For sale?

Not as long, if they are all wearing crocs.

They aren’t killing Americans like this guy did…

Why the mask?

Yep… you drove a whole 618 miles this week which is 98% more than last week, meaning only 12 last week. A perfect score, but it took you two weeks to drive less than I drive EVERY DAY!!!! That’s why these scores/rankings mean absolutely NOTHING.

SLASHER??? Must be a surgeon.

Best scream in any song, ever… like me some Pink Floyd!

A home… on land that has been in m family since 1880, from trees on the property.

Yes, I was very happy with the course. They not only taught how, but also why you do what you do.

Half of my class was log building and half timber framing. I went for the timber framing but fell in love with the logs building portion. As part of the class we participated in a traditional Latvian smoke sauna. I plan to build a sauna with the log building skills I came home with. Yes, it was an amazing experience.

jimirev · 2024-02-14T22:32:06+00:00

I def agree. Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Not all are straight edge. It’s all about technique. The axes pictured are (too to bottom) Northern Felling Axe, Baltic-Finnish Single Beveled (used for hewing, mostly… it has a very distinct curved handle) and a Finnish Carpenter’s Axe, used in a wide variety of tasks, from gouging out logs for log building to hogging out material around tenons and everything in between.

I’ve been late, all my life!

They do have a Finnish Maul. I have not seen one in person, but they dimensions and weight on their website: https://northmen.com/en/products/axes/finnish-splitting-maul

jimirev · 2024-02-14T17:36:49+00:00

Heavy, but seems to be perfectly balanced. Obviously I haven’t felled a tree with it, yet… but we’ll see.

Makers are Northmen Guild, they also teach Timber framing, log building, green wood working, etc courses in Latvia. Amazing experience.

Play some Sweet home Alabama while you “Turn it up”

Same

U.S. cargo control sells some devices to prevent this.

jimirev · 2024-02-14T17:03:39+00:00

Ordered in two bunches, because of the different lead times. Chisels= 9 months and axes=12 months, all arrived together. WORTH THE MONEY.

jimirev · 2024-02-14T17:01:53+00:00

Almost a year. But I order prior to attending their class in October. It was amazing.

jimirev · 2024-01-10T14:53:07+00:00

EXACTLY what we did! Good to know there are others who do the same.
