Hey Steve, what bar and chain are you going to run on that saw?

I think it's 3/8 low pro. Bar says 16 on it. I know it's 55 drivers, Cobey made it for me. Got the bar from Jim.
Seals shipped out today, says I should have them by Saturday.
On another note, anybody feel like cutting some wood? I was out test driving the Explorer yesterday and found a place that they are cutting a BUNCH of trees down. 3 blocks from my house. Stopped this evening and talked to the guy in charge, says cut all you want. The bad part is, they have started burning the excess. And they have a machine to burn it with.
I know it's late notice, but any help is appreciated. This Saturday. I'm off call this week and may take a couple of vacation days to cut on this. Working on logistics with Ed.
Thanks guys and gals.

Was delivering a full trailer load of wood (1 cord) a few weeks ago and noticed a piece fall off and bouncing in the oncoming lane. It would have went through a windshield no problem. I lost a couple more pieces on another delivery. Hinerman Fabrication was born. Watch out Mike and Alex, I am coming after you, LOL:

Hedge tree... A rather large one..

And yes, I'd be willing to bet there's wire in it somewhere!!

I will save you from having to split it and will drop my trailer off and you can fill it up.

I was splitting today. I thought I was going to be splitting some elm. Went to split it and the bark just fell off (tons of little worms); the grain was a lot darker than I was expecting. I think it might be walnut but don't remember cutting any walnut and can't remember exactly where the wood came from. What is it? It smelled like elm IMO. The middle piece is hackberry for comparison:

It split relatively easy. Was using the 4-way with no problem.

I thought it was elm but don't ever remember splitting any that dark. Maybe I just split the white elm before. I don't remember it being that dark when I cut it either.

After looking at the picture closer I think it could be walnut

Morning Kenneth!
Morning midlanders.

After yesterday morning's 'event' I think I slept twenty of the past 24 hours. Still feel weak. Replacing lost body fluids with coffee.

Forced air gas heat is wonderful. House was down to 58 degrees by the time the furnace was fixed.
