Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[U&A]

Your not retarded it takes practice. You'll get it. I did a lot of horizontal practice before I ever tried one with the saw vertical.

Its all about common sense. I did my first few vertical and do them vertical all the time. Just approach/start it the right way and angle and its 100% safe.

T handle or not. It all about starting it properly.

Not something I do a lot of but nice to know in certain situations.

True! I remembered to put some sleepers/cribbing under the load this time!

Winch scrounge is coming along. Here's the mounting plate all welded up, flipped upside down & primered.

Looky looky what I found across the back trail on my property. It's been dead since I bought the land 10 years ago and probably more than that seeing as how we're close to the EAB epicenter. As is typical here the roots finally rotted to the point that it just tipped over. Only the first couple of rounds show any sign of punk - I even chunked of a few solid pieces from the root ball. Sure splits nice and they add up quick at this size.

Even made another ax throwing target to take to my buddy tonight.

Now if your really good you could do some maul throwing and split the lot up .

Okay guys I’m off on holidays from tomorrow. Earlier in the year my lovely wife gave me a big leave pass (the first since we had kids). So I’ve organised a rafting trip down the Franklin river in Tasmania with seven of my best mates. It will be an eight day trip covering 120km, it’s a ‘wild river’ meaning there is no farmland or human habitation in the entire catchment. Once you start your committed to go all the way as there are no roads or exit points and no phone coverage.
I’ll post some pics when I get back.....Adios.

I was just going to tell him to bring a bow!!!

FYI, I have a Kodiak Magnum Recurve (same bow as in the movie, but had it before I saw the movie).

I remember we all went home and practiced our archery!

Jeff, have a safe and enjoyable trip, and Happy New Year everyone!!!

A true adventure! 8 guys in a raft/rafts. 8 days without resupply on a 'wild river'? How on earth do carry enough brew

Inner tubes!

Well, I didn't plan to build another saw before Tax Season, but Harold's son needed a saw, so one of my Asian 440 Big Bore's is going to him, and I'm building a replacement for myself, Asian 440 GG #4!

 

[MustangMike]

The cylinders need a lot of work, but if you do it, they run pretty well. I plan to lower the intake, open up the exhaust, install bridge ports, and move the upper transfers where they belong (closer to the intake).

 

[MustangMike]

The squish band looks good, and the outer intake is not too bad, but the outer exhaust also needs lots of work! It is not even symmetrical!
