That might actually be fun to watch. It would but the cost goes up considerably. 6' Ball thread lead screw, same pitch as above, $400.

First of all, it's very good to think about creative ways to build a splitter and save $$. A threaded rod solution is feasible and in the early days of manufacturing there were many threaded presses and press type tools in service. Compared to hydraulics there are specific problems that you...

I took the family out for breakfast this morning and while we were out we listened to a deal being made for 2.5 cord of seasoned wood. "It's ready to burn, the logs are three years old. I just need to run them through my processor and I can deliver 'em." I can tell you that I've had 8'...

Rarefish, this is interesting information. When I find BL colonies they tend to have many BL trees of various height and age vying for light and the resulting effect is quite shady. I've seen weeds and briars underneath but often the soil looks similar to what is found in old Apple orchards...

BL also poisions the soil around it so other trees are less likely to thrive. But the wood lasts and lasts even if it is tough to work with.

I'm near Tilton NH but I picked this up in Manchester. Folks in the city seem more likely to give away firewood. Most don't bother with wood stoves, they can't burn in open fires, and they have to pay to have wood removed.

I was asked to help drive a bus on Tuesday. As a mechanic and the maintenance manager it's not my favorite job but with the rain and ice we had a number of drivers out so I did what needed to be done. Just off a very busy road on my way through a fairly new housing project I spotted a small...

My sheds are about 3.5 cord each. They're roughly 8' X 8' inside. The floor is 5/8" PT decking with one inch between boards and sits 9" above the soil in front and 14" in the back. Sides consist of 8' by 2' plywood strips installed with 3" of overlap between strips. Where the strips overlap...

In my 20s I spent a few years in MT. We'd see at a time at -30 to -40F without windchill. I learned a bunch about working in the cold because work needed to be done no matter the weather. Plus, I felt we had nothing to complain about because they were typically going through -40 to -50F in...

It's been a while since I've posted. I hope everyone here is having good luck with their finds. I managed to stumble across two Red Oak trees, about 36" diameter at the base, freshly cut in the back yard of a house close to my work. It took a few weeks to get them out as I had to cut, split...

Then he proceeded to tell you what work to do. ;) I had a row fall this spring. First time that's happened to me. I'm not sure why it fell, either... I *think* the kids were playing on it. The pallet beneath is still level and the stacks were pretty secure. No one knows anything so I'll...

No... I didn't just read that. Did I? :innocent: Just keep enjoying those opportunities while they last. :laugh:

The large tree looks like Siberian Elm. I've never seen a young SE tree before but the large growth rings and reddish color match the characteristics I know for that species.

The marking is incorrect. For small engines and anything made before 1990, "None" and "Too much" is all we need. There are few areas in NH where E Zero is available. And with humidity and frequent temperature changes E anything miserable. I make sure to keep my fuel containers closed...

I have the benefit of working with a girl who lived in Germany. It's tough to convey in subtitles how angry he really is...

Different stoves may work better with different techniques. In my Englander secondary burner, I place small pieces with some Birch bark on the floor toward the rear of the stove. Then I place roughly 1" round pieces from the rear wall at the top to the floor just inside the door. Then I set...

Vet stories... always interesting to sit and listen. My Grandfather flew a B24 and was shot down in Germany on 2nd (I believe) mission. My great grandfather emigrated from Germany and great Grandma was from Alsace-Lorraine so my grandfather was treated very badly. I had no idea until he was...

I've got that PC lefty worm drive circular. Helluva saw. And none of my friends want to borrow it! I'm predominantly right handed due to 2nd grade teacher: "The left hand is the hand of the Devil!" But I do plenty of jobs with either hand including runing a chainsaw. Yeah, you've got to...

I wouldn't use it for a Barber Chair. And you can measure the piston wear by the rings... I like the wood grain dash, Mossy Oak floor mats, and Fir seat covers. I dunno, but the canopy is nice. Yeah, it's a green Beetle thing. I know. I heard it tapping! I feel sorry for the sap...

But it only has the face value of a rick shaw!
