we seemed to have hijacked your thread - sorry I dont know the answer to your question m8

I always ask for anything that will stay in tune -9 gauge

I have see it - what a guy - not just a good jazz guitarist - I think he made the first amp

I had a tele custom one piece maple neck - nice low action - was the easiest electric ive ever played - should never had sold it Ive got just one proper electric now my gibson les paul standard and I have a takamine g series electro acoustic

maple fretboards too but not as hard wearing as rose and ebony - maple fretboards are not s good on tone

Jammy sod - nice easy dare I say relaxing job:thumbup1:

wish i lived closer - nice part of the country - go metal detecting occasionally around your way

I leave pegs on when chogging down but not the climbing side

very sad news indeed - posts like this are reminders to us all to be as safe as we can

Allot of what we do is a compromise of what should be done and what the customer wants! I know it's a case of wrong tree wrong place and the structure be it safe or not shouldn't really come into it, however the customer loves the tree and simply will not fell, she wants a crown reduction and wether we do it or somebody els does it, that is what she will get. At the time I felt cobra bracing may have been the way to go as it does not support the tree but acts as a backup if things where to go wrong. I even felt so strongly for the need for it that I was prepared to instal it at a parts only cost! From the feedback of this thread my understanding of compression forks have changed and I am now happy with carrying out a crown reduction as the customer wishes. I get paid, customer gets a smaller tree, tree doesn't get felled(yet) Thats How I do It, you have explained the faults and poss consequences, given her the options and let her make a choice - its her tree:thumbup1:

There is a lot of testosterone in this industry - bear that in mind too

for £50 .00 a day you could probably get a brash dragging bitch cash in hand - but a good groundie is worth more

if they are staying you have got to reduce them and get the soil level back to the original level - both already stated If the garden is relatively small - consider felling very poorly formed - another option is to do the above but also replant with a well formed tree with a view to eventually replacing it when the new tree has established itself somewhat

best birds in our garden are sparrow hawk and a pair of bull finches we also had a broad bordered bee hawk moth one year

how did you manage that - got a stream running through the garden or is it sardines on the bird table:confused1:

i hate it when there is a load of trees and on every one its "crown thin 20% " they have not looked at the trees individually

there is a new arb mattress available for such a situation:laugh1:
