    Good for you! I was hoping to be doing some work on Sunday, but our forecast doesn't look so great. Maybe Thanksgiving weekend we can catch a break.

    4720. I love it. Drag the splitter to where I’m working, load the wood into the containers, then fork them to my shop. That way I’m only handling it once!

    Ha! First time I’ve been called fancy! Our local co-op was cutting them up and throwing them in the scrap bin. I asked and they gave me a bunch. I cut the plastic container diagonally and use half as a roof.
