I've rigged directly into a winched bandit. Worked well. 4 man team. Climber cutting, man 1 below on the capstan lowering down zip line. Man 2 on chipper winch to release tension and turn chipper on. Man 3 unties strop and pushes into chipper. Man 1 pulls strop back up zip line to climber. Repeat. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Got a knock on the door twenty minutes ago. Neighbour stood there says "they've tried to nick your trailer". She was right! In the foreground you can see the empty space, in the background, you can see how far they got with it. I didn't have a wheel clamp so I chained a six foot log to it. Log was still attached. [emoji3][emoji106] Fecking **** *****... At least i got it back. [emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji23]

Arrived on a large site once, was given a 3" thick ecological/bat report. Site manager said I had to read and follow it. A frantic hour of scanning later I realised the report concluded that all wildlife had already left the site. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106]

Any tool from the company "faithful" is only skip worthy. Keep an eye out at car boots. Got quite a few old tools for 50p-£1 [emoji106]

Yeah the early versions were crap.

Greased my 261 (2017) for the first time after 18 months of use. Mint. Even left the original needle cage as no signs of wear. [emoji106]

Hazel commercial value

Hazel makes good charcoal if you can process it. [emoji106] -

Worked with a kleptomaniac in a shop. Within 10 minutes of opening the till was £20 down. Hadn't had one customer. I asked him what happened. He grins and says "I just love the buzz of stealing.". It was only us two in the shop. [emoji848][emoji51]☹️ -

Most commercial saw mills won't buy anything from outside a forest. However that's a lot of durable, decent timber. Could build a nice barn? What's the access like?

What were you cutting with 090s? [emoji106]

It's a HSE thing. Mainly the lack of chain brake on the earlier models, the crap AV, emissions Etc It's an outdated relic. But if I'm honest, I want one too. [emoji12][emoji106]

Another 40 year old just starting
Rough Hewn replied to forestboy1978's topic in Training & education
Forestboy, I admire your forthright and enthusiastic approach to your life and work. But play smart my friend. Breathe deep. Go slower. This is your first year in arb. Remember you're a complete greenhorn in everyone's eyes. Take a week to finish the oaks if it means you'll be in one piece at the end. No job is worth dying for. Every job over the next few years will be a learning experience. You will need guidance. This forum is a phenomenal source of knowledge and experience. Keep it polite and professional like the gentleman you are. I try to keep my postings purely about work. I think you'll succeed. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] -

Coppice is "usually" exempt from felling licensing. But check first. [emoji106]
