boom splitters That's a pretty neat rig. For lack of time, I've been buying my wood all split but if I get the time and logs sometime, I'll surely do something of this nature. Already have hoe and splitter. I've also got to look at a friends rig that says he's got a wedge rigged on his...

pallets with sides A friend gave me several pallets that are closed on all 4 sides, about 3 1/2 ft high but they're a pain to dig down in to get wood. I could take one side off but can't stack them on the porch anyway for lack of clearance. Smiley

, To protect my wood and keep some wind out, I got tired of putting up boards and plastic every year, so I built these drop down shutters with clear vinyl from Walmart. Just pull them up against the ceiling in the spring and drop them down before snow flies. Next year I'll put T-11 on the...

I didn't have time to get my firewood in because of putting on a new roof this fall so have to get it in now. Rather than throw it in the bucket then stack it on the porch, I decided to stack it on pallets then move them to the porch with forks on the loader, then into place with a pallet jack...

Having 6 cords of split wood to shorten for a different stove, I built the little firewood chop saw shown elsewhere in this forum. BlueRidgeMark said it would do the trick but would be slow and why didn't I build an oversize sawbuck to cut a bunch at once. I said yes that would be faster...

Mark, I had done the crib idea with some slab wood, but was trying to avoid stacking in the crib and sawing, loading and restacking. Now I just saw it and throw it in the loader bucket and dump it on the porch but!!! Now you've got me thinking. If I put the forks on, I could build a crib...

Up in the hills near Utica. I see you're in the Adirondacks. We built my house where it is, specificaly so we could see the Adirondack peaks from the living room & kitchen windows. Smiley

Pat, That sounds like the one the Judge is talking about, 3 or 4 replies back. Smiley

modifications to saw I made a couple modifications to the saw today; I added a foot pedal (board wired to the anti kickback chain) and the handy dandy grid that lets the sawdust drop into a box and the cutoff pieces fall into the coal skuttle. As crude as this thing is, it works great. I...

Off brand insert advice needed I picked this insert up 3 or 4 yrs ago for hauling it away. In spite of it's rusty appearance now, it appears to have had almost no use and the new owner of the house it was in, installed a pellet insert. I was scared off from installing it by the horror stories...

Judge, I had thought about doing it that way, but sort of liked the idea of the chop saw where the chunks remain stationary against the stop and the saw moves. Ham, If anyone put up a lot of wood, That rig looks like it would work out good and be easily adapted to make it a one man...

Ham, Here's the link to MEN, http://www.motherearthnews.com/Green_Home_Building/1982_May_June/Mother_s_Cordwood_Cutoff_Saw We had one of those tractor mounted buzz saws years ago, worked good but I didn't want to chase one down and buy it for one load of wood. Sedanman, I wonder how many...

Originally I was going to ask on this site if anyone had built anything like this. But, my registration got held up, so I went ahead and built this rig today. I got a load of wood that was cut for a different stove than I'm going to use it in now, so have to chop a few inches off each...
