I applaud your choice of hammers. Hard to beat those old Eastwings! Nice job of trimming, too. I spend a lot of time on Sundays looking at the...
5 pounds and 30”? No thanks. I’m not a fan of Fiskars’ wonder-axes. (Edited to add: I’ve bought both their X27 and the heavier splitting maul and...
Nope. I agree wholeheartedly. But at least in Virginia, a CDL comes much heavier fines (double, I think?) for speeding (even in a private...
Young inexperienced drivers and heavy trucks are a problem, especially when they think they need to go fast to save the day. I don't have current...
How are you liking that new splitter? It looks like it does a good job.
Right before I retired I helped our department spec and purchase a very simple tanker/tender from Fouts. It was a plain truck without many...
This would be my choice, too. I would probably put hickory up above red oak if it wasn't such a pain to split.
Highly valuable when kiln dried to only 18% surface moisture. LOL
I wondered about that too - I haven't seen a half cord bag (although I've seen a "half face cord" bag) offered for sale.
A friend sent me this; he found it on a Reddit post. It made me think of this thread, although I have no idea of the location: [ATTACH]
You have my utmost respect, sir, along with all the men and women of our armed forces. I think I could have done a lot of jobs in the military...

Skidding winches for tractors aren't common in my area at all - even equipment dealers will just look at you blankly when you ask about them. Used...
I understand that - I was always leery of the first pair of chaps I had because they had straps all the way down the leg. The straps would catch...
The dirt is certainly not a deal breaker, just a consideration I wanted to point out, and it's really the only bad aspect of using the winch that...
That's a great price for that winch, and they sure are handy! I bought one last fall (different brand), and it is a game changer. I can drag a lot...
I went through the same quandry a couple of years ago. At the time I was using an old riding mower that I had beefed up and put ATV-type tires and...
I like that light tower idea. Would be great for summertime when it's too hot to work during the day. But then, I try not to fool with wood much...
Now that I think about it, I think I remember that one of his best friends was killed by an ash tree he was cutting. They definitely warrant respect!
I like watching Dave work. His technique for felling big trees with a small bar is really interesting, but seems very effective for him. Seems...
