    Neighbors that borrow stuff.

    Too many times kindness is taken as weakness, and people try to exploit it. The more I am around people, the more I enjoy my dogs.

    What sharpening my chains and axes has done to me...

    I too hate cutting grass! I have taken to stacking firewood on the areas I used to have to mow. I had to get a new push mower last year, the 14 year old mower I had bit the dust. When asked by people at work what I bought, I tell them a red one. It was on sale, really don't know what it is. I...

    Are you still burning

    Yup. Small fire at night to keep the house around 65 until morning. Wood is free, natural gas not so much!

    Drying Honey Locust...

    I took one out last year for a guy in town. I will let you know next year. I am on a 2 year rotation with my wood. Its nice to have enough wood to let it age for 2 years before burning. I am liking my Oak a lot more by letting it sit this long. I thought it was good at 12 months, but I now know...

    Dolmar project saw

    Buddy just bought a Dolmar 143 from an Amish repair shop here in Indiana. He asked me to see if I can find him some parts. He is looking for a piston and cylinder set, and a muffler. He squeaks when he walks, He paid $10.00 for the saw, just needs rebuilt. He was trying to find a deal on parts...

    How Big is Too Big

    You sure that is Red Oak? From looking at your limb wood it looks like White Oak to me. White Oak tops Red Oak for burning btu's. I just got a 40" white Oak from the neighbor. My avatar has a pin oak in it. That is a 36" bar on my saw. If I remember right, that was a 51" round.

    How Big is Too Big

    I love Oak, yes it is worth it. I started cutting with an 029 super. Then I figured since I planned on burning wood I needed a saw! My next saw was an 066, then added a 192t. I run a 28" bar on the 66, a 16" on the 029 and life has been good ever since. I have not run into anything in Indiana...

    New (to me) Wood Stove

    The only time the fiber board is pliable is when it comes out of the slurry tank. It then goes into a Lanly oven for 16 hours to cure. Gets sanded to thickness and sent out. We make it at work in our fabricated products department. Depending on what ceramic fiber they use in the slurry, the heat...

    My problem is I hate splitting. I love the saw work but splitting is mind numbing to me. I have 2 shag barks, 2 red oaks, and a large white oak down and cut, just waiting for the splitting elves to show up and do it for me! Thats the problem that comes with enough wood already split and aged...

    Another poison ivy thread

    So far, P.I. has never bothered me(49 y.o.) but, Poison Oak is a differant mistress! I agree with a steroid pack! Don't suffer any longer than needed.

    I have 10 full cords of 2 year old Oak, Hickory,Cherry, and Honey locust. Need to fill the winter shed, it holds 3 cords. I average 3.5 cord a year. I have approx. 5 cord that need split and stacked. I need to get on it, I am out of space to put new rounds until I get it done. The neighbor took...

    bar length. your opions pls.

    I like a 28" bar on my 066, I have a 16" bar 3/8 chain for my 029 super and a 14" bar on the 192t. I have found this covers everything I cut here in Indiana for firewood. That is my 28" bar in my avatar with a piece of pin oak I cut last year.

    Ugh. It's "that" day for me.

    I have natural gas, we use it for water, dryer and stove. My monthly bill runs around $20.00 to $50.00. We only turn the furnace on to take out the chill when the temp drops below 10 degrees or so. The nice thing about propane, is when you write the check, you own it. Natural gas you are subject...

    A gift from Sandy

    If you had to study them for an hour, hire it out. When I look at a tree, I usually know right away if it is in my skill level. No shame in defering to a pro.
