  1. Very good . If you had not said Fox I would have thought Wolf with a neck that thick but a thousand times better than I could do !
  2. The picture on post #10 shows at least a foot of untouched stem . If the initial cut was going to fail it surely would have done by now . Once it goes over , doing it the way I suggested , you may find it articulates around the failed cut but you will be out of the way any how . when it hits the deck it may separate at the initial cut containing the stuck bar but hey , so what . Just me .
  3. Even at ground level ? (were I would have cut in the first instance ) Not knocking your advice Matty , just what I would do wrongly or rightly
  4. Start again at the bottom were the stem is most vertical . Put the gob facing in the direction down between the racks or rows . ( at the moment it would fall into the other trees it looks ) . Chase your back cut in quick and keep your head back in case it " chairs " . You will then have a stump at the right height as well .
  5. Not alot of fun mate . Did some thing stupid my self once . Extremely hot , cutting yew hedge for cancer drugs . Wearing shorts . rested single sided Husky cutter on my thigh before it had stopped . you can imagine the result . Hope you heel up soon .
  6. Ah , yes . That bloody Issac Newton , he was a fraud !
  7. My Gran used to sing to me 10 little n--ger boys sitting on a fence when she was washing my hands for dinner . I was about 4 or 5 at the time .

  9. Missed the bit about fazing in your 16 year old daughter in a years time .....
  10. Walking the dog this morning before it got tooooo hot she started fussing around the sheeps water trough . went over and in it was a barn owl . This years chick I recon . Fledged but not fully grown . With the hot weather he must have gone for a drink and fell in . Fished him out and put him over the fence in a rape field in the sun to dry out . Went back an hour later to check and he was still there . So scooped him up in a towel and took him to " Brent Lodge " wild bird sanctuary/hospital . They will sort him out then call me to collect and release him back were I found him ( not in the trough of course ) . Put him in the cat box to travel him so not good pics but hey .
  11. I read somewhere more pollution is released in the manufacture of a car exhaust cat than it ever stops in the lifetime of its use .
  12. Get some one else to do it Eggs ..........

    As said the lightest one that can do the job . Having said That , there is no law against having as many saws as you want ..........Start at around 50cc and work your way up to 60c , through to 70cc then on to 85/90c and up to the 3120/880 territory . You wont go wrong there ......
  17. Sorry . I thought they were scheduled for feeling > Which is it I am confused now .......
