    Got some hoarding done this weekend.

    Finished up the scarlet oak.

    Got 2.5 more loads out of it.

    Then cut up a smaller chestnut oak and got 1.5 loads out of it.

    Got it stacked by the barn.

    The GF was splitting and stacking in the barn.

    And I got started on a much larger chestnut oak.

    Looks like a job well done :yes:

    How do you like the No Spill Gas Can? I was just looking those up the other day and I'll be picking one up next time I'm south of the border.

    I just got it a week or so ago. I think I like it more than any of the newer gas cans I have owned. I am interested to see how it holds up.

    It's nice to see that when you get into the big real wood that you bring out the real saw :saw: the and leave those ones in your avatar at home...or were they in the shop again:D

    Seriously though, let me know how you like the no spill can. I messaged the company the other day inquiring about a Canadian distributor but i'll most likely hold off and pick one up next in the US.

    Very impressive! :)

    You have some nice wood going on there. That chestnut oak is a bunch of wood right there. Can't quite tell, but did the base rot out or did you drop it?

    Easy now. I respect brand loyalty, but it sort of limits the toy collection. :D

    Will do on the fuel can, I had been wanting one for awhile.

    Yeah, the base was rotten and the tree must have come down in a storm last summer.

    Have you ever considered making the bed rails a little taller? Would the truck handle a little more weight?

    As far as I am concerned it is neither too hot nor too cold, it is just right.

    The one thing that would make it the best gas can ever would be if they put a handle on the back of the can so you could grab it there while you pushed the button.

    How long have you had yours? And how has the pour mechanism been on yours?

    I know what you're talking about. I saw somewhere on their site that at least one of their cans does have a double handle like you are talking about but I think it's one of the larger cans.
