Good almost afternoon fellas. It would be a nice day here for some cutting here as well. We're very near our high temp for the day right at 44f with the slightest of breezes.

 

[Hedgerow]

Looks to be the perfect day for volume firewood making. You guys be safe. Let the chips fly.

We damn near ran out of gas.
Just an FYI, that Duke’s chain you gave me?
562 is currently on tank # 10 from today.
We didn’t hit anything bad with it. Adjusted for stretch bout every other tank. Still cutting..
Thomas had to re fill my gas can on the way out.
Lurch had to mix up another batch.

 

[Hedgerow]

I did a rough Doug calculation on the pile.
Should end up around 16-18 cord once stacked.

And ole scrap iron finished the day, broken as *s-word..
gonna have to do some cutting and welding here shortly.. and Thomas’s splitters are still in tact for the most part.. we’ll call it a win.

 

[Hedgerow]

Anyone get any pictures?

Cuz I didn’t.

 

[Sawdust Man]

Glad you got er done.

About how many hands showed up?



Still pretty miserable here......we'd'a been totally worthless.

 

[Only the Tony]

Of the food of course.

Nice work guys!

Nice work guys!

There were some issues along the way..
But there was still a lot of wood split.

Gotta watch out for the bucket on the mini ex when cutting.. sorta kills a chain..

And my 4 way essentially trashed out the I beam on my splitter..
interesting thing we saw was Levi and Lurch kept 4 splitters busy for about 4 straight hours today..

Lurch was massaging his forearms when he stopped cutting I noticed. And as the day progressed the splits got bigger it seemed. I think Paul was getting tired as well. I know I was beginning to slow down. Got a good rhythm going with the boy after a while. Put a block of wood against the back of the splitter so we could push through all that stringy junk. I wish I had done it earlier, live and learn.

 

[Lurch]

After the second gallon of mix my arm started cramping a bit. Thomas saved me from the bucket tooth with a spare chain.

What ya think, 400 logs?

That *s-word was some stringy stuff for sure..

Not much left.

This is all that is left. Matt was thinking we started out with about 500 logs total. I know a few (10 to 15) went out on a trailer as well.

 

[Hedgerow]

So 50 left? Ish??

They probably had more coffee before starting.

 

[JimBear]

You fellas do nice work & got a lot done.

 

[Hedgerow]

They wrecked some chains early..
Adapted, and overcame..
