Do any of you guys make your own stuff? Here is a thingie I made in 2011 and has served me well since.

Makes firewood a little more consistent.
I always seem to make one then loose it in the pile about half way through.
Luckily by that time i can "eye" 16" out without it.
The Red tape will be attached to my next measuring stick! or some orange spray paint will do.

Whenever I “eye” 16 inches, I more often than not end up with 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 inches and every half and quarter inch in-between.

well in my case 14-18 is not a big problem, it will all fit in my fathers stoves.
Just keep a nice lil electric chain saw in the basement and you'll be fine

If you cut much firewood, I highly recommend the Mingo Firewood Marker. It is a great tool, and a huge time saver. We use ours on just about every tree job, Sherrill tree sells them and well worth the money.

Here is a simple vise for sharpening chainsaws. 1/4" thick piece of flat 4" wide, basic $5-6 toggle clamp, 4" piece of 1" angle iron, a couple strips of rubber, a 5/16" carriage bolt & washer, & a small piece of wood.




A block of 2x under the small saws centers the bar but is not a necessity.
