I might be but don't worry, I am in remission. (:
I am going to put straight handles in the two Jersey single bits. The old single bits all had straight handles, until maybe the 1930's which is a...
I had sort of been wanting a good pick ax. My dad had one, I used for years, but it seems to be lost now, since he passed away about 3 years ago....
Here's some pictures, I think some of them will make good axes. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Nice find. I am tempted to look for a couple, myself. One warning though: I know the mushrooming looks cool but you might want to clean that up...
Moderation is not my strong point, it seems. I have had too much idle time available with the rain and all. I have bought some more ax heads. No...
41 degrees here and rainy, feels like 38 degrees. I am running a little cherry mostly, just coals now. True shoulder weather, I guess. Got wait...
Well, it looks like counting tax, I am going to be knocking on the door of 600 dollars to replace all of the parts. And a new Super 27 will end...

When I go to the woods to split rounds, (I always split them before I haul them because I only want to lift so much at a time) I always take a...
Well, I guessed it right. I said RED Oak would be the winner. I voted for 3 horses, the other two being Black Locust and White Oak. I didn't vote...

Thanks, that's pretty typical of the prices I have found.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I believe this is the 90SR that I have. I shopped around quite a bit and in this size range, I liked this Big Tex the...
Yep, or 410 stainless. I used to build burner tubes out of type .409 / .410 stainless pipe and Inconel elbows for industrial applications. I will...
I predict Red Oak as the overall winner. But of course I prefer it because it's plentiful where I live and easy to find standing dead, and it's...
I have never burnt Osage Orange ( bois d'arc) named by the French =Wood of the bow. We used it for fence posts, and I remember my dad commenting...
Well, I have already figured some of it out. I have a Super 27 and I can get all of those parts, it looks like, but they are expensive. I am...
Thanks ahead of time for any advice.
