I've heard that said, about the gradual split entry of the curved face, but it made little/no sense to me. No matter what you do with a straight...
Higher octane than necessary will reduce power output. You don't need, or benefit from, higher than 89 octane. The canned pre-mix has long...
Nope.
Out of ignorance, Mike, of how to set mixture UNDER LOAD, and not understanding the stress this applies to piston skirts when the engine is revved...
Often Northern Tool has specials on a very useful grinder for $100- enormously preferable to the HF grinder, enormously. Still, a grinder is...
Spent much time recently clearing big shagbark blowdowns. Seismic events on hitting the ground. Moved some of it home so far- c/s/s a year's worth...
IMO: Best splitting wedge = 6 lb head on Council Tool maul, after tiny touch-up at/near the edge. Hands-down. Mueller 3 kg maul also excellent, as...
There are saws that are almost impossible to jam with noodles. (Except when you let the pile reach the saw.) Some examples I've run: Husqy 576 &...
Is that a solicitation for a "You suck!"? Just asking. :whistle:
From this side (non-Stihl-fanboy) joking-mode of Stihl-afficionados can be hard to ID. Didn't even know it existed. [/joking-mode] ;) Things they...
Nice try, but wrong. You "forgot" Dolmar & RedMax. What was your point?
Wouldn't it be great if they'd invented the primer pump? Which, of course, "pro" saws don't need. :rolleyes:
By the bark and the widely-spaced annual rings, looks like some mountain ash a neighbor gave me a couple years back. Burned nicely. On a cut face...
I'm seeing a red maple, bucked, in first pic, sugar maple in the last one. Sure doesn't look like any oak to me. Should be immediately obvious...
Y'know, it's not either/or. You can noodle partway through, to make a parting-line, then use maul/wedge. Helps to get through knots & forks, and...
Poor baby, unclefess! Looks like a mix of norway & sugar. You don't need any of us to tell you what needs to be done. :cool: Nice try if you're...
Those are the sort of trees that make me love my wee polesaw (w/14" bar mounted), cable-winch, wedges & tow-straps. Anything to keep your face out...
Yup, quite often depending on the size of the billet. Sometimes after halving them. Not obsessive. Just like the sound quality of the "Thwack!";...
Scrubbed things out in spring. Had to pull the indoors pipe to clean it. Maybe a couple quarts of fluffy debris. The pipe will get another "hit"...
I've found that some splitting tools propel the fragments much more than others. Some of the better-behaved ones: Council 6 lb, Mueller 3 kg. Of...
