Great job Mike. That's beautiful work.

I didn't..
Hickory isn't a common tree around here.

We’ve got huge stands of Shagbark Hickory here. Can be some valuable wood in the right form. Splits easy if not felled correctly. Usually snowmobile belly pans and the like, are filled with hickory nuts like the pic you showed. A delicacy among squirrels and mice.

That crap looks to be staying south of us again, might be the best part of the week. Of course would rather be in Fargo dealing with it than here dealing with other *s-worde.

That’s a great looking kitchen @czar800 Mike.

Good morning men, 18 going to just shy of 40 here. Percipation's forcasted start has been pushed off by 12 hours in the last 24, and with the temp swings likely starting as rain later this afternoon.

Remember when I posted this? Said it was an X17. Someone thought it looked like a X22. It is an X17. I can't believe how well it splits wood.

Why, who got reported now?

No idea, I don't have access to the reports....

What's the yellow handled axe in the back round? A Ochsenkopf?

I used to have a x17, it was a good axe, but it got tossed during the purge / memory clean out of 2017.

Beautiful work!

Thank you! It took me a while to get to this point.

I can believe that. I miss woodworking. I no longer have the tools/space/time. Probably get back into it once I retire - so like 30 more years!

Just the handle. I hung a True Temper head on it.

MAXX Utile shower kits from Lowes..... Junk. Garbage. Herd of turds.

That’s a great looking kitchen @czar800 Mike.

Thanks Gary. I have a few days off next week so I’ll probably be able to work on the backsplash.

Looks like you lasted longer than I did.

Looks like you lasted longer than I did.

I cut my firewood 14" - 16". Makes it split easier.

That island benchtop is huge @czar800 . How many of @dall kids does your wife have to feed again?

I cut my firewood 14" - 16". Makes it split easier.

I cut 16" also, but my hydraulic splitter complains a lot less than I do.

18°F and snow this morning, so I spent today making a couple really long soft shackles out of 7/16" amsteel to use when the weather gets nicer. Laid out they're about 48" long and should be good to about 50k lbs.
