Ace Master · 22nd October 2007, 07:22 PM

Finally worked out how to put pictures in here. Here's some from Down Under

Steve Tipton · 22nd October 2007, 07:53 PM

Bloody big timber and efficiently done!
Was that a Euc Regnans in the Dandenongs?

Eric Frei · 22nd October 2007, 08:00 PM

Awesome pics... makes that lowering device look a little inadequate for such large timber.

Jeff Darby · 22nd October 2007, 08:29 PM

Excellent!!.. Now that's a couple of stick!

Ace Master · 22nd October 2007, 09:08 PM

yep they are E.regnans all from Mt Dandy area.

Lee Winger · 23rd October 2007, 03:01 AM

Big wood for sure!

atula · 25th October 2007, 01:08 AM

Wow that is really really big trunk....The pictures are fantastic...
BTW can someone tell me too how to put pictures in this forum? have tried but cudnt.

soutz · 25th October 2007, 08:12 AM

your either bloody small or thats some serious wood. nice.

RC1 · 2nd November 2007, 12:36 AM

Re: that first picture, I'd have no hesitation in framing that one and hanging it on my wall. Fantastic!

Ace Master · 2nd November 2007, 01:15 AM

RC1
My Mrss wouldn't let me hang it over the bed it 's scares her to much, but the kids love it.I appreciate that i have a spot on your wall RC1
thanks all the best....

Ace Master · 12th November 2007, 05:50 PM

About a year ago we were working around the cnr and spotter

this tree down a driveway (Eucalyptus regnans) I went passed it today and got some pictures, since then it has had the head blown out and some large limbs(trees) are still hanging up there, the only target is one car that drives pass to go to work.

Streyken · 12th November 2007, 06:01 PM

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Steve Tipton · 12th November 2007, 07:20 PM

That one car could be at risk. Last week a guy on a motorbike was hit by a falling Angophora Costata as he rode past. I believe the rider was taken to hospital and the bike was a write off.
Wrong place, wrong time, poor buggar.

Sean Freeman · 12th November 2007, 08:38 PM

That sure is a beautiful tree ace, thanks for the pics

One car certainly doesn't represent a significant target...more risk of being hit by lightning than any branches from that tree I would say.

Ace Master · 15th November 2007, 04:20 PM

Did this split tree yesturday, it had failed about 6m up ,this is what you call a hanger

check it out.

Jeff Darby · 15th November 2007, 04:40 PM

Great picture's Ace, Now thats what you call " A Widow Maker"

Drouin Tree Service · 15th November 2007, 08:32 PM

shaggs · 15th November 2007, 09:41 PM

Nice pics again Acemaster

Have to start calling you MR Viagra....('cause you always have serious wood)

soutz · 16th November 2007, 02:01 PM

awesome. bet you couldnt work in the burbs....not nearly as pretty

Ace Master · 17th November 2007, 11:58 AM

soutz
There is some pictures of the local areas that we work in.

shaggs · 17th November 2007, 10:11 PM

Nice Acemaster
Very much competition in your area? How big is the town?

Ace Master · 17th November 2007, 11:15 PM

Competiton, ha!
yes there are a lot of competition only in the smaller jobs(under cutting),everbody has a chainsaw or has used a saw around here, the local shire is very big 35km by 30km square most of the area is heavily treed ,but tree permits are now slowing things down.We seem to have more people questing our existence(tree Police) these days,they are all tree experts and they will tell you that

.Not long ago i had a house owner come over and said that i should have told the whole street that i was going to fell trees and to exspect a earth quake as i shook this house from 300m away

i just laugh at him

thats a original one.Does other tree workers have wankers like his or some funny stories, love to hear some

RC1 · 17th November 2007, 11:40 PM

Lots of busy-bodies over here, too many stories to pick out just one.

Even had a couple of idiot neighbours actually come and stand underneath the tree's in protest on a couple of occasions, held the job up for hours, they just wouldn't budge. What made it so hypocritical though is that one of them actually had a freshly cut stump in his front garden, so it was fine for him to cut down his own trees but wrong for everyone else on the street.

Its always best to at least try and be diplomatic to start with though, it's amazing how many of these people (once they've had they're say) ask us to come and give them a quote for their own stuff. Silly feckers!

Eric Frei · 18th November 2007, 01:28 PM

Hey Ace,

Seen this video, it's still there.

Arborist stoning in Sydney!

treefeller · 19th November 2007, 04:36 AM

Cool pics mate, Im with RC1 we have our fair share of numpties that think they are tree specialists

I have even had people coming upto me complaining that i havnt notified the residents of an estate that we were working on and that we should stop what we are doing

ive heard it all before. They hate the trees outside their house and when you come to do work on them they moan because 'its such a lovely tree'

Ace Master · 19th November 2007, 09:22 AM

Ekka

If i was that climber i would have droped a branch on this head and then my ground crew would sent him on his way, i wouldn't put up with that sh...t

We had a wanker that tried to drive through at road closed job,check the pictures out. He had to wait for us to finish before we let him back to his car in job site

Eric Frei · 20th November 2007, 09:57 PM

Hahaha

Did he manage to just drive out of the ditch?

Ace Master · 20th November 2007, 10:49 PM
