Yezz sir! That is some miserable arse wood but it sure does burn nice

 

[shelbythedog]

That is an awesome noodling stand, well done!

When I saw the first picture, I expected a story of difficult splitting, but I did not expect the clever noodling station. Neat!

sure is, and it is my next project. All these years I have jury rigged one in various ways - none that were really successful.

Fat wedges suck. Just sayin!




What model Poulan does that Craftsman cross over to?

 

[blades]

Thin wedge with a spreader behind == no problem for stringy wood like Elm.

A real man woulda split that by hand.......... :msp_wink:

 

[mainewoods]

That elm brings back a lot of bad memories. But if it's all you have and it's free-------

 

[mainewoods]

That sure is a nice lookin' splitter though.

The Fiskars owners are sharpening up as we speak.

Im pretty sure its a 3400 but it might be a 3700 too. I put it together from a box of parts saws of the same sort. Not really sure how to tell the difference between the two though

I have an X27 and all it does is stick after the first swing. This heres definitely noodl'n territory

Like Those Rounds You Have (Had)

I like those rounds you had - maybe something is wrong with me but Elm is just about my favorite to burn. Notice I said to burn - splitting is another matter. My splitter does the hard work.

You all have a good one.

I did some noodling a couple weeks ago. My 5T electric won't quite handle the big ones. New Husky 550 XP really throws the noodles.

Thick wedge and American elm is the problem.
A thin sharp wedge and even American elm isn't to bad.

Noodling can be fun though but it wasn't for me today noodling 2 very large poplars at work all day.
Then having to haul it all was even less fun.

A Chomper would have sheared that no problem..... Leon??????

 

[ShaneLogs]

That's an awesome saw.
