Earth magnet on bar , for 17" rounds

Now that makes good sense !!

 

I take the time to limb & clear the trip hazards on one side .
Square up the butt end.
Then put the rod on & walk the log marking as I go.

Remove & cut the logs to skidable size, skid to the truck, buck & load.
That way, I have all full length rounds, no short ones.

I wonder if bogydave didn't get the idea from this vid?

 

I think actually they got the idea from us
Welcome da club GLJ

 

Thanks. I don't know, that vid was uploaded on December 10, 2011.

 

yeah, I don't know either its just more fun to make your own stuff out of the things you have laying around

 

I like this idea but almost too ocd for me. As long as I'm 16"-17" I'm happy. I measured 16.5" out on my bar and it happens to be from the bumper spike to the hole in the bar you guys are using, on my 20" bar. Good enough for me. I limb as I go, but nothing a change to method wouldn't fix I guess. I may attempt to build something in my downtime when the temps get stifling hot.

 

Bret Hart made me this one for my 029 super

I'll try it out on Sunday.

 

No, never saw that vid, thinking they copied me. Mine I posted on u-tube, Jan 2010




HDRock gave me the idea of the earth magnet
Original was 1/4" bolt with a wing-nut

Posted the utube a video in 2010 on another site

Now; earth magnet, graphite rod for lightweight & pink duct tape for visibility,

 

If you have a system that works for you that's just fine, you don't have to have a measuring stick on your saw, but I do not see it is any kind of OCD it all, I see it as planning ahead and it works well for me and it is fast .
What I don't like is gathering up enough wood to load the stove and find three or four pieces are too long to fit

 

Probably in trouble for positing a grab picture of the original hearth.com thread, 24 Jan 2010
Am I the chicken or the egg ??? LOL

edit :::::

Can't even type the word H e a r t h

you guys need to let it go, (visit " mov-on .org )
Can I say, "are you still measuring your dicks ?? "

 

Wow ! bogydave , I read your other thread, I could hardly believe what I was reading

It looks a little dangerous to me
Death wish
that jig wouldn't last 20 minutes


I like the magnet mount , you can put it on take it off ,put it on other side quick, mine I can put anywhere on the bar only had it slip once , that was because there was metal shavings on the magnet

 

Cool.
I try to never stoop to the level of others.
If yow do to them , what they did to you, who's on higher ground.
& it shows they still have influence .

Nuff said ,
I did bust out laughing though. (when ****** showed up as asterisks )
