Do you have any photos of your exhaust system? Are you using a muffler, and what have you found is robust enough to survive the Mazda supersonic exhaust pulses that in the past have destroyed many mufflers after a few hours? I'm about to attempt a first engine start on my 86 13B on an RV-9A... :)

The mound is probably easier to cover and have snow fall off. Maybe you can make a backyard maze with all of your wood!

Mulching your leaves into your lawn is extremely healthy for your lawn. I never rake leaves, partly because it's a lot of work but mostly because it's an environmentally sound thing to do.

I have a 150-600mm telephoto lens that I just bought for my camera. Perhaps a trip over so you can try and get a better picture of them at their little hoose?

You should get Kirill to show you how he does it!

Total Cost : $260 - $200 for Lumber, $30 for Woodscrews and another $30 for Gate Hardware ... had I bought all the 12 ft 2x6 it would have been $500 but I had a lot of freebies.

Looks good so far. I usually bark my shins, not my head!

hi does your cylinder get extremely hot to the touch? so hot that it could burn you if you were to touch it for a prolonged amount of time.

hey i have a question, does your cylinder get so hot to the touch that it can burn you? mine gets so hot! I'm just wondering if that's normal for this log splitter.

Great video, thinking of similar trips to the US. Love their gas prices

Ha ha, the ending was great!

We had cloud cover at totality. Managed to see everything pre and post but not the big show!

Beauty! Can't wait to see the Turd ousted!

Nice overview of your trip. Glad you had fun. We did the same, however we chose Sherbrooke for our destination.

About to start building the second 2+2 airframe I've built, the first being 25 yrs ago. Never finished that one due to training, but the fuselage, tail feathers and gear was pretty much finished. This one will be 4-5" wider though, as the 39" interior width isn't very wide for a "four-place" aircraft. Did you keep track of the number of hours you spent on the project? You cite a 5-yr minimum build time, but how many hours per year are you talking about? How

This was the absolute perfect video I needed to be confident in buying this. Thanks for taking the time to review this for us Canadians!

That's a good bit of work there . What's the major make up of the wood , mostly oak and maple ? I know folks out here are paying roughly 700 a cord for birch cut and split with delivery

I'm thinking that you need to give that snowplow driver a coffee, or something.

I went to Strandherd drive last weekend. There were 2 guys with an ice-tent on the Jock at Richmond. I wouldn't have thought that we'd had enough constant cold weather for that

Certainly sounds better after the fuel filter change to my ears.

Great video. Ty. Leave in 2 weeks from Brockville. So helpful

Jeff's words of wisdom: Dress so you can walk home. Airplanes can't sit. Don't touch the windshield. Know your ice and test it.

Great video, Jeff! How was the flight this evening?

you should split some sweet gum

Nice wood splitter, but I just wonder why you split it down so small. I like about 1/3 of my wood to be bigger splits so a couple will carry my wood fire through to the next morning!

One day I want Bacon! A Cigar! Whiskey! Eggs and a little Black Coffee! And it's Beautiful! In 2024 we are stuck with the Biden crime family for one more year! Please God let Trump win!

Hard on the recoil but a very good vid.

You can get a Curtis hitch from Canada. At least I bought one for the truck. Of course, a little too late to tell you about it now.

Jeez, that's a nice orange helmet!

Thanks for the video

A family member pointed out I stated "I'm not afraid to experiment and take chances", and in the context of this video I do say that. I'd like to clarify: There was a realistic chance that this tree could have fallen in the wrong direction and done some serious property damage. When I first looked at it in late summer, with all its leaves on I said I wouldn't touch it and they should hire a tree service guy. I looked at it again when all the leaves were down at it didn't look so daunting. I began researching (watching youtube videos) on various tree-felling methods and aside from using an excavator, that is $$ out of my reach, I settled on the methods displayed within. So I took the chance that things could still go bad but did everything I could to prevent that from happening and that is the essence of this video. In general I do take chances; I built a homebuilt aircraft from scratch and put an automotive engine it (Mazda Rotary 13B Wankle), so most people would say those are two big risks and risks too big for most. If you check my aviation videos regarding my aircraft and engine installation, you'll see that I am very methodical in my approach; when I don't know something and that can be often, I stop, look and research on how to proceed. I am not an expert at anything and I still do make mistakes and although I do everything within reason to reduce risk, I do not lead a risk-free life and neither should you. If you want no risk - park your ass on the couch and get take-out ...

I like it wedge stacking and big hammer can't beat that!

The winches have a free-spooling or locking position selector knob depending on what you want to do. If you want to run out the full length of your winch, it's better to put it in free spool and just pull it out. The trick is to remember to switch it back. Saves on wear and tear on your winch. Luckily too, winches are much cheaper than they used to be so replacing one isn't that big of a deal anymore. Good job on the tree felling and winch fixing.

Just a shade of mum, that's felling a tree by the way.

Nice job.

You only go through a little sliver of Maryland and West Virginia when taken I-81

Omg yes! someone talking about the Trudeau carbon tax!

Thanks for sharing. I was given a set of these plans as a gift, but haven't built it yet. I like the advertised performance specifications, the classic Piper looks, and it's based on the PA-14 which is the airplane Nate Saint flew.

Love hearing that engine throttle up!

Very nice bro'!

Pretty silly not to just hook it up to your truck, I own this same log splitter pulled it many times going 120 kmph on the highway never had issues, to load it into a trailer is just silly & excessive IMO.

Bottom of the white arc is 40 - so your approach speed should be 52 (1.3 X Vso per AIM) - 55 at the outside. Being cautious is one thing - but 80 on final is insane. Most pilots fly way too fast on approach because they're terrified of stall - spin - and it's a good thing to be concerned about. But 2 X Vso is just nuts. You're not landing; you're flying the airplane onto the runway.

I've known it as a saddle. Smartest way to divert water.and usual chimney height is 10ft off roof for sparkarrester and next time make level mark on facia use speed square at bottom facia on line and read proper pitch. Love your wrk

Hey Jeffro. I just learned they make a 4 way wedge for these machines. I plan to get one with mine. My father in law has one and it sure saves a ton of time!

I purchased another table from Home Hardware, got the part number from the owner's manual, it cost 50$. It fits perfectly in the same holes, just needed longer bolts.

IT looks like the splitter is bolted on the frame. Why dont you just put in some kind of spacers and have a permanent solution?

You fly out of Smith's Falls!? I'm just outside Burritt's Rapids. I've been thinking about getting into aviation, but I don't have any pilot buddies. I don't suppose I could buy you a beer or coffee and pick your brain a little sometime huh?
