Eventually saw blades get dull, good thing my son likes to sharpen blades, the Woodmizer sharpener and setter is the best I think, set and watch it go round, the old discontinued Foley Belsaw sharpener for shingle saws requires a little more hands on....

BUT it's a hand crank, how come you dont set a battery winch on that post? For me that winch post would be always in the way because I'm taking off filches on that side, I need to go overhead.......

I did make an attachment to use my 20V cordless drill to power it, but we never seem to use it...

If you would stop taking your flitches off azzbackwards, the winch would work for you too! ha ha ha

I have a sharpener/setter, but an Amish guy here does them for 7 bucks ea., on a mizer set up, so I no longer care to do them at that price...

That looks like an expensive machine. It would interesting to setup and watch work.

I've been heating our house with wood for 2 years. The only draw back for me of the wood heat is the 90* wood stove room. The rest of our house is from 80*-72*. The first month we lived in our house from march to april we went through 200 gallons of fuel oil. That equated out to be $690 in a 70/30 mix. We now go through 150 gallons for the whole winter. The 1st year burning wood we paid for the splitter, new saw and all the consumables and still came out way ahead. At the time we only had a 1500 sq.ft. cape style home with 1952 insulation cardboard insulation in the upstairs none in the walls. Now the house is 2 story and 3000 sq.ft. but I cant imagine it being any cheaper to heat although it is all insulated very well now.

That 90' room is great when you come in from working in the snow and/or rain and need to dry your clothes. Ideally you would go from outside into that room where you leave your wet clothes and step right into the shower room.

Some of those "big boys" are a real job to turn! Even a 30" x 20' pine is a pretty good load,

But my winch log turner takes care of them nicely!

Two things.. ONE, I don't even want to mess with one of that size, and TWO, where did you get that turner or did you make it?

I tore down part of our 1954 house and put on an addition at the same time. And I understand about OLD about useless insulation.. The first year after the redo we spent $1200 on propane just for December, January, and February!! So the next September I installed a wood stove in the living room... 2 years later and I haven't bought anymore propane yet.. the stove does its job well!
And yes sometimes that room is a bit hot, to the point of having to open a window , but that's ok. And yes the bedroom stays MUCH cooler.. but that's the way I like it!

Yes, its always nice to have a hot stove to warm up near!

Actually that is where I come in usually, then stand in front of the stove for a minute. It is really nice except when I need to do any of the remodel stuff, I instantly start to sweat. All our friends make fun of us saying they know to wear t-shirts in the winter when they come over.
