hej hej all, I have been chainsawing like a mad man, and i find out it was too much for me to handle with my liitle quad and woodwagon. So i called a friend with a big machine to come and help me get it out of the wood and put next to my house. Well i can say this realy helped me a lot, i am so thank full. There is only one problem, i only got about 10% of all the wood down now, and there is lot more standing. Seems i got some more work for a couple of weeks i think! Here some pics for u wood porn lovers! Have a nice day all!
Very nice! Think I can be friends with your friend. Love seeing people helping others out and not to mention a good pile of firewood.
Hej hej all, I go and cut it later in to blocks, first i got a litle other job that i have to finish today, get all the gravel and sand in to the parking place so my car does not freeze to the floor again!
Heavy Equiptment sure makes a big job easier, your lucky to have a friend with a big machine, Duvekot . You have yourself a great place there, and plenty of wood to cut.
Hej hej all, This afternoon i got some time left, i coulth not resist and started getting some blocks from the new pile, got two loads in the yard! No it is getting dark and i think i urned a beer and some food! Have a nice day all!
That's a great pic right there, DaveGunter would be proud. Is that a wheel made out of round piece of wood on the barrow? If so, very nice indeed.
You are “Spoiled” Very nice Good friends are priceless ! Nice stack of birch. There some cottonwood (poplar) in there?
Hej hej all , Got sick and tired of those flats on the weel barrow , so yes just a slap of wood in it and go!
Hej hej all, To be honest i just started with wood sawing and burning, i am what u call a total amateur! Dont have a clue what the name of all the wood is, i only know birch an pine! Its the same with my wood gathering sawing and splitting, just learning along the way. First time i hold a motorsaw in my hands is 3years ago, and still i am learning how to saw down trees. In the last 3years made a lot of mistakes with what i think is called widdow makers trees. Firts of all i am still affraid of the chainsaw , and i dont think thats bad since it is a very dangers tool! Thats why i like this site, it gives me a lot of ideas and tips how to handle things. But like i said before i am still learning everyday. Have a nice day all
You are very right to be scared of the potential dangers of the chainsaw. Too many experienced loggers have lost their lives......
It is a little Husqvarna and untill now it does a great job, today i have been working on the new stack getting it in to blockes. I make some new photos tommorrow for u wood porn lovers!
Hej hej all, Still i got a lot of questions: When u stack splitt wood is it better with the bark up or down? Does wood dry more faster if u cut it in blocks or whole logs? What is the best way to keep logs good over the winter time ( from the ground up i know) but do i need to cover it also? When u stack blocks, is it better standing up or lay then on the sides? Thats all just for now more questions will come i know! Thank for helping me out guys!
1: Probably doesn't matter. 2: Blocks will dry faster than logs, but best drying is split & stacked with good airflow. 3: I don't worry about covering until the wood is split & stacked. Logs up off the ground will keep fine. 4: Lay the blocks on their sides off the ground. End grain tends to absorb moisture more easily than the bark side. Nice work on the wood gathering, & I love the wheel barrow wheel!
