It's not my work but somebody did a nice job welding it. Was there when I bought it used.

Thanks for sharing that, I need to do something similar. I'm thinking about attaching it to angle iron which I can then bolt inside the guard.
Presumably I make the puddle on the heavier steel, then bring it to the ES. I need to practice my welding skills first though.

Presumably yes. But if you just have stick like me it isn't easy on light ES like that. I cheat and braze weld it with a bronze rod and O/A torch. Very easy and you don't burn off 2 out of 3 tacks.

I think that I will drill holes in 3/4" angle which I can weld onto the guard, then bolt the expanded steel to that. Just thinking it out right now, there's still too much snow to get to my welder.

Split a bunch of 4-foot black birch logs with wedges, maul, and Fiskars splitting ax. Will be great burning in 3 years.

Do you burn them in 4' lengths or cut them down? If you cut them shorter, how do you do it?

That seems like a lot of work. Why not cut them shorter and put them through a splitter?

Fence rails?

I've built a bottle cage out of ES and a few other things. You basically just tack it. Put the ES inside some angle iron for a clean finish and less bleeding in the future.

This was a little clean up of the top of a tree I dropped mid winter. This makes for less lifting, then stacked right into the crate.View attachment IMG_20180401_114432855.jpgView attachment IMG_20180401_121740707.jpg
