i dont know if 'you' could but a 'mason' could....all it would cost is money

funny you say that....the smoke (what little there is) hits that cap and condenses into water and drips into my chimney.. one year i had that wire mesh plug up with snow and ice, filled the house with smoke, had to climb the roof in a blizzard to clean it off...like i said..the cap causes more...

MY OPINON.....i have a brick chimney and clay flue...i dont have a cap, i think it causes more problems than it fixes....i might put it on in the summer if i feel like it but usually the strong winds we get around here will eventually blow it off. Dont know what you have for a chimney but if its...

Even if it was the cats pajamas I wouldn't pay more than $40 for it.

I was in northern tool buying a new hydraulic valve the other day and seen this tool. I'm sure it would be pretty slick for making kindling but I don't think it's worth $100. I've never needed to make kindling, I just use scraps for that. Anybody used this?

Got it all welded back up and got the log split that was causing problems. turns out it was a pretty knotty piece of elm thats been dead for a long time. Still havent got the gauge on. have to order parts. I really cant tell if its shifting in to 2nd stage, there is no definite change in sound...

Do this all the time... but not because of heat... I work night shift alot and on my nights off i still stay up all night. I do pretty much everything i would if it were daylight. Neighbors are 1/2 mile away so i try not to make too much noise.

looks like it fits together too good to be a voglezang....:laugh: could be a tractor supply branded version or any other brand really but basically they are all the same and you got it for half the price of new so you did good...

Kevin, im questioning weather its kicking down into the second stage myself. it acts like its not. Im pretty confident the old kohler is plenty of motor. Its a old cast iron motor. must weigh over a hundred pounds, i dont like picking it up. Lots of rotational mass there. Theres a huge...

Yea its been a long project. most my prep and welds that i didnt paint right away, have a protective coating of rust by now. But, when i prep i grind the rust off. if its really thick metal, ill bevel the edges. Im no great welder but i know enough to get me by just fine...usually. Doubt i have...

Ive use splitters of both types. i find when handling the "BIG" ones, wedge on ram is what i like. Depending on how things go i may switch it around, cause there are benifits to each type. my welder is a old foreny. i used 6011 on it im sure and for some odd reason i can only use that rod on...

the beam of the splitter is two i beams welded together side by side and the foot is made the same way....the foot is welded all over, anywhere i could get a stick into. 3 passes in some areas. My old welder must not be getting enough penetration... Thats the least of my worrys. Ill take it...

Well i finally got the hydraulic hoses made for my wood splitter. Got it all together and it looks like my brand new prince valve is cracked under the outlet port. I thought id at least split some to say i did, it didnt seem to have the power it should, wouldnt split a log about 16inches in...

i just keep a hatchet near by for such wood

OK. Thanks guys! so i guess i cant change where the in and out are?

Getting ready to add the hydraulic hoses to my splitter build. but im kinda confused on where the pressure hose hooks up to my barnes 28 gpm pump. I see the inlet and a big hex shaped plug next to that, and on the other side is a plastic plug. im guessing thats where the outlet is but im...

i think the loose head is just a matter of how it is attached to the handle. its just a poor way to attatch the handle and i think it will always be a problem. im guessing the leveraxe 1 doesnt have this problem, but i have no experiance with it to back up that claim

Yea when it gets stuck it really is alot harder to get out than a normal axe!

will one of those tree services be able to teach you the ropes in climbing? I totaly understant if you dont wanna work for anyone else.... Youtube can help you get an idea of what to do, how to do it, and what not to do...and there fun to watch!

alot of members are gonna tell you that on here.... like gorrila says respect the ones who deserve it. learning by some one experienced is the way to go if possible.
