British Leyland. The golden years!

Just gutted Eggs. The sad thing is that the talent is there. It's just not getting deployed right. When Greg Dyke says that reaching the quarter finals would be deemed a "success" that just shows that the culture and collective mindset is all wrong. We have some great players. It just feels like they get fed a diet of mediocrity and it comes out on the pitch. They are capable of much better. Lions led by donkeys.

Kids in this country only seem to play on Xbox and play station . I can't remember the last time I saw kids playing football on the street. The football culture is all wrong in this country. It's hard to see us getting an England manager who will be able to inspire and organise our national squad so that they play as a team greater than the sum of its parts........ Like Iceland or Wales. There's no winning culture. There's no expectation. No belief. No sense of adventure. It's very sad.

When I read what the EU leaders were saying about Britain after the result I realised how much "respect" we really had in Europe so providing we can get a decent government in place over here I think it could be a good thing we've left.

Cos I saw the gospel according to Indiana Jones 😇

I think I do recall seeing it on your thread. Looks like the holy grail. 🙂

Thanks Paul.!Sadly it's getting burned. I'm seriously thinking of getting an Alaskan or similar. The lads that do furniture restoration could make some ace pieces with some of the timber we cut down.

Dismantled a dead redwood today. It was dry as a bone. First proper dead tree I've done so it was a good confidence boost,

Ringing up a big stem. Schoolboy error. Might of known you would torment me for it! 😭

Sugihara bars, pro lite type. Does anyone know if they can be straitened once they have been bent? I guess it depends on whether they are case hardened or through hardened. Any definitive answers would be much appreciated. (Had a slight mid-hap with my 18" one) Thanks

Had all mine (horrible home made jail ones) laser-ed off. So glad they are gone. It hurt worse than having them done in the first place. Well worth it.

Reducing/shaping trees without an eye on the ground.

One of the best pointers I've ever heard! Can't wait to try it. 👍 . -
No you need to use baler twine for that application Bob. Although the baker twine must have a CE mark 😁

As long as the tilt and crowd function can be locked off on the hydraulics it should be fine. A PLANT HIRE do man lifting cages for hire for this very purpose.

We use 10mm ocean polyester home made slings (double fishermans) with DMM revolvers for ziplines. They can also be used to set up mechanical advantage set ups. They work best with 13mm host rope as the revolver gates don't open very wide.

Thank you Richy. You worked really hard and we did really well to get it done especially in the pouring rain. Thanks mate 👍👍

I've considered getting a newer "posh" 3.5t tipper but I've come to the conclusion that a 3.5t will be almost constantly overweight doing any kind of arbwork. I'm just going to stick to older models as they get hammered too much. We've had a good strong chipbox made recently and I'm thinking it will be best just to swap the box over when the tipper expires. If we can get two years out of a cheap tipper then I'll be happy This will reduce our exposure to the big outlay required to finance a newer model tipper. I'm really not keen on spending big bucks on a truck that will never really be fit for purpose. Having said that, the Japanese stuff does look more capable than the UK stuff and has the bigger engines.

Mad Max film sets have nothing on your yard, Bob. You have some ace kit mate 👍

If you can't scribe it on the gate due to the knurling it is permissible to etch it on the spine of the Krab. Just remember that you mustn't remove any more than 10% of the material. (It is very unlikely that you will do that just by lightly engraving numbers on the spine)

For me I'd say that any situation where I'm likely to knock the top of the device it's safer to use the HC. Congested conny bashing being one example.
-
Sounds vaguely familiar.......

You'll love it. Very similar characteristics. I went from Blakes to Prussic to HC to zigzag. Did think of going to a spiderjack but didn't fancy having the on/off lever in a work situation.

I feel your pain..,, I'm scared of heights myself. 😱

You could always catch a "backy" with someone on Mad Sunday....

You can't pack what you don't have Rich!
