used splitter from home depot, new saw (me the newbie)

[pacman]

Im just a newbie starting a fire wood business, just wanted to share some pics. Used log splitter I but at the homedepot $700 .It has split every thing I put under it including some 3 ft round 2feet thick white oak . New saw too cuts like butter and it "is" a real worker !

Congradulations on the new equipment. If you haven't already, I would advise you to always keep your eyes open for a nice piece of land to run your business out of and store the cut wood. A lot of us yankees are heading for your state and this will only drive your real estate prices up.
Just a thought.

Pacman,

equipment looks good. I am very happy to see you using eye and ear protection that unfortunately too many people neglect. Safety is #1.

Mike,
Is this your first year in business? How many cords of wood are likely to sell in a year?

Small edit here> For us 'dial-up dinos' resizing your pics makes it sooo much easier to have a look-see, you can copy them into any 'paint'-type program then use 'save as... JPEG' which will usually bring them down to around 100kb, or use a free resourse like Irfanview (a resizing utility many people use)

Perhaps you already have them, but if not, do yourself a favor and get some steel toe boots for working in. Probably you have some already, but you first pic is shoes. Good luck with the business, and congrats on the new equipment.

I dont know how many I can sell a year yet.(my 1st year ) but im going to cut and split for the next couple of months. Thanks for the reply !.....Do you have any ideas for me ?

I've got a splitter similar to that one, I bought it used 15 years ago and it's still splitting. Only God knows how many cords it has split. Do your maintenance and it will last a long time.
In the second pic I like the old cars in the back ground, makes me feel at home.

please tell me you guys are gonna do something with that old chevy!

It belongs to my unckle . He has lots of stuff there . I just go out there to cut the wood and trees that has fell down ( yeppie ! lol ) :biggrinbounce2:

Looks like you are off to a good start, just go out and have some fun. Make some fliers to put up in your local stores and the customers should come in no time. I was suprised to find out how many people wanted wood in my area. If you are close to a city the better, prices go up because wood is harder to come by. Good luck and keep the pics comin.

Do you have any ideas for me ?

Yes, get ahold of some local tree services to get them to drop off wood to your lot. Do you get your wood for free right now?

 

[pacman]

thanks !
