DIY How to Create a Swedish Fire Torch | Outdoor Long Burning Log Round



In my DIY How to Create a Swedish Fire Torch | Outdoor Long Burning Log Round" video I show you how to quickly and easily make a fire log project. I'm reposting this video after having found it in my archives. I had deleted it from an earlier youtube endeavor a few years back. The idea of a Swedish torch itself was not mine, however, after watching some videos on it back in the day I figured I'd make my own version using my trusty Stihl chainsaw. These are a lot of fun to make and burn for a solid couple of hours + depending on what kind of wood you are burning. This was just a round of fir but I could only imagine how much burning time you would get out of a round of a hardwood like oak or even madrone (I call them madrona).  You can use a chainsaw but you could also use a bucksaw or handsaw to make one. You could do this camping or if you are able to, in your back yard.

DIY STIHL Axe Handle Replacement Tutorial Demonstration



Although I shouldn't be, I was amazed that this the farm and garden place I purchased this Still axe from made good on their free axe handle replacement promise. I chose to replace it myself as they're service department had quite the backlog of equipment repairs and couldn't get to it for a week or so. I had wood that needed splitting so didn't want to wait. I brought the broken handle to them and they immediately grabbed a replacement from the back and handed it to me. Minimal questions asked.
The new one I put one here is a even more hefty than the one previously on it. I will say, this is the best axe I've ever owned and was a great present given to me.
