Another significant aspect- those "random acts of kindness" benefit the giver too. Something mean & greedy folks just won't understand. You know-...
Not trolling, but, what is it for? Conversation piece? :wacky:
Of course nothing is THE END in any such discussion. That would be so boring, wouldn't it? (It's not like we're feeding the fire with #2-special...
Everything in moderation, including depth of residual coals. Best way to (re)start a fire. I've run a few older-design stoves. One common...
Looking at the linked page, does the dlr advise running chain so loosely? Something in me admires their chutzpah, since they're not kidding....
A while back, got a basic stump vise from NT for ~$4, told a bud, he got one, bought another for a spare, another bud bought that from me. (It was...
I'd suggest that firebox insulation is a red-herring. It serves to keep temps up for complete combustion/efficiency. My experience is that for a...
What's worked great for me is what I'd call lateral felling cuts. In the worst case, where the butt's fixed in place, I make sets of face cuts &...
FWIW, my favorite shtick with noodling is to just cut PARTWAY through, then whack the round with a maul. Saves time, work for the saw, usable wood...
Funny, nobody's yet mentioned YOU SUCK! Just pointing that out. (Apple wood = the best.)
For some years it's been obvious to me how useful a 2-stroke polesaw would be for cutting up tops of deciduous blowdowns. Both for the...
What I've found to help to track the air-drying process of some splits, besides jamming the MM's electrodes into exposed faces, is to also jam...
More & more i've come to depend on wedges, winches, chains & tow-straps. Anything to safely guide big sticks. A good option i've found with such...
In reality, no such thing as free lunch or free heat. Various cost aspects must be borne some where/how. That said, wood heat is an extremely...
Not fun, using so many more matches than "normal" for restarts. While waiting on them to get going I take a hatchet to bust some 3-yo red oak down...
Another redneck-engineering tool centers on a crimp-on electrical connector. Why spend $4 and change on Husqy tool? :picard: Of course, for the...
No "caps" to pull on 455. Just need splined carb tool, and away you go. Maybe his dealer (corner hdw store) doesn't have that tool?
I'm still wondering how the Zumwalt and the Burke class ships are called destroyers, with 27-30' draft and 10-15 K tons displacement. Given that...
Out of the box, one time maybe with Dremel & sanding drum. After that, always splitting up on a block, edges stay sharp. No fiskars here.
Once each year or two, I grap a p/u-load of skids from nearby equipment dealer, and saw them up with sawzall into 6-inchers. Fill up shopping bags...
