So, how did you expect to control its direction of fall? Some people just do scary things....
Good job taking that thing down. Even before seeing the insides, that tree looked like a trickster. Myself, I woulda called on a pro to drop it. A...
The nervous pacing, the wringing of hands, the halucinations -- Man, glad that's over. Welcome back everyone!
Good job, Keith and the video made me drool. You have a first-rate looking cache there. Alot of good hard honest work invested - something to be...
That's really cool, .... and surprising. The only way I ever got oak that low a MC around here was stacked 4 years. They were 6" splits.
LOL. Completely fooled me on that one.
Yeah, the ends of that angle iron channel are capped. You can feel where the holes are along the apex (corner where the 2 plates of angle iron...
Yes. The chain being parallel to the grain pulls long skinny shavings from the cut instead of chips. Noodles. Not edible but boy do they burn...
Heheh, I'm too sore today to even think about doin' any wood and it's raining. Sorry, can't help ya. Heheh. The saw rental was for one day at $91,...
I finally got a day to rent a bigger saw and buck ash trunks too fat for my 18" MS290. Ash is said to start out relatively dry fresh cut, but...
That rig must be a huge time-saver. The stacks (and stacks and stacks) in pic 1 look impressive. There are alot of great ideas here on FHC.
FWIW, I had found the gasket between the primary air frame and stove body was mis-shaped (or misaligned), causing the edge of the gasket to...
Very cool. I bet those legacy saws really bring some 'snot' to the job. You know what I mean, snot = torque, grunt, big cajones, heheh.
Good on ya for working towards that 3-year hoard. Once you're there, it gets easier.
Good job NYCountry. It was also a perfect day here to process firewood. I finally bucked some big white ash trunks that should have got done long...
Nice catch of silver, thistle, and delivered to ya no less. Saved you a good bit of time and labor not having to fall and transport it. Silver is...
Still just burning ash so far (this year's shoulder wood) because the outdoor temps are mild again. Will have enough ash left for a starter split...
It's amazing how much weight predator birds can lift. Wouldn't have believed it until I saw a hawk carry off a carcass more than half its size....
Nice stack of fatties there, mj_deere. If they are just split, maybe the best place for 'em is outdoors anyway. Let the sun turn them gray for...
The 8 hour burn is by choice. 5 or 6 splits makes the firebox maybe 2/3 full. Still burning shoulder season method so far, haven't used good wood...
