I walked by the wood stove today and something captivated me.
Yes, most of my blog posts are about sharpening chainsaws, cutting firewood, splitting firewood and stacking firewood. But that’s just a means to and end.
The reason I do all the work is for what you see in the picture above.
What do I see?
- Self Sufficiency. A wood stove heating a house with no reliance on big oil, big gas or big electricity.
- A clothes dryer.
- A clothes warmer. Have you ever put on a coat or pair of shoes that was lying in front of a wood stove. No matter how cold it is outside you carry that heat with you while transitioning from indoors to out.
- A peaceful place. Who doesn’t relax when seated in front of a fire?

Hi John, happy new year!!. For me it’s more about what I don’t see or hear – it brings me back to a simpler time. It’s like being in my forge. No news, politics, or commercials pushing the latest things to buy. No local or world tragedies unfolding. It makes all the previous work – worth while…
Wow Rich. You said it better than I could. Thanks for commenting.

Yes, that’s my sense of humor.
