Got the last of the solid and mostly-solid ash from this one tree. Unfortunately lots of wood left behind from the lower trunk and the top that...
So… California?
My splitter is loaned out for the time being so out came the monster maul this morning. Other than a couple crotchety pieces, they all blew right...
Sorry to hear about the job. Sometimes these things wake us up to even bigger possibilities. That’s how I ended up in Florida years ago. I quit...
In my experience dead ash dries fast. Being on the cusp on dry, it shouldn’t take long. A month from now and it’ll be noticeably drier. You can...
39/68 ash, cherry and one split of red oak. Going to enjoy the next couple days of warmth then start burning in earnest. [ATTACH]
Around Christmas time last year we had an intense cold snap come through and it was -7 when I got up one morning. My saws are stored in a garage...
Thanks for the input. I think once the wheel geometry is dialed in, the way to go would to be turn a wheel in the lathe and send it out for...
Alright, the cat's out of the bag. Out of anywhere in the country, my personal choice is northern New Hampshire. 20 years ago I did a lot of...
Thanks, much appreciated. I may take you up on that offer... There are quite a few online videos on how to use these jigs, and I'm no stranger to...
The chain I rocked yesterday needed a ton of work, and it was already worked pretty well from converting it to square file from round. I ended up...
It was YOU that gave me the idea over a year ago :handshake: Sometimes these things take a while before the ball gets rolling.
Has anyone seen (or even better, used) one of these jigs to do square grind on their chain grinder? I’m a novice when it comes to square filing...
I dunno man, I'm on a mission to clear out the back of the woodyard. Have lots of rearranging to do in the spring between the addition for my...
I could go for that... but I'd have to be way up high in the Appalachians.
Never assume, fellas. I went to cut some dead red oak that turned out to have 3-4” of outer punk. Not for this guy. I headed up the road further...
That was the original idea getting these logs, but after cutting into them I saw they were more mealy than I wanted. Only the very center would’ve...
One decent load of dead/barkless and surprisingly mostly dry ash, heading to my uncle’s. I’m cleaning house in my backyard and didn’t want to hang...
In the spirit of chances blown and lifelong regrets, yeah I'm gonna go there. Back when I was 20 years younger, I found myself cornered one day...
Where would it be? I've got long-term goals where I'd like to go in another decade or so, but I'd like to hear other people's aspirations....
