  1. I was talking to a NPTC trainer who was do a tree job with a company and there grounds man put his rope into the chipper wile he was climbing he cut the rope just in time , and the grounds man ran like the wind as he was making his way out of the tree.

  2. I get a friend of mine to make them with a table saw out of ash , that way if I catch them with the saw or leave them behind it fine and cost nothing. But I have have 3 plastic one as well.

    The wooden one are good for cross cutting large logs to keep them open.

  3. Drove to north Wales last week (Bangor) and found this working out the sate mine in the mountains... looked at many units recently but thus is true credit to former owner... Looking for full or part time driver if anyone no's someone who's looking for work????

  4. I live in Dublin and I can't find anyone or anywhere that can give me info on to do the course , I have CS30 up CS39 , MEWP , wood chipper , safe pass , man handling. I've even rang the ESB and nothing NO one there knows anything , is there a NPTC course (did not think of that) so there is people out there just need help to get in the door.I rang two company and they had no time to talk , just want people with 3 years training on the job, if you don't give us help , there will no one to replace the older lads when they leave. Just me.

  5. I started in school and from there did 3rd level and trained in the great out doors , worked all over Ireland for about 2 years (not a great life) ran just about every river here and like other people here did the Liffey decent about 8 time in my life , canoeing clubs are the best way to go , they have the people and gear to help you out and in winter they run courses in pools (warm) and there is canoe polo great fun , try and get to a lake in Wicklow a few time a year now that's about it.
