Just at freezing temperature this morning with the sun coming out so campinspecter decided to go get a load of firewood. I wasn't going to join him but then changed my mind and brought the camera with me. I get out of work by taking pictures. When I joined him, he was busy splitting blocks that he had left over from his last trip out. He cleaned up the logs we were going to get today and marked them. Thanks buZZsaw BRAD for the idea of the sidewalk chalk. All marked and ready to buck My part is to make this pile into neat rows in the back of the truck The rounds don't look big but it is very wet Western Hemlock - very heavy and seems heavier the older we get. The winch on the woodsplitter makes a big difference. I love the pop sound on the first split. The other end of the log. The first battery ran out about three cuts before the end of this log. Working on the second battery for the saw, campinspecter went after the last two rounds to fill the truck. As I had brought the car out, we loaded the back of the truck completely up with rounds and I brought the tools home in the back of the car. Tomorrow, if it isn't raining, we will take the load to Mom's.
Wow Allan campinspecter ... that saw really works well... ... Thanks for the pics and vids Woodwidow .
Thanks for the pictures! You can blame the weight on gravity. Over time it has become stronger. Sometimes it even gets difficult to get out of chairs!
Great pics and video folks. Watching Allan buck reminds me of what ill go through sometimes at a cut. Loving that 300. Be interesting to see how battery powered saws will evolve.
Great videos and pics, Woodwidow . Thanks for sharing. Impressive saw. I'd never heard of that MSA300 before.
Yes !! ... Dennis is right... someone... somewhere... turns that dammmmmed gravity up as we get older... . ....
I enjoyed the videos on your YouTube channel and then read the thread. So glad you went with campinspecter , bet he enjoyed the company too.
Really appreciate the vids and feedback. It’s really cool to see the technology evolve with the battery saws.
Thanks for taking us along Woodwidow and campinspecter , looks like a productive day for both of you. Stacking the wood in the front of the bed would be hard on my back, so it's not an easy chore. Stay safe and keep up the impressive work you two.
My knees are shot especially the right one so I can only do it for short stints with knee pads on. Mainly, because I am short, I stand and bend over to stack until the row gets 3/4 high and then I have to kneel to finish the row.
The day dawned bright and clear with temps at freezing. Here was the view from our living room window. To get to Mom's, we ride a ferry. A beautiful day for a sea cruise but we don't see much from the car deck. I tried to get a pic of the mountains on the mainland of BC Too cold to go upstairs to the observation deck. Mom lives on an island and the straits were calm this morning. The wood shed that needs filling. It will take seven cords to fill this one. Another six truck loads will be needed. Every load makes a difference. The view from her living room window. Awesome neighbour, who lives below her, fills the furnace twice a day during the winter. Come April, she will start doing it herself when she feels she needs it.
