  1. Looking for advice. Put a hole in a lads CTE top cover (plastic). Would the best repair be fiberglass patching? Cheers
  2. Thats dan sath mate, we're Glasgow! Get a yard in a rural area, ideally farm land, then you won't need to worry about smoke etc 👍
  3. Not sure if this is in the right forum....we're currently converting 2 ISO containers into kilns for drying firewood. Given the price of electricity/gas we'll be powering the kilns with seasoned wood on our yard 1. Has anyone had any experience running kilns this way? 2. What would be the best stoves to use to power the kilns. TIA
  4. I used to work harvest for the second largest Christmas tree farm in Europe which is just north of Inverness. They're definitely millionaires a few times over
  5. Looking at building a temporary (!) Chip box for the above. Looking through previous posts a lot of folk are saying marine ply and composite steel is the way forward. My question is.....does anyone have any pictures of how they've attached them...frames they've built etc? I have looked at pretty much all the other posts but can't find any decent photos. TIA
  6. Already got a 20 tonne towable splitter for the yard, but what are folk using for small electric domestic splitters?
  7. Cheers buddy. Unfortunately a bit far but thanks for the reply
  8. Cheers Doug, thats a big help mate 👍
  9. Got a client thats had a pine topped (not our work) leaving a large stem that he's wanting carved for his grandchildren. Been down the usual lines of enquiry, however everyone is too busy to take the work on, which is great. Clients been made well aware of decay that will set into the sculpture overtime etc, he's just wanting something done with it. Anyone here based around Glasgow that's interested?
  10. Maybe been discussed before...but if you're using two ropes in a canopy and one of the anchors fail dragging you down, whilst still being held by the remaining anchor...whats the procedure?!
  11. Good points, well made. However there's plenty of good operators working without 41 before it was made a ticket (I've got mine BTW before anyone jumps on me) that are superb climbers.
  12. Pantera
  13. Seems im the retard if that's the case 🤔
  14. I think SEPA will probably want to talk to you before the squirrel god. Are you that retarded you admit to heavy metal poisoning squirrels on a public forum?
  15. Me also. I always remember the saying, and I'm not sure who said it but; "teaching a child not to squash a caterpillar is just as important to the caterpillar, as it is to the child"

    Insects

    Random one, but.......how many of you remove insects before cutting. Obviously not removing all insects, just if you see a spider/slater etc crawling where you're going to make a cut?
  17. I think pricing within the industry needs to be addressed. An age old problem, discussed ad nauseam. Rather than a Arb Ass, perhaps we need a union.....there, I said it.
  18. Anyone got any solid proof that after 6 weeks with no word from the LA then you're good to crack on? I've heard that the 6 weeks is guidance only, and that they can extend as they see fit
  19. Just started felling 12 large Sitka spruce from a private woodland. Is it worth hiring a skid to drag the timber roadside for a timber merchant? Also, what length of is the timber typically cut to?
  20. He does make some good points, however he's as subtle as a bus hitting a toddler
  21. Read the article. This guys a c u next Tuesday. He managed to obliterate any good points he tried to make by being a massive Fud
  22. Not being cheeky but this is just like listening to every client that doesn't want to pay to get a job done properly! I'd kick them off the forum
  23. Its less expensive to have someone qualified to address the roots now, than to have to remove the tree later down the line
  24. 👌👍
