I've only seen guidance that relates to householders, but does the same guidance apply for a workplace/ workshop/ commercial building, etc?
-
Haha! It's what iggle piggle uses for pruning in the night garden Rumour has it that the pontipines have been struggling with the Silky GENKI and took out their neighbours!

Yep, the Natanoko 60 is an amazing tool. Natanoko 60

Yeah i did see the video, and it looks brilliant. Big shame that nobody is making or supplying them here. Any other bandsaws worth considering?.... that is, portable ones.
-
Didn't know you could get a bandsaw unit to fit a chainsaw. Who makes and/or supplies them in the UK? We're going to need loads of weather boards cut for our barn, could be from oak using a mobile chainsaw/bandsaw.... sounds like much less of a workout compared to doing all of it with an Alaskan.

Arbtalk Annual Charity Raffle and Prize List
SteveA replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Arbtalk Christmas Charity Raffle 2013
good on you Absolutely agree, is a very worthy cause. -
Too windy to be in the woods now, in pembrokeshire. Did manage to cut a big spruce this morning and used the top of it for our xmas tree. Is really nice to have something a little more unusual.... has a double leader. For the first time is a great feeling to be able to get a tree from our own woodland, for free, and without any fuel (cut it down with the silky - took a while!).

I don't know if it is or it isn't stolen and it's not my photo and i wasnt the one who posted it. jeesh, i'm just looking out for people landing themselves in muddy water here!! Maybe this could be clarified by a moderator?.... please. thankyou.
-
Yes, and how do you know it's not stolen? Are you 100% sure the copyright holder posted this image? Same goes for the stolen chipper example.... how do you know if the person selling it is the actual owner?
-
I do agree!....but the point I'm making here is that others may not, and thats when things can get very messy with lawyers issuing demands for £thousands. just looked at the arbtalk rules: "You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material."
-
And, once that stolen chipper is up for sale on ebay?
-
.... a photograph up for sale (or license) is a product. Equally, a photo can be an advertising tool.
-
(nice photo though)
-
Yep, photos are tools to photographers.... and 2 wrongs dont make a right!
-
.....don't mean to soumd like a pooper, and if it was my photo i'd be happy if it was shared on the forum. Sadly the stock libraries dont tend to see it that way and I wouldnt want you to get stung like others have. Just saying its best to ask to share to cover yourself. Another way of looking at it is if someone used your work tools without asking first you might be a bit miffed about that.

Best to proceed with great caution on sharing other peoples photos without permission.... although sourced from a 3rd party doesn't mean it's a free for all. If it were me I'd ask Steve for the photo to be deleted off the forum; just not worth the risk.

....so very sorry to hear this Matty. Life can be so cruel at times. Very best wishes to you and family. x

I can see how useless a fixed thumb would be but wouldn't the hydraulic one work alot better? The F R Jones description says "The RSL Thumb Grab excels at logging work/brash and waste clearance" ....but i've not seen one in action. Have you used this one Doobin? I've also read that some grapples are crap at scrub clearing, so not sure what to believe!
-
Here is the hydraulic thumb grab on F R Jones ....£425 inc vat, which sounds a fair price. Anyone used this? And, would it be any good for pulling out scrub, brambles, etc including the roots? Hydraulic digger thumb grab | F R Jones and Son
-
What dya think to the hydraulic thumbs for mini diggers, like the one in this video? I like how it tucks right out of the way under the arm and that it can be used alongside a standard bucket, bit of a multi-purpose tool without having to changeover. Looks far more useful than a fixed thumb. F R jones sell something similar to this, i think: [ame] [/ame]

From what i've read it is the best splitting wedge you can get, and yeah i'll let you know how i get on. The Fiskars X27 axe arrived today - it's surprisingly light in the hand. I gave it 3 strokes through the Fiskars sharpener and that gave it a really good sharp edge. The sharpener is plasticky but it definitely does the job well.... I imagine it would get damaged easily if something was dropped on it so best to keep it away from heavy logs, etc crushing it. The axe head protector cover is quite handy as it has a handle for hanging the axe up on a wall. Ideal for us as we have a 2 year old and he already likes the look of it!! Not had a chance to chop anything yet, hope to get 10mins on it tomorrow; here it is:

I don't think i've done anything wrong - I would love a revolution in religion & politics, starting with an end to all war, so we can then all get together with a mutual respect for taking serious action on climate change. I would like our 2 year old son to inherit this.

oh bugger, my fault. Obviously need a pair of specs for reading specs
-
ah, thanks. Is a bit misleading of husky with the way they've quoted the spec then. But regardless of the difference in cc... overall, it's spec says it uses less fuel than the 550xp and is more powerful.
