I have to admit that I am surprised we never had one (or at least that I know of). I do not say that because we were all that and a bag of prezels...
That is what I like about my log loader, my sawmill will stay in one place and my log loader can take the logs from the stump to the mill. No...
BUT it beats a misery whip...also known as a cross cut saw! (I was not being mouthy, that was what they were notoriously known as)
I think it is its sheathing. At 3-1/2 inches thick now, imagine trying to buckle a sheet of plywood 3-1/2 inches thick and 16 feet tall. It is...
Assuming the sawmilling is done in the same area most of the time (and not a custom, portable operation), why can't such an edger be set up like...
You should see the house I live in now if you think that is bad. We honestly have a rule, "No jumping". We have main floating beams. I would like...
All kidding aside, you might have noticed Katie is a good sport in all of this, and wears a lot of different shoes. The one in her little red...

This one isn't, but it is probably as priceless as the man's paintings (Picasso). Not really a smoke dragon though, or if it is, it extracts all...
If I put one length of Popple in a load of firewood, I would lose the customer forever. It just is not firewood here. Basswood is not either. The...
Not counting a few divorces, the only court issues I ever had was with the EPA. They like to throw their weight around, but they looked pretty...
I feel the exact same way!!
I had one of those stoves, but it was called a Wonderwood. There was a lot of knock-offs, but I have no idea which one was original. I liked mine,...
I got the perfect excuse to come to Maine: we are working on possibly putting together a Firewood Hoarders Get Together next summer at my farm. If...
