Morning all! A bit breezy which will help to dry things out.

Initially I was planning to build storage boxes for the log bucking trailer to raise the walkway up around 14-16". Now thinking back to the 6" thick layer of wood chips that was packed under the walk-board we used to test with, I'm thinking it might be better to make it out of expanded metal so the saw operator will not have to stand on the wood chips.

Poll:
1 - Storage boxes to haul saws, other wood gathering equipment.
2 - Expanded metal to allow wood chips to fall through.

The expanded metal works great, but I'd hate for ya to lose the storage...
Put me down for a not sure..

Couple of sliding feet would keep chips off top of boxes
Like hedgerow said the storage is nice to have

I guess me or one of the other smokers could rake chips off during smoke break.

Storage it is. Thanks!

Do you think taking the trailer to the Iowa GTG to demo would be worth it?

 

[jerrycmorrow]

thinking with the expanded metal you'd still have a goodly amount of chips to contend with; mostly of the large variety. you still gonna have to sweep with yer feet.
i'd go with the storage (make sure you've got a way to lock it just to keep honest people honest) but its your call.
btw, i'm totally impressed with your device. way to go

Yup.. Alex will have his splitter there among others to set around it..
Would make a nice all in one demo...

Coffee break!!!
Where's that broom???

 

[Oliver1655]

In the storage box. A push broom or straw broom?

I would just take the trailer. I figure there will be plenty of splitters on hand.

 

[Oliver1655]

Smoke break, Is this is when Steven takes a break from smoking?

With so much saw dust in the air already, I think sticking to a broom would be better. I ate more dust than I wanted last Saturday while splitting at Hedge's cut.

I'm working on making the Mansfield cut and will bring a Super Split.

& maybe a Husqvarna or three...

We are back in business.


Over 24" sweet gum. Tested the XP-1000 under load.


New .404 makes big chips.

Ormondo (tree guy) has an Echo CS670 he can live without. Bring it back by later.

Echo cs670? Hmmmmmm.

His main 'big' saw is a ms 441. I bet 10 USD to a donut it replaced the Echo.........................................

I spent six hours at the VA hospital getting my gimpy leg looked at. I have a appointment with a vascular specialist to find out if they have to operate on it. I told them I had to be healed up by the third week of April as I had plans for the last week. Oh well sounds like a personal problem to me.
On a brighter note,I stopped at the neighbors when I got back and scored a plate of fresh caught catfish filets and deep fried sliced potatoes.
