    For way too long I’ve put off this project on the to-do list. And lately we’ve been doing a lot of sanding in the workshop, preparing for lighthouse Christmas tree toppers. So it was time to get this project completed and breath a little easier… literally.

    We do! It’s great exercise. Outdoors in the fresh air on a cool day with a bit of a breeze, which is almost every day between September and April.

    Reading the moisture content

    February 28, 2023 /

    All is not what it seems when it comes to measuring the moisture content in firewood. A live tree such as birch hardwood that is cut fresh off the stump, (aka ‘green’) then split and stacked, should have a very high moisture content.

    DIY hack – brush sweeps oil from sawmill blades

    June 10, 2022 /

    The Wood-mizer BMS250MU CBN sharpener has plastic cards that you re-position to scrape excess oil from the sawmill blade as the blade is passing through the sharpener. The oil is used to cool the CBN stone and to wash away the excess steel filings from the sharpening process. The cards do a fair job but for a couple reasons these brushes will improve the job.

    I put some thought into a way to handle smaller pieces of firewood, 6 inches in diameter or smaller, so that the pieces will pass through the splitter trough whole (not split). This video is the initial test run of that new design.
