Built this wooden bench with pallet lumber, slabs off the mill and some 55gal plastic barrels. A steel table and some recycled deck joists. We're looking at getting into processing firewood to sell. Not going big time, just want to dip our toes in and see how it goes. Slow and steady. So, we didn't want to spend $20-30K for a firewood processor yet. Build one first for no cost other than time, then see what happens.

of working on Sunday afternoon (sped up 8X). About 2 hours, we cut, split, stacked and stored 1.75 full cords. The wood I'm cutting is small, yes, it is. A recent thinning operation would o f left it on the forest floor. I couldn't leave it.
 
Man, what a great idea! I'll probably end up trying that saw on a hinge method.
