Pine as firewood...yes or no?
trigger_andy replied to Ontario Firewood Resource's topic in Firewood forum
I burn softwood and hardwood almost equally. More softwood in the Range in the Kitchen and Hard in the living room. -
Got a framing square and inherited my Grandfathers tool chest he built as an apprentice Shipwright and it has a nice selection of chisels up to 2" and Ive bought my own as well. I am missing a slick though and will be buying one soon. Ive a couple of Timber Framing books Ive studied and the usual youtube video watching so really looking forward to making a start. Ive went with 1" Pegs for 8" framing as its the size in the books Ive got seemed to be the size recommended on a few US based forums as well. But I can see how 3/4" would be adequate. Ive got the tools and dowels for 1" now so will go with that, but will need the 3/4" anyway for the 6" Bracing.

Gold. When I was 18 or 21 (cant remember now) I was given a small figure from my Grandfather. It was the accumulation of the original £500 he put into an account when I was born in 1979. Had he bought gold it would have been worth £5000 now which is significantly more than what I did (gratefully) receive. Its what I put aside for the kids. Not much but some Gold Doubloons is far more pleasurable to look at and hold than a bank statement.

Apart from the Op wanting more clicks on his youtube channel Ive been burning a bit of Scots Pine lately. Some 100 years plus tree's. Burns very well in the kitchen stove. -
I guess that could be it? Three separate times though. The others never seemed fussed by the taste, saying that not many wanted it. Its always a laugh putting it out on social media that Ive had Whale for dinner and then sit back and watch the ill-informed Woke Brigade get their panties in a bunch. Id sooner have Whale again than Lutefisk though. Kumla for me any day.

Thats where I got mine from in 25mm as I'll be building (attempting) an 8" frame. I'll also need a 3/4" for the 6" Braces. Ive got the chain morticer and 16-5/8" Beam saw and a few of these 1" Podgers from the same website. I could spend a fortune on there. [emoji3] Almost got enough 6"x4" for the Braces and 8" Beams for the Frame so will make a start next time Im home. Any advice for a first time novice?

I’m getting ready to have my first practice in a few weeks time.

Do you like Whale? I’ve tried it three times now and just can’t get used to the taste. Hard to describe the flavour but I find it a horrific combo of beef and fish.!🤮

Make fast kindling with a slow splitter

My mate has a branch logger. I not a fan of using the thing as it seems quite dangerous but it can fairly rattle through the branches. Takes minutes to fill a 1.25m3 vented bag. He uses the stumpy littler things in his own stove and sells the regular logs to customers. The Branches also dry very quickly. Its a good way of dealing with what would otherwise have been left in the forest. -
What’s so good about Box wood? Not heard anything about it.

Hey Les, dont know what model it is but its over 6 years old that's for sure. Got 36" Low-Pro bar on it and regularly cuts Oak. It does the business, Id say as quick as a 660 if not quicker but obviously way slower than a bandsaw. He'll often hold over 1 ton logs on the Avant as the M7 bed just wont take it. To put it into perspective he'd rather have me mill his oak and I keep half and he's still way ahead of anything he can produce on the old fence post maker.

They are forgiven by a wide margin of people who are not perma-offended for other people though. I could not care less if he used that word. Is it any less insulting than the constant Scottish slagging by a few on here? Jocks, Sweaty Socks, tight fisted etc. I could not care less and I’m quite sure (from the horses mouth) that the naughty word you seem so offended about on others behalf don’t really care either.

He was a Scottish Botanist. I know I sound like a pendant but successful Scots always seem to be labelled British when it suits the English.

Gotta thank the father for the most successful (at the time) Drilling Bit for that. Howard Hughes, now Baker Hughes Texas Primer: The Hughes Drill Bit WWW.TEXASMONTHLY.COM This clunky piece of machinery made Howard Hughes very rich. It is the first in our series of things that every Texan...

Its amazing how light yet strong Sitka Spruce can get. Heavy as hell freshly milled but light as a feather one year later.

I ringing up "brown Oak" for the fire as we speak. Burning great. Standing dead for years.
-
Firewood. Sell itto me. I'll give ya £70 for it.

I do like a bit of Elm. Makes a difference from being swamped in Oak. Must be 1.3t in that lump.

My mates got the 3ph Logosol Saw on his M7.

Did you watch an episode of Ancient Aliens after?
