Well I guess the time has come to see who gets to join this year. It's currently a balmy -17*F outside and 78*F in so I'm only at the 95* mark now. Just loaded the stove and heading to bed so maybe in the AM temps will be cooler out. If I don't make it this round then next week for sure with...

Just cruising the local craigslist ads and came across this (picture below). in all reality it's exactly what I've been looking for but I'm a little over-spent at the moment. Any way, on closer inspection I realized the cylinder was mounted backwards from most and that the whole beam and wedge...

I was L&M Fleet in Detroit Lakes, MN on friday and noticed the old standard model 1400 HotBlast stove had a make over. I looked a little closer and it now has a fully brick lined firebox and secondary burn built in from the factory. Just wondering if anyone has bought or tried one? it looks like...

havent joined it yet but maybe tonight if I get the stove a bit warm. currently its -15 still outside and 78 in the room by the stove and computer where I spend most of my time. calling for -18 tonight so we will see

This time of year I'm pretty much done burning wood as I'm far to busy to mess with wood heat. The days are warmer and I may light and occasional fire on a wet day but usually let the fuel oil take over the normal nighttime heating duties. This morning at 430 I woke up to a house full of...

Just a curious question for you guys. How often do you get your tetanus booster shot? I do a bunch of Township stuff and regularly spend a week cut up and full of buckthorn slivers. Bug bites are also common here in Minnesota and it's easy to get 200 bites a day. From all the reading I've done...

So I was cruising through the picture forum section and ran across this. It doesn't get much traffic over there so I thought I'd link it to the section I spend most of my time so you guys could appreciate it too http://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/construction-of-dads-log-cabin.301595/

Cruising the interwebs the other day and i ran across the new Fiskars XA22 Hookaroon. I see its relatively new and theres not much out there for reviews yet. has anyone tried it yet? i like the design and style of it and am thinking of getting one. one of the reasons i never bought the Logrite...

Anyone ever come across a good way to figure out the amount of firewood in a loose tossed pile of firewood? I barely have time to split my wood for the year let alone stack it. ive always just guessed at how much i use by how many times i have to fill my crate for the house and trailer for the...

Due to the recent hacking most of the pictures were lost in my wood splitter picture thread. I believe this to be a very valuable and insightful page that people can go to when they are thinking of building a splitter. I have looked at the pictures myself many times when making changes to my own...

this winter i purchased the northern tool powerhouse 20 ton dual split log splitter on sale and assembled for $950. i had been tossin around the idea of pickin up a northstar Vertical/Horizantal splitter in the 20 ton range just for the small stuff and splitting by myself. i already have a huge...

just watched an episode of the simpsons on hulu and an ad come on for the new texas chainsaw 3D movie. the guy had a stihl 441 in his hands. couldnt see it real well in the preview but it looked like it had a 25in B/C. even had the bubble top look with the clips on the sides of the air cleaner...

Just a quick post to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. stay safe:msp_biggrin:

Ran into this as i was looking for a good deal on an electric hot tire regrooving tool. thought you guys mite get a kick out of it. i also posted it over in the off the topic section so sorry if i made you guys check it out twice. i just thought it was kinda funny and amazed that it really...

I dont normally run my saws in the summer unless i need to but ive started to get into doing tree cutting jobs for guys that dont want to or have the know how to do it themselves. anyway, i need some advise on keeping my saws running right and not melting down in the summer heat and humidity...

after reading all the good reviews on here i figured its worth a shot and ordered a Fiskars yesterday. cheapest place i found was on Amazon.com for 49.99 shipped to my door. should be here towards the end of next week. hope im not holding too high of hopes for this thing. but then again its only...

I saw this on you tube and had to share it. its really not a bad idea. i bet its probably just as safe or safer than the old buzz saws and easier as a one man opperation. if i had long straight wood id give some serious thought into building one but around here the trees are so crooked im lucky...

Im going to start off by saying i officially have CAD. i went to visit a coworker today and left with two saws. an 024 AV super and a remington bantam. got the super cleaned and waiting on fuel line but i know nothing about the remington saw. are they rare? good? junk? worth anything to anyone...

a buddy of mine has a stihl ms311. he bought it new and has never messed with the carb. i took the saw home with me today to sharpen his hacked file job chain and set the rakers so he could cut wood and not start a fire with the bar when he was done. chain sharp i made a couple test cuts and...
