Have you made anything from the pear yet? I've got a few boards left bit they have split a little I've still got side largish chunks of branch wood aswel the local turners won't pay anything at all for it so unless someone comes up and offers me more than firewood value is going in dumpy bags I'm afraid. I would even be happy to let a small amount go in exchange for something made from it

Bore and release in that situation and just tickle the saw threw the last bit of the city rather than the traditional remove the saw and cut from behind. Works wonders in those situations

funny you mention your age and occupation i was 23 and working in a Tesco warehouse absolutely hating every minute of it by the age of 24 i had made up my mind to leave and go back to college and study horticulture. for the 6 months before i left the thought of leaving a secure job to chase a dream scared the bejesus out of me. im coming up 28 now and have been self employed since leaving college and have never been happier

No I don't think they are lol we went last year and there was loads we missed out on so this time we are going back with a plan (as much of one as can be made with 5days notice)

who would offer a fellow arbtalker a few days work. due to an unexpected lul, me and the wife want to take the kids on a camping trip to france and, always looking for a different experience i would love to combine this with a few days work just to see how much practices differ. cs30/31 and 38/39 own tools, climbing kit and ppe. im not looking for millions of euros a day or a full time position more just the chance to work new places and meet new people

I noticed the same around Keswick last week whole blocks of woodland going brown with the rest of the stand unaffected didn't drive close enough to see species or age/size e.c.t but it didn't look good from afar

always thought gear was safe down your way Pete saying that certain minority's don't discriminate with areas was the kit in the tipper back or locked in the cab? hope your insurance dont mess around much and you get sorted fast enough

If jay offfered me a few days work I would jump on it four hours is nothing travel wise I have travelled from Middlesbrough to Dorset for work in the past you just have to remember that you are not just gaining a wage you are gaining experience, contacts and a possible reference these are easily worth as much as cash on your hand

its not the soil you want sampling really as most weedkillers available to the public tend to be based around glyphosate witch becomes inert once in contact with the soil whilst there will be tests that could find traces of weedkiller in plants/soil there isnt a company or organisation that offers it
