  1. Really smart looking benches. Is your wood seasoned by yourself?
  2. I lived in one in north wales for around 3years. Loved it, I want to get a piece if land over the next couple and put one on it I hope. Maybe build a roof over it and clad with timber.
  3. Where are you based MOG? I lived in balaclava and worked in elsternwick.
  4. Hey rob do you live in the static?
  5. How do you plank the wood? Do you have a bandsaw or a chainsaw mill you use? --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?zyeacl
  6. What climbing system are you using Tom d?
  7. Any pics? --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?gaxery
  8. I know what you mean stump I don't care about what they were doing it was funny to talk to one of them and sit back and watch them make a mess, all the while knowing that i can do the job correctly.
  9. It must have had an effect though so hopefully the tree will be left as it is. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?2cmpi2
  10. Ha ha just milling about! Well apparently they aren't going to do the tree now, they cut just one branch which is dripping loads now!
  11. Apologies to our American friends:). I just find it hard to take in that people can be so dumb about trees!
  12. I've just been outside milling about when I noticed that the neighbours were having some work done. 3 blokes, no chainsaw protection, jeans, trainers and no helmets! A ladder was put up the walnut and one of them looked over the fence and asked me would it be okay if some branches came over. I asked him why was he cutting it and what was gonna do. He replied he was topping it. I said if you knew anything about the tree you wouldn't do that. We had a little discussion and it confirmed he was a fool. I know it's none of my business what people get done but would you not expect apparent professionals to act and look professional? --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?x01q0z
  13. What's the best way to ascend on the hitch climber?
  14. What do people think if the treemagic?
  15. Potatoes top of the morning to ya!!
  16. Ye once I got to the top and a good anchor point it was great craic moving around the tree. The hitchclimber was very good from descending from high up!
  17. I had another go yesterday climbing a wellingtonia. I found one in caversham which had no deadwood and some good anchor points where I could get my throwline over. It was alot easier than Saturdays and I got to the top! Does anybody know where there are any coastal redwoods in the Berkshire, wiltshire, oxfordshire or Hampshire areas?
  18. :thumbup:Ye if your lanyard was about ten meters long!!
  19. Hi all, I had a go climbing a Wellingtonia today but found it quite difficult. Getting a good branch to put the rope over took ages because of the way the branches slope down. The tree was around 30-35 metres tall but I only got to around 17 metres. Does anyone know any good ways to climb them?
  20. Pedro, what does the hidden hitch look like? Any pics?
  21. Only just got my dog back and the first nit she slept downstairs but since then she had creeped upstairs until now she is currently on the bottom of the bed!
  22. Definitely be getting one, which one though? Decisions, decisions.........
  23. Ah well new Zealand isn't far!!
