pudidotdk Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'm kinda unsure what I wish,my only wish this Christmas is an arbor press.Any ideas for a wish ? Also to day I got out of the house and sawed of a stump of willow. I have debarked (weighs 7 kg), but I wonder how on earth do you split it to small sticks like this ?? : http://fogoforum.us/img/charcoal/charcoal007.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarezWally Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Grab a axe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudidotdk Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Isn't it hard with an axe to get it that precise? Normally with an axe I only split to firewood, but smaller than that...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarezWally Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Do you have a hatchet? Its not that hard to get small 'kindling' sized pieces with a large axe just hold it closer to the head and use it to split smaller pieces. Its even easier with a hatchet.

TheSidewinder Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 It has to be well-dried, or splitting it will be tough. You said it was a stump. Was it completely dried? I suspect not if it was outside and exposed to the elements.... M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskarchem Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I use a hydraulic wood cutting device, it cuts a 20 inch log in half with no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudidotdk Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I have split up in firewood-size and it is drying next to a room-dehydrator-thingie. Thanks for the tips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonny Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I use a hydraulic wood cutting device, it cuts a 20 inch log in half with no problem Um a log splitter?? I cut my wood to length then use a hatchet or small axe to split to small size. You can tap the pc of wood so the hatchet blade just sticks in and then hit it on a block to split...keeps the fingers away when cutting small pcs.

DeAdFX Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Fuck yeah woohoo I made an order for some pottery grade chemicals... I am so excited!!! Time to see what kinda red lithium can produce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asilentbob Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Haha im with you DeadFX! I have an order that ill be submitting to a major ceramic supplier in Seattle pretty soon. I actually won 2 auctions on ebay with ceramic chems this morning too.. Got me some red lead, granular manganese, and 12oz of pink cobalt sulfate to name the major happy making chems. Also have like 2 other orders i want to submit to places and all sorts of OTC shopping at the brew supply, hardware stores, etc. I love xmas. Nice haul pudi! Edit: Also i got 95/100 questions correct on the chemistryI college final i took today. 5 out of 100 questions isn't bad. Probably top or second to it in the class. Still bothered me that i didn't know some things. Anti-bonding orbitals threw me, that was probably 2 or 3 of the 5 missed. I have a 2 chapter governemnt test tomorrow that ill probably do ok on if i start studying now. Also have a biology quiz or something. I seem to do pretty good on those without studying simply because alot of what i have learned chemistry wise in the past 5 years or so applies to biology significantly too. After all chemistry really is the central science, everything else seems to branch out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying fish Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Yeah... umm... english is not my first language... But you get the picture no?Lol, english is my first langauge and I've still never heard of a log splitter. Then again, I don't do much log splitting either (for me an axe seems to be sufficient for gathering charcoal wood). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
