Oh, it is getting a new bar ASAP. The other one is too short.

I agree. I hate it when I have to cut a wedge out and take a second cut to get a limb off.

 

[Locust Cutter]

You guys SUCK!!!!!
I wish I could have made that charity cut. Silly Air Force requirements....:bang: It looks like it was a blast and I know it was for a good cause. I love cutting, but it's more fun when you can do it for a good and worthy cause, with great people!!!!! You guys are a hell of a bunch!

 

[workshop]

I have a bunch of pictures on my phone, just not smart enough yet to get to the computer. My wife will take care of that tomorrow. But the Charity Cut was GREAT. I got to run a couple of ported saws that were mindblowing. And the regular volunteers that came were in awe of the AS members. They have never seen so much wood cut and split in one day. My thanks are out to everyone that was able to come, and from so far away. It was a very humbling experience. There will be a lot of folks that will be toasty warm when it turns off cold and there are some that depend on it for cooking, too. Mo. Jim, I will get you some pictures of that load. I've been too tired to unload anything yet so I will do it tomorrow. Many thanks to the generosity of our members. I know one volunteer won't ever forget what Diggersdad did for him. But then, that's what members do sometimes.
My hat is off to everyone.
Thank you,
Steve

There is firewood (?) available from the GTG. Almost all seasoned. Needs a home.

In a different context, many people will never forget what DiggersDad did to them.

Alive and well, just took on some extra jobs. I may have to get my sponsorship turned back on so I can talk about it.

Going to Wigg's with Matt this weekend. I'll try to be around here a little this week.

Dan I got none of that rain you called about.

It was a fun! Thanks for the ride Matt! There wasn't too many pics because so much work was getting done. Man I'm sore today! Anytime you work with a guy that limbs with a 562XP you know he is serious about getting stuff done, Man can stuff ALOT of wood threw a splitter! Got a couple of neat saws too thanks Mark and Steve

One step closer to Jasper. Finished this for the wife Friday.

 

[Lurch2]

We were workin too hard to take pictures. Besides, nobody did anything really stupid that we had to have proof of. :msp_scared:
For anybody undecided on these things it's worth the trip.

Diggersdad and Lurch2.
4th pic is just for Mo.Jim. There you go buddy.
Oliver1655's production wood splitter. His and Hedgerow's splitter's are the best I've seen. Lot's better than my homebuilt job.

My latest toy I just got. 1980 CJ5. It wasn't at the cut but I just had to show it off.
More pics of wood.
Hinerman's son and Diggersdad's sons taking a break. They sure did work hard over at the splitters and then PLAYED with hand splitting rounds. I wish I had their energy. I bet they slept good last night.

Hedgrow running the splitter, background left is his 562? Husqvarna. That thing is, ummmm, no words to describe how fast that thing is. Sure left a smile on my face.
Hinerman with volunteers in the background.
No we're not cutting from the tractor bucket, just used it to get up high enough to tie in ropes.

Cobey's having a good time.
Putting up more ropes.
Lurch2 getting some more run time.
Really had a good time, good food, great company.
We're looking at doing another in November, not sure of date yet but will try and make it early enough so as not to interfere with Thanksgiving day holiday.
I have to say it again, you guy's are the best.
Thank you for everything you did.
Steve

Looks like you all had a fun and productive day. Work can be fun. Wish I could have made it. :msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin:
