Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[freeasaburt]

The latest scrounge... Folks I know cut down a dead birch, and asked if I wanted the wood.
Bit of beginning rot but nothing to worry about imo. Easy to keep the wood pile replenished, this way .
Gonna split and stack it next week, will provide some nice heat in a year or two!

A little side-step from the varmint & excavation talk:
I have a pretty old offset-head hatchet that's been my go-to for debarking my firewood. It probably had a crack in the head when I bought it but I've just noticed it more recently. I feel like this is so old that trying to weld it back together will be a fool's errand.
I'd appreciate your thoughts

I'd grind it out and weld it, have done similar to axes and hatchets over the years.

They said the gun was a 3d printer job.

even if it was it wouldn't have been very accurate or lasted very long. There are quite a few short comings in 3d printing parts that see excessive heat and pressure. One of the many reasons I haven't bothered to attempt it myself.

His pistol was for a short term life.

I was thinking of you guys when I came in for a lunch break yesterday from the barn.
Had a few deer come thru while I was out there, right between the barn and the house lol.

Ceiling is finally done out there too.
