    He may be short but go back and look at the size of his calves. They are almost the size of my thighs 😜 And yes, he would leather me 😜

    Old photo, can you tell by the lack of quality 😜 Training in Ubon Ratchathani in North East Thailand, 2002. I spent 3 months in a Muay Thai camp there. Living in the gym with the owners and fighters. Was an unforgetable experience for me. The guy in the photo was one of the golden era of...

    Other way round I reckon. I have been training Muay Thai since 94. BJJ since 2018. Haakon is way better at BJJ than me. More technical and flexible with an arsenal of submissions. I only have my old man strength to see me through. I have been tapped quite few times by Haakon.. I’d beat...

    Cheers Sean, he trains hard. Has a good fight IQ and listens to his coaches. He started Muay Thai at 4 years old so has a few year of training behind him. But it is his determination that impresses me. Very calm and collected and seems to take it in his stride. Best thing to compliment this...

    Haakon was back in the ring today. First Muay Thai fight in 4 years. Adult C class, fighting a 22 year old guy. Haakon put on a technical masterclass for two rounds and battered the opponent. The opponent quit on his stool and didn’t want to come out for round 3.

    Yes that's correct. To prevent warping during the drying process.

    I know, but they are not my planks. The home owner is going up there tomorrow. They are going to separate with 2x1’s between planks and then about 5 ratchet strap per log. I did offer to do it for them but they said they had materials and straps.

    Fallen Oak, Birch x 2 and pine clear up. Had the kids out with us to help. All chipped into the woodland and logged up the first day and then today we milled the bottom 6 metres of the stem for some boards for the customer today. We also felled a goat willow and winched the footballs back into...

    Or are you referring to the picture Andrei posted?

    Are we again referring to the Oak? I can assure you they were no where near flush cuts. The camera may make them look but the collar was visible and pruning cut in accordance.

    Is this in relation to the willow in San Diego or the work we were discussing on the Oak tree?

    Now I am confused. So what is the official critique of the work in the Oak tree? I am not quite sure what you are getting at. Are you saying I should have used flush cuts on the oak tree? Discussion is good.

    Well it depends which school of thought you follow. The cuts in the property side were live growth and very extended limbs. Those cuts are target pruning cuts aka Shigo et al. The stubs at the back were what were called stag horned. Stone dead rock hard wood. I reduced them back to the...

    Good day. Took the boys to a BJJ Open. Haakon now fights in the Adult blue belt division. He had 3 wins and 1 losses from his 4 matches. All three on the podium had 3 wins and it went back to how many advantages they had in their fights. It meant Haakon got bronze. Quite funny as he has...

    Mature Oak I deadwood and reduced over the property. The tree was old and in the boundary of a property. Over 50% estimate of the rear of the tree was stag horned. Over cables and public footpath. More major deadwood over the garden and property. They have grand kids playing a lot in that...
