    What goes up must come down...?

    My garage doors eyes are mounted about 6” apart on the hardware that suspends the motor and drive from the ceiling. Never get blocked with leaves...

    Thoughts on Holzfforma saws

    Listen closely……

    I wish I could hear stuff like that. Too many days of running chainsaws and too many thousands of rounds fired with no hearing protection. Protect...

    Thoughts on Holzfforma saws

    I have a g666 and a g444. Have probably bucked 35 cords between the two of them. Had need of a big saw occasionally, but didn’t want to spend the...

    Wear those saw chaps people!

    Can’t like that. Glad it wasn’t worse and hope you have a speedy recovery. I took one just above the knee cap about 30 years ago. No stitches…they...

    Waste Oil Disposal

    It came out of the ground, might as well put it back where it came from. Renewable energy for future generations! Lol

    Is this cottonwood?

    The last cottonwood I got was the hardest splitting stuff I ever processed and I process a lot of elm. Most of it just shredded. Tree service guys...

    Now I understand, drop offs

    First year using Black Locust extensively.

    I’ve had the same experience with honey locust (never burned any black locust that I’m aware of). If i fill the stove up it is a very short burn...

    What wood splitter do you use?

    I have the 25 ton county line from Tractor Supply. Picked it up in 2017 on end of year close out for $599. They had 2 and I should have bought...

    New (to me) saw

    My first saw was an 029 that I bought used in a pawn shop. Cut a couple thousand metric crap-tons of firewood with that saw. Started to get a...

    What are my options for pre-made kindling?

    That is what I do. Very rarely use any kindling. Just a few small splits and hit them with the propane torch for about 60 seconds. Small propane...

    Eastern White Pine vs Red Pine

    Question on split length

    Since all of my wood is for my own use, I’m generally not terribly concerned about consistent lengths. If I have something 22-24” long I usually...

    Target rich environment!!!
