What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

Speaking of…

 

[James River]

Do you make the birds a neck carry sheath? Or can you?

 

[David Mary]

Yep.

And these will get cleaned up and finished Monday after all.

 

[Bobthebrewer]

Mine came with a very nice sheath.

 

[Murphjd25]

I cut my finger open on it the night I brought it to the house.

That is very nice David. What model is this?

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

Murphjd25 That is the Skinny fat Bowie XL. With sharpened top swedge that apparently will easily let the red stuff out. I will probably cut myself with it too

That’s exactly what I thought it was!! Looks very nice with that swedge!

Not normally a feature I order but since I have a chooper to beat the snot out of I figured why not. I would normally say something like it can't hurt but I'm certain at some point it definitely will.

 

[David Mary]

Is it just me or am I buying more and more of these…

 

[David Mary]

I guess the ones on the floor can go in the wood stove now

 

[David Mary]

Do they ever burn bright, hot and fast. T-shirt time.

Thank you for buying USA made !

burn bright, hot and fast.

Good to do this , regularly , to prevent runaway stack fire . Not joking !

 

[David Mary]

All this….


Came off of this:

 

[Bobthebrewer]

what's the weight difference between the left overs and the knife? Looks like a lot of work.

So is burning seasoned wood and sweeping the chimney...

Somewhat noticeable.

 

[David Mary]

Two more nearing completion for this week’s up coming postal run.

So is burning seasoned wood and sweeping the chimney...

So is not damping down the airflow too much or often , and having periodic, controlled mini-stack fires .

Also a good quality, high efficiency , wood stove ; designed to burn those fumes, that otherwise form creosote build up .

And an exhaust chimney that is long , sturdy , airtight and insulated . That will not tend to cause cooling and deposits of creosote inside .

Our area here, has had too many places burned down from stack fires .

Not generally cold enough, often or long enough , for the local culture to really understand wood burning , or invest much time, money or effort .

Poverty and ignorance... don't help none .

I admit to having some scary close calls, at first , before I figured out a preventative routine . Worked fine for 30y or more .

Anyway , we're beyond wood burning, as our main heat source, now . I won't go back, unless there's no affordable propane available .

We have plenty of chimney fires every year hereabouts. Mine could stand to be a bit longer, but I get up there and sweep it out every time it warms up enough to let the stove go out.

I switched to wood from propane when I left my last full time job, but seeing as I get paid to take wood off of jobs the sweat equity is a worthwhile trade off.

Actually just put the third engine in 8 years on the splitter a few weeks ago... That poor thing gets run like a rented mule.

I have a wood burning fireplace in my house. think I used it twice since I bought the place and moved in. never cleaned the chimney.....don't think I'll ever have to in my lifetime.......
