Todays Project - What did you do today?

[oldgoaly]

Greg that is a a lot of wood! we have between 4-8 chords cut and split. Limbs are blowing out of the trees directly on the stack. We have never been good at stacking, depending on how many pallets and plastic we have down we tend to toss the little ones on top, We have a fireplace and a small wood stove in the basement, one of these days we will get a real wood stove there. we have a bunch unsplit, we have a tree service that drops off wood and chips for free. Plus living on a farm we have lots of trees! a few dead ones that need taking down. Just a pic of part of the woodpile

Free wood is always good. I buy a tog truck load, much easier than cutting that many trees. I burn about 20 cord in a boiler to heat the house and shop. Speeking of free wood thats todays project, someone wants a bunch of cedar hauled away, should be good for shingles and some trim on the building.

He means about 7 cord.

From Wikepedia

"The cord is a unit of measure of dry volume used in Canada and the United States to measure firewood and pulpwood. A cord is the amount of wood that, when "ranked and well stowed" (arranged so pieces are aligned, parallel, touching and compact), occupies a volume of 128 cubic feet (3.62 m3).[1] This corresponds to a well stacked woodpile 4 feet (122 cm) high, 8 feet (244 cm) long, and 4 feet (122 cm) deep; or any other arrangement of linear measurements that yields the same volume."

In this heat it felt more like 20 cord than 7 of yours.
Todays project, a friend was cleaning up a lot for someone, wondered if i wanted the cedar logs, OF COARSE. Some are small but a nice haul when all I had to do was load them.

Nice haul Greg, there'll be a few shingles there.

Yes, I watched the video, numerous times in fact. Here's the result of my studious efforts.

Oooooohhh...... shiny!

Nice job Ed. That ought to do the job.

BTW Willie, it looks like I missed one of your questions a while back. That tapered "D" reamer had to have a square end, so I left the reamer square to the center line with a few degrees of clearance then relieved the the back side a few degrees just to get it out of the way, sort of like the end of a gun drill.
