I think I am about there on the 3 year plan. If not yet, I soon will be as I have quite a bit of black locust left to cut, this year. And It looks...
I am not sure the ears make much difference, they might in some cases after a lot of hard use. I have one Kelly True Temper Jersey pattern, and...
Ok, so you are already doing what I was thinking about doing; taking the raker file out, some of the time.
I have learned a lot from watching Buckin Billy Ray Smith. He is pretty entertaining to watch, and at first I wondered about him, but after...
I have one if these for the 3/8" standard chain. It's a Stihl brand, and cost $35.00, I am running full chisel chains. All I can say is I think it...
No vote for me, as I don't burn any of either.
I picked red oak because it's always been the bulk of the wood I have burnt. A lot of it was standing dead red oak, and some that had already...

What is the difference between Black Locust and Honey Locust? I mean how do you tell the difference? And is the burn quality different? I asked...
I don't have a store bought one, but I made this Pickatoon/Hookaroon out of a broken double bit ax. I have used it a lot, this year. It works...
I don't use the brake, I guess I should. Living in the south, I don't cut in real cold weather either, but I will carefully set the saw down...
I guess you will split some if this down even smaller when starting a cold stove? I do the same, but will also save lumber scraps and split them,...
I don't have a hydraulic splitter, but I did use one recently to split a couple of cords of saw mill reject logs, some were pretty big rounds. It...

Yep, I was looking at the single axle on the trailer, looks like 2000 lb axle or a 3500 at the most. I hope you don't have to haul too far....
