So I had to go to my wife's work Christmas party. I really would rather stick a fork in my eye than go, but, well...you know, some things we have to do. At least I started drinking early, and thoroughly. Anyway, the house we were at had 3 stoves, one a coal burner, the other an unknown wood burner & a neat Jotul top loader. It was in the 20's so they had them all fired up in this old farmhouse. It was a little warm inside but on the plus there were enough rooms that I could evade conversation with some of the numbnuts.
I happen to glance outside at the woodpile on the porch.....hmmm, verrry neatly stacked....that's a-boot a cord sitting there....hmmm, the splits are rather uniform in size and shape....hmm..WAITAMINUTE! Say it ain't so.....the guy had used his chainsaw to split EVERY chunk! I grab the guy and had to pop the question. He say's, "well I don't have a wood splitter, but I have a big ole Echo, so I made this jig to hold the cants & I split 'em with the saw......it makes a lot of saw dust & throws it across the yard!"
>>>>>>wow<<<<<<<
it made the whole night worthwhile!
