The Official Work Pictures Thread

I know they can move a bit in the wind but I always find them quite easy.
Regular form means easier rigging. The branches also float down rather than bomb.
Just don't tie in too high.
Chips good as well so groundies love 'em.

 

[Jake Andrews]

Just friggin messy when they hit the deck, matchsticks comes to mind

 

[Jake Andrews]

They sure are easy (most) but I just find it a mind challenge rather than a physical one.

 

[Mick!]

You're right about the clear up Jake, given the chance I'll rope down even when I could bomb just to save time on the raking.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Sorta like spear chucking with the small stuff and the hand saw does go a long way.
Like you said... tie in smartly and rigging down saves a ton of clean up time.. Lack of leaves helps

 

[stig]

On big ones I like to use two climbers.
One to top tie the pieces and one to cut them.
Otherwise its up-down, up-down all day.

 

[High Scale]

Back in the city centre today, Mike climbing.

 

[pantheraba]

Good pictures...I see at least 4 rope lines (maybe 5) in the tree. Is he SRT and those are where he re-directed?

 

[gf beranek]

Is it cabling?

 

[High Scale]

Yes mate, Mike likes his re directs, he was climbing on the Rope Runner today, he's a good climber, very quick acsent.

 

[High Scale]

No Jerry, crown reduction.

 

[Jake Andrews]

What city centre high scale?

 

[High Scale]

Bristol massive.

 

[Jake Andrews]

Sssssweeeeeet,my home town��

 

[High Scale]

Nice one!

Bristol UK?


Uncanny

 

[pete mctree]

Some nice work there Carl.

 

[High Scale]

Cheers Pete, it's for the old school consultant I contract for, normally I wouldn't have a hope getting in with sites like that.

Great to have Mike in so I can have a rest.

 

[Jake Andrews]

Nice one!

Bristol UK?

Yeh man, Bristol UK. From Stockwood actually if you know that area. I moved out to Aus 2 1/2 year ago.
I used to operate the Bristol City contract with Fountains before it changed to Midland.

 

[High Scale]

Nice one, where abouts in Oz? I worked in North Sydney around 16 years ago.

Funny Midland getting that contract, they must have bid stupid low.

 

[Jake Andrews]

I'm still in Melbourne. Amazing city.
Midland bid some prices lower than we were doing them for and that was a 7 year old contract!!
Hopefully it's biting them on the ass

Nothing unusual, oak takedown in Dutch holiday village.
But the sky was blue etc.
First day on the zig-zag, yes I like it. Drawback is it's bit of a faff to thread it through a new rope, I have a few different lengths so on a rainy morning I can see problems.
It took a while to trust it but overall I'm happy.
I did misjudge the rope length and take an unscheduled fall of 4ft when coming down.
No harm done though! (This time)

[MasterBlaster]

The blade needs to be flared out, somewhat.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

On machine digging, a BMG loosens soil around fence posts to then lift out.
Edit:
Sorry for that autocorrect nonsense.

 

[Merle Nelson]

How is that? Are you able to pull a post and put it back in its own hole?
