So happy to see you back! Your vids are informative and educational. Also, you have a “way” of speaking that sets people at ease. Your disposition gives people confidence.
The easiest way to start a wood stove I've found is using 3 normal size split pieces of wood and a few pieces of heavy corrugated cardboard. All it takes is to put two of the wood pieces parallel leaving about a 2" gap between them. Then fill the gap with a few pieces of cardboard. Finally, lay the 3rd wood piece digaonal across the top and light the cardboard. Leave the air inlet and flu damper all the way open until the fire is roaring which only takes a couple minutes if using soft wood like pine. This method works best with soft wood, so I start my fire this way with pine and then switch to the hard woods or coal after. Also, this doesn't work so well with logs. The split face of the wood is what ignites easiest, so I make sure the split side of all 3 pieces of wood is facing the gap with the carboard inside, including the top diagonal piece of wood.
Happy New Years bro! Shops looking great! Hoping we can hit the trails this summer,my trail expansion is almost completed just waiting on freeze up so we can get the log bridge in over the marsh.
that is not fun work cleaning after critters ,, I just got done putting tin up for a ceiling in my shop used a drywall lift too hold the tin while I screwed it up .. the shop had plastic up form the guy who built the pole barn 20 years ago ,, full of bird droppings and lot's of grass and hay from birds trying too build .. was grinding last winter and melted about a 4 ft x 4 ft area of plastic from the grinding sparks .. cleaned up all the old .. put up 2x4's every 2 ft oc new plastic then the tin ,, now need too save 2 grand for insulation for the ceiling .. heat with a wood stove so not too bad now .. glad your shop is back up ... love the garage door .. my shop has sliding doors ugh pain in the back side .. nice parts washer .. might have too try that the legs on mine are getting bad ,,
Great seeing you again. Shop looks well organized for all your new projects. To bad you weren’t closer, I’d send you a couple mst’s. I don’t use them. I run the 700’s in my race mowers. Looking forward to seeing some new content. Happy New Year Doc. Stay safe
If someone didn't have a shift key stopper spacer, couldn't you just use the other 2nd gear and just grind all the teeth off one of the second gears that are now in the 6th gear spot? This would make 6th gear neutral.
Yes, that could be done. You would have to put up with the possibility of accidentally selecting that neutral when reaching for a high gear, but it would work.
@@DocSprocket One could always bolt a plate on the fender to stop the shift lever from going into 6th/ neutral, but your way is far more ideal. I just like to try and think of different ways to do things in case of being in a pinch and not having the right parts.
