Mill 'em, nails be damned.

That's right, gotta take it easy with them, not torque
.Sweet saw, smooth as any saw I've ran, and the 441c is right behind it.
But it is a little heavier saw for it's cc range.
But how much did the 044 weigh, bet the 044 had just as much power to weight, besides the 576 beats it by how many cc's
. It makes perfect sense, they have no torque

I'll take it if the price is right James

That's for a gallon. Thought you might like the numberUmm , that might be Canadian gas prices
But ,,, we haul more wood with less wheels even if it was a B-train lol
I stopped at the grocery store on the way home , I ran into a fella that lives between my house and where I scrounge most of my wood and he also knows my day job .
We chatted a bit , he asked how the shop and the wood was doing . I told him that shop was busy in full tire season and that I was quite well stocked on softwood but no spare hardwood , he asked if I'd sell a cord of soft , I said sure , a hundred $ delivered in 8' length , he paid me right there on the spot and asked if I could drop it off within the next three weeks
I like scrounged wood
.Don't forget, those trains are usually
hauling hardwood
, that setup is most likely plated for 165k lbs.That's great, hope the sales keep up, makes it more fun when your

Dancan, you would love our firewood prices. Around here wood is only burnt for ambience (other than me, I am weird in actually burning enough that it's possibly my primary heat source!). Since it's only burnt for ambience most people don't burn much and it's usually bought by the m³ so just over a quarter of a cord. Hard wood would be about £100 for that, softwood about £75. What's that in CAN dollars per cord... About $600 for soft wood! I think you can maybe see why I bought the fiskars and the saws.

Your not wierd. We save between 7-800 dollars a year running the old Vermont casting stove and that number would probly be higher with a more modern stove.

A couple weeks ago I passed in front of some outfit which was selling firewood in 1.8m³ pallets for €150. It was what I usually call "junkwood", meaning softwood of no value, albeit I will gladly take it and burn it if free.
The retail price of wood has literally gone parabolic over the past decade despite commodity prices being pretty much comatose in absolute terms (meaning loggers get shafted through inflation alone, not counting everything else) and lower than they were in 2008. It's the same with natural gas: Gazprom sells NG to our energy companies for less than it was at the bottom of the financial crysis (again, in absolute terms) but year in, year out retail price goes up, as do the costs of owning an NG boiler (exactly the same maintenance as before, but paperwork has increased fivefold in a decade and paperwork is the most expensive commodity known to man).
Regardless, I think today I'll be out making a few faggots for the fireplace and try spot if there are Black locusts that can be felled. I tend to leave dead and dying trees standing (unless they are dangerous) for an extra year or so to give woodpeckers a place to feed and nest. I can often hear them but I've seen one only once since moving here: they are really shy little fellows.
I save polly 2k or more per year in oil by burning wood that I've scrounged up so I don't worry about buying the odd tool here and there to help me gather some wood
If I didn't have access to the lands that I have now or get the few resi lots that I cut I'd be trolling the commercial/industrial businesses with a pallet buster or cordless circ saw and scrounging wood that way .

So I got permission from the FIL to sell wood last night. Only stipulation is I keep enough wood for us to have plenty. This will help support my bad habits like saws and mods for the Grom.
Yeah and there are stories here of another gas price rise and a shortage as some pipeline has problems. I saved about £400 off my had bill (£250 lower but a warmer house that would have needed an extra £150) . I hope to beat that this year, aiming at £600 saving.

My furnace hasnt run since March.
Pulled a dum bass move this morning.
Was driving to Jacksonville and agreed to meet a fellow AS member near Tallahassee to drop a saw. Only problem was I'm on central time and they are in Eastern time. Told him where I was and that I was running about ten minutes early and he said it sounds like you are running an hour late. Oh crap!!! In the end everything worked out alright and I'll never make that mistake again!

A Cold War vintage NG pumping center blew up in Austria this week, causing all sort of mayhem in the NG supply across Europe, especially given the South Stream pipeline is running way behind schedule thanks to politics.
It's obviously as good an excuse as it gets to raise prices and don't lower them once the problem is solved. I am patiently waiting for news of the discovery of alien lifeforms: that is sure to drive prices even higher because... well... stuff!
Furnace, what's that lol.
Mine has only been turned on when we bought the house 7yrs ago. When we bought I knew I wanted nothing to do with the propane companies, so I bought the wood stove.
You guys may get a kick out of this, posted this in the good morning thread.
"Good morning everyone.
Kids say the darnedest things: yesterday I was telling my 8ys old that she needed to make sure that the door was closed better because the wood stove has a hard time catching up when it's real cold out(not that it was, but she needs the practice). I proceeded to tell her that at many peoples homes if the door is left open like that the furnace will not be able to catch up. This is where it gets funny, I said you probably don't know what a furnace is,and she replied "is it a wood stove"
.Hope everyone has a great weekend."
I like that my kids don't understand many things of this "modern" age.
Unless the EPA loosens it's grip, muff modding and timing advances will likely continue to add impressive performance to saws.
A 576 is strong and smooth, but way too heavy for it's size, which is why they never really caught on. The 572 should be the same or more power, but lighter, and the 462 lighter still.
Who ever hits the US market first will likely glom a lot of market share. The wait is beyond frustrating, but since I have an 044/046 hybrid, I'm not really too concerned.

I don't remember who said to find the Kinco Ice Breaker gloves but I found some of those and the lesser-insulated "warm grips". Good stuff. Thanks whoever told me about that.
Next question. I thought I read on here about screening out coals from ash and leaving the hot coals but dumping the powder. Was that this thread?
