Funny how our perspective changes over time. I used to burn a lot of wood, because I thought that the price of heating oil was too high. While I had a lot of regular farm work to do, I did have wood on the farm, and I was still in my early 40s. Doing a bit of extra work seemed worth the $$ savings. But as I aged, that extra work became a drag, and my kids had grew up and were not living with me to enjoy the benefits of the wood heat, and didnt want to come help old dad put up winter wood. I put new windows in the house, and a new furnace, the savings made a noticeable difference, so I only cut a fraction of the wood I used to, and only light the stove up when the temperature drops near 0F. Well time marches on, and I am crowding 61, the price of heating the house hasnt gone up much over the past 5-6 years, but the number of trees dead and dying around the farm are adding up, and need to be cleaned up. So I guess I will be back out cutting more firewood this year than in years past, just to keep the trees from falling into the field. Who knows, maybe I can save a buck or two on the cost of heating this winter. Not fooling myself though, I have cut wood all my life, and there is a price to be paid in labour. Firewood isnt free heat, but if you have the trees, no money leaves your pocket.

In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
