I do have a couple beater chains that I went crazy on the beak with. Fast yes, but wear fast too. I haven't tried it yet but I assume they'd be...
Has anybody experimented with tooth angles in respect to different species? I usually run about 25 degrees as standard operating procedure. I'm...
Au contraire, white pine does a heck of a job burning down hardwood coal beds when they get too deep. Put a couple pieces on the coals, open the...

Love that reference and book ~ Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance :yes:
I went to Burlington once about 15 years ago, to go tour the Magic Hat brewery and do some sightseeing. The whole way up I-91 then I-89 is all...
