An older family friend gifted me 4 complete o31 and parts from about 3 others. He knew I tinkered with saws and he gave up on them. Told me to fix and sell as he just wanted them gone. All have nice compression and the ignition was the main culprit on them so I replace with solid state coils. he...

Been kicking ideas around in my head for years on what would work best for the process I use to haul wood. Been using a standard Chevy pickup and a 1/2 ton at that. LOL It has served me well but an upgrade was in order so I found a model I could work with with a soild base. A 1980 Chevy k30...

I've been storing wood at my Dad's place which is about 7 miles away. We have 40 acres of woods there but I have some woods here as well. Just wanted to have something close and nice here to store firewood. I had a a barn that was totalled in a windstorm and decided to fix it up with some wood...

Decided to add a couple things to the Chipper. I need a place to hold the saws, pre mix, bar oil and maintenance bucket. When I chip I always need a saw and holding it or having it on the tractor moving gets old fast. I had a length of 6x6 pressure treated and simply used some long carriage...

I have a Central Boiler Classic SCL 5648SB Titanium enhanced Stainless steel Boiler. Put it in myself in 2002. Pretty particular with my stuff and you can see the install via the picture links. Completely cleaned and inspected the stove as normal and checked the PH and everything was fine. I...

Have a MS 192 rear handle that I bought new. Love the little thing for trimming and limb work up but it's been acting up on me for about a year now. Seemed like less power and had to run on partial choke at times. Clean the carb and filters. Checked the spark arrestor and everything was fine...

Put a new chain on my saw but wondering what grind I should use. Seems kind of dull even though I never hit anything. :rofl: :lol:

Don't think you'll have to worry about burning under the stove!

For the last minute gift idea. LOL Seriously though, I'm guessing 200 - 300 grand for everything.

See what you guys think: I made a comment about the tonnage claim but why on earth do these companies mount the valve like that? Not normally a safety nazi but that looks like a REAL bad idea. I guess they don't think things vibrate and get flexed from back and forth pulling. They need to go...

A buddy of mine alerted me to this and told me I had to watch 2 of this guys videos. I did and was in shock. He's basically made every mistake you could possibly do with an OWB. You won't believe how many strikes he put against himself. At 14:00 at 3:14 150 ft of UNINSULATED pipe to the...

Thought maybe some of you might want to try this. With the quality of logging boots going down I've had a lot of delaming of the soles. Even with Vibram whose quality has gone in the tank anymore. The vulcanizing splits and then you are relying on the threads to hold till they rot or break...

Decided it was time to take down this tree at our cabin in the woods. We'd had a tire swing in it for years and it's health has been dropping off every year. Typical beech as it lost it's top and has center rot. Dad had cleaned up the latest limb fall and decided it was time to take the whole...

Decided it was time to take this tree down. It's an ash that has been standing dead for 4 years now. Right next to the road and telephone line with the power line on the other side. You can see them if you look close. Has a heavy lean over the road as well. This is where I want to put it and...

This hasn't been publicized too much but wanted to let everyone know. Kidde has a major recall on most all of their fire extinguishers. Ones effected were made between 1973 to 2017. The ones with the plastic handles. You can go to their website and plug in your numbers as you don't need a...

I've had my OWB online now for 15 years and have had a problem creep up on me. I have too much heat. LOL It started this year the opposite when I noticed on extreme cold days it wasn't heating as good as it used to. I attributed it a pump cartridge that had gone out years ago and the impeller...

This is a thread about our family cabin. It was out by the road, behind the newer home and was in pretty bad disrepair when Dad got ownership from his Father. The cabin was the original house and when they decided they wanted a newer, bigger home, they just built in front of it. They left the...

This is an old piece that has been handed down through our family for a long time. What may first look like an early hatchet is not. Short throw and it is 15 1/2 inches from end of handle to where it comes through. Cutting edge is 6 inches. This is the oldest one I have. It is a specialty...

A family friend gave me this jack and decided to use it to make a log lifter for the stove. Normally not a big deal as if I can pick it up, I'll burn it. This year I'm going to have shoulder surgery and be one armed through most of the heating season so I needed to come up with something before...

I have a stainless 5648 Central Boiler I put in 13 years ago. It is still working great but I know there will come a day when I'll have to switch. Yes, it does smoke and probably uses more than it should. I average 13 cord a year and heat a 36' x 50' 2 story farm house with full basement with a...
