    Who needs to buy oak wine barrels for planters when you have those?

    Filled to the brim

    20180503_173719.jpg

    Getting into the good stuff now! :dex:
    30"x13'4" log. :eek:(Offered this one to blacksmith's cousin for the mill but he didn't have room to take it.)
    20180503_122128.jpg

    It'll be firewood by the end of the day tomorrow .
    I did wrestle one 26" round into the splitter today myself. Saving the rest for tomorrow when I have help

    I'm tired now:sleeping:

    :drool:

    Nice work Tim! :yes: Looks like Ruger is kicking his lips waiting to chew on some of those splits! :) I gotta say they do look tasty!

    That’s exactly what I was thinking while I was working on the locust. There is a certain “funk” to the smell, but it’s grown on me after having heated with it. :fire:

    Tim, that was very generous of you offering that log. Those were always a joy to saw into lumber.

    Pulled the cap off the front tractor wheel hub and found a snap ring. Crap...
    Tried to get it off with needle nose pliers but it was a heavy duty snap ring. So, off to town for the tool. Napa had one set of snap ring pliers with interchangeable tips. I didn't like them but I got them anyhow and back home. Well, they sucked! Couldn't get the tip to stay in. So back to town to return the El Cheapo ($19) snap ring pliers, then off to Autozone to see what they had. They had a better set, so back home and got the wheel off. Loaded it up and off to town again to get a new tire...
