So is that a 6" diameter round split once or 6" across a split side to make a 6 X 6 square or 6 X 6 X 6 triangle ? Seems big for a stove but maybe you are talking wood furnace ??

It was with a "triangle" shape. Good point about wood stove size.
I have a Quadrafire 5700 w 3 cu ft box and it swallows these sizes.

Good thing I don't have a boss worried about making the daily quota though.

On the other hand if I worked fast someone might want to hire me.

The mere fact that you "worked" would make you a prime labor hire.

I had such a boss. I think he was in his early to mid 30's when he hired me. Always "strung tight" as a violin and miserable and dead at 54 of a heart attack.
My most pleasurable moments as a logger was when I was in the woods and he wasn't.

I have a small Quadrafire wont take them anywhere near that size.3-4 inch triangle 16" long is about it!

If one recalls, the wood stoves back in the 80's were merely steel boxes with air inlets for combustion.
They were "huge". No glass with names like Timberline, Fisher and "All Nighter".
You could put a mother-in-law in one of these.

the "All Nighters" were ahead of their time Mol for burn technology.

Grew up with a Papa Bear Fisher stove. The house is still in the family and the stove is still going strong. The door still passes the dollar test for tight closure (amazing since there is no gasket).

Back when I lived in Missouri I had what was called a Longwood stove, more of a furnace actually as it was hooked into my ductwork. It was dual fuel kind of, not only would it burn 5 foot long logs but it had a kerosene injector that would start those logs and the turn off when it got to temperature, in a pinch you could use it for a short time with no wood burning only the kerosene. As far as the wood, it had a 5 foot long fire box about 18-20" in diameter, had a roller built in at the bottom of the door which would aid in loading the logs! Also it was tied into my thermostat which would open/close the damper to regulate heat.. pretty cool actually.

How old was it? I also have a Montag cook stove that was original to this house (1910), that has a kerosene "summer" part of it so not to heat the house up in the summer when cooking.

I do not know how old it was, it was about 25 years ago. Google it, seems like a bunch of stuff out there about it.

This diagram, showing where the most common chainsaw injuries are, was copied from the box which my Stihl saw chaps came in. I found it interesting as well educational. I've long since gotten away from running my saw without them... now I'd better buy a pair of safety gloves.

When I tried you had to explain why you wanted to join. There were a couple other things which were also not just name rank and serial number. It’s been a few years, I don’t remember everything. It was involved enough, however, that I was a bit peeved they didn’t have the courtesy to at least say no, so I haven’t been back.

That explanation is purely to keep the spammers out. It was added some years back when they were geting people who joined just to advertise some product or another. THe ydo allow advertising thigs for sale, but they don;t want people joining just for the commercial exposure.

Do they make safety gloves, and do your hands still work while wearing them?

Reminds me of the time when I was much younger and I was gleaning some firewood from the roadside after the power line trimming crew had come thru. I was working along and all of a sudden there was an older guy with a bad limp coming along the edge with a back pack on. He stopped and said he was spraying stumps to keep them from resprouting. Then he said "Ya know, I used to work like that. Without chaps and gloves. Now all I can do is this job." Then he held out his hand and pulled up his pant leg. He only had the two little fingers on a half of a hand plus a wicked scar on his leg and knee.

That little encounter was all it took for me.

My question would be for them is are these from the saw or how the saw is being used? As far as safety glasses go you might have a hard time finding some that don’t fog up, personally I have a set of Oakleys I treat regularly when falling timber if I wear any at all. No matter what way you go you still run the risk of dust in your eyes depending on how the saw is being used as well as the clutch cover design.

For anti fog safety glasses I got a couple of these with mesh screens instead of lenses, they work well.. and zero fog!

My hard hat also has a mesh face protector which is nice!

I’ve wore the bug eye style mesh goggles in the past but they suck in the rain and every time you look up the fines go right through same goes for the screen on the hard hats. Safety glasses or nothing in my book are the answers neither of them mess with your vision well sighting in either like screen does.

I haven't tried a pair yet, but many manufacturers including Oregon Oregon Protective Orange and Black Chainsaw Gloves | Oregon Products and Echo Product and Equipment Accessories for ECHO units including Safety Accessories offer them.

The very first time that I used a chainsaw I inadvertently reached down and took a branch off the chain, as the saw was idling down.
That was in 1979, I still have the scars on the backs of two fingers. It was a lesson well learned though.

I wear prescription eye glasses anyways and every pair is ANSI approved although I don't usually wear the side shields. I also have a screen on my hard hat, and am trying to get better about using it.

Yeah, and I dont do it full time like you do.
