looks great.  that thing is snappy, and by the time you felt and realized to let up, night be to late.  thumb is the most important digit.  having an opposable thumb is part of what sets some animals (us) above the rest.  see something say something.  thanks for being gracious about it.

This reminds me of why so many industrial machines require both hands pushing two N.O. switches to activate, it only takes once.

It's the only part of your statement I would challenge.  

[doc henderson]

yes, maybe only the opposable thumb part.   :D

Jim been following this piece of the thread since your decision to upgrade. That is one nifty machine and will outperform my single horizontal by a very long shot.
 It's a nifty machine and I really like your large staging and sorting tables, that was good planning! It almost seems to me that your are trying to drum up business for that builder with your videos by adding the attractive model with the mad sorting and splitting skills. Between the two of you switching places seamlessly as a tag team and moving things along you folks really crank out some wood. I know your video was a timed event for comparison, but I wonder how long you guys can keep up that pace?
 I do love that machine, especially the mobility aspects, pretty neat. Best of luck to you guys, you work hard and earn your income. Ain't no doubt about that.

Another Yellow Hammer and wife team.  ;D
Meaning you both know what the other wants without talking. 
Good job!!
You got me huffing and puffing just watching you two work.

Not trying to drum up business for the maker. But, I will give credit where credit is due. 
That is our normal pace.  We only look to do 1/2 or a cord a day. So we like to test ourselves regularly to see how quickly we can crank it out. Some days we do 1-1/2. On the rare occasion we do 2 cord.
Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, that's what happens when you've been together 24/7 in both work life and home life for the last 32 years.

I have cut a fair amount of firewood these past few weeks both from trees and from slabs. I haven't posted much because I've been so busy but it's a cold rainy day today so I'm inside. Here are a few pictures.

Looks great 👍

Jim, are those splitters available in the US? And just as they are? We were watching your video in the store this morning and were wondering how many safety buttons and levers the US would mandate on that splitter and ruin a good idea.  :-\

[SwampDonkey]

If it burns it's beautiful! I do draw the line at box elder....ugh!

I burnt some the first winter at the new house. I had an old one sprawling in the front yard. No way I was going to waste wood. It was warm. Even burnt some red pine. Red pine is good firewood, but a bear to split. It ain't straight grained like fir.

You'd have to reach out to the company that makes them to know for sure. So far as I know, no changes required.

[jimbarry]

Put two of our splitters up for sale yesterday. Split-Fire 255 and the EastonMade 12-22.

SwampDonkey- The BTU's were ok, but the acrid smoke and box elder bug infestation I can do without. 

Scott B.

[SwampDonkey]

Never experienced either here. Barely a puff of smoke from an efficient furnace.

Finishing up another stage of a friends ongoing pasture/field reclaim. He cuts them, and piles them up. We process his firewood and keep the rest. This is the last of the ugly hardwood, it's going to a buddy that wanted a deal on log length...

guess I needed to clean up the lens a bit


None of it was pretty, but the landowner is happy, my buddy got a few bucks for trucking a short haul, the guy getting the logs was happy, and I crossed 1 more loose end off my to do list!  2 or 3 loads.of pine that'll go to the farm for the OWB, then we reset till he starts the next section. Not getting rich doing this, but keeping up good relationships with neighbors and friends.

We did get.3 cord done off the processor this weekend too, 127 for the year so far.

[newoodguy78]

Can't put a price on good relations with friends and neighbors.

The older I get the more I realize just how valuable those good relationships are.

Can you correct your quote that takes up so much space? Not sure what caused that or what was intended. tks

On my screen cutterboy's post is 2 7/8" and yours is 2 5/16" when I hold a tape measure up to them ???

[barbender]

When I tap on cutterboy's quote, it is blank and takes 5 thumb strokes on my screen to get to where it has text.

[doc henderson]

there is a big space after the quote sign.  mine is small if collapsed and big if expanded.  he can go in and back space to the left of the quote until it backs up to the quote symbol.

The code that makes up the page shows a ton of html line feeds for the post.  They are shown as blank lines by the browser.

[SwampDonkey]

I think there were a bunch of line returns in the quote like his return key was stuck. :D  All fixed up. ;)
