  1. I do use a dremel if the blades haven't been sharpened in a while, or have recently taken a hammering from wire etc then maybe finish off with a flat file to get a better edge, but if it's just a honing then I go straight for the flat file personally, think the dremel can take off more than wanted if your not careful
  2. Hi Geoff, am I right in assuming your from Essex arb? I heard they got turned over recently, but the main reason for my post is that a friend of mine has noticed a lot of Stihl tools popping up on eBay located in latchingdon. Bit of a coincidence aye, may be your tools, and ebayers beware!

  9. thats mad! This happened to us today! Would upload the picture but im sure you can all imagine a chipper without a wheel lol Not in kent tho but near maldon way...

  10. i assume a camera wouldnt help in this situation, as it faces forward it wouldnt catch the suspected ass#hole falsly indicating
  11. Hi all, We are getting desperate for a site to tip off, we work mainly around: Maldon, witham, heybridge, burnham on crouch, chelmsford, all the surrounding areas.. We usually have a fair bit to get rid of, 7.5tonne truck worth. Any sites with ideally hard standing would be greatly appreciated, or even if you know someone who does want chip. Please pm me the details Treepuncher

  14. Hi all, bought a 150 about 6 months ago, And im amazed its only now due for a little honing, i have a pack of 1/8 files which i was sold to use but was told there are no file guides for this saw So, as the dealer offered to to prepare the saw for collection i do not know the chain specs, ie file angles, pitch etc Also, does anyone know if there are now guides available ? Much appreciated Treepuncher

  18. Ok... apart from the drugs stash we found last week which would have easily given me a year or two off work should we have kept it...should have taken pictures... here is my latest. No, not a bird box.. but a "geo-cache"... shame.. inside was alots of kiddies toys and a note pad with a long lists of dates it was checked so i left a sorry note with the date and left it on the stump.... the last picture is of a random what looks to be a novelty CD holder... i broke it in half while pretending to copulate...
  19. bumping as another position has opened, Have specified NPTC basic saw qualifications including CS38 Aerial Rescue please do not contact me as im just putting the advert on for me employer thanks
  20. Ok, so i bought a pair, First impressions were they are huge and alot heavier than my golds, I find i cant walk properly in them and cannot bend, even after wearing them in a bit, i think they would suit a person with wider feet rather than my skinny ones, climbing was a joke. I do admit they felt solid, and well made tho I may put them on ebay i think, and buy something else
  21. Once we removed the sail, and unnecessary big wood which wasnt touching, came down and winched up off the house, then resecured 2 ropes then chogged down the rest,
  22. ok heres my little bit of action for the day, we had quite a few call outs... but....before we could anything, we had to remove our willow which crashed across our yard carpark, the lads see it drop and said if i was 1 minute earlier i would probably had been squished as it fell where i park everyday Then we it was onto call out number 1, eucy onto a house, was a bit difficult, no way of getting a mewp or hi-ab in.. so it was a winch,rope and climb jobby, didnt get anymore pics, was too chaotic lol
  23. Thats pretty cool, i wonder how easily spares are available
