    Bizarrely, very busy at the moment, often there’s no rhyme or reason to it.

    Hi Simon, Firstly, I’ve used your blades for years with no problems, just so we know where we are. Some questions. Is it true that you use steel from the same Uddeholm foundry as the OEM manufacturers? (Ie. The same raw material) traceable back to origin (bs5750 iirc) Can you go through the manufacturing and hardening/tempering process with us on here, perhaps with pics? as I am interested. In another life I was a salesman of metals to engineering firms so retain a penchant for this stuff.

    Can’t think of a better way of spending the evening.

    I’ll give you 10/10 for effort exposing that root. That most have taken a lot of work.

    Bulgaria maybe?
  12. Mick Dempsey
    Yeah, I guess, but 5 young adults? Anyway, what do I know about youth.

    Re. Those youngsters who died in that car crash, didn’t any of them have ‘find friends’ on their phones?

    I would say here where I am (south west rural France) we’re around 20 odd years behind the UK in regards to paperwork and regulations. They’re just starting to bring in RAMS and stuff. I regularly see farmers in the buckets of telehandlers cutting branches off field side trees. Im sure I’ll be retired before these things start to gain traction here, thankfully.

    Hire company technicians don’t use chippers and don’t understand how to keep them in best working order. One hire machine (that I bought) had stock fencing around the roller shaft and they had sharpened the blades (circular Greenmech ones) by machining the front face, making them thinner, and moving them further away from the anvil. A lot of prejudice against certain brands comes from hiring poorly set up examples. Could be that taking a mass order/easy buck from hire companies can be counter productive for the brand as a whole.

    Yeah, we don’t know the details, so there’s some speculation of course.

    Any climber who is trying to catch a top that big is 100% in charge, this isn’t just a nod and a wink lower of a branch. He should be in charge of everything about that operation imo, including the groundy’s positioning, edit, including how many wraps are needed.
  18. Mick Dempsey
    And who’s responsibility was that in your opinion?
  19. Mick Dempsey
    He didn’t have any choice! The rope pulled him in

    ‘Anything broken?’ yes mate two ankles.

    Don’t know how to sorry! maybe someone else can?

A series of miscalculations and ‘doing it for the Gram’ leaves a guy with serious injuries 1: piece too big. 2: groundy in line with the piece. 3: Why neg rig? Nothing but dirt underneath.
