I jokingly told the wife I wanted 1 for Xmas and sure enought thsts what I got. Use it all the time. Just don't grab the white paint can in winter when it's snowing.
lol nice!! My firewood stack looks pathetic. Stuff sticking out everywhere. Almost want to cover it to hide that eye sore. Kinda looks like a blind guy cut it.
blame it on the frosties.My "calibrated peepers" are so accurate that my firewood always comes to an almost perfect 18 to 26 inches,,or somewhere close to that!
How does the cross cut length of the wood affect the straightness of the piece being cut or the straightness of your stack? Crooked wood is tough to stack and just need to be worked into the stack, no getting around that. I cant think of any reason slightly shorter chunks would effect the stack unless you are more than 6" shorter than the average length but even then a stray piece here or there stacks right in... I can eye withing 2-3 inches and thats good enough for me. It a large time investment already, I couldnt imagine how much extra time it would take to be so picky.I care, my stacks sit for 4 to 6 years, the straighter the wood, the straighter the stack, the longer it stays up.
I had this idea some years ago and tried to get oregon interested in it, but then I found out, very soon after that, that Stihl had already invented it. I *still* think it is spiffy neato cool.
The problem with that laser is if you tip the saw slightly left or right the laser reference changes and will make your pieces longer or shorter, then your back to the same issue. I fail to see how this is any better than my calibrated eye.
