Firewood Pro Sizer

[CaseyForrest]

I bought one, haven't used it yet. Seems neat but I haven't yet developed a need beyond the accu-stick I currently use.

We were using lazer pointers 6-7 years back mounted the same way these new lazer boxes now mount to the saw handles. It was a trial run made up of a bicycle handlebar light clamp with a homemade fixture to mount the round cylindrical pointer with. It worked rather well in the woodyard, not a good choice to carry into the brush. It did get bumped often so resetting it was needed time to time, pull out a tape from the tool kit and a slight twist would reset it easily.

Perhaps I made a huge mistake one day when talking to a tree service sawyer. I told him when you double the diameter of a log, the weight quadruples (increases 4 times as much). After that, he started cutting everything too short -- 6" long chariot wheels up to 30" dia.-- wasting wood like a bandit. I guess he didn't care that he was doubling or tripling his cutting time and the wear and tear on his sawing equipment.

Better than spine surgery

And a video

I have a 16" piece of Pex attached to the bar with a natural earth magnet. Works fine for me. Appreciate the video though.

Use to do the 'stick' method, but the logs I always get were crooked and the stick wouldn't lay flat. I now use the 16" stud marks on a tape and a hatchet to make quick vees down the log at each stud mark.

This also came up earlier in a thread where someone did a review of various methods.

While I do like new gadgets and stuff, especially when related to firewood,flashlights,knives and so forth....I just got some material from Amazon and made a magnetic log length tool. Was able to make about 4 of them for other folks that cut for firewood and had about $11 each in cost....plus time. But now I'll probably look into that laser thing now. Thanks! Lol
