    Danes disarmed forever, and in 2012 when they got wise on PCP airguns, they was instantly thrown in with regular firearms, so to get a .22 and up Air rifle you have to take a hunting license, learning things by heart that you can not do with your air rifle CUZ that would be illegal.

    Guy in video will see no counter argument from me, CUZ while a bit crazy i can spot insanity easy, and if anything we should do more about insanity in our countries.

    PS. i am amazed we have pitch forks here, CUZ that was largely what farmers used rebelling last in 1534 when farmers was pretty much just slaves of the land lords and higher ups in Denmark.
    Not that it changed anything, it was still poop until " modern times " hence why so many Danes went to America when they got the chance, CUZ fat chance here.

    The issue not even on the agenda here, that’s how whipped Danes are today, a sad shell of their former great self.

    Kansas City will get 12-16 inches of snow today.

    For once, we have no snow on the ground up here.

    I have been procrastinating, it have really been OK weather just daum cold, and even with heat sources in the shed i have not been bothered going shooting.
    But if the forecast for THUR - FRI - SAT hold up i will have to go, CUZ by then i will suffering severe range withdrawal symptoms.
    Grund here in my part of little Denmark white but only just, but a little more are forecast for tomorrow but we are talking a couple of inches here.

    Warm days here ATM is like +2 to +10 deg C, and that is still way outside my comfort zone.

    -7F and no snow on the ground sounds very strange to me.

    Buried my Dad in late spring.
    The guy had a good run, and no church thing as none of us church people, but the chapel was filled to the brim, and many a worker song was sung, and many red union banners there.
    Dad was MUSH respected, even for a god damn Commie.
    The old guy was there for his people ( workers and especially masons ) in the end it also cost him his family CUZ the old peeps divorced in the end.
    Dad left home at 6 in the morning and was home again around 7 in the evening, that be on the not busy days.

    My condolences.

    MY WOOD SHED IS FULL!!! :ROFLMAO:

    I had two pretty serious physical injuries this past spring/summer that really hampered me from physical labor this fall but thanks to a great PT and a bit of grit and determination, I just put up the last of the 10 long cords of wood I need for heating our property this winter.

    Bring it on, Jack Frost! 😇

    Well if it was not for the distance, and shipping costs i would take any surplus off your hands, CUZ while the oven in the shot shed are no longer blasting thru the wood, then it have eaten a bit of our small stash.

    We probably need to cut / split more of the reserve stash in the 20 foot container, the old chainsaw / axe way, CUZ we grown very used to the shed being heated.

    No sir! Im keeping wood for next year, I want a full 2 year supply on site. (Inner hoarder speaks)

    Not a huge fan, but i would not out myself as a idiot by calling him the same, the guy is clearly anything but that.
    I also would not mind picking his brain for a while 1 on 1

    I got a new bench with a WALL!

    A lot more space so I can keep 2 each of parts on the table now and I can keep the big tanks on the table as well.

    Sweet!

    Very nice and good organization of tools.

    Slightly smaller than the living room table that is my work bench.
    It would be nice to have a room just for tinkering with things, but i can not afford the rent on a 3 or 4 room apartment, well at least not a apartment in a populated region of this small country.

    I could actually get a house in a rural area for the same i pay for my current apartment, also with more rooms, the problem is those houses are most often a pretty poor heating rating, meaning it will cost a lot to keep them warm

    I built a 20 ton press with a 12V powerpack about a decade ago and while its very strong, its very slow due to the huge cylinder and it makes production too slow to be useable.

    I inherited a second press that's half the size and has a cylinder half the diameter so that will increase the cycle time by X3.

    Cool?

    The powerpack was bad so I bought a new one and this one has a 2 button pendant that I hate and I'm going to swap that out for a 2 position joystick. Or so I thought.

    Problem is, it's a 4 wire switch, a 2 position 4 NO is needed but one does not exist at affordable prices. I had to build my own.

    Seven bundles of mixed hardwood is laid up under the lean-to, 14,000lbs so far. Another 7 bundles go into the wood shed. Feeling healthy and pain free! Good fall so far.

    @Firewalker How are you splitting and bundling such long pieces of wood? What sort of equipment do you use to stack the bundles up?
    Firewalker
    I get the bundles from a sawyer as is, I use my tractor with forks to lift and carry them to my processing spot in front of the storage areas. I cut the bundles down to 20" lengths while on the tractor and stack the wood like normal firewood.

    This is how they are delivered to me.

    Its that time of year again! 48,000 pounds of mixed hardwood destined for the wood boiler, needs to get cut to 22" pieces and hauled to the woodshed and lean-to.

    First time ever, the boys are coming up to make a "wood day" happen!! 20 long cords of wood in one day!!

    I'm back from vacation, I got everything put away, cleaned up and getting ready for next year's convention.

    I'll clean the Airsmithing bench today and start conversions tomorrow once again.

    Great to be back, I hope to get behind some glass soon as there seems to be a striped gopher in the garden!
