If you’re holding a tricky piece, you don’t want to lose focus, so sliding it (the saw lanyard) through your fingers while you concentrate on the piece, then when it’s at the end of the lanyard, deal with the piece, seems legit.

That is a work of genius.

Understood Sean.

Weak spots I reckon, nothing medical.

I buy from the local dealer, a few bucks here or there makes no odds to me. They send clients my way oftimes. Keep the dealers open. Bollocks to internet cut-throats.

Never really run reliably, cuts out, difficult to restart. Problem is I’ve spent maybe €1200 on it in total, cost of the saw and various bits (including the picco chain and bar) it’s in now getting a new ignition unit so that’ll bump up the overall total. I don’t know when to stop throwing good...

S’funny, but of all my body parts my wrists and hands are the weakest due to me entering my dotage so to speak. But it’s the both of them rather than just the right, which is what you’d expect from a dedicated one hander. Might go out and buy a 150 this afternoon and the bloody little Echo...

Don't fight it. I pay my accountant to do all the payroll, contact of employment stuff, sure it costs, but it's all tax deductible.

I can understand that. Everyone can only see things from their own perspective. I have a recurring theme in my life that I've done everything 10 years too late. Learnt this job, got married, stopped getting off my head every night, moved out here, all 10 years too late (well not TOO late but...

22 years, I should say employee in the strictest sense, before that all my "helpers" has been "self employed" (not strictly legal in the UK but most do it) or on the black, which is naughty over here. Wooden head was with me about 3 years in one form or another, he still does the odd day here...

I've been thinking about this thread a bit (sounds ominious!) Reg, do you remember when, before you started your own gig, that you were of the opinion that it was a lot of hassle and you didn't want that, happy as a contract climber etc. Then when you did start up all the woes that you heard...

I find it suprising that it is considered "a thing" like it's some sort of choice, or skill to be aspired to. I'd always pay a hundred quid or so just to have someone to fill a saw up or untie a knot on the ground as a minimum. There's always that much spare in a job surely?

But bearing in mind the way the vid was going, i'll tell you why I never work solo. Two reasons 1: I'm very lazy 2: I'm very greedy. You make more money if there's someone there to help get the work done, plus it's tax deductible.

On a cold day it sometimes goes back in too early, I use the sweater a lot as well. I couldn't do 28 minutes, sorry.
