Well, I visited the downed oak that I scrounged from yesterday and got two more pickup loads before work. Here's what's left. Mostly a huge trunk...
We had a morning of very high winds up here on the plateau yesterday morning. Some gusts were well over 30 mph. I just knew it was going to bring...
We had a break in the weather, and I took the chainsaw and the wagon out along the wood road where I had located a few dead but standing trees...
It seems like everything I do outside is dangerous. Whether it's projects around the house, like woodchucking, or the never-ending restoration /...
23 this morning, but it's supposed to get to 40 with full sunshine by 3pm... then more snow tonight. I had to restart the fire this morning, so...
If I build something I'll be sure to share and you better believe it will be tuned, ported, polished. (I used to race motorcycles...)
So shiny! I bet for every 15 minutes of cutting you will spend at least an hour stacking. Enjoy the heck out of it.
We are having our fifth day of rain here. The ground has all turned into slippery mud coated with wet leaves making it darned near impossible to...
Have you ever noticed that ALL pictures are of things in the past? I think we need to do something about that...

36 degrees and very foggy and rainy here in the mountains of western North Carolina. I'm burning large splits of very dry white pine just to keep...
Excellent idea! I'll fire up a browser and see what I can come up with. I'm also playing with the idea of getting a wrecked ATV and seeing what I...
It was poplar. I may be strong like bull, but I'm also smart, like tractor. :rofl: :lol:
I used to split over 6 cords a year with an axe, and while I love the physical activity, my elbows started to ache constantly. So last Fall I...
Great minds think alike! I was also looking at those two wheel tractors as inspiration. I bet it could be turned into a pretty neat log skidded....
I'd love to have one of those Yardmax machines... If they were half the price. Right now I'm looking for a (very) used ATV for under $1K. I'm a...
We are expecting 5 to 8 inches of snow this evening, so I brought in some small 3" splits of red oak to keep the flames going in the Aspen stove....
I did some bucking and splitting today of some red oak that was down on one of my logging trails today. I found some frozen ants too. I knocked...
