Firewood Saw

[Gypo Logger]

Hi there I was just wondering if this saw would be good for blocking up a bit of firewood and if the 17" bar is to long?
Thanks in advance.

Just another angle.

You might have better luck in hard wood with this one:

LMAO,

Did you get that one in your stocking one Christmas John? Mind you, I think you would have a pretty hard time bogging that one, no matter what you were cutting!

Ha, if you put that tiny li'l easterner's bar on my Greffardized 3120, you'd have to be Lennox Lewis on 'roids to keep 'er in the power band.

Course, iff'n you wuz Lennox, I' d say yu could afford a real bar....

Hey John,
Have you had a chance to time your cuts with that little bad boy?
I bet it is so fast that it's over before you can fully depress the start button on your watch!

Hi Tony, I havent bit into anything yet with that 17" frenchfrier, however, being woodfibre challenged I haven't much to say, but I bet it'll blast thru an Apple Fritter in .03 sec.

You'll have to talk to Rupedoggy about that 084. It's his saw. Walkerized, Madsenized, and tweaked by KD. That there's an 8" bar with 1/4" chain. Hard to slow down in the cut.

Guys,
The way I see it is for you to put those saws up against each other to see who is the "Mightest of the Small Bar"

Gypo, if that 999 didn't sell on ebay I bet a shorty bar would work good on that to!

I have a 12" bar around here somewhere. Need to see if it'll fit on the 111...

 

[John Lambert]

Hi 084, I was thinking of that too. The 999 has the same mount as the big Stihls. I will be sending the 999 off to Ken Dunn so he can make a wood saw out of it. He says it will cut as well as a redone 2100. Rupedoggy has another 8" bar that I can put on it, specially designed for neutering Tasmanian Devils.

Love that "All washed up" look, Johnny

Maybe Denise will go out with ya, specially after Dennis dunks ya in the birling pond!!

Reminds me of my water chasing days, back in 72, for a gyppo in the islands off Ketchican. One nice thing was, down on the water, the bugs weren't as bad as up on the landing or out setting chokers. My lord, there was so many of them around, that i think their total mass was bigger'n me.

Think that beast with the 8 inch bar would work on this li'l stick?:

How would you even go about moving such a large tree? I can't imagine a helicopter picking that one up. Any guess as to the weight of that thing?

 

[rbtree]

Cedar only weighs about 28-35 lb per cubic foot. So, a cedar log averaging only 15 feet in diameter and 30 feet long would weigh at least 150000 lb,or 75 tons.

now, if that were fresh cut young redwood/sequoia, which weighs ~64 lb per cu foot.....due to its incredible moisture carrying properties. I doubt if old growth carries that much water, at least in the heartwood.

The 24 foot sequoia log we craned out weighed over 12 tons. it was 9 feet in diameter at the base and about 3.5-4 feet at the top. I didn't weigh a one cubic foot piece of it, but would say it was over 50 lb per, based on the log dimensions.

Now that firewood season is upon us and prices are so high, I can only imagine how much will be stolen this year.
Anyway, talking about theives there was this small community in Alberta and the town was dotted with little shacks and the owners of those shacks were rather poor. Mostly because they drank too much. And it was common to steal from their neighbours woodpile when the weather turned nasty.
Someone took a little too much wood from Ole Frenchy's woodpile, so he put a sign on it that said, " ONE OF THESE STICKS OF WOOD IS LOADED WITH DYNAMITE."
He thought that was a smart way of keeping the thieves out of his firewood, but one morning he went out to get an armfull of wood and there was another sign on the pile that read. "THERE ARE TWO STICKS OF DYNAMITE IN THIS WOODPILE!"
When I last looked that pile was still there rotting away.

I heard that one a few years ago, only the firewood was watermelons. . .

John, glad that you bumped this thread, maybe you can help me. My Jred 670 keeps burning out the sprocket tips on my 8" bars. What am I doing wrong?
