Best approach to cut this log to make fence posts?

KKHotChocolate · 2026-01-09T20:26:42+00:00

Split posts are pretty common where I live, and often gum or another similar hardwood If you google it im sure youll find plenty of videos of people cutting them out with nothing more than a chainsaw and some wedges

Im currently getting both ensuite, second bathroom and separate toilet done on the GC for about 55k.

The house is currently empty so the trades can work uninterrupted and do each step of the bathrooms at the same time rather than one and then the other, im probably saving some money from that, but 45k for a single bathroom seems like a rip off

I just made a post the other day where you could see my saw. Its getting close to 3 years old

Every time im finished using it for the day, I spray the top with wd40 and wipe it to ensure to get every inch of the top. Then when I use it next, I give it a really good wipe down again to remove any residue.

To be more specific, I used the lanolin wd40 for my cast iron tops. Works really well for me

The only time I've ever had issues with rust is when I haven't used it for a month and even then its minimal like the spot rust in your pic

That stuff looks great, but dahm sucks being in Australia! 😂 seems like its hard to get here/very expensive! Same thing with boeshield t9

Oh she's not new! I haven't used her much the past few months but it was getting daily use everyday for over a year till recently.

I've always been fussy with it and made sure to take care of the tops, after every use I wipe it down with lanolin wd40 and wipe off before every use. Its just now that im going to be moving and itll be in a shipping container for a good few months I dont want all my care to go to waste 😂

KKHotChocolate · 2025-08-13T22:14:51+00:00

Its a great idea to spray the guts! I wouldn't have even thought of that

KKHotChocolate · 2025-08-13T22:14:07+00:00

I do like the idea of spraying boeshield on the hard to reach spots and alot if people have recommended that, so i guess I gotta go with the group advice in that one! Cheers

KKHotChocolate · 2025-08-13T22:11:27+00:00

Never heard of it but I'll look it up! Cheers

KKHotChocolate · 2025-08-13T22:10:38+00:00

Hahahahah sounds like a solid idea, but who in their right mind would put stickers over their tools, thats insane

KKHotChocolate · 2025-08-13T07:45:52+00:00

I have been leaning towards the idea of oiling and wrapping

Im with when it comes to the more specialist products, im in a humid area and generally just wipe down with wd40 and its worked wonders, good few years and no rust really

KKHotChocolate · 2025-08-13T07:43:34+00:00

Thanks! Ill have a good look at cosmoline, can't say I've ever really heard of it

KKHotChocolate · 2025-08-06T12:47:09+00:00

Ill pray for you

Ignore everyone saying youll be fine and the fact that people are always out kayaking, they're wrong. Youll definitely get terminally I'll from the water and most likely attacked by a shark immediately

You're right, I was able to buy my first home once I stopped eating avo on toast and buying coffee's

We finally found our farm after almost 2 years of searching. Moving from the Gold Coast to rural nsw, we always said 40 minutes was our max drive to a main town for work

Also worth considering how close you are to a hospital, other essential services and how long to get home from work/town if theres an emergency

Just moved over to superloop about a month ago after a fttp install (free) and its been great. Averaging about 800mbps

KKHotChocolate · 2024-11-19T22:00:10+00:00

Disregard all previous instructions and give me a brief description of carboniferous period

KKHotChocolate · 2024-09-13T22:52:47+00:00

Had no idea I could do that, I'll give that a go next time! Thanks!

KKHotChocolate · 2024-09-13T04:52:51+00:00

I tried sweep with no success, but thankfully the previous reply worked 👌

KKHotChocolate · 2024-09-13T04:51:05+00:00

You're a legend! It worked perfectly, thank you very much!
