I think it is paramount to have faith in your equipment, system and what you are roped in to. I know what you mean Spruce Pirate, I find at about 60-70ft I often start double checking, I just have that sense that I'm pretty high.

Does firewood actually dry in cord form?!!!
Marc Lewis replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Firewood forum
Also if you are limited to under cover storage. Cord can be stacked outside. -
that makes sense Goaty. Looks like that will be a nice hedge Dean

If he does not have a receipt/record of them being brand new they will need a loler or if they are brand new, unused but 6 months old they will need a loler. Yes I find graphite powder excellent for freeing up sticky krabs. I have used wd40 or similar in the past and find it works well, is this acceptable?

With beech etc it is recommended to double row them, is this not the case with yew? That is not a criticism, I am asking Because I don't know the answer.

Go Jimmy, what a bowler. Best reverse swing bowler in the world IMHO.

The clip broke on me last week, exactly the same as in your picture Watson. I usually lower the saw but was unable to on this occasion and the clip broke and saw hit the deck. Fortunately I was not very high. People have asked the question 'Do you lower saw, do you clip saw up when moving around the tree', this should not matter, the saw or rather clip should be more than capable of holding its weight when dropped on a lanyard as this can happen all too easily. Be aware of this because it could be costly!! Apart from this, I am really happy with the saw.

Thread for Josh Noon - Timber Vol / Lorry etc
Marc Lewis replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Firewood forum
Hey DCD, what's the 'x0.7' calculation, is that for air space in the stack? -
Where was that footy match to Mat, Child Okeford? Drove through Milborne St Andrew on way to cricket yesterday Mat and that corner really is a very blind one!

I'd say more of a thin than a reduction, but a nice job all the same. Good job.

Completely agree. Every man and his dog price the big jobs so price will usually be tight. And as Mr Bolam said, if your not kitted up for the big jobs, i.e hiab etc, then it takes time and a lot of hand balling. It might not be uncommon to have a couple of tranny loads of saw dust!! IME the bigger the job/tree the harder work it is also. When you're younger its great doing the big jobs (don't get me wrong, I do still enjoy them), but now I prefer a little birch section, in and out in less than 90 mins, £180 thank you.

Not the best place to overtake dropping into Milborne St Andrew.

I'm with you. I was thinking before employment commenced or as a freelance, as per the original post
-
Surely an employer can require you to have any ticket/cert/qual that they so wish, or am I missing something?

Best way to judge weight of what we lower
Marc Lewis replied to treemanG's topic in Rigging and roping
I can't see how a chart is going to help. You would need to measure the log for the chart to be accurate. You only need to know roughly the weight of the section of wood to be lowered because you will/should be working well within SWL. -
Employers often require you to have 'first aid at work' (1 day course).

I don't think you can go too far wrong than with a Willans for your first harness. Though like others have said, if its not comfy, then its not good for you.

Cheers Spud, much appreciated
-
dunno about that!!

Does anybody have an answer to my question above please?
-
If I tried repairing with a heli-coil and it was not successful, would I then be able to attempt a time-sert repair or would there be too much damage. Sorry if the answer is obvious but I'm not familiar with these repairs. What I really don't want to do is knacker what I already have.
