Looks a little big to have been mined, but I’m no miner.

...and you feel, how shall I say it, enriched. Beautiful tub you have there, Rich. I was in Long Island Sound a couple weeks ago, I think it was 50* but realized that dunking in live bodies of water like that always feels significantly colder due to the water movement vs a Tub where there is...

I was wondering about it. Most quartz is smashed to bits. I wonder if naturally or from prospectors.

Any gold in the quartz?

More air. Let the coals roll for a good forty minutes before adding logage.

$500-600 per 100' of Stihl, locally.

If Huberman is right, doing what you don't want to do grows your anterior midcingulate (sp?) cortex which helps you do things you don't want to do.

12" is needed on 40' softwood logs, allowing the trim to be for cutting end checks and multiple bucks. 41' makes five 8'ers, so 6 bucks minimum.

Roughly clean out clinkers.

I handle it like Rich does, though burning somewhat less dense fuels like we have here in my part of Oregon (Doug fir, BL maple, red alder) that issue doesn't really come up often. A deep bed of hot coals generates plenty of heat output from my stove, generally.

These days, 6" of trim is typical. Some people used to try to get down to 3-4" with hardwood. Many of my timbers land on even feet. I want that trim to move my joinery around to avoid knots.

In logging here in the PNW, and I always assumed it was the same everywhere, the sawyers/buckers are required to buck to specific lengths the mills require, PLUS an added 6 or 8 or even 12 inches to allow for any uneven felling or bucking cuts. A log that is supposed to be 32 feet would have to...

Does the 45127 have the jib? I see on the chart doesn't favor using it at a 100' radius, but negative rigging to pick with the crane is also powerfully slow.

...almost two years now. Lately I’ve been slacking a lot which I’m not proud of. You would think that’s it’s not a big deal to get into that water (43*F today) after doing it for so long. I haven’t been in there for 4 days and I’m terrified. I’ve been in my garage putting it off for hours. I...

X Cut is worth it, in my experience, at half the price of Stihl chain when I priced compared locally when I bought a case of 72DL. It stretches far more than Stihl chain, but my groundie handles the normal saw maintenance so it's not as big of a deal for me. I'll check Stihl pricing next...

Absolutely. I like the length of boom. He has three 38 tons with the same length but capacity goes way down. The 40 ton grove actually has higher capacity at around 70’ radius because there is one less boom section to account for. I would be happy with this crane being the one I use. Rick is my...

Open it up a bit and let the coals burn down is what I found to work

Close damper to keep in more heat from coals or open to let them burn up?
