    quick splitter fix question.

    I have a MTD with a B&S engine. Well the pull rope broke on me. It seems that there is a metal guard over where the pull rope winds. This metal guard is riveted down. How do I access the rope to replace it, or do I have to unrivet that thing? Thanks

    Outside of stove cleaning?

    Well guys, I have started to get my wood under the wood shed. The snow just melted off and we had lots of it! I put a bunch of Ash and a little Oak under the roof. Next I will cut up some more Oak thats down the road and start working on the Pine trees that have been down since late 2008. Some...

    Yet another creosote question...

    I was in the same boat, my first year was alot of unseasoned wood. But my first "good" year will prolly be next, I finally built what I call a wood shed, my wood now got under it in September, it is still so/so. Next year it should be great. I burn a mixed bag: from most burnt to least---->...

    leaner, what did I do wrong??

    Mike Van, that is the first time I hit those wires or anything for that matter, I have dropped dozens of trees in tight spots. This one just beat me this time.

    leaner, what did I do wrong??

    I don't have a ladder that tall, I made a mistake, and I know it. Thats why I am seeking advice, tieing it off is most basic idea and I should have done it. I was just wondering if a notching or wedging tactic would have worked for a back yard logger like me!

    leaner, what did I do wrong??

    Which felling book is that? I would love to read it for knowledge. I ordered "to fell a tree" after my little mistake, plus I don't read enough books!

    leaner, what did I do wrong??

    The tree was topped in a storm, all the branch whirls went with the top. Not a single branch left, just the stem, like a telephone pole. It leaned because half way up the tree, it started to grow crooked and more toward that side. How would I get a rope around something like that? The other...

    Don't know how I could have put a rope up high enough to control fall.

    I saw the post on tapered hinge, get the concept but wish there was more on where the tree was NOT to go so I could see a broader picture

    leaner, what did I do wrong??

    I just cut a simple notch like you would do with a regular fall. Notch and back cut.

    leaner, what did I do wrong??

    I have some Pines that got topped 2 decembers ago in an ice storm. I will not let them waste so I will process them as fire wood. Anyways.... This is what happened and you can tell me where I went wrong. Saying that the tree is in the 12 O'clock position. There are some power lines in...
