Re: Shop Tricks
I have to say that my electric powered log splitter is a favorite tool in my shop. I took me about an hour to split a 1/4 cord of firewood. This is one of the smaller units but I have split up to 16" diameter logs and I have not met a knot that it won't go through. Wet, dry or frozen, it splits it all. Highly recommended.
And no sore back, arms or shoulders the next day |

Re: Shop Tricks
When I was young and strong I heated my house for 21 years with handsplit hardwoods of the NE and SW. Splitting wood heats you twice. Once when you split it and again when you burn it.
Back east we would let the logs freeze and then the Elm would split easy enough. |

Spruce and popular are abundant. Birch in some areas of Alberta. From what I have seen, you can get an electric splitter up to about 10 ton. I'm thankful for our "fragile" wood Scotty - Yes, when you get to about 30 below, the wet wood splits pretty good! |

Re: Shop Tricks
The last couple weeks for OT at work ive been PMing the golf carts. Normally do 10-15 at a time. The best thing i have found to fill the batteries with is a 2gallon pump sprayer from HD. Just behind the nozzle(at the red line)take a razor blade and cut the tip off. Since doing this i have not spilled a single drop of water.

Re: Shop Tricks
Below is a video showing a bench mount for your crimping tool. It looks pretty handy.
