    That's the ones Jon, I didn't know they did hand powered ones, the wedge looked like a handy felling aid, but they went for ££££

    Bad news, did they cut their way in or lever door off? Saw the MOD auctions were selling off portable silent hand pumped hydraulic cutters and levers the other day, wonder who bought them....

    Which one do you use Dan? I tried one that sounds like yours but the battery life was only a couple óf days.

    Done, and good to see another dealer near here

    Dr. Julian Saunders :: Dodgy Elbows Similar to the macleod advice, the negative dumbbell exercises fixed my elbows

    Defra, UK - Science Search This short report on which fungicides were successful via foliar treatment may interest you Paul if you've not seen it, hopefully there will be similar success with the stem injection trials.

    Lumberlover, may well be a target type canker caused by phytophthora either with or without the presence of chalara. Definitely contact FC plant health as David suggests, as depending on your location you may have only the second incidence in the country of this.

    Any of the Husky FX or FXT series clearing saws, paddle thumb throttle and shorter shaft. Have an 555fxt, is epic on bramble/scrub with a mulching/shredding blade

    What is the crown density like? Might be worth mentioning if it's less than 2 1/2 to 3 years worth of needles.

    That's awful, good reminder to be bloody careful where you charge anything overnight.

    I'm being harsh towards chinese ebay stuff, mine have been fine, but you hear of charging issues with chinese lithium gear. Saying that a client nearly had his stores go up in smoke overnight, when a charger from a branded torch failed and set fire to the carpet, since then I don't charge anything on a flammable surface wherever it's come from.

    I have a couple of chinese ebay specials that have been better than expected, but no guarantee they won't go up in smoke tomorrow. Watch where you charge them, but they have been good enough to forward by/work at night with, and are miles cheaper than petzl etc, which seem not to last long anyway. CREE XM-L XML T6 LED 2500 Lm from delhanway2009 on ebay, but lots of others sell the same

    In case it is of use to others, after a bit of persuading Oliver's in Kings langley (by j20 M25) have got Apsen in, just 5l cans of aspen2 at the moment

    I use it a lot for both arb and forestry surveys, but have gis software to manipulate it prior to use on site. If you notice anomalies bluesky are good at re-processing for you.

    Worth getting yourself a copy of this book from the FC Forest Mensuration: A handbook for practitioners ISBN;9780855386214

    Simon won carvers choice same as 2012, says everything about the eye/preferences of the judges really, imo.

    It may be worth speaking to your insurer first, as I suspect they would need some convincing to expand your PI to cover loler reports without supporting tickets, and details of how you will address impartiality.

    Hi Nick, Consider who will be looking at your quals, BSc will probably mean more to folk outside the industry, if that is important to you. Also consider the reputation (and awareness that they exist) of the university/department where you study amongst employers/clients.

    Even if the lines look fine, if they are old probably worth changing to rule out small cracks you may have missed. Re. carbs last one I did it was cack on the ends of the needles, so had to remove the plastic guards to get a flat head screwdriver on them, to get them out. Hope you get it sorted.
  23. Andrew McEwan
    Good luck, my elbows hurt thinking about it! Then buy one of these beastmaker.co.uk - beastmaker
