Since we ran the woodsplitter. It fired up right away. Not too often do we split firewood in the carport but firewood is getting harder to scrounge in the woods. We had a drop off of about a cord so we went out this morning to tackle it. It was brought in a small dump truck. I didn't take pictures right away as we were trying to get our working flow straighten around. We had worked on about 1/4 a cord by this point. Which gave us about a half row in the wood shed. campinspecter's favourite part of firewood hoarding. I didn't get any videos of the woodsplitter working. Sorry guys. Maybe next time. This is western hemlock. Very wet and very heavy. A full row in the wood shed and this is what is left. Time to call it a day. A half cord is about all we can manage to process especially having done nothing wood related for quite some time. Woodshed smells great with the fresh split firewood. We are splitting down smaller for our use. The lengths were pretty consistent.
Awesome! I like that old wood splitter. It's vertical but it has a table off the ground. I saw a new one like that recently. Mine is on the blink.
Always good to see you folks in action. Love that splitter setup. I've used a similar one with a foot pedal and the only way I'd go vertical when splitting.
For really big blocks, campinspecter uses the winch to hoist the blocks on the table while the woodsplitter is hooked up to the truck. The winch wasn't needed today.
I hope your scrounging days are not over. We pile wood the same way, me and him. Right up to the joists!
