I don't like other people bucking my logs. I want them 18ish inches, not somewhere between 15 and 22.
Thanks! After adding a log lift and big work table I would never split any other way again.
It's still damm hot here but I couldn't resist splitting and stacking. The sooner it gets off the ground the sooner it starts drying. [ATTACH]
Found a $100 bill recently. I don't get lucky like that very often.

I'm way better off than last year. I finally got ahead this year. Almost done with next years wood and there is a good 10 more cords of oak on...
It's a good thing he top covered those big rounds sitting in the dirt. Should really help speed up rot, especially the ones end grain down.
5-6 cords for heat and hot water until the cold was over then switched to electric hot water. We are heating 2200ish fairly well insulated square...
Thanks for all the advice everyone. I can't figure out why all of these damm cylinders have such small ports to begin with. A 5" cylinder with a...

I have a 5" bore cylinder from a splitter that I want to change the port size on so I can use a 28gpm pump. It has 1/2 npt ports and the hole...
Oh, you need 2 saws. A little one and a big one. Once you get those you realize your big one is really a medium one so you get an actual big saw...
Yup, looking for a sucker to pick up a bunch of half rotten pallets.
Looks like a fair deal but man, my back hurts just looking at those things. A lot less work than an axe though.
You might not be able to get it in Orange. I emailed stewarts and they said they cannot sell it in dutchess but are trying to put it in locations...
A lot of the stewart's are starting to sell it. If you go on the website there is a list. I think he bought it somewhere south of the mid hudson...
That choker hook is a slip hook. The harder you pull, the tighter it gets. It probably won't work well with just a length of chain. You pin it...
If they don't, give the choker hook a try. $7 and a length of chain is a lot cheaper than tongs and it works.
I made a couple of chokers with this: http://www.labonville.com/516-Choker-Chain-Hook_p_91.html It worked it very well and never slipped off.
When I build my woodshed I pored concrete posts and built a level deck. I used to shim pallets for my other stacks to level them but now I just...
