Cutting each piece in half with my little hand saw seems hardly possible, but I guess I'll manage it somehow. Next year, I need to be much more specific about the SIZE of the wood. sighMamaLibertyhttp://www.thepriceofliberty.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632928765983902491.post-46943469175663730032011-11-30T08:10:59.271-07:002011-11-30T08:10:59.271-07:00I'm having a little wood anxiety myself this y...I'm having a little wood anxiety myself this year. Only localized global warming this fall makes me think I +might+ have enough split for the entire season. My backup is standing dead burr oak about 25 yards from my door, but I don't looking forward to processing it during a February blizzard. <br /><br />What the Hell. The big propane tank is almost full, and it's only money, eh?<br /><br />I know you're a chain-saw pro, so I'm a little reluctant here. but I do most of my own sharpening with a 12-volt Dreml-like tool. I have the chains sharpened by a shop, then resharpen them myself until my freehanding adds up to angles too far from factory specs. That's usually two-to-four times. Then they go back to the pro.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00034752526895428019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632928765983902491.post-13418168145514232202011-11-29T20:12:52.507-07:002011-11-29T20:12:52.507-07:00Joel,

I'm beginning to think I'm running a little late with things that are going on in the world, but I guess I could just sit around with my head up my butt like 95% of the rest of the people in the country and think all is good but I feel that I need something of my own. I will never own my house I'm in now. If you were in my area I could sharpen your chains on your saw by hand. I learned to do that working in the woods. You need to find a retired timber faller and have him teach you how to do that. It is a good skill to learn and not to hard once you get the hang of it.<br /> Take careAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632928765983902491.post-22554413142229017912011-11-29T16:04:15.255-07:002011-11-29T16:04:15.255-07:00Take it from the voice of experience.
Cutting win...Take it from the voice of experience.<br /><br />Cutting winter heat wood when you need it is a much different experience than cutting it before you need it.<br /><br />It's a lot harder to shovel off a woodpile than a driveway...<br />QQuiziklenoreply@blogger.com
