Mike, Looking Good! A word of caution on the wheels. The bolt together wheels like that have a tendency to have the center hub tear loose....
Great Job! I like to use the time counter at the bottom of the video screen to time the cuts. This way if there is a lag in the video I don't...
I can't stand the cold like I did when younger so I do most of my fire wood when it is above 40°F. 100°F in the shade works for me. (A breeze is...
I believe there are 2 versions of the "Prince" brand auto cycle valves. One has "power beyond". It should have no problems. IIRC the diagram...
I'm only 5'10" but vertical is not an option for me.
Faster? I don't think so. But I'm not going to get off topic. Have the splitter at a height, normally around waist height, to where you can...
I have a dedicated horizontal splitter with a narrow wedge & stand on the side all the time. Anything that flies off from a sudden split has been...
I don't think the chainsaws GTGs are site specific. There are many of us who are on several forums. Hope to see you there.
You have to pull both levers to activate cycle. When it hits the max pressure set while extending, the first valve releases & then sends the oil...
#1 - Handle the rounds from the sides, never the ends to keep from hitting hands on the wedge or getting pinched.
Grizz, are you going to make it to the Midwest Saw Fest April 26th at Chelsea, IA? May 17th there is a Charity Cut on the West side of Des Moines...
Cut, split, stack on pallets. Attend Charity Cuts. Build more sheds for storing wood. Mow grass, ...
We use a pair of small rounds to hold the kindling up then: In the shop stoves I use my brush burner, 30 seconds heating the inside top of the...
Having a pipe bushing is a great idea. Make sure you have the pipe go all the way through the tubing & not just but up on the inside. Weld on...
1 - cut the tubing leaving at least 3' for the hitch end. Then take a couple of pieces of 3/8" thick plate & weld one end of each to the tubing...
If you have a consistent length of cuts, yes it can make a difference. I have mentioned before, a couple of pieces of angle iron cradling the ram...
At least the guy in the red shirt was smart enough to move back away.
While I agree the steel toe is my preference, I noticed in the video they were doing glancing strokes. I know for a fact a straight down cut...
Thing to remember is the Caravan is a unibody vehicle. There is not a "frame" to weld to. Any hitch you add will need to be bolted to the places...
Some valves do not have an adjustable detent & will require a different cap to change the amount of pressure needed to release the detent. I...
