    Been to the bone cruncher and all back in place. Rest tomorrow, then back at it Thursday.

    Put my back out Sunday, chiropractor is today at 3pm. Hot as hades anyway, get the lad to do some mechanicking today and tomorrow. Not a great start to the summer.

    Bold move in this age of photo recognition on iPhones. Good luck anyway.

    He’s warmed up, Ronnie Wood seems to have lifted him.

    I would have loved to report that Rod Stewart was great. He wasn’t I’m afraid.

    I guess weight and ease of manufacture is a factor as well.

    Great vid and explanation. TBH the thing you’re highlighting doesn’t seem to be an issue. Be interested what real engineers make if it.
  11. Mick Dempsey
    That’s the nub of it.

    Looks like the flywheel of a GM. What are we supposed to see?

    I was googling a bit and that bench around it looks recent.

    Very sad From the pics it looks like the whole thing just collapsed on itself. Cedars are a bit brittle. Looking at the before pic the needle cover looks very thin. They can die off quite quickly, I hope that wasn’t the case here and a decision was delayed to fell.

    was it Super Hans?

    Pulp….. brilliant.

    Could Gary Numan look more like Derek Zoolander? (in a Chandler Bing voice)

    Must have lost touch around The End Of The Century I guess.

    After Slade it’s all been a blur!

    Buncha joyless farts. I never know modern bands until they start singing their hits (that I’ve heard on the radio) The Script being a case in point. Good band.

    We use a 542 battery saw in the tree for dismantling trees, and the equivalent rear handled ground saw as a chipper saw, cutting forks etc. Couple that with a good coms system and you’ve got a smooth, safe relaxed rigging environment. The real test is what people really want to use, ie what they take off the truck when there’s a choice, and those two get used the most. Of course the petrol saws come out for felling and bigger cross cutting.

    Well of course it’s my opinion. But it’s an opinion based on owning and using battery saws in tree work for a while. Yours is based on having a play one time on a course. At the moment they can’t match the power of the bigger saws. Doesn’t mean they aren’t preferable for other work.
