  1. surely all chainsaws, even cheap imported stuff, work to the same basic principle, and within reason could be taken apart to learn the basics behind them, stipulating a make and model suggests more, a bit like me wanting to learn how motorbikes work, but can it be a red & white honda 1300 please
  2. tupperware did something very similar many years ago (christ Im getting old)
  3. a good reply, as a woodland owner I can thankfully say to my knowledge I don't have any wood thefts from my wood, in all honesty I've not seen a living soul since december, but as above, apart from the wildlife/insects etc, irrelevant of whether its laying on the floor or not, it belongs to be not anyone else, so get orf my land... I do have a woodland owner friend, that sadly has a big problem with wood theft,
  4. if your still worried get him to pay by paypal as a gift, no charges then apply
  5. ratcatcher

    Cake!

    thats a work of art mate
  6. easy, follow jasper's advice
  7. sorry, should have been more specific in my answer, I've just bought a 7 acre woodland, that has hazel everywhere, most of it ready for coppicing, but not done as yet, as it was bought more for family enjoyment and the sporting rights, we wont be removing too much of it, wouldn't even know what binder-size stuff is?
  8. without knowing what bird it is, this is not necessarily true, if for instance it was one of the pest species, and fouling from the area directly below was causing either a hazard to health or a slip hazard (guano when wet can cause injury) then he would have the right under pest control to remove it, even if it has eggs and or chicks in it check out the "general licence" (google it) for a list of the pest species,
  9. my first vitara was red, and often referred to as a hairdressers car, so did this to it
  10. for a number of years Ive been a vitara man, whilst secretly looking at pictures/videos on the net whilst she who must be obeyed slept:blushing: but couldn't help myself yesterday, I went the whole hog and bought a secondhand freelander, funnily enough its the same year, same cc and same colour as my current vitz, but diesel rather than petrol, it was the boot space that pulled me in, and the fact the rear roof comes off, so ideal for lamping. now I have to worry of the shame, will I start wearing land rover based clothing, will people look at me funny worst of all, will it be stuck in the garage having repairs more than I have hot dinners:biggrin:
  11. I have a friend who's a camera dealer, he advised to stay away from nikon, and go with cannon, of course he did me a very very good deal on a cannon but he just told me, to look on e bay and compare prices of camera bodies to see the difference plus more lenses available in cannon
  12. cheers rob, good of you to offer the 10% to even new members like myself
  13. yeah, look good, I'd want the dedicated Timberjack, do I order via the linked webpage or here via you? and yes, have a go pro, and will do some video, but not professional, just me in my wood
  14. although probably frowned upon, why not one of these combinations, bought myself one for our woods mainly for the strimmer/brush cutter, but the hedge cutter works well too 52cc Petrol 5in1 Hedge Trimmer, Chainsaw, Strimmer, Brush Cutter, Extension Pole | eBay
  15. I could do with new teeth, will my dentist be able to fit them?
  16. I bought a husky new online, and my only cert is via u tube:blushing:
  17. I get an idea of what your saying, which I like as Im a tight git, but could you expand a bit as Im not up on the tech names of items when you say aldi puller, do you mean a hand winch?
  18. great clip, his mum (?) thought it was fast, has she been on it kids were made to be test dummies,lol
  19. don't know if its different in your own house/garden, but within woodland you need planning permission as its a fixed structure, although we call them deer spotting platforms for woodland management, which gets round that little loop hole
  20. thanks for the replies, we were going to test it the redneck way camp over, get everyone drunk, then dare the heaviest person (biker) to "have a go" I've got an old tyre but where to get a spring?
  21. probably something like this ZIP WIRE TANDEM TWIN WHEEL PULLEY Zip Line Trolley with sealed ball bearings | eBay with a harness fixed under it?
  22. it really makes you wonder how our ancestors ever survived with all this H&S stuff don't it, just saw a news story on another forum about a supermarket removing packs of monkey nuts from it's shelves, as it didn't carry the warning, "may contain nuts"
  23. just remember, green side up:lol:
  24. I suppose its down to weather your self employed or PAYE, we use harnesses in pest control, ours are 3yrs, then they are binned, well not binned they find there way to my shed, but from our companies point of view, they are just covering their backs, should any accident claims be made against them, a harness is cheaper than a law suit. self employed, doing a competent check on any harness, checking any cuts or frayed stitching is surely down to the person using it, any accidents due to the harness, what would you do? sue yourself
