Sell the 22" wood to someone who can use it, then cut and split some 18" wood for her. Less work, more money. Just thinking about what she's asking you to do is making my head hurt. I also agree with the point others have made, cutting a bunch of split wood pieces in half with a chainsaw isn't safe. It's the wrong tool for a stupid job.
Giving this a little more thought, and thinking what I would do if this were my problem, I think I would recommend cutting the wood down to 18", or what would fit the stove. That is way easier to do than cutting it in the middle. Nothing is really lost as you could still burn the 4" pieces in little chunks. Just make an 18" jig and cut off what sticks out (safer to hold), and it would be way easier to re-stack as it would only take half the time. Put all the little pieces in a card board boxes. It's easy to be penny wise and pound foolish in a case like this.
+1 on the above. Don't cut it in half. How would you stack it? Just shorten the wood to the appropriate length and the nubs can get thrown in boxes or crates. When you say "cords" are you referring to full 128 cu foot cords or face cords? Doing this to four full cords of wood is going to be a huge job. She should've gotten a stove that fit the wood.
its 4 full cords.. and i told her the same thing about the stove. shes not very bright, but that might be due to her age, i will run the 18" idea by her though.
Mitre saw will be quieter, safer, easier, uses her electricity, no chains to sharpen, more precise, easier on the back, faster, no setting up jigs and fixtures ......... you get the point.
Agreed on all counts. But you know, I do a lot of carpentry. This here is a chainsaw forum, so I think most really DON'T get the point, or don't WANT to. :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
Don't want the moderator's to move this thread to the carpentry forum, LOL.
That is a great idea, that isnt too hard to do, never thought of that, thanks!
