  3. I hope this is the right section to post this. So my DMM steel thimble cord used as part of Tefuelberger Pulley Saver failed LOLER. So rather than spend £70 on a whole new one, I thought I'd save a bit and just put new 8mm cord into the original steel thimble. Does anyone know a method for getting it in. It's so tight, I can't push the cord into the hole. Is there a special tool I need to use? Thanks
  4. The clearance is ZERO. I reckon the top of the conifer is basically touching the line. It's a small domestic line. It's in the guys front garden. Got to be under 11k volts. Thanks for that. I'll contact Northern Power Grid and see what they say.
  5. Hi looking for some advice please. A customer has a small conifer tree directly beneath a low voltage, possibly insulated power cable which runs over his garden. I'm struggling to find out which power grid company I need to contact to arrange a temporary shut down. I've searched Google, and it's not very clear who I need to speak to for the Derbyshire Dales area. Please help!
  6. Thanks, I'll check them out. It can be daunting when you Google for first aid training and a hundred different providers come up. No way of knowing which will be any good.
  7. Can anyone recommend a good course provider for First Aid At Work 3 day course) preferably with forestry? I'm based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, so somewhere within 50 miles around would be handy. Needs to be 3 day course as it's a requirement for Assessor and Instructor training. Thanks
  8. Thanks Slack. That's interesting, not sure I'd want the responsibility of running my own courses. But worth thinking about as an option. I'll see what the Lantra people say when they get back to me.
  9. Would you say it was worth the effort and money for you? Do you get enough work from it, and does it pay ok?
  10. Thanks for the replies. I'll get in touch with Lantra and see what they say.
  11. I've been climbing 9 years, and still love it. But am tired now of having to pick up sticks for a living and mess about with chippers. Plus I'm getting old. So i want to start moving my career away from day to day tree work, but still use the skills I've developed as a climber. So I would like to find out more about how one goes about becoming an arb instructor and assessor. Can anyone out there point me in the right direction? I'm based in the East Midlands and struggling to find nearby training providers who i can speak to. Thanks
  12. So I've gone and bought a 2511 now. Should arrive in next day or two. Couldn't find the model with carving bar, they seem to be out of stock everywhere. But I'm happy enough to get going with the 3/8 bar for now. It's high time I replaced my old Stihl 160t battery saw for light work, I've had it 7 years and it's getting tired. Still works though even after clip broke twice and dropped out of tree twice. Those battery saws are tougher than they look.
  13. Yeah I have a 2 in 1 sharpener. Loved it for a while, but found it wasn't really getting the chain sharp enough. I'd end up taking the round file out and using on its own to get a better tickle on it.
  14. Yeah Ive heard it's better with carving bar. But they are a pain in the tits to sharpen those little chains.
