavy snow fall and i would be more likely to agree on the harsh winter idea but until then i will be happy to dust off the snowboard for as much fun as i can get

that second pic needs another home in the "faces in trees" thread

I like the Fiskars pole pruner to get to the tips and Silky Zubat pole saw for the thicker stuff the fiskars cant handle. As for the thinning itself that comes with experience. I always break the tree into sections like quarters or eighths and work on each section at a time, working from top down unless its real hairy and then i work from bottom up or you just end up making a huge nest for yourself. Look at each group of branches and decide which ones will become problems later, like crossing/damaged branches and take them out first then if you still need to take more then look at which ones are being suppressed by others or occupying the same space and take either one out depending which you feel is best to leave. Always make good pruning cuts and try to leave the crown as balanced as possible and you will do good work.
