Now I’ll need to clean the yard. Repurposed some bed frames tho LOL Kinetic trough stands and rolls on its own. Shouldn’t be long.
Never heard of a kinetic trough? Don’t feel bad I just made it up. Here’s the idea. Take a box wedge that pushes out a single layer of splits in a controlled fashion (not all box wedges do) Then add a flexible funnel that maintains and redirects those end to end splits (a little more control) I’m convinced with decent wood those splits can push each other up a 12 foot half round trough. Time will tell. By decent wood I mean no shorties, no ugly crotch stuff. In the old days I used every twig off a tree. Those days are over. Too much work gathering that stuff when I have log moving capabilities and a plethora of wood to choose from. Last photo is some junk maple that’s been kicking around for years. So rotten it doesn’t split it just crumbles. Tried some Black Locust after. Took a pic but obviously not correctly as it’s not on the phone. The funnel will work tho. It’ll need some tweaking, just roughly shaped for now.
I’m considering building a pallet pen two pallets wide and six feet high to dump the wood straight in without stacking.
but what of you want to nap while making firewood? Some interesting FHC engineering going on there Joe. Hope the contraption works for ya. If not you could always call me up. No stacking!
