But GREAT kindling, mulch, hamster bedding, oil absorbent, 'excelsior' for shipping chainsaws, etc.!
Noodling is a good option when the individual finds the rounds too big to handle, or does not have access to certain equipment.

Not noodling Everything guys, just cutting the bigger stuff in half so I can pick it up and put it on the splitter without blowing out my nut sack.

Mill 'em, nails be damned.
None other than our health minister was pinged for this just the other day. What a plonka. PM took his minor portfolio off him and said she would have dropped him as health minister if not for the disruption during these critical times. So I guess there'll be a post-lockdown demotion of the covidiot. If we all have to be tarred with a one-size-fits-all brush then it's great lockdown entertainment to see the health minister getting sprung for being such a jackass.
I'm 2L short of resin for the coffee table but a mate is going to lend me some. We've found a supermarket inbetween us where we can both bump into each other (at a safe distance) while we happen to be shopping for essentials. It got me wondering, if the police put extra CCTV cameras in supermarket carparks if they'd catch an increased number of drug dealers, etc.
We also had a somewhat disturbed individual filming himself as he walked around a supermarket coughing and sneezing at/on people. He thought is was funny. He was found, charged and before the court in a matter of just a few days. If only justice worked that quickly all the time.
Yep. Noodling is usually the fastest and easiest way to get rounds down to a loadable size out in hte boonies. My favorite noodler is the 441 with an old clutch cover that does not have a chain catcher on it. Noodles don't bind up there then and shoot out like a machine gun. It does take a SHARP chain though, not one of the ...oh well, a couple more cuts and then I'll sharp it.
Glad your back and are ok. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
I split the big stuff vertical for that purpose.
I will agree with that, lots of hamster bedding.
Same here. I got chastised on another site for noodling ash rounds because they are so easy to split.
The 1/4's were prolly Stihl 50 lbs each. Work smarter not harder.
Works alright on fairly level ground when you're in the yard. Gets to be A LOT of work wrestling them into place in the woods where there's brush and stumps and uneven ground.
Day 1 of being out and about...turned out to be for shopping and doc appointments only. 3 stops at the pharmacy to sort out meds, Doc for a appointmeent. Wal Mart - failure as nothing I wanted there, Winco for a $30 tab of staples. Killedd the whole morning and an hour of driving. I was glad to have the shopping cart to lean on by teh time I got to the check out stand at Winco. Legs said I need just a wee bit more recovery.
Tomorrow is chain sharp day and MAYBE process teh last load of locust limbs I hualed in. Should be about an hours work with the limbwood jig, cut/stack.
It is rather weird wandering around with a bunch of stuff hanging off my jugular vein. Gotta get that covered up so I can at least take a shower. Neighbor supposed to stop in and applay a waterproof cover this evening...too bad I can't convince her to wash my back

I keep a maul handy, if I swat it 5-6 times and all it does is bounce back, that's enough.
Yes, depends on conditions and what means you have to drag logs into the open.
Good to have you back as our inspiration. We would all do well to cut the wood you do every year and should all hope someday to have the same stash of Armageddon black locust.

It’s good to hear this.
And maybe ask the neighbor nicely.

These 572 clutch covers are sweet.
Sexy! This is the "97" 2065 closed port with the Zama. Was hoping it was a walbro but this will get rejetted and be happy. It stumbles a little when throttling up.

My ported Asian 660 w/square file will noodle large rounds much faster than you could position them under the vertical splitter! I cut them to within an inch then hit them in the cut with the X-27 and they pop right apart. With the vertical splitter, half the time you have to rotate them 180* and split them again!
I think British covidiocy beats that. The Scottish Chief Medical Officer {was likely forced to] resigned today....after being exposed by the papers for breaking her own rules about not going to holiday homes.... She had taken her family off to hers for the last two weekends. Scottish government have pulled the TV and campaign.... The chief medical officer was the one on camera doing all the talking.
And now...... Boris is in intensive care..... Seems someone on Whitehall didn't social distance very well.... Boris might be regretting the early 'let it rip' policy.... Seems it might not just affect the proletariat after all.

Having 2 guys splitting makes handling those big rounds a lot easier. But it ain't worth popping a nut over. I only noodle the stuff I can't wrestle safely.

Hope he makes it through OK but I'm told once someone with Kung Flu hits the ICU the mortality rate is rather high.
Mike, that might be why I’ve never gotten quite the mileage you do. My gross towable is almost 8000. Something like 7890. I must have an option you don’t. I think I have 350 or 355 gears?
