    bound to be shot down in flames - but will guess it's ganoderma applanatum, not willow bracket this time

    It should be more difficult - I thought a consultant had to know a lot of stuff - things that take years, not weeks to learn

    so good it seems like a fake, he'd have made a good barman in the old days before digital cash registers

    Tomorrow perhaps

    maybe the chainsaw operative is thinking this way too now

    So 200kg extra , I guess the only difference is bigger engine and uprated springs, both handy. I like my 35c14, but did notice at the time some nice low mileage heavier Daleys with the big engine for less money, if what Donk says is true youll need a bigger trailer to fill up

    You must have read more posts than me I thought he Just got a website redone so people phone him to deal with woody plants. As for the crim - i almost did a spell for nicking pound coins, but boss didnt report it - evil surrounds us Eggs is like a tyre fitter on the chefs forums, telling them to charge more than the kitchen porters, ok if the restaurant has a Michelin star

    I would ask about his thoughts on the environmental impact of population growth

    BigtreeDon and Rough Hewn have both posted pics of chainsaw powerheads kept in their homes. I sometimes use my hallway. Wish I had a bigger place - a downstairs spare room would be great for secure storage

    the neatness of cut doesn't matter - as long as they got paid and nothing damaged bet quite a few multi-trade have been injured/killed felling leaners here's one example - https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/face/pdfs/12mi033.pdf

    the throw hook - is it any better than others - available to buy?
  12. tree-fancier123
    so someone came up with a tether using two magnets, looking at the review it's been out before my post on the idea, so I haven't had a new idea :c https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=21&item=17226#detail

    at about 10 minutes in the linked vid another type of throwhook being used, possibly stays on the branch more often than your one https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/112263-taz-lov-2/

    laughing all the time?
  15. tree-fancier123
    Don't know what it weighed but don't reckon it was anywhere near 2 ton! 26'' x 8' 6'' larch felled 3 years ago, anyone care to guess? under a ton, sorry not a guess in the truest sense of the word http://www.woodweb.com/cgi-bin/calculators/calc.pl

    Swearing sometimes makes writing more exciting and fun, gives it a down to earth feel

    For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known

    found this up against a fence, hiding round the back of what I thought was a healthy oak
  19. tree-fancier123
    it would have to be sex related

    thanks for all the advice guys - much appreciated. I've ordered the series 2 DVD anyway - bound to come in handy on the back door birch
  21. tree-fancier123
    wow thanks - exactly the sort of advanced stuff I was asking about - I just knew there would be secret methods, will have to part with some cash for the DVDs. I don't expect all this fuss will save more than 10 mins as opposed to branch walking - but I like the bravado of it all. Will Heals tale of the barbers chair is food for thought - sure can be a dangerous game. Can't help thinking about Terry from TH trees - all the dangerous stuff in his work and he died in a crash in his BMW. It's not enough to be safe in the trees - everything in life has to be made safe. Anyone who makes it to retirement age is very lucky indeed.

    And two trips on to Salisbury, they would have liked to get there earlier on Sunday i guess, but Sunday train times. No time for the Raymond Revue Bar or whatever its called now
  23. tree-fancier123
    Yes it had it's place, but many variables and no one wants to see anyone hurt! Film it though, it may make the famous tree felling fails compilations! Ha Ha - I'm not trying to be a daredevil, just wondering how the pros go about it. Surprised a bore cut doesnt feature at all - maybe technically difficult to do properly when suspended from above - or the forces involved are too graet for a holding strap at the top to keep the branch up. Mick's flush with the trunk tear cut seems to offer the limb the least chance to split. On the day I will be nibbling off 3ft pieces and enjoying the revving noises
  24. tree-fancier123
    Didnt have a particular limb in mind, just wondered what tecniques people used for freefall cuts where there is space to drop it, lopping it in one does seem risky but fun, maybe theres a secret way that no one will tell
  25. tree-fancier123
    I'm only a gardener doing a few trees at the mo - not been invited out to destroy the nations treasures -12" is a massive limb to me. So, as you are another one saying just walk out and piece it down, that's probably what I'll do to start with. Interesting link above to another thread mentioning the Coos Bay and triangle cuts, will have to buy the G.F Berananek pdf - zero to hero for £20
