Thankfully, both trees are safely on the ground. There was no way I could cut on the ash the way it was hung up. I knew the second tree was...
Well I got out of work a couple hours early so I could get a little cutting in before dark. Cut into a 20" ash that got hung up in another tree...
I know what you mean. I felt kinda weird the first time I took a picture of a wood stack. But now it's just a normal part of the process. Cut,...
It could be worse, I guess. I'd rather be Ab Normal than Moe DeLawn.
Sorry, Fanatical 1. I posted a pic of the elm I split last weekend. Saturday I'm gonna cut some dead ash and I will try to take some pictures.
That's what I like about you guys; you make me feel normal, even though we're all prolly a little crazy!
Tomorrow is finally Friday, and the weekend can't get here fast enough! I'm gonna cut some wood, like I always do, and I can't wait. When Monday...
You are right about the wind. I know that I can handle much colder temperatures when there's little or no wind. Last Saturday was in the teens...
I'm sure I prolly don't swing a maul /axe with perfect form. What would you say makes a perfect swing? It would be nice to eliminate some bad...
I would like to try an x27, just to compare to my cheapo maul. It's hard to believe that such a lightweight head could split effectively, but...
I think the one I saw had a 28" handle, not sure though.
Sacrificing the socks were not an option. Wool. Too scratchy. T-shirt was 100% cotton.
I saw a fiskars at the Family Farm and Home store last night, but it didn't seem to have a model number on it. It just said " Fiskars Splitting...
I will have to look into that. Any idea what brand of maul it was?
Yikes!!!
I've just got a cheapo maul. I've had good luck with cherry and ash. Haven't split much oak. The elm is tough, but hitting it while frozen...
No hydros for me, yet. I split some ash yesterday and it was a pleasure. Elm is no pleasure, it is work. If I ever do get a splitter, it will...
If there is a more miserable wood to split on this earth, I hope I never see it. The larger rounds just laughed at me.
Thought it might be a good day to split some elm (if there is such a thing). The below zero temps were just the edge I needed to put a hurtin' on...
Went into woods to split elm today. Forgot butt paper. I'm gonna miss that shirt. Nuff said.
