Blokes! Gather 'round the camp fire and pull a cold beer from the cooler. I've a story to tell.
As I foreshadowed earlier, I had felled two trees (a red oak and a quaking aspen) which I intended to cut, split, and stack for use in future winters at the hearth in my home. The project is complete!
To begin, these trees were in the woods near my house and posed a slight risk of falling on the house. So, to ensure the safety of my family, they had to be cut down.
Once they were down, I used my chainsaw to separate the usable wood from the brush. I then hauled the brush to a pile a ways back in the woods (well behind the fence) and cut the logs into 1-foot long sections for splitting.
Here's a picture taken from a this stage (my chainsaw is featured). The tree, as you might tell is the red oak (notice the lovely reddish grain to the wood, which is how the species gets its colorful name:

Once I cut all the sections, I moved them with a wheelbarrow to the wood stack and my splittin' log, seen here:

From there, I used two tools to complete the task of splitting the logs:

And this tool ("steel" after a fashion, I think):

I worked on splitting and stacking the wood off and on for the last several days. In the end, the result turned out to be this:

A stout, little stack that's roughly 12' long, by 4'6'' high.
:thumbs_up Nice job Comedian. You deserve a good few beers after that. :)
Sorry, but you've completely lost me now. Are you being held captive?Quote:

:lol:
Atheist, away with your tree huggery. Great job comedian.
Our house is heated by a wood stove too, so I know the satisfaction of a well stocked woodpile built by the strengh of one's arm, and the sweat of one's brow.
Comedian, I thought that fence was unsurpassable, but you have risen to new heights of creativity. You are a man's man and I am enjoying that cold beer, warm in the knowledge that the female race do not come close in ordering the natural world. One teeny, weeny criticism, ditch the trainers. :)
How to spoil the wifes meticulously planned female only party, A: refuse to vacate the living room. B: Keep your feet firmly planted on the coffee table, shoes on or off optional. C: Refuse to turn the telly down D: Offer your opinion sporadically and vociferously while graciously sharing your cheapest bottle of Buckfast. This is guaranteed to work, I have still got the scars to prove it. :)
Last for tonight I promise. I joined Literature Network Forum to enjoy the thrill of contributing to the cut and thrust of literary criticiscm. Unfortunately, I found the Cold Ale thread and realised instantly I was at home. Athiest, you have a lot to answer for! :)
Cold Ale? I might be a woman, but I'm one of the boys! Count me in for a cold pint of Guinness, or a stout whiskey xD.
*breaking into the blokes' thread*
I dont do this usually but...
Wow Comedian! Your work has impressed me! I have never know someone who has done that until now :thumbs_up
now, i better leave before someone kick me out :D
Howdy Gents,
The AtheistSome trees are meant to be hugged, and some are meant to but, torn asunder, stacked and burned. :lol:Quote:

jocky --Thanks. *tosses jocky another beer from the cooler* Unfortunately, I might be out of summer projects to boast about here.Quote:

prendrelemick --Well said. I love both the activity of cutting and stacking wood and the satisfaction of the result. In fact, sometimes it's hard for me to convince my wife that when I'm out splitting wood I'm "working". She knows I'm just having fun! :)Quote:

Jocky, I'm ok, but doing "Manly Pursuits" in 30 degrees of humid heat, is a bit wilting.
Just after this picture was taken, we retired to the fridge and cracked a couple of cold ones.
