Thanks for the replies, I'll take a walk down the powerlines this week and see if I can find some logs that will do. Im hoping to find logs that...
So I finally pulled the trigger on a small chainsaw mill, Granberg G777. I need three 6x6 beams (two 10' and one 16') to repair a second story...
You should add some Diesel 911 to the fuel now too...if you come up in winter and it's been sitting in the cold that fuel will be gelled right up!
Wow looks great! 210 taps is a lot more than I do, last year I think I had about 30...so like I said, Im very small scale. We have 40-acres but...
Wow can you post a few more pics/details about that sugar shack??? I have been sugaring (strictly as a hobby) for past 3 years, I'd love to build...
I can't imagine doing 8 cord without sharpening either. Maybe he meant 8 cord without having it sharpened professionally on a grinder? That...
Even better, consider this style opener instead: [ATTACH] Liftmaster 8500. It spins a jack shaft to lift the door instead of the traditional...
I agree, I love the smell of red oak and it's my favorite firewood as well.
Idaho! Very cool. About 10-years ago I was working on an offshore oil rig with a guy from Idaho...after listening to his backcountry stories for...
Awesome setup! Where'd you order the grinder from?

What real world prices are you guys seeing on the Stihl 462? Ive wanted one for quite a while now but have yet to see one at my dealer. I would...
Yes, the nut was very triangular. I definitely jumped the gun on the chestnut theory...it certainly appears to be beech. Dont think Ive ever...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I saw these odd nuts on a decent size tree out back behind my house, along an old logging access road. Jumped on the web to see...
[ATTACH] I vote for dump trailer as well. I had bought a small 6 wheel dump truck but never had any time to get it going. Recently sold it and...
I'd say white. All the red oak I've cut (and I cut a lot) has been very obviously RED. That doesn't look red to me.
I prefer to keep it at 66 but my wife wants it around 74, so we compromise and keep it at 74. Keeping the humidity down does more for me than...
Interesting. My DR Rapidfire splitter has been amazing, this is my 5th season with it...somewhere around 10-12 cord per season. The only issue I...
Too bad you weren't a bit closer to New Hampshire, I just recently pulled a switch out that was installed when we bought the house. I had an...
