At Home In The Woods

Was it this one where he put a tire around the log before splitting it? It's a funky looking axe, but it does the job. If anyone should know about wood heat, it would be the Finns.

Here this thing goes again, i think this thing made its rounds on the hearth a few years ago. I want to say even a few maybe had a test model to try???

If i remember right the consensus was that it would be great if you have straight grain softwood like fir or pine but for oak it will just laugh at anything other than smaller straight grained redoak.

Yes, I would like to see someone splitting hickory with it. Then I might be sold.

Our master closet has not been finished. It has no shelves or clothes hanging rods. My wife hung some new plywood shelves in the basement in order to put polyurethane on them.

We finally have shelves in the master closet! They are not completely finished.



The trim pieces that will cover the edges of the plywood for the long shelves and uprights have not be installed. We also will build some more shelves along the wall opposite from the door between to shelves at each end.



The work will have to wait until the springtime because wife wants to be able to open the windows in the basement for airing when she puts polyurethane on the remaining shelves and trim pieces.

My wife did this project by herself. The only help I gave was my opinion. Let me restate that. I gave my opinion - I'm not sure you can call that help.

Looks like you have a lot more clothes than your wife. Never seen that before! :laughing:

Kinda funny how my wardrobe keeps being brought into this thread. Maybe I should audition for GQ Magazine. Please, nobody take offense...

And just curious do you have any other clothes other than the grey pants and light blue shirt? Seems every picture of you your wearing them! Like one of those shows where the guy has a closet of the exact same thing.

I have to question any guy who notices the clothes another guy wears. Your man card may be revoked for such things or at least be put on probation. If the desire to critique the fashion of others Womans Day has a nice web site that may interest you.

Dude, YOU'RE the one recommending a women's fashion web site, so what does that tell us!?:confused2:

OK, this is getting funny. I understand some of the safety critiques and even agree with most of them to a degree, but questioning his wardrobe...

Saturday morning I woke up and wondered, "What should I wear today?" I went to my closet and carefully inspected my wardrobe. Making certain that you look good while you are working by yourself in the woods is of dire importance. Knowing this truth, I had a difficult time choosing my garments.

Should I prefer the Chartreuse shirt with the obtuse swirls today? How about the dashing beige shirt? Or perhaps the striking grey pinstripes? Then my eyes fixated on the perfect selection. There it was, the BLUE shirt. My face beamed with excitement. I thought, "Man, I look gooood in blue!" So the blue shirt it was. Once I had finally arrived at a decision on my tunic, picking the pants was easy. Of course! I'll wear the GREY pants because they compliment so well the BLUE shirt.

After I donned my apparrel, I strutted in front of the full length mirror like a male peacock parades in front of his potential mate. "Now I'm ready to go out and work by myself in the woods. It's too bad nobody will be able to see me out there because I really am the bomb!"

Why is it I have the feeling you have a closet full of blue shirts and grey pants?

Hey, you're the one who brought your wardrobe in this time...

I think that spending years in a camper without a respectable closet, having just one finished in your home is an improvement. I know that most of us have never full-timed in a camper, and would not understand. Makes me smile thinking that a simple post about, 'setting up a closet' would seem trivial to most...... but I understand!
Both my wife and I R/V now for vacation, one day we wish to sell the home and do it full time. Vice-versa to you. One thing is for sure, "Space" is coveted in a R/V. I get just the nightstand next to our bed for all my things and she gets the rest
My secret hiding spot is the place where she thinks I place the wheel chocks, outside compartment.

One item is still missing in your wardrobe!
A pair of chain saw chaps or trousers, with that many ordinary pants it would be a shame to have to cut a leg of so many pairs to make them fit....
