    I just texted my neighbor with a video of splitting a large log with a plunge cut and black powder... It's not a question of "if" we'll try it, but WHEN... :whistle:

    I inherited a live ww2 Japanese mortar and planned on strapping it to a tree, pulling the pin and shooting it from a distance. Thinking it through...I chickened out.
    I think I'm the only one who ever called into work and told them I'd be in after the bomb squad left.
