Have any of you guys tried the atlas tippers? I like the look of the Brian James but atlas is round the corner from me -

That's ridiculous, they made the fines unlimited so this sort of thing doesn't happen when builders take the piss

The ability to turn up on time, not sir on your phone, keep my ropes clean, sharpen a chainsaw, carry lengths of wood so it doesn't have to be logged up on site, not some millienial butterfly, break a. Finger and want a week off work, be able to go to the pub after work and actually have some banter instead of sitting on a phone. Sorry that was more of a rant

Yea I've got 2 stove company's that recommend me. They don't want anything in return as we're from the same village but I reckon they also get bored of having a mr and mrs whoever ring up and say their stove isn't working , even though they are trying to burn wet pop aha

Don't faff around with a small felling lever, just get a big one. Everyone including the instructor kept borrowing mine and you can actually have a use for it after your course in the workplace, anything you can topple with a small one you can push over by hand in day to day

If it's getting pinched on windblown just drive a fat wedge in, should do the trick
