I think I have to agree with you if i had just seen this example and not your original post i wouldn't be interested in making a lamp !
-
https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/evolution-evo-system-evo200-6-5hp-petrol-eng/ have a look at this not exactly what you want but might do you
-
great idea but I would cut the top and bottom off first then drill
-
we did talk about LED ... i would assume they wouldn't create that much heat? they certainly create alot less than other lamps . I will ask and get him to post.

np i saw this and thought i could make that ........just need to find a suitable piece of wood as i have split everything ready for the fire gave another brother of mine a load of plum gorgeous reds,orange and purples through the grain don't think he has ringed and split them yet! as i want a free standing 3- 4 foot one

I was discussing this with my lighting design consultant (my brother who really is a lighting design engineer ). Particularly to do with the electrics he said that the light is either two lights with the wiring through the bars or it is a single light with a reflector at the top. For me the reflector makes sense, as it would be far easier to make and he reckons the single light would give the same effect as 2 lights, as long as you made the reflector convex, spreading the reflected light rather than a flat surface which would just send it back where it came from

I didn't apply the pressure i moved the saw the tree moved unexpectedly, it trapped the saw while i was moving it , there was very little pressure on it , I was surprised it snapped ................... I know how to use a silky I was explaining how it happened to me as it was quite likely that the saw got trapped as he pushed it forward to continue his cut . You have to put some pressure on the saw on the push otherwise your saw won't move he was also likely trying to cut quickly and by the time he noticed a problem with pressure on the saw(from the tree) it had already snapped as it is what i did or it could of snapped on the pull ! currently don't know if that is the case hopefully the OP will enlighten us
-
yeap snapped the end off mine on the push because the tree moved when doing the second cut on a v cut on a small tree (couldn't be botherd put kit on and getting a saw out for a quick job ) i put put too much pressure on the push the saw flexed and snapped there not indestructible
-
thats cool it's actually a shame to use it outside would make an gorgeous wood flooring in my house
-
gorgeous wood !!!! but why no expansion gaps? won't it hold water especially in winter making it a death trap to walk on ? plus become fifthly really quick ?
-
my heart bleeds for them
-
the hassle you can get is the reason why i don't do jobs through peoples houses (unless i know them well just done a turfing job for a mate yesterday mud everywhere as it had to be hand-balled through as the front door was too narrow for any trolley or wheel barrow but is good mate so not worried ) either that or i over charge for the job that way i can take my time and guarantee no issues but i tend not to get the job because of this reason
-
well if you get paid per hour you do what the customer wants but most people i meet won't pay for that ! also the lawns i look after that are bothered about weeds generally want me to use weed killer or do there own treatments
-
better off just spraying it with LAWN WEED KILLER faster and cheaper too!!!!
-
it can always be dug up but moving anything is a danger of losing it if the root system has moved you should be able to move it back easily and then stake it once corrected . push at it and see if it moves if you have to undermine it a bit on one side do so as long as most of the roots are good you shouldn't be more than 20 mins work
-
is that not just the same as a carabiner ? without the locking mechanism ?

Training employees.. Fair and reasonable?
Cheesy pete replied to benedmonds's topic in Training & education
this I have come from a grounds maintenance back ground self employed i would and still can earn far more than a freelance climber doing this !!!!! this should not be the case why? i'm self taught and just work hard do a good job and get paid well ! tree surgery is or can be dangerous! you top climbers (of which i'm not one ) should be earning more than me pushing a mower around !!!!! when i climb i want to be paid well but i know i'm not good enough to earn £150 with any tree team (not enough experience ,fast enough ,just not good enough ) but i get paid over this amount on a regular basis for the tree work that i do ! what does that say about the industry? or more importantly the employers value of yourself !!!! it tells me 2 things tree jobs are either undervalued or employers undervalue their employees / subbies end of rant -
it is best practice Image trying to cut a flip line !!! if you ever have to rescue someone without a cut away strap it makes the rescue a lot harder as there will be alot of pressure on the system and you will have to unhook them they may actually be out cold and thats a dead weight up a tree and some of you guys are damn heavy !!!!
-
i assume that this means they are no longer there and if so why do you need to know what trees they are ?
-
and........... it came in the post today brilliant!!!!!

Felling on a small slope…
Cheesy pete replied to maria warwick's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
depends on your felling skill !!!!! i'm personally not that good i just don't fell that much i do highway pruning or have to dismantle when taking trees out because of my skill set i would climb and knock the top off less chance of damage for me -
don't care if it is a miss take i just orderd one as i was in the market for a new axe
-
as far as i know there is no option for a lopper head for the hayate only the hayauchi has that i also have the lopper head but don't use it too often
-
the real difference is the blade i have both one is hardened steel (hayate) can't be sharpened but says sharp for alot long than the hayauchi i do alot of highway stuff where it is just light pruning so is used alot the blade on the hayate hasn't gone blunt in over a years worth of use i can't actually say how long it last because i accidentally snapped it in half and had to replace the thing with my hayate is the weight i have the 7.7m version and is alot heavier than the hayauchi in fact when i now use the hayauchi it is like using a toy !!!!! i find the hayate a better saw for cutting even quite thick hard wood (it will cut 6 inch oak at a push but a chainsaw is much easier ) i find because the hayate is a longer saw when using it on the third extension (it has 4) which is the the simular height of the hayauchi fully extended , the hayate doesn't flex anywhere near as much as the hayauchi and makes it alot easier to use as to the weight issue .........i got used to it
