You definitely make it loolk easy!.Do you ever have any prolems with your splitting wedges developing mushroomed ends after heavy use and do you do any repairs to them to stop any metal splinters from flying off?.
It's not a good idea to allow mushrooming to develop as there is the possibility that a fragment could fly off at speed, and cause an injury, when struck with the sledgehammer. When mushrooms appear, I get a grinder with a disc for cutting metal, and take off the excess. After that it is vitally important to use a file to grind down the sharp edges that develop, which could cause a nasty cut, if not removed. I hope that helps.
Believe it or not Roy, our first snow of the year, began to fall about three hours ago and is coming down steadily. If we get two inches here, everything nearly stops. Thanks for looking in. There's another one to follow shortly.
@@michaelkearney5562 I asked because I often struggle with deciding where to put the horizon in pictures but in all your thumbnails, and especially ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xiQ0m9HmVeI.html the scene is framed just right so it looks like a painting. The one I linked to is nice because it gets a lot of foreground detail of the road which makes the distant objects seem even farther. A couple channels that have a similar style are ru-vid.comfeatured and ru-vid.com/show-UCYzMdQa5aD6dnKHLdBxDMkw . If you decide to get into photography I'm subscribed if you post anything along those lines.
Dave, It's Sitka Spruce with branches, live and dead, all the way to the ground. Not as nasty as the one that you had to drop up-hill in one of your videos, and that you think is still probably there. You could say that firewood heats you up to ten times, such as when you are brashing (to quote yourself), felling (as you know all about), de-limbing (limbing is the wrong expression in my opinion), bucking, moving to the splitting area, splitting, moving to the shed to dry, stacking, moving to the house for use and, of course, burning it. There is a lot of work in firewood. Thanks for the comment and keep safe at your work.
