Evening All,

I guess its a general question but is there a good/better MC for Oak before its put in a kiln, ie, what MC should I reach air drying before kilning ?

Thanks,

Al.

Good to see some of the more mundane aspects of tree work.

 

Good video, well done

More mundane ?! I'd rather be doing that than must residential arb work. Horses for courses I suppose.

It's a misconception that anything on the General Licence can just be killed by anyone whenever they feel like it. Rooks are on the General License.

 

If it flies, it dies.

Rooks ain't protected, they are on the general license. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/568045/gl05-birds-phs-licence.PDF

That's a fair point Rob. In the end I went with a product from Ronseal designed for outdoor hardwood furniture as it covered all the bases. Turn out good.

PM Sent.

Norway I think....

Does anyone have any advice on a good finishing product/oil for Maple that will be outside.

Thanks

Al.

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking along the same lines. Maybe it's time to buy a bigger saw....

What's the largest Lo-Pro bar a 441 could run ?

Thanks,

Al.

What's worse, using a top handle on the ground with both hands or using a ground saw one handed above the head for a cheeky little crown lift......

You have to remember that fitness is a generic term. It's about being adapted to what your trying to do. For example a professional cyclist is fit, but would not be 'fit' if he competed in worlds strongest man, and visa versa. So you may not be fit when it comes to doing Insanity workouts but climbing trees you are. It's all about what your adapted/conditioned to.

I bought some parts from Multiplant Ltd a while back. Very helpful and quick delivery.

That's horseshit. There's a Waitrose near me that has a car park (and is signed as parking for Waitrose) however it's a council car park. I was only in there 5 mins, most expensive pint of milk ever !

I like the X Ring idea, looks sweet.

I basically ruined a rope from this. Just glazed it up from one long retrieval. I started using a ring, but it's nothing on a pinto.

What's your name on Brushtalk?

I started on there as 'Stirrer', but now go by 'Matt'.

Genius, just genius. The only reason I come on here now is for your comedy gold Mark !

That certainly looks like it will help a lot with the friction issues you get sometimes with retrieval. Have you tried the alpine/pinto anchor ? That helps a lot too.

There will be someone out there. As much as I enjoy climbing (most of the time), I would rather be away from it all, saw and combi can working in front of a machine.

I'm a 14. I have had Arbortec Scafell XCRs in a 14, good boot but a little pricey. I'm currently using Prabos A1RB's, only had them a couple of months but they are going well so far. Arbortec's new Scafell Lites are also available in a 14. There are a few about, just got to look a bit harder for them.

Someone's got to test these things out mate.

That's my boot after I hit it with a 560XP running 3/8 sprocket and chain. Cut straight through to my sock, without them I would of lost all my toes and most of my foot for sure.

I've just lost one of the hooks on my A1RB's. Not my HASS boot though, think it must be from wearing spikes.

The one in Lymington got done a few months back. I think all they got away with was some horse feed ! Sod the chainsaws and Barbour jackets lads, get a load of this !

I know a chap who replaced his Defender with a Ranger and he is a very happy man. I don't know what he thinks about the difference in towing capacity or MpG. I think he's still in shock about how quite it is, comfy it is, and the lack of water coming in when it rains !

On a serious note I'm planning on doing the same next year. Love Defenders to bits, but....
