consider a good clean with some kinda resin solvent and a little wire brush? ive done mine a few times and its surprising the difference a good clean makes. but that depends on how badly blunted it is.
-
looks fine that, nicely topped out. whats your problem?

usual way, same as for car. check around, phone up, ask for it cheaper, tweak details. price rise is as inevitable as toast dropping jam side down
-
surely after the first one you will remember to put petrol in it the next month?

i believe "eeny meeny miny mo" is the current recognised official guide

but a lada will never be a ferarri no matter how much you spend on it. and a wetwipe will always be a wetwipe no matter how much you pay them. theyll just be a happier wetwipe getting 150quid a day to scratch their arse. you start on basic money, you show you can do the job, you get more money.

i kinda do, im at a loss where to find people who want to work, or even where to start looking. only the old guys want to work, the 20 yr olds dont wanna know it doesnt help that i expect excellence and im not tolerant of muppets and wetwipes and rake-leaners as to working conditions theyre usually relaxed and easy, no shouting, and usually short days.
-
some people are only worth minimum wage. until theyve done a few weeks and got up to speed. even at the old rate, youre talking nearly 100 quid a day. ya cant be paying that for someone thats standing around like a wetwipe half the time.
-
what are we all paying for basic ground labour? and what kinda hours? and how many labourers are bitching about pay? are we thinking minimum wage for under 23s with no experience or qualifications? or are people paying more?
-
option b: yes, but not telling you, hahahaha

nope

In praise of natural crotch lowering/rigging.
manco replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Rigging and roping
i agree. too much clobber in the top overcomplicates and is more possibilty for something going wrong. plan ahead, use multiple anchors and natural redirects, spread load and natural friction, less tight angles on ropes, each redirect becomes the tie-off as you work inwards. letting it run relies on a good groundie, if it lands safely where its supposed to without damage thats a result. or again a redicted to suspend from directly above to reduce swing when cut. but this is a world where extra climbing ropes are required and backup personal anchors etc. but isnt this what we train for and get paid for, to decide how much gear is needed? -
im not entering this contest because ill win with bad grace

surely you want to suck it up and buy a 201? i consider anything less to be plain junk and not worth my time. these 171/181 homo wner saws are as gutless as a frenchman.
-
consider paying a local tree surgeon to cut them? potentially cheaper than buying a new saw
