That is the truth. Be smart and buy a splitter. Your body will greatly approve of that purchase.
Cause I like the horse and cowboy on it. I put it on with rare earth magnets at shows .
Welcome!
Morning everybody
Question for you guys. Earlier this summer, my office building flooded. Everything is dried out and we’re in the process of redoing the basement. Going to paint the walls with concrete paint. Wanted to do something on “ceiling” which is basically the bottom of the main level wood floor/joists that would contrast the white walls of the concrete. Was thinking maybe just some sort of dark stain? I know if we went with a light color of paint it would take a lot of coats to get things uniform and I don’t want to spend that much time or money.

They are all around. The only positive to them is that I always know which way the wind is blowing and how fast it is moving.

I've cut up more than one tree that really should have been lumber, but had I not cut it up for firewood it would've returned to the dirt more than likely
Snagged another 254xp at the weekend (number five - I have one other runner and three projects). It was for sale locally, nine miles away. It's a little rough cosmetically, but runs great.
Tested it today by cutting down a small Mountain Ash (Rowan), a small Lilac and an old climbing frame made from 6x6 timber.

Someone else had posted a railroad video earlier, here's when a Yellowbonnet GP50 lead a Galesburg, IL/Twin Cities, MN road freight last year. Having been in middle school during the BNSF merger back in 1995/1996 it was nice to see this old workhorse out front.

So the question that comes to mind is: is it right hand drive? I know you folks over across the pond drive on the wrong side of the road and all.
Ooo, look who is in my yard at camp
Where is camp??? You don't have Moose in NC, do you???
Good luck with your "new to you" saw.
I have never seen a 15" bar before! I think all the ones on this side of the pond are even # sizes (12,14,16,18,20) until you get to 25, which is really just a re-named 24. IMO, the only reason they re-named the 24" a 25" is so you would not notice that a 28" is really just a 27"!!!
Not down here. Nulhegan Basin NEK, VT. When I sold my house north of there I lived in my hunting camp a few years. Moose in the yard, fish in the pond. No power, running water and an outhouse. Firewood within walking distance. Epic.

Yes, bent the axle, pulling the trailer over rough ground in the timber. Lots of pocks from blown down trees over the centuries. Tire was down in one of the holes.
Oh! I know all about that toll on the body. I messed up both wrists in jr high/high school by splitting. (long time ago). I had to wear wrist wraps or braces for 25+ years. The shock of a strike into a bole that did not split is hard on the wrists. THat is why I only do a little bit per day. Not my first rodeo. I'm old.

Nice! I still prefer the old warbonnet redheads. The blue/yellow looks much better than the warren buffet age BMSF orange. The warbonnets were classy. I grew up within earshot of ATSF mainline, and only 20 miles from Burlington, and the CB&Q mainline. We had Santa Fe shops. Burlington had bigger CB&Q shops.
Getting it done with “the wrong tool.”

Anyone know if a file holder like this is available anywhere? This is probably 60 yrs old. It says "Made in Italy" and "For 7/32 file". (for the old Mac) I like it because you can see the tooth, and you can see the file working, but still beats freehand. I don't like the current Stihl ones that hide the chain (tooth) while you file.
The dealer who sold this to my dad was a homelite dealer at the time. (Blue, but about the time they turned red). I don't know if it was distributed by Homelite before Textron, or if he found them somewhere else. TIA
