Wow. Thanks man. I was just outside for the last hour looking and my stacks and thinking about a jig - perfect timing. I have a big chop block that now needs a milk crate and some shims. I have enough stuff around here to secure it safely too. No matter what the task or job, nothing beats experience and know how. Seriously man... Thank you!!
Rock, Creative thinking with the wood jigs. We all have times that we have some wood that needs a little haircut ...
well I was thinking you might not want to make an elaborate jig if you only have a small amount to do. I don't come up with all these ideas, I just remember them, save them, and pass them along. Last 2 pics are of Zaps jig
Great ideas here ! Also wanted to say that it trully makes the chainsawing harder when its so humid outside. We all have to do it sometimes
I use a big zip tie pulled tight on the handle and measured from the bar. I get a little variation as it bends and flexes, but I allow for that by cutting a little undersize. Works good and flips out of the way.
A piece of hardwood floor and a hatchet has served me well for a long time. I can see losing the stick in the woods pretty easy but I am doing logs in my driveway.
Done that basically the same, hatchet Mark, Plus taking away the bark from the dirt, bottom with a hatchet
