  1. :thumbup1:Cheers mate...yeah a little far but appreciate the offer! would,nt mind swapping some help on a job for some pointers on use of one! Sorry to say I,m one of those people you can explain how to do it till your blue in the face, but show me and you,ll only need to do it a couple of times. Cheers Matty:thumbup1:
  2. Cheers Rich.....I will take this on board when purchasing. my only concern is retrieval, although everyone says retrieval is easy. Trouble is mate I think i,m just a bit old school sometimes and may need to spend a day with someone who uses one regularly. That way I could learn the does and don'ts Cheers Matty

Thanks in advance Matty:thumbup1:
  12. Hi Jon....I don't do wood turning mate thought it might make a couple of quid for charity by the way the stem is 42" long and about 4" round

  24. To be truthful silky I think I realised my mistake when you mention pulley saver earlier, The answer is yes normally....but didn't on the oak today as it was a large split limb removal at 1.30 so wanted to get up and beat it off asap. Maybe should have gone old school as the apprentice calls it. Friction saver from now on:001_rolleyes: Cheers Matty
