Nice looking welds, plenty hot. I think it kind of depends on the amperage available. It's hard to get a puddle like yours with a 180 amp machine,...
I wish! I'm down in Modesto freezing my a$$ off, wishing I was home where it's warm. Doesn't look like much yet. [IMG]
Frank, the only oak I've encountered that was that tough was dried about 6 years. Was that Valley or Live Oak?
Thats 2 of them fake cords people back east talk about.
Living in the mountains, the choices are propane, kerosene, electric or wood. My work takes me into lots of homes. In the winter I can tell if...
One advantage that I've not heard anybody mention is that wood is not a fossil fuel, and the CO2 released is from "modern" carbon. When I say...
That plow looks like it is old enough to be the tractor's grandfather. Sort of a May - December pairing. Mine is more age appropriate. [ATTACH]
I still participate at the other sites, but this is definitely where I feel at home. I can't believe these things are still being debated. Bark...

I have the Redmax G5300, which is supposed to be a Husqvarna 353 (IIRC) with a red hat. I bought it new about 5 years ago. It has been a great...

It all comes down to space vs. time. If plenty of space and limited time, stack 1 course wide. If limited space and plenty of time, stack 3...
When I used to go winter camping, we would just leave wet outer garments (mitten shells, gaiters, etc) out overnight. They would be dry in the...
I will sometimes extend a split or two between two cribs, or from the crib back into the stack to tie them together and stabilize the cribs.
It is only necessary to crib the ends. You will see cribs in the middle of my stacks which are usually softwood at one end and oak at the other....
After my wife saw a friend using one, she insisted I get one for her. A quick blast on a couple of pine cones and we have a fire. Uses maybe a...
Nice live edge bench. Is that some Ponderosa waiting its turn?
Nice! It looks like a "modern" version of my '68. ;)
This is my oldest "hauler", a '63. Once I was done with the resto, she was too damm pretty to use as intended. [ATTACH]
Some great info in this thread. I've been seriously considering getting a battery powered saw for cutting in situations where the noise of a gas...
