  1. my immaculate er6-n, although wont be for long as the missus says I have to sell as we now have a baby on the way, nice bike though!!
  2. I am a metal head so here is a few - [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame]
  3. I thought I would share some pics of my sons chainsaw birthday cake that my lass and mam spent a fair few hours on to create. I think it turned out well!!!
  4. Thanks for that, you were right it was the clutch. The circlip that holds the sprocket on was slightly of (must not have put it fully when had the sprocket of), so it was pushing down on to the washer then on to the sprocket causing the problem, sorted the circlip and it fired up first pull with no chain running at tick over.. saved a trip to a dealer for something so silly!!! cheers
  5. I have ms241 c-m, less than 6 month old and had very little use. It worked fine yesterday, then today the chain started running when idling for some reason, switched it off now it just wont start. Any ideas? Hoping to save a journey to the local dealer cheers
  6. I thought I would put a couple of my latest creations on here for some constructive feedback, the tortoise was my mams idea for a mothers day present for my gran, I am pretty happy with him although cartoon like!!
  7. Ye the portfolio of evidence is the completed work tasks in the work booklet which ar then put together to produce one document for each section. When I completed mine I also added photographic evidence of myself undertaking some of the tasks for eg. taking soil samples, soil testing, undertaking a soil survey, tree inspections etc. which provides additional evidence. I also included communications (emails) and i had with outside authorities and the info i received for eg, trees and the law, TPO'S, planning etc. which also provides additional evidence.
  8. I completed the RFS/ABC cert arb with the HCC 2 years ago now and I really enjoyed the course. I got totally addicted to it and went far beyond what I really needed to, to a level far higher than I needed to do 150,000+ words overall, sketched all my own pictures,diagrams etc, which filled 6 A4 files in total, but it did result in an outstanding student award which I felt was an achievement!!! I then went straight on to the Dip Arb which I got an outstanding distinction and there is talk that I will be becoming a tutor for the HCC in the near future, at some point as well. I still have all the course materials as well as my multiple file portfolio for the RFS/ABC cert Arb so if you ever need any guidance to point you in the right direction !!!
  9. Hi John, He's a patterdale x border pup, he's bonkers and obsessed with digging holes at the minute!! cheers
  10. This is Manson (after charlie manson)
  11. I thought I would give an owl a go this morning after friarsgorse comment on my previous post, he has turned out pretty chubby and I think I am going to have to look in to making some eye burning tools!!
  12. cheers for all the comments I will keep practicing!!!
  13. I have been dabbling in chainsaw carving for a month or so now, but I wanted to start on something different than the usual shrooms, owls etc. So I thought I would put some pictures of my first carvings (both finished and works in progress) on here to hear some constructive criticism from some experienced carvers!!!
