The best thing about this box is when you keep everything together you are far less likely to forget to bring something with you when you travel into the woods or some remote workplace.
Blondy Tom, and hopefully avoid leaving gear in the woods. When the box is full, you're all packed up.
I do something similar for my saw stuff, I didn't make it to hold saws though. Great way to keep stuff together.
Yep, you got it badder...better go get some help with that...oh wait, that's why you're here, we all gots dat problem.
I don't have all the big mechanical help of some of the things I've seen here. I do have a couple small things that I use regularly especially splitting. The small Hatchet is great for cutting apart some of the stringy pieces, and a breaker bar is great for leverage moving some of the bigger rounds around. Can't forget the Grizzly removing splitter around.
I see you have the board in front of he foot now. Nice. Just a suggestion, if you can get it a shade higher than the tips on the foot, the blocks will slide on easier.
I love this thread and ones like it! It is full of folks adapting and overcoming the things that stop or slow us down. And, best of all, sharing with the rest of us. The pix that follow show an ATV chainsaw bracket that I adapted and attached to the FEL on our Kubota L3901. It was one of my best purchases ever at a $6 cost on sale. Even if I'm not working firewood, I do like to have a saw along on the tractor. No matter if it is working at a hunting property, bush hogging, or doing anything unrelated to firewood, a downed limb or tree in a trail can derail us all. The bracket itself works pretty great. So, why not fiddle with it? LOL The time it takes to loosen the wing nut, and/or remove a glove to do so, has grown to annoy me. I know, we are talking about a whopping 30 seconds, at most. I'm not sure what I expect really. Some sort of quick draw saw competition... The saw down at the O.K. Coral? Anyway, I removed the bolt and wing nut to add a toggle latch that I had salvaged from something else. Now securing or removing the saw from the bracket is not only much faster, but I can do it while still using gloved hands.
I forgot to add my stick rake I built to this thread. After logging last winter, my fields were covered with sticks because the !@#$%^ logger was not bright enough to drive around the edge of the field, and cut right across it. Wanting to get the limbs rolled out of the field before the grass came up and it was time to hay, I welded up a stick rake to go on my 3 point hitch. I was shocked that it worked as good as it did too! There was no way I was going to walk around acres of field hand loading sticks onto a trailer. Granted with this thing I can only roll them one way so I have to make sweeping passes, but its better to sit on your katukus and circle a field, then it is to pick up sticks by hand. The screens are so that the stick rake can rake up plowed ground and filter out the dirt, and just windrow the rocks. Guards can be zip-tied to the rake if a person wants to rake sticks out of the way.
I am not sure this would work, but I am thinking that it might be possible to use this same implement with the guards attached to widen out my road (of snow) after my v-plow goes through. I am not sure if the tines would dig into frozen ground enough to spin and transfer the snow to the outside track or not.
Moved some totes of wood to the boiler today, & had an extra tank from a cage I gave away, so rather than waste it this is what I did. Plastic pallet underneath, cut the top off & fill with dry Maple. Holds about a 1/4 cord.
I really like these timber claws. Saves my back and makes carrying heavy rounds around a lot easier. Kind of like carrying a suitcase.
I have the metal folding kind with top handle, only 1 set. I pulled a muscle in my back carrying a heavy round on one side, be careful.
My homemade pickaroon from a repurposed Fiskars X27 handle that i broke. See my thread Homemade pickaroon with a reclaimed Fiskars handle. I use it mostly to remove rounds or splits from the PU.
