I LIKE IT! I'll be making one soon, then (hopefully) I can retire the ramp I built.
On Saturday night? No. When I'm running a chainsaw? YES! A close call cut my Levis but spared my flesh.
Almond! Very high btu (over 30 mbtu), very little splitting (only the short trunks are big enough to require splitting) and they actually plant...
My cost is about the same as Bogy's, $10/cord permit, $30-$35 in fuel, bar oil, 2-cycle oil, chain sharpening. I do get more than 8 cords from a...
You are, of course, correct. I was trying to head off the inevitable "run your car (stove) on water" assertions based on a complete lack of...
Unfortunately, the heat produced by the combustion of hydrogen goes up the stack in the form of water vapor. (I'm getting an uneasy sense of deja...
Almond.
Yes, in a "normal" winter we would have 2 feet of snow, overnight lows in the teens or lower and daytime highs in the 30s. Right now (1:30 pm)...
This is just getting weird! I'm back to shoulder burning, letting the fire go out during the day. At 6:30 this morning, it was 41°, at 8:00 it was...
Get some, HF has 'em cheap. When I approach a tree, I have my saw, two wedges in my back pocket and my maul to drive 'em. I even bought some 5 in....
Thanks Dex, It's almost like the evolutionary descendant of the drag saw. [media]
D*mn my dyslexia is getting worse! That's a 253 C.I. The company actually manufactures splitters and processors. http://www.superaxe.com.au/
To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee: "That's not a chainsaw.... THIS is a chainsaw!" http://www.dump.com/australianchainsaw/
Man, that sucks! Looks like you might benefit from bogydave's method of leaning the stacks toward each other.
I have to fight the tendency to notch too deeply. I "learned" to fell trees incorrectly, making the notch very deep and expecting the tree to fall...
Felling is like landing an airplane. Any landing you walk away from is a good one. Tree is on the ground, no damage, no injuries. Good job!
No surprise that you got faster ash accumulation when burning slightly decomposed wood. The stuff that doesn't burn also doesn't rot. You're...
Cross-stack (crib) the ends because I don't have enought pallet book-ends yet. 3 rows deep=48 in.= pallet width Top cover because a lot of my wood...
Great for making kindling. Seems like those Europeans like their wood small.:whistle: I suppose you could always hit it with a sledge.
Oh, well that's another matter completely. Nevermind. You really had my attention at this point, then the next line began with "chocolate".:(
