    I most certainly will do , I'm fairly new to carving so no guarantees it's gonna be very good but i really enjoy it and shall certainly be having a go. My biggest problem is getting the timber to carve Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Hate to sound like a boff but didn't do my climbing ticket overly long ago and was told that legislation states that for use by an arborist min diameter rope is 10mm and min diameter friction chord is 8mm Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Very good for first attempts mate, liking the detail for the feathers, I've done my first 2 barn owls in the past month and quite enjoying them, I won't post pics here and risk stealing the thread haha, keep it up fella Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I have a jo beau m500 which is amazing but a little out of budget I think. The cs100 would do you well and if you have the money and get in quick there's one on ebay at the moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251301209563?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Failing that, maybe have a look at the gtm pro? http://www.abbeygardensales.co.uk/subprod/commercial-chippers-0000510.aspx I have no experience with these so cannot vouch for them and will also probably get slated for suggesting them but personally I don't think they look bad for the money Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Have been on and off of smoking for a while now and have been using a disposable electric cigarette from tesco and it's okay but doesn't always satisfy. Just wondered if anyone here uses any electric cigarette and does it work for them? If so what are you using? Thanks George

    I'm no expert as im fairly new to it all my self so don't take my word as gospel but off the top of my head you will need at least cs30,31,38,39 and chipper ticket, own climbing kit, saws, fuel and ppe, your own public liability insurance, experience with rigging would be beneficial and just generally a wealth of experience and knowledge of the trade. If your fresh out of college I would suggest ringing round and get your foot in the door as a subby groundsman/second climber with a couple of tree firms and work your way up from there. Excuse the punn but you need to work from the ground up so to speak. I've learnt more from just watching climbers than I ever thought I would and as a result my climbing ability has come on leaps and bounds despite not even doing a lot of climbing. With enough hard work, perseverance and determination you can and will achieve your goal. Wish you the best of luck and hope everything turns out as you want which I'm sure it will

    Surely a fishermans doesn't take 10"? It's only a couple of wraps around something smaller than my little finger and a tail? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I shall get a pic as soon as I'm home and post it. I have what I believe is an 80cm armour prus e2e on my lanyard in the same configuration and its almost twice as long as the Marlowe braid vt. mist admit, I was surprised when I could get a vt out of a metre but seems to work Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Laugh all you like, it's true and it works well. Its 3 wraps 2 braids I believe and that's using 8mm Marlow braid friction chord with fishermans, I like it nice and compact an it's worked fine for the last 2 lengths, will get a pic as soon as I get home Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I would tie your friction hitch first as I find I can get 3 vt's from 3 metres and as stated above for cutting

    I know a couple of blokes that use the rear handle 150 for carving and they love it. They just use the bar and chain that the saw came with

    Oh and nice vid by the way, really shows what these little saws are capable of, I couldn't be without the echo, don't even know its on your harness Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I know I haven't got any where near as much experience as most of you so im only talking from my personal experience but I just use the silky for 3" and less, sometimes maybe even a little more than 3" and use my little echo (which is practically the same saw as the ms150t) for anything up to 8" or so, I don't really see the point in the extra cost of a saw if all your going to use it for is 3-4" timber, just seems like a waste of £300+ to do what you an do with a silky that's already on your harness

    Haha been racking my brains and resetting the page wondering why I couldn't shrink the page on the I phone till I read the little edit

    Used to shoot a lot when I lived in devon but don't do it any where near as much as I would like to now . Have 2 shotguns 1sbs and 1 o&u but my pride and joy is my Brno cz550 22.250, me opta scope, Harris bipod, and a moderator. best shot I ever made was at 530yds, not sure I'd make the same shot now mind haha
