A short section of roller conveyor to move from table to splitter. I have 2 longer sections here that could be cut down. You're more than welcome to what you need.
Nice idea, and generous offer.
I have had some in the distant past, 25 years so, and have a good idea of its shape, size and weight.
It is something to think hard on considering the mess only a little noodling creates.
I'm 67, and beginning to feel hard work in my hips. So even something many of you could easily man handle, the repetitiveness of so much, hurts thinking about it.
The wood is nice size for splits and it's clean.
Square chisel, I'm assuming would take a lot of time without a grinder. And if there is any dirt at all, I hear it really dulls it up quick. I should get a loop and try that as well to know first hand. I hear it cuts phenomenal, but no one I know uses it.
The last two log loads were just the opposite, quite small diameter. It was more difficult to remove from log pile with forks. Not a lot of mass to it, and would criss cross and snag under each other pulling out of the pile, vs rolling down the pile. Lots of pick up sticks, and a bit of hand loading on the forks made it quicker once the end of the pile was messed up. Made for a lot of cutting, and single splits. It's all good wood. Larger logs can have more rot, or be hollow. Each load is different. I have room for three loads, and usually buy two at a time, so what they bring I get two off.
I was wondering about skip tooth, as I've never even seen it, let alone used it. I do have a smaller saw, a 357 xp or 562 xp to try it on. I've been using both on the log decks. Run one till empty or needs sharpening, use the other. Otherwise one sits on the shelf.
In the past I considered a vertical/horizontal spitter mounted on an extended section of bench. Having bought the dump trailer, and about giving away the truck it replaced due to the repair bill, money is not available at this time. A processor is the goal, so trying not to get side tracked. Other non firewood projects this spring as well, which is why I'm not ankle deep in noodles yet.
Did I mention the cost of lumber? Holly crap!
