I've had raccoons around my house forever, but I've never had them crap on my wood. Now every day they leave me new present on top of a row of Bradford Pear that I have in my woodshed. My shed is covered, but has no walls on three sides. The strange part is they only crap on the Pear. I also...

My son and I are going to build an electric guitar together. I have done wood working, but this will be the first wood I am sourcing directly from a tree, so I’m not sure how to do it correctly. I have some rounds of hard maple and oak that are large enough, so I am going to use the saw to rough...

I got into a discussion on another site with a guy who said he sells 1/4 face cords for $50. I said I thought that was expensive for approximately 10 cubic ft of wood, which equates to $600/cord. The consensus on there was that price seemed about right. Am I out of touch with reality, or does...

I just bought one of these used from Home Depot and they've tuned it to 11,500 RPM. I was able to adjust the low speed jet with a screwdriver, but it has some kind of strange shaped end on the high speed jet. I have a set of 5 different types of carb adjusters, but none fit this. Where can I...

I was splitting last weekend when suddenly a fountain of hot hydraulic oil shot up about 6 feet in the air. I quickly jumped back, and by the time I got my bearings and ran around the other side to hit the kill switch, everything was covered. Turns out the fitting on the hose connecting to the...

I just had one show up at my house 3 days ago. I was out splitting, and I look over and there he is staring me right in the face. I moved, he ran under the barn. I researched ways to trap him, and decided snares was the best way to go about catching him with the least possibility of getting...

I just installed an aftermarket 84cc BB kit on one of my DCS 6421's. I installed it without the base gasket. I checked squish by placing 4 short pieces of solder on top of the piston with grease (front, back, left, and right) and turning the flywheel by hand. It measured .027-.029. I plugged...

Down to -12F this morning. That's pretty damn cold for Indiana. I'm sure someone can beat that though.

I just got a new bar for my 346XP. I ordered an Oregon Power Match 160RNBK095. I received a bar with that number on it, but it's called a Power Cut. I am not familiar with that model. Did Oregon change the name for some reason? Google searches have yielded bars in both names under that part #.

These things look pretty cool, and they're dirt cheap. $52 on Amazon with 20 ft rope included. Anyone used one that can give me an opinion on how it works, durability, etc? Also, I'm looking to get some new rope, most likely a double braid. I've been using 1/2 and 3/4 nylon, and it's just...

I have been buying fatwood for years to start my fires, but I always thought it was only located at the base of the tree, down by the roots. I believe that's where the stuff you buy in the store comes from, but I didn't know you could easily find it in pretty much any pine tree to use for...

I have this blower on my Englander NC30 stove. It's the standard blower that comes with the stove. Its located in my fireplace, so I didn't have room to mount it on the back. I built a plenum out of sheet metal with a 90 degree elbow that let me mount it on the side. Anyway, that doesn't...

For the last 20 years I've been using a $5 Big Lots piece of garbage that holds an edge about as good as plastic silverware, so I've decided it's time to upgrade. I'm not going to be hatcheting professionally, so I want to keep the price reasonable. So far, I've narrowed it to: 1. The Fiskars...

Is what My wife calls it when a tree falls in a storm. This was my project this weekend. A tree blew over in one of the pastures, and literally came within about foot of landing on the wood fence. The steel pasture fencing on the other side didn't make out so well. I wasn't sure if I would...

I was thinking about getting a 4 way wedge for my DHT 27 ton splitter, but I've been reading some reviews that say people have had problems with weak welds on them. Does anyone know if they have resolved this issue?

I know it's a day early, but I'm going to be off the grid tomorrow, and probably so will a lot of other people. Relax, enjoy your time with family, eat too much pie, and watch plenty of football.

I built a barn last year. It's a 16X16 with a 16X12 wing on either side for a total footprint of 16X40. I'm just now getting around to adding a work bench. It's 8 ft long X 32" wide. I have pegboard installed about 30" high, and plan to put some type of shelving above that. I would like to...

Home Depot has the Englander 30 NC(H) (I think they add the H for Home Depot) on sale for $719, so I think it may be time to retire the old Fisher Honey Bear, and pull the trigger on one of these. I would appreciate some feedback from those who have used one of these for awhile, especially...
