Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[LondonNeil]

oh carp....the end fell off my wood stack. I caught it and stopped a complete collapse and restacked the end but...it won't last. the stack also has a rather large bulge in it. I'm wishing I'd got around to building some racks now. I can feel a wasted hour or 2 restacking coming on.

How do you get the sticks out after you cut them up?

In this case, we just cut them up enough to get them up on the bank. Their main fear was that more water would cause the creek to dam and back up.

Other folks cut them into shorter lengths for removal or chipping.

Yeah I have the same prob here at times, when I get around to building my wood shed it will be set up so this isn't an issue anymore (I think I will have 2 or 3 or even 4 bays) where I can stack all different types of wood from ready to burn to slightly green and different sizes from starter wood to overnighters. Whatever it is it will be simple but effective and keep everything tidy instead of the mess it is at the moment.

svk: Happy anniversary!

I was cutting and splitting yesterday and my wife stacked it in the lean to. Somehow the stack came down so quickly you would have thought a bomb went off. Starting again was a joy !

Re: outside clutch - That is the prime reason all of my saws except a Husky top handle are Stihls.

I run Stihls and McCullochs. I will say this for having a Stihl for a 2nd saw versus an axe - it makes a way better chock. Ron

Those 046's are great saws, very durable!

 

[woodchip rookie]

That means you dont have to carry jackstands either.

So that's what you use those orange things for! I've got 3-4 of them and they just sit under my Cuda. On stuff like that I use my Super 1050 or my Mac 550.

Actually an 036Pro. Hurt the plastics a little. MAC SP125C put it on the ground with a little side trimming with the 036Pro. SP125C and PM800 sliced it up. Deere rescued the Stihl.

That’s either a tiny saw and a toy tractor or a monstrosity of a tree!!

I should have looked a bit better .
Those rounds looks so skinny when they are that tall lol.
Did you get it the 036 fixed up.
The plastics on mine look pretty clean.
Hopefully I didn't post these before, sorry if so guys.
This was a scrounge anyway lol.

Gotta hope none of those rounds get away , they'd total that barn .

I could see an 8 pin rim with a 24 being a good setup for the 7910. Mine pulled a 32 buried and didn't seem like it was even working hard yet.

I would work the chain a bit rather than going with an 8 pin, on a 20 it would do fine though.
But maybe we have different standards .

The4235 Hillsboro Pike #300 plastics on mine look pretty clean.

Used my wife’s blow dryer and got it presentable. Ron

I do my best to avoid them great biggun. Lot of wood comes out but a lot of time and effort goes in.

You got that right. Ron

Not if you smarter than tree.

Been there with a few projects, needed something to heat up the decals and I don't have a heat gun, but she has a commercial hair drier.
Glad it was okay, those are great old saws. I just got another 026 last week, and I'm a husky guy .

 

[rwoods]

Had it since new. Has never failed me. Ron

I would rather drop rakers than run a larger pin. Less friction.
