    How to split large 4' - 6- rounds??

    Alternative to a stump?

    That makes a lot of sense. I tried an old splitting axe the other day, just for giggles & was shocked at how well it worked. This isn't some...

    Moving the heat!

    Glad to hear its working for you. I sometimes use the air handler ( a/c blower) to do the same thing. This week's project is adding a steam...

    Cleaning a tall chimney

    Cleaning a tall chimney

    How do I clean a chimney that projects 8' above a pitched roof? The sweep wants about $270 to clean it, top down. They say the Lopi inserts can't...

    Chainsaw Porn

    I'll ask the dumb question. Do you put a smaller bar on the 510 then, since you have another saw for the big stuff?

    Score! 4 Loads of Ash. Is mulberry and sumac good to burn?
