You didn’t get caught trying to bore cut the pole did you?We had lightning strike a power pole the other night and knock the power out for about an hour. Not much wind but it sure put on a light show.

I have some white oak right now the fiskars just bounces off of. It's going to the hydro.You just want an excuse to swing the Fiskars.
I would split most of that stuff 2 more times.
Yes, I realise my wood is a fair bit bigger than that of most blokes .
We put a bigger heater in our 'new' house compared to the one in the old house and the size of the wood I use grew proportionally. Bigger wood (less surface area for the same volume) means slower burn and heat production but it's not hard to get the baffle plate in the heater glowing with the big wood and the flue doesn't clog with creosote and doesn't smoke except at start-up. So I figure that the bigger wood is fine in my particular circumstances and if I split it smaller then that's many more pieces I need to pick up and stack (that's prolly the main factor). Most of the wood in the shed would have been split to half the size back at the old place.
When I was researching heaters for our new place I read some stuff that said 10-15cm (4-6 inch) wide firewood was the most efficient for heating but who really knows?
Scrounged up half a Tucson full of zogger wood in 3-4 foot lengths. The power line tree trimmers went through the area around work earlier this summer and left quite a few pieces over 3" dia. Mostly Locust with a piece or 2 of Mulberry. The Poulan 2000 made quick work of it once I got it tuned.
Walmart. Canal Winchester, Ohio. Isocore on sale for $35!!!!
X27/super split/splitting axe on sale for $30!!!!!
I heard on the radio that Walmart was doing an "Ohio sale" and the walmarts here have big signs on the outside of the buulding that say something like "big changes comming"
If you just wanted to sit by a fire and eat you could have saved money by going to Cracker Barrel.View attachment 678215 Reckon this birch is too wet to burn? Little grove by a waterfall, all the trees are mossy View attachment 678216 Pub we ate in had an actual open fireplace. Naturally we sat right next to it. Cold wind off the Atlantic made it welcome.

Same thing that would happen if you put 440 Magnum emblems on a Yugo!What would happen if I put a magnum sticker on my 395? Would it plunge cut faster?
Guy walks into an auto parts store and says to the clerk, “I want a gas cap for my Yugo.” Clerk scratches his head and says, “Sounds like a fair trade, have the keys?”Same thing that would happen if you put 440 Magnum emblems on a Yugo!
That looks cool. Never seen birches grow moss like that.View attachment 678215 Reckon this birch is too wet to burn?

If you’re really brave you substitute Stihl for Yugo.Guy walks into an auto parts store and says to the clerk, “I want a gas cap for my Yugo.” Clerk scratches his head and says, “Sounds like a fair trade, have the keys?”
Did you know they came out with a family car, the Wego .Guy walks into an auto parts store and says to the clerk, “I want a gas cap for my Yugo.” Clerk scratches his head and says, “Sounds like a fair trade, have the keys?”
Then the clerk would say,"you have problems with this flippys too".If you’re really brave you substitute Stihl for Yugo.
The rope worked very well as a piston stop. I was worried when I needed to turn to an impact driver as I thought any sponginess would absorb the impact, but it's very stiff rope. It's climbing accessory cord, very high strength static load, but no stretch like dynamic climbing rope, so no sponginess. Locked the cylinder solid. With my iffy helicoiled spark plug port I wasnt using a screw in stop, that may be how the thread got mangled initially.
We are back to low 30s Celsius. May get 34C tomorrow.
Portugal hit 47C and a 37 year high. Long range forecast is above average temps for 3 more months! Wood stacks are drying.... It's the building of the stacks that is hard.
