:confused1:blimey:confused1:

same ere:blushing:

Just been out with dogs, really is gently breeze clear skys, colder than it has been for ages

Light shower and gently breeze:001_tongue: beating against the windows, and the trees are swaying well so long as the dont come down on me landy or the car.

I KNOW there plenty of pages about trousers in/on the other pages but there mainly about and for the climbers. Ive done me home work. Im after info about A class For the past 15 years Ive just gone for the bottom end cheapest stihl or husky's that my local dealer has had at the time. The older 1's were great for winter work as they were far to thick to move in but kept ya warm, normaly, & last 1-2yrs. 90% of chainsaw work is hedgelaying, so thorns,bramble etc barbed wire very close (i known that will eat trousers) the rest is ground work or ground felling, logging, snedding, chipping so who has what and your thoughts ! current pair of stihl's on there last legs ECONOMY PLUS trousers, Design A - Attractive entry level model have another pair older style for spares, or change Looking at Foirdland (where the zips on the back ? side, middle, behind the knee ??) dont want pockets sticthed on out side they get caught. Orgeon Yukon ?? Oregon Waipoua ?? looking around the 100-120 mark not chaps/leggings, tried bib n braces versions as well never again

http://www.wessex-trailers.co.uk/ got to be worth a look at depending where you are. got 8x4 plant been great last 6 yrs, only thing would change is to have flat bed

Enjoying playing with new starter Draper Redline 8mm/1/4" Plunge Router with Straight V Groove & 45° Chamfer Bit from ebay . Bigger and better than Dremmel copy I was using

Plus a few more now were finished

" dont have any regrowth pictures as i havent been back to the area" getting back to a job seems hard for us all to do to get the re-growth pic's time /location etc

Remeber me saying about a picture on the side of a rd.... well thats the 1 I ment, good stuff

Anything Ive had out of a hedge and has got 2 ends

Glad you joined us Steve plenty on here in one section or another, not just the hedging side of things

Wife found this on FB to be in Xmas special Shooting & country times I think

that you Steve ??

Morning afternoon all well as title states, What am i missing, can load pictures all ok no worries, (normally using Attach files) but cant sort out getting writing in between pic's should I be loading up using url link instead ?? also any pc boffins Ive just changed to windows 8... transfer pic's from camera to pc need to rotate some, do that fine no problems, go to up load onto here and there in there "old" rotation wrong way round Maybe a long way round but have found that if you open rotated picture in paint, then just save it. It then retains its correct rotation load it onto here and all ok !!

Current Job 300m couple of pic's

Thanks Graham & Chris so rough figures rounded up £500 would get you 770 stakes 2per yd 385 yds. mmmm will call him tomorrow and let him/them know...... be interested to see if thats what they ment good luck with tomorrow Chris, as I said sorry I couldnt help out tomorrow hope all goes well. Ive got contest Sunday not sure what weathers ment to be like

Small story wont bore you all with it. had phone call today from someone I know, there family members involved with some charity (not in the hedging circle's at all) wants to know how many split chestnut (and the word they used sounded like STAYED, STAID !!!!!!! didnt get & not sure on spelling, Im sure they mean stakes) but any how Its for some hedge thing all a bit vague as we don't use em down ere but how many split chestnut stakes/stayed/staid would you get for £500 and what distance would that cover in say Midland/SoE if that what there for:confused1: they didnt say anything about binders/heatherings sure someone has an answer thanks. What ever the answer will be, Im sure he will come back with another question. so out of interest what would say 10m's worth cost and they can "times X " it from that and work it out from there for ball park fig, is it about 4 per 3m/10foot Is split chestnut used ???? thought it was mainly hazel

What style do they want as well, Midland SoE ? or other

Well time has passed, and things have progressed a little, been getting better , been doing ok with plunge router fitting on Dremel copy. but looking at getting better router as I said before. I checked out the screw fix link you sent me muttley9050 in early post what others would be good anyone just so I have something to compare with, looking for plunge router, no wiser about "bits" as yet so any help there would be great. the few "signs/name plates" Ive asked to leave have all been greeted with what a good idea, there good , etc... so pleased so far, as you can see from pic below, just nice n rustic

pouring down, but sunshine, n chilly
