Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

Yes sir, Gamo Bone Collector, I like it very much, shoots around 1250-1300 fps with the right pellets. It also has a very good trigger for a "pellet gun", pretty smooth.

Thanks, good to know, I need to get something like that now that we are in city limits.

Temps been HOT the past three days and two more to go. I must have been psychic about 15 years ago when I started this pile of black locust. Perfect placement to be in the shade until after 12 pm. Makes splitting wood bearable in the heat. Then even better:

I'm hauling it to stack along the fence to get good air circulation as it will be my winter supply, it also is in the shade but I have to chase the shade up the fence as the sun moves. Usually quit around 11 though

Today was a waste, had to go to town to sstraighten out and overdue bill - I wrote and mail the check a monthi ago but it never cleared, then came home, moved one load and then this:

That is the second wagon like that it happened to. I bought this one as it was advertised as "heavy duty, rated for 1400 lb load". Dunno what that engineer was smoking but I want a bunch of it! The wagon is now in the welding hospital.

One more day of heat and then I get back to cutting.

Been kinda hot here too, deffentantly nice to have some shade.

Splitting this weekend and it's supposed to be hot. I just picked up the canopy to park my splitter under.

Good idea. Now you can work in the rain as well. See if you can park the muffler outside the canopy - might help some with the heat. Ron

These are 'Noodles'! More photos of noodles, along with a discussion on chain type, in this thread:

If your bar is not long enough, you can also hold the bar at an angle, such as in this video (may have to watch it on YouTube):


Less chopping of the tough wood fibers/grain, and more cutting with the softer 'pith'(?).

Between showers I moved some more wood today.

Got this winter split aspen racked up.


Got this aspen into a pile as the grass was starting to devour the splits laying around.


The closest three rows were put up this weekend. 12, 16, and 28 feet long.
