    While I liked his implementation of the capstan to hoist, it's an unnecessarily spartan machine when it comes to guarding overall.
    I'm a city boy, with a faint rustic demeanor. A little bit of watching helps find wood to harvest; usually curbside.
    I use a variety of manual methods, to avoid repetitive stress injury. They are 30" Estwing axe, Oregon Grenade, old school wedges, 3 pound engineers hammer, 4 pound sledge, a Swedish pruning saw, larger bow saw.
    Cause she liked it when I took my shirt off.
    Sincerely,
