Cutting at night time

HDR, that's some kind of hardcore stuff right there.
Pretty funny.

 

That's part of the reason I had to post it, it is funny

 

I vote you block on the weekend and split after work. Did this in a couple hours to help a coworker out. I would think you could get twice as much done with daylight. Jmo

 

I cut and split at night a lot this time off the year. Just watch the back side of the logs and know where your bar is at. My Spitter has 4 lights on it with one of them attached to the boom that can be pointed in all dirctions

 

Splitting in style

 

From what I can see, I really like your splitter!
Nice hoist & table.
What does it look like in the daytime?

 

I do it once in a while. I have one of those 250 watt spot lights on the back of my house, and cut and split at night with it on. The only downfall of only having 1 light from one direction is you have to lay out the wood and/or jig in the correct direction to get the light so shadow's don't get in the way. It's definitely a bit slower, but it works. Just pay attention and don't cut corners (aka start cutting in a shadow because you don't want to waste the time or effort to re-arrange a round into the light...). I always make sure there is plenty of light in the cutting zone, and double check that it will be there thru the entire cut.

 

Yep felt real good on the hands skinning a cold deer.

 

I have ran saws in the woods by headlamp because I had to finish getting my wood out of the wood I hate leaving with out a full load lol
And I have cut spilt and stacked by work light before
I much rather have daylight thou
If you can shine the light down from above you then it works really good less shadows and blinding

 

I'd cut with lights if a must, but I think I'd focus on getting as much cutting done during the day as possible and leave your splitting/stacking for night - IMO much safer. Cheers!
