I like to build machines to make my firewood operation fun and easier. I built the skidding arch several years back. The blade is easily removed and my 3pt splitter locks onto the arch in it's mounting points. I built the ginpole on the splitter to pull logs out of the piles at the landings and the grapple to lift the heavy blocks. I built the elevator to eliminate dropping split wood back on the ground after splitting. I now just have to get the unsplit blocks on the splitter, and the elevator does the rest. I have acess to the big tandem trailer from the farm, and just finished a smaller hyd dump trailer of my own which will also fit into my walk-in celler where I store wood for the fireplace in the house. We burn that when ocasional heat is needed in early fall and spring when it starts warming up. The Royall boiler which is in my shop does all the major heating, house-celler-shop, during the winter heating season. I built the red cart to bring in wood to the boiler from the attached woodshed. In the celler I use a converted feed cart to wheel a batch of wood from pile to where the dumb waiter is. The dumb waiter is made from Kubota crates and overhead door rollers and track. I mounted a HF 120V winch up in the trusses to raise and lower the dumb waiter. The last pic is of a chopsaw tab le that I built years back to block slabs off my home built bandsaw. I need to fab some brackets so I can quick couple it to the splitter for transport. It will free stand once set up at landing and dump directly into the elevator hopper. I'm tierd of bending over and chaseing smaller limbs with the saw to cut them to length. I can't work like I used to, but my shop built machines provide the muscle that I no longer have. To those of you who ask why not just hook to natural gas, the answer is easy. There are no NG lines in the area. Besids I like building things. the Kubota crates and other materials that I build stuff from are free, and I love working in the woods. On top of that You can't beat wood heat. Loren, the Acg.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
