    There are lots of people here who repair saws and/or can help you with good sources for parts to DIY. ;)

    Funny, you should say that. I've been trying to talk my honey into some sort of firewood themed wall hanger... like log ends or ?
    She shot me down badly... :rootintootin: ... :D

    Scotty, I was wondering the same thing. A work of art. Nice to see you take pride even in stacking wood. Now c'mon over to my house and show me how it's done! :)

    I dont have that many trees that are that big that I can get that many squares out of!! I cut some big stuff up a few years ago and was so much work I dont mess with the big 40" stuff anymore. But nothing like all the square splits and 50+ splits per round. Burning that square stuff this winter.
