  1. My story is I did my 30/31 and did a bit of weekend work then jacked my job in and went on my own. It's been hard graft and I do grass cutting during the season as don't get enough tree work to fill in every week. Do your course and learn from it but also find yourself a good subby climber that you can learn from and work with. This way has worked for me so far but just buy the tools you need as you need them as it will keep the costs down
  2. Just use 18mm ply doubled up and a few clogs on the head of that works well. If you get four sheets put two down then the other two on top in the opposite direction
  3. If he did sand hurst you can check when they passed out and got there commission think it's printed in the times. For more info check on arrse as it's a wealth of knowledge for a bit of Walt hunting
  4. Good point Steve that's the ones I'm using just now for saw work and wear well as you say
  5. Have a look at the engelburt Strauss there in your price range and are rip stop as we'll I think mine have lasted well
  6. If I'm right in thinking I used the same oil for a week in my strimmer and it was belching out black smoke so took it to the shop to be looked at. They said it was because of the oil being thick and not burning properly so went back to using the stihl super hp and had no problems since. Hope this is of some use
  7. Very nice looks expensive but a boy has got to have the toys ( sorry tools for the job )
  8. Il have to keep an eye out for you on the road:thumbup: can't say I've ever seen one on the road before
  9. I'm on my second pair now and sofar been impressed with them
  10. I just have the ifor mesh sides and line the headboard with a tarp which you can then pull it back over the load when driving so the chip is covered
  11. Very nice looks a great set up if only I had the work to be able to justify something like them
  12. Been blowing hard all night and day with snow and trees down all over the place but no call outs yet. The lighting was mental this morning lighting the room up through black out curtains.
  13. Not used one like this but personally I'd buy a few lengths of the bits you need. Start the hole with the shortest one then keep going up to the next size if that makes sense
  14. No you just flick it on when you want to heat your hands up
  15. Sounds good to me:thumbup: will have to try and sort it out in the new year
  16. +1 I'm a joiner to trade in a past life:blushing: I've tried most makes and only used makita for the last 5 years as it last the best. As above buy the drill then get the impact driver or keep an eye out for deals on screwfix tool station
  17. Now that sounds a bargain might have to send mine off in the new year. What mods did you get done?
  18. Nice one goes to show honesty is the best policy

  21. That's just what I thought could be worse and have been the god awfull green and brown ones:lol: you never seen those in the glossy leaflets or frank wearing them I was told you got nike air max:sneaky2:
  22. Just a quick bump before I go to plan b
  23. The guy who I sub to sometimes uses a 30 ton jack with a plate but it has a welded ring for the piston to sit in and also has a separate plate to use on the bottom to save the arse of the jack bowing out and sinking into soft/rotton wood
