  1. U2 seem to have uploaded there new album to my phone without asking. Anyone else with an iPhone have it?
  2. What you mean? Plenty on our vermeers at work, although I think some lads don't know what they are for!
  3. Ah yes it says that on the link he posted.
  4. Ok I'll try and find out what it is on the google. I'll ask my dad, he may know about it
  5. Ok yep does sound better than running rope thru a biner, and simpler than a pulley, what are they made from?
  6. So an x ring is just a woopie sling with a metal ring is it? Why not just use a 'biner ?
  7. Do they eat everything under 3 inches and then cut the rest up for logs?
  8. Typical builders Do all the work underneath first then take the trees down. Builders can't wait for busy tree surgeons
  9. Is that a 6 inch or bigger?
  10. If it was me I would get a tw150 tracked chipper cos you can take the hopper off and it'll go thru a narrow gate. And I would have a little trailer made for it so it was easy to use still attached to the truck
  11. I remember Atlantic 252 on LW radio used to play the best music
  12. Yes I have just consulted my newly purchased tree fungus app and I would agree with ganoderma resinaceum Good app by the way I am trying to learn my fungi and hope to get out int the woods this weekend to find some
  13. Maybe put up your prices slightly, get a few less jobs, earn more money and have more time
  14. Hi Phillip, a mate at work replaced the bridge on his petzl harness with one made from 10mm friction cord. He tied it to the rings with a fisherman knot.
  15. Keep two hands on the saw when sawing logs on the ground- and hold logs up off the floor with your foot, this way you will not cut your hand again!
  16. Ha! Maybe I should get married then!
  17. A few years ago My boss shouted out the window of the work truck ' sit on my face' to a young lady who was walking past, but she was quick to reply 'why ? Is your nose bigger than your.....'
  18. Ah, I'm no expert, I just had the same problem as you when I was growing up. We had barn owls nesting in our barn and they used to make an awful racket! Also sometimes from dusk into darkness you can hear tawnies hooting and if you can make a hooting noise they hoot back
  19. Don't have a block use a flying capstan or wrap round the tree
  20. I used to help my dad lay his own hedges I loved it! He made me trim out the grass and brimbles with a hook an stick before he steeped the hedge and then I had to help drag the brash to the fire. It's a good thing to do for the youngsters
  21. Dosnt look very straight might get 6 foot lengths? Looks a it knotty. I think Alaskan mill is your best bet and cut into short oak beams
  22. Yep, and use a bit of vasaline to lubricate any moving parts
  23. Think last time I went in a pub in Devon they had them, can't you get them anymore?
