  1. This was an excellent course, if they run it again next year i recommend going.
  2. Are there any good books or guidance on carrying out reductions that anyone can recommend?
  3. Ok just to clarify then. I dont own this rifle i merely found it. it went back to its rightful owner the same day.
  4. Working for the MOD a few years back ive found Bullets Grenades Mortars Phosphorus bombs Tanks Tanks full of ammunition Bombs (various) An SA80 Rifle That is all Exciting times
  5. Its heavier than the old 260
  6. Depends when as im due to be up that way in a couple of weeks.
  7. shame imnot closer i would have definitly bought some!
  8. Ill set the scene a friend recently attended an interview for a conservation job and was asked If the chain is creeping and the idle speed has been adjusted and the chain tensioner is fine what could cause chain creep? The answer if i remeber right from what he said is The clutch plates are worn and its causing slippage and The bearing behind the sprocket is seized which also causes slippage. This might not be exactly right its been a few days. So ive worked with C saws for a long time now and i didnt know that so i began to wonder what else i dont know so i'm going to brush up on bits of info like this. So my point is where do i go to find this kind of stuff out, the little quirks or the random bits of info that is not usually known, i thought the manual but its basic at best. Any ideas?
  9. yes mine went in the first few months, was using a safety pin but afte ra near miss changed to a cable tie.
  10. a 30 second internet search i found this.
  11. It means you live in an area with very clean air, it isnt a problem.
  12. I'm in a similar position but with the Arb cert finished last year and will hopefully be doing the Tech Cert this year, already have my PTI but struggle to get interviews when applying for jobs, even more disadvantaged with a lack of Tech Cert.
  13. This And yes i've been mixing fuel for a long time and never before had problems this is also why i rfuse to believe that its fuel related, its going off to another fitter next week will be interested to see what he says.
  14. Thanks i was pretty sure i was right its just we have had a 261 fresh from the shop for a few months and hasn't been right since we got it, everytime it goes back for "fixing" we are told mix is wrong and i was 99% sure this wasn't the case. Thanks
  15. Is the fuel/oil mix for a MS 261 exactly the same as the older 260's? Thanks
  16. Unfortunatly i didnt take any closer up photos than that which was silly. Nope not Conifer it was a monolith'd lime tree.
  17. Thanks for getting back to me. The mess up the stem was almost like mycelium sheets externally rather than between the wood, im sure you understand what i mean. It was really weird have never seen anything like it.
  18. Would this be panic fruiting by Armillaria? What is the mess up the stem? its not actual a HF fruiting body as such. Also in the previous picture how can you tell if the fungi is sterile?
  19. Hi I recently passed my PTI 3 day course and it never really went into report writing and i dont have much experience with writing them myself as all our inspections are done on a pre-forma sheet supplied by my employer. Would anyone mind sending me some tree inspection reports by any chance? I just want to get an idea of layouts, details, wording etc. Inbox me and i can send you my Email addy to send it to that if thats ok? Thanks
  20. So basically Skilled labour (me) £80 is about the average to ask for?
  21. Is that normal? seems a lot!
