Talked to Denny yesterday. He is pumped up after hearing about the cutting trailer that was at Treemonkey's last weekend. Pele and 5R have been talking about a trailer build-jonsered raket may have a steel connection. With the weather what it is we may take a few days from work and head to Denny's before Xmas. He has plenty of half-done woodpiles that need to be cleaned up. It would be awesome to get the yard in shape before winter returns to Sconnie and to have a processing trailer done by spring to help streamline his woodcutting operation!

I might stop up and visit Andy and Sarah today. I have been wanting to discuss some processor trailer ideas with Andy.
What are your thoughts as far as ownership/construction costs? Seems like we need to hold a another AS council meeting to discuss this further.........

AS council meeting sounds good to me. After the week I just had, I'm due for some fun.
As for ownership, I have no interest in owning it. I think it would be good to keep at Denny's, use as needed and transport to events when needed.
I will kick in some time, some money and some materials. It is a project bigger than I could commit to do alone(in a timely manner).
I have a few opinions and ideas on design I would like to share but I will defer to the council and more senior members on decisions.

But that rack could hold some firewood off the ground. Say, . . . Maybe that's where the term 'bucking' came from!

I'm open this next weekend I think, after Xmas day.
I'm with DF, I'll chip in time/parts/$ toward the build. Might be one day a year I'd want to have use of it.

You should put that over on the outdoor/hunting forum.

Nice looking buck he got there, should be proud of it. I'm going for hernia surgery on Tuesday so I'll be out of commission for a bit but when I get better I'm in for helping build a bucking trailer. And yes we should have a council meeting soon.

Was able to get 4 others to help out this weekend get wood for Tundra Mike (He has a Toyota Tundra-that's how I tell the 2 people I know named Mike who heat with wood apart, the other one is Officer Mike with the military truck). Here is one of the 3 loads he took, plus one of the helpers hauled what he could in the back of his Ford Ranger when they went to unload. Another person who helped took a load of dry elm to one of his neighbors who heats with wood and is having heath issues and doesn't have much wood.
Mike was down to a day or 2 of wood left and here's the results, plus the local with the Ranger had us come and pick up another pickup and trailer load of wood at his house after I took these pictures, so Mike got 4+ loads of wood, thinks it will last him 1-1 1/2 months.
Then after lunch Mike hauled a load of dry ash over to a relative of mine who lived a few miles away from where we got the wood from. If the weather holds out and/or we can still get into the woods we'll be doing this again, so stay tuned. Mike has a load of logs on order and his propane tank is full, but the load of logs is "whenever we can get one for you" and he'd rather not use the furnace until he has to.
