Thanks. I don't have any way to video, but some buddies have smart phones and I hear you can video from a smart phone. I'll try to get a video.
Yep. I'd work on it for a few days and then work on my house for a few months and then come back to the splitter. Finished it Thursday and...
I've always been splitting by hand, with axes and wedges and mauls, but it IS time consuming. And I got awful tired of bending down to the ground...
Good question. I don't wanna find out.
I won't be cutting it, although I will probably keep harvesting wood from that tree. It is half of a double-tree--that is, two trees that grew up...
I was in my woods, in an area I had not ventured into in decades, cutting up a tree that had leaned over many years ago. I cut two of the...
Steve, call Alcoholics Anonymous in your area and got to a meeting. You can go drunk if that's what it takes, but go. You will find only...
I used to have a problem with a big coon that would climb up on the roof of my barn and somehow get in, and take a crap on the loft floor. But I...
Thanks guys. Most of the time I can load the stove without smoke coming out, but every once in a while, no matter how careful, some will roll out.

My guess is he was either drinking, or he was a beginner, or it was right after lunch, he had a full stomach and wasn't thinking very well. BTW,...
Thanks Kimberly. I had forgotten about that.
We have a lot on my place. I'll burn any oak I can get--black, white, or red, tho most of mine is red followed by white.
It's so old the sap wood has fallen off, leaving only heart wood. I've found standing dead oaks like that--they burn exceptionally well.
I ain't nebber gonna eat no bugs.
I have a pile of cut and split oak that shows fine dust from what I think are powder post beetles. Should I be extra careful about bringing that...
Ya gotta perfect yer aim. That said, I've knocked dead my share of handles too.
Thanks, it's a '42 Farmall H. I put a new engine in it in '96. Loader is a DuAl. It's got a Schwartz wide front end on it. I use it for...
Any way you go it sounds expensive. I've been in business all my life and one of the maxims of a businessman is to take a problem and try to turn...
