Try to find a dealer that will demonstrate an induction stove. That's what convinced my wife. Nothing heats quicker or with more precision than an induction stove.

We went through the same thinking process not too long ago. We had an electric stove and wanted to switch to gas. We have a gas hot water heater in the front of the house, but to run a gas line to...

I have a Fiskars splitting axe, and it is really good - I use it daily to cut kindling pieces and to split logs that are still too big for the stove. I'm done splitting and stacking for now. I...

I'm impressed at the technology they had in 1948. I wonder how the worker's health fared as they aged. The narrator talks about putting lead in gas, lead in paint...

Rules are good, but club members cannot make them up as they go along. There's no rule at my club that says you can't shoot a 9mm at 200 yds. The rule is that your shot must hit the berm - I was...

I belonged to a club in the 80s that had a skeet field that faced towards a river. We had to keep a spotter near the river with a walkie talkie, and when he saw canoeists coming, he'd call and we'd...

It was mostly maple, but I tried it on some oak (I don't burn any softwood). It worked fine. Out of the half cord that I split, there's three pieces that are way too big for the splitter.

I regretted buying the HF splitter, but, like I said, I decided to give it another try. I split all the wood I had in less than an hour, and I didn't beat myself up like the maul would have done. I...

Koger, thanks for the offer. If we go, it'll be in the fall. I'll have to translate when my wife talks with that Boston accent. It stands out even around here.
We're flying into Las Vegas in a...

The power company took down a large maple tree next to my house in Nov. 2022. I said to leave the wood. We started cutting it up, then I had a pesky heart attack in Dec 2022. A few months later I...

They were holding an unannounced, unposted practice for an upcoming shoot. They should have waited for me to shoot, not the other way around. Even the club president was unaware of their practice...

When I first started heating with wood (1984) I used to buy logs cut into 4 foot lengths, then I'd cut them and split them. I was using a Sears electric chainsaw to cut, which was really a joke, and...

I gave it another try and I gotta say, it's not bad once you figure out its quirks. First off, I put it on a yard cart/wagon to raise it up which makes it much easier to use. It split some pretty...

Well, it works and does what they say it should, and won't do the things they say it won't, like cut unround, larger pieces. If I stick to splitting round logs under 10' in diameter, it's great,...

I went out to split some more, took a few whacks with the maul, then said out loud, "Screw this." So much for the Big Boy pants. There's more wood than I thought, the logs are bigger than I...

I'd rent one but neither of my vehicles has a trailer hitch.
I split quite a bit yesterday and paid for it last night. Splitting wood is like shoveling - there's no exercise that can prepare you...

I just bought 100 pcs of 32-20 for my WSL .32. I use a WSL 32 die and a 32-20 die on the 32-20 brass.

I've been splitting with a maul and an axe, and it is good therapy, and good exercise. I don't have alot to do - maybe a few days with the maul, but, the older I get, the more I like toys and power...

I've been heating with wood for 40 years. Delivered cut and split, and I do the stacking. I just finished stacking 6 cords. But, I came into some free maple wood from a huge cut-down tree. I cut...

One campground we stayed at last summer had a "bear proof" cooler on display that a bear had attacked. It was destroyed. One night, around 3AM, 4 or 5 car alarms went off in the campground. Well,...
