    Just a stubborn old goat

    Ha You thought I was talking about you.
    Well, not this time. LOL
    I have this thing about stripping wire no matter what if it’s heavy enough. Well this time I got a little POed because the insulation was real tough PVC and even a new utility blade wouldn’t touch it.
    Now here is the stubborn old goat part.
    This wire was aluminum elec. Service lines. Not worth the time to strip but this stuff ticked me off . I am not one to be defeated by some ……of scrap.
    So I got serious with it.



    I made a makeshift table.

    Stretched the wire out thinking of a chicken neck,


    Gave it a good wack but went a little to deep.



    Now is this a little overkill for stripping wire or what.


    That’s a 3” dual carbide spiral blade.
