Having used wood and pellets the fuel cost is about the same if you buy your cord wood. If you harvest your own and enjoy the work of the cut, split, stack, bring in, routine that's where you'll save money.
Pellet stoves are much cleaner burning, and easier to operate. You can buy self starting models that run off a wall mount thermostat. The major drawback is they need power to run the exhaust and blower fans. If you have a generator, inverter, or battery backup then you're golden.
Then theres start up.
Wood Stove: gather kindling ... crumple paper,... warm the flue.... wait for draw,... slowly add appropriate sized pieces of wood to gain enough coals to maintain the burn.
Pellet stove: pour bag in, push start button, enjoy heat.

Since the brick is so fragile it may be a better option to either paint over it, or, have a graffiti artist put a mural on it.
They are more likely to re-tag if they have a blank canvas. If you just keep cleaning it you'll just end up destroying the already fragile brick.

Not only that, but it pulls in that extra fraction of market share for them.

That's why they need new battery tech like this,

It's no Rolex, but my grandpa has a Breitling Chronomat he was given in the 50s. I've always thought it was a classy timepiece. Me I have a Timex Expedition. I kill watches too quickly to justify spending very much.

8tenz your handle seems familiar. Damn it's gonna drive me nuts. Lol Welcome.

Not any weirder than the B&D autotape. How lazy do you have to be not to pull a tape measure. If you can't work up that kind of energy how can you mark your line or handle a saw.

1) I think Festool is going to make a big push into the cordless market, eg cordless sanders, track saw, routers, maybe even a domino.
2) We will see Milwaukee and DeWalt really pushing their made in the USA lines more than ever, and hopefully expanding on them.
3) We may see advancements in battery tech such as solid sulfur-lithium or nanoporous li-ion.
4) Dewalt will put out a tool that is better than Milwaukee. Chase and Conductor will say "Well sure they had x years of catch up! Milwaukees new one is going to be better "
5) Milwaukee will put out a tool that beats the Dewalt tool from #4. Chase and Conductor will say "Haha told you so!"
6) Craftsman will continue their gimmicky "innovation" and release a full line-up of hand and power tools for lefties.
7) Milwaukee will announce the m12 riveter to come out in August. Then scrap the release due to lack of interest. :-o

But Chase, they're CHEAP. Plus all that gobbledygook makes for such an interesting read.

A buddy of mine swears by his Grizzly 12 speed. It's a benchtop runs under $400. I haven't had the need to use it yet. I think this is it:

Proper usage and safety training are often over looked. I know it sounds kinda shop teacherish, but you definitely have to have a healthy respect for the tools and how easily they can eff us up. Our soft bodies are no match for hardened steel.
Plus us guys are macho showoffs that so often know everything as if it is embedded in our DNA. We don't need instruction or safety equipment. (Tim the Tool Man grunt)

Welcome Yukon and Kincaid.

I only got to make a couple of bundles of shingles. I was much too slow. The sawyer was so fast at it he made it look like I was standing still. Mostly I ran the wheel loader unloading trucks, bundling, or cutting blocks for the hand hewers.
Now those guys had some skill. It was neat watching them with their froes and draw knives making the high end hand hewn shingles and shakes.
Yeah that was Bart. I met him at a logging show a few years back. He had a presence about him that you automatically respected him. He seemed like a pretty cool guy.

Well I suppose it's a matter of perspective. When I was a meat cutter I knew a kid that got his arm pulled into a meat grinder he was cleaning, because he didn't disconnect the power. A woman I trained moved to another store. She never listened well when I told her to use her chain mail gloves, they made her hands cold. She cut off three fingers on the band saw. The guy I replaced damn near dide from blood poisoning. He sent a knife through his hand while steeling his knife, he closed the wound with super glue.
When I logged there was a greenhorn on a different crew that got killed because he was standing too close to a turn and hit in the back of the head. And an acquaintance helo logger just died when his chopper went down.
I used to work at a cedar shake and shingle mill during spring brake-up. They hadn't had any accidents in 10 years. I didn't know of anybody that got hurt running a chain saw, except me, I lost my shoulder pad and threw a hot saw on my shoulder and melted my suspenders to my shoulder.
Most of the accidents in the timber industry are crushings, degloving, or the old chippers.

I for one say good for you for having your priorities in order. Your family and home life should come before this forum.

I though about getting a pic for people of walmart but we get in trouble if we have our phones on the sales floor. Besides, nobody really wants to see that.

Yoga pants are much like spandex in the 90s. If worn by the proper person they are a sight to behold. If not it's a train wreckk
I just saw a dude wearing yoga pants. Everyone who saw this guy now knows way to much about him.
