    Welcome to the group.

    It looks like your storing wood at a storage unit. Have a good time with the splitter.

    A friend owns a cabinet shop and these three shops, I lease half of a 40x60 shop. Some more of my madness.

    I didn't get any pics of splitter but it's still parked in the shop waiting for tomorrow. Here's where I'm at after today, now everything is split. Man this is killing me, I've touched this wood way too many times.

    Welcome!

    And here's that intro thread.

    http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/index.php?threads/introduce-yourself-here.147/unread

    I'm also going to send this thread over to the firewood forum, you'll get a bigger response there. ;)

    But make sure you post those splitter pics here in the Tool Shed/Power Equipment forum! :drool::thumbs:

    Glad to see you here Unicorn1. Looks like some tough splitting. Hard to tell on my phone but did I see a birch round or two? Think my eyes played a trick on me while looking at a barkless log.

    The large pile of splits is after a second pass through the splitter, so I've stacked that pile twice. I gotta work smarter.

    As with everything, practice makes perfect. Or atleast improvement. Unless you were born with the awesomeness that is backwoods savage.
