    There is no law anywhere stating this. Design C is strongly recommended by HSE. If you can justify in your risk assessment that Type As are appropriate you shouldn't have a problem.

    If you want to appeal to the majority on here, might I suggest hardcore gangsta rap?

    But "safe rigging" is so 2013! I hear you though, but I suppose with the GRCS the temptation is always there to take meaty bits

    Nowt wrong with that, music aside Lowering was decent. If you did your step cuts the other way around (top cut first, then bottom) it would prevent logs snapping prematurely and almost floating downstream

    A button so the when your other half walks in you can press it and it swaps to a search for valentines presents? I think this is more a computer feature than sonar talk feature

    Haha difficult not to capture colleagues and properties if your filming from above! Unless people want to watch a nice vid of the weather to the tune of chainsaws! If I edit out the blue talk and cock ups then I see no reason why my employer would object to me sharing a seemingly well executed and professional job

    That's fair enough it's not really a big issue for me. I just don't want to be unable to contribute videos of my (albeit comparatively mediocre) work because of ownership disputes. Tbh as long as I don't take the mick with my boss I think he'd be alright.

    Hi Mr B, I think a more dedicated vid thread is a great idea. From my perspective though, I'd be happier if it was a members only thing. I work for a company. Whilst my boss is happy for me to video work (he gets a copy of anything I film for advertising) I'm not sure how comfortable he'd be with his company's work being published openly, without me having to check with him for each clip. Would this be possible? No big deal if it's impractical. Also a request section on the video thread could be handy, I.e. Somebody requests: "how do I back up my lanyard whilst spiking a stem?" And another person agrees to film a clip next time they're doing it. Or am I clutching at straws?

    Dan's would get a like

    Easy now fella, what're you hoping to achieve? Bit early to be drunk isn't it?

    026 melting

    Joe Newton replied to Flocks's topic in Chainsaws

    You certain its melting and not just solidified crap and oil? Get a screwdriver and scrape it out!

    Thanks for reminding my Max, the odd naked bloke in some of the ads too. Gotta have something for everyone...

    The way your prussik was set up. Looked weird, and unnatural. I thought you'd done it all wrong until I realised you were one of satans minions

    I used to use an unrelated forum with a "rep point" system. It became elitist, petty, and people in various cliques would +1 each other for agreeing with each other, and neg rep people with contradicting opinions to their own. I think it would be a terrible idea for Arbtalk. Oh, I'd like all advertisers to have mandatory nudity in their logos.

    Hahahaha

    Maybe it's that kind of emotional bullying that's forcing him to flee to the other side of the world. Or maybe it's the big sweaty men.

    It was a quick substitution. The original word woulda got filtered

    Very good. Ironically I've just watched the film "Lawless". A film about bootlegging, and coincidentally the surname of the mischievous fairy that started this thread!

    My girlfriend is away on conference, I'm bored and just sitting here looking at my new airstreams. I'm seriously considering driving to derby, just to throw some over ripe fruit from my fridge at you
  20. Joe Newton
    I hope you get bitten in NZ
  21. Joe Newton
    Same. I never would have done that, no quick descent if needed, until I felled a top onto my line a while back. Took ages to sort out and was most embarrassing. Didn't realise you were cack handed mate

    So was his carpinus...

    Oh Doobin you silver tongued rascal. Let someone else have a pop at the new girl!

    The 056 is 81cc, Super is 87cc, and Magnum is min 90s I think. The 056s the op has are Supers
  25. Joe Newton
    Good call, the 056 is an 81cc, 11kg (plus bar/chain) beast. I bit overkill for firewood!
