    Here is a little project I have had in the back of my mind for a while ever since I came across the alloy poles in the local scrap metal yard.


    So what piece of you brain stopped working. That is nearly the most insane thing I have ever seen well next to a sawblade in an angle grinder with no guard............
    Take some professional advice cut it up. and buy a proper pole saw .....

    Ya know what PM me your details and I get some acquaintances of mine to give you a shout........the lads with the white helmets and hi-viz vest on .......they normally carry clip boards ............or would the lads in white coats who carry jackets with buckles on the sleeves that tie behind your back be more appropriate.......

    While I agree Iver hadn't the best idea with the pole saw, and agree with the safety concerns, I think people are being overly hard on him, reckon he's gotten the message in fairness.

    At least it might keep him around to be able to f**k us out of it

    Don't think anyone should take it personally. Nobody has a problem with iver, it's the design idea that we are all finding fault with, not the designer.

    can you hire a pole saw? i heard you cant hire chainsaws anymore for insurance reasons

    I have hired poled saws alright.

    At least from an engineering perspective it was quite good, clever trigger mechanism etc. Perhaps you can re-engineer to something like a power washer extension like this for the roof of the shed, gutters, etc. and the rest into one of those chainsaw log horses

    So that got a hell of a reaction. I suppose I had got blasé about the forum charter, and the fact that everything you post can be used against you, and if a government agency takes an interest, a court order will deliver your identity in jig time. Also thanks to Stock for offering to send his acquaintances from the H&S round, but I must decline your request for my name and address. Get a court order if you are that interested.

    So, to close

    Don't worry about being investigated. It's the myth about helicopters flying over when you are burning bushes.


    Best of luck and fook the system

    It's the myth

    You wouldn't say that if you got a knock on your door like I did from two state employees directly referencing your presence online.
