Edge of the North Firewood
Приєднався 8 гру 2015
Edge of the North Firewood will give you an inside look at all aspects of making and/or selling firewood. You will see where and how I get wood, how I process it, techniques I use to make the most of my time, tips regarding the equipment I currently use, and more. I hope you find the content extremely helpful and at least mildly entertaining.😀
A little about me: I grew up around the firewood business and helped family members as a teenager. A few years ago I got back into it and have learned a lot in a short period of time. But there’s much more to learn. And more importantly, much more expensive equipment to be bought!😆 If you make large amounts of firewood, you know what I mean!

I keep on hearing this phrase. Let’s unpack it, or maybe repackage it and send it back.😄👍

I’ve got a unique order to fill of one cord of unsplit logs. I do knock a few in half with my axe to make sure they split easy enough (for the customer). #axe #firewood #chainsaw #chainsawman #ashwood #logs

How to identify oak pallets for repurposing
Okay, this is all kinds of wrong…why would you file your rakers before you did the teeth? You file the rakers after the teeth, with a depth gauge, which is measured off of tooth lenth… Use a vice, or keep the bar on and wedge it against a wall or corner…
I usually do the rakers before the cutters, so good point. As for your other advice, I don’t use any equipment (gauges, etc.) to sharpen except for files and an electric dremel (a lot nowadays). I’ve got my own style that works for me. It came through time and processing hundreds of cords of firewood, which I still do. Take a look at other videos on my channel. 👍👍 Thanks for commenting.
My man, you are breathing too heavy for just filing a chain..
Do you see my breathe? Do you see my jacket and beanie? Do you hear my voice, and my nose sniffing? It’s probably about -15 out when I’m shooting this video. That impacts one’s breathing. So there’s that 💪🤓

Right on Brother !
You betcha! 🤠🤠
right below the tip on the bottom where you touch your saw to logs, most wears out ,,, but I guess you just buy those logs off someone ??? but if you cut the trees as I did for years don't notch them and cut from the back half way and some of the larger ones will split 10 - 12 feet saves splitting ARE those ash???? it burns too hot for Tenn but it sure does store a long time I am a fat boy also but I am trying to lose weight too many beans???? Thank you. I worked on saws 37 years I did not look close at yours but I have an 026 wood saw that is the best stihl ever made it screams !!!
Haha! Just got done with a bowl of beans. My theory is my belly’s mainly full of hot air. Thanks for commenting! Sounds like you’ve got some years of experience under your belt and I could learn a thing or two from ya. Tennessee is beautiful 👌 I’ve been there once, to Franklin. I also know someone who lives in Cookeville. You must be southern TN for ash wood to be too hot for ya?? I thought it got pretty cold there, especially in the Appalachias??
@@dlfuller2 I lived in the woods 2.5 years in the early 80s in Marion County Sequatchie a little town right above Jasper all I had to cut wood was a double-bitted axe.. it was colder back then ... Global warming is real we get hail almost every storm now ... Less UV rays filtered out creates faster and more complete evaporation of sea wathe causing higher thermal updrafts freezing more hailstones causing more rain and floods with stronger tradewinds locking high-pressure systems in place causing droughts ... It's complicated??? sort of ...But As being in the Bible belt with MANY reverse-engineered (backward People ) I also started studying the Bible right after I left the woods Rev 11:18 the B-Part tells us "and the time came for God to destroy those destroying the Earth" See I share what I believe everyone should know .. thank you ... Hey I got some o21 that were ethonol burned and put 025 heads and pistons on them they were in a league of their own!!! Hollar if you think of something!!!
I consider myself a weekend warrior. Self-taught also, so i suppose i get under the worst category 🤣 And for all of those who want to learn : "It has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime What better place than here, what better time than now?"
Precisely my friend!👌And because of your time and experience, you’re legit. Not because of a certificate or title 👍
Small town mentality, "we feel safe and the criminals are nervous " after all we DO KNOW THEM!!!😂😂😂😂
Learning by doing ain't a bad way to get through life.
100% agree with ya!!🫡
Watching the video❌ Vibing to song✅
Good talk- sage advice my friend 🇺🇸
Thank you sir!!🫡 ..always appreciate ya
I will give you credit sir watch quite a few of these and it just looks like they're just wailing away with no technique you definitely have technique.... Perfect splits on that one
I appreciate that!!🫡
Talk about, git’er done !! 👏👏👏
Thank you sir!!🫡
In Australia we dont even use axes because they have no where nere enough weight for force for our dense hardwood. We use block splitters
I’ll bet! Heard you guys got a lot of Eucalyptus over there, for one. Top notch👌
@dlfuller2 yeah we don't use that stuff, we use alot of the other gum strains though
That hard maple Burns so nice and Hot 🔥
I know! It’s one of the best👌
Thanx for sharing !
Some Open-air gym ?😉
For sure 😄 When I miss a day I feel it! And I get grumpy 😅
Nice content
Thank you! 🤠👍
Nothing splits wood like Fiskars
Yessir 💯
Yes Sir, Gransfors Bruks axe?
@@rockchalk9078I haven’t tried one, but have heard they’re top notch👌🤠 Have you tried Fiskars X27?
That hard maple Burns so nice and Hot 🔥
@@dlfuller2 I've handled them before, but the general consensus in the self reliance and servival/bushcraft circles (witch I'm part of) there are a few starting with Grans, Whetterling, and the old which is hard to find is the Norlands Hudson Bay axes. If one works with either 3 of those you'll have any need for anything else. But in the end anything works if on a budget or that's all you have available providing it has a good tempered steal to it.
That saw sinks itself in the wood nicely 👍 I sweat a lot too, so hot&humid is a no-go for me 😵💫 Some good quality firewood there ! Thanx for sharing !
Thanks bro for always watching and commenting! I appreciate it! Yeah, that white ash is fun to work with.💪😎And hand splitting it makes you think you’re Paul Bunyan Jr. Does Beech split easy or no? We actually don’t have any here in north central Wisconsin.
@@dlfuller2 No problem, i really like your content. Beech splits pretty easy as long it is still fresh(also goes for hornbeam) And i always split my firewood by hand 😉
@@DeadWoodLogging6996oh wow, by hand huh? You must be in shape! And Hornbeam? We call that Ironwood over here. Ostrya virginiana is the Latin name I believe. If we’re talking about the same species.
@@dlfuller2 Hornbeam is also known as ironwood (lat. Carpinus), and ironwood suits it just right 🤣 Yeah, well handsplitting is a good exercize, but i'm not a great fun of that-goes with the job...
@@DeadWoodLogging6996oh ok, yeah we call that Musclewood or Blue beech, even though it’s not true Beech. // you saving up for a hydraulic splitter, or no?
💪
🤙
👍
Husqvarna tho👍
Hey man, I accept you anyway😆
Pants since 3350 bc 😂
Haha 😆 well there’s 2 problems with that. 1, I wear pants 99.9% of the time and still get chips in my boots 🥾 I do a lot of wood, every day. 2, when it’s 90 degrees and 60% humidity pants’ll kill ya!
Old school Metallica fan 🤘
👏
🤣👍
😅👍
That’s a new one 👍
Yeah works great! Them chips hurt like heck in your boots all day. // You making any wood this Summer??
All truth
Interesting video 😉 What a lot of people don't know is that producing firewood is a LOT of work (not always hard work), but it consumes a lot of time and demands a certain amout of effort every single day, so persistence is the key. You gotta love it do be doing it ! Thanx for sharing !
For sure! And I’d say it’s mostly really hard work, right?😅 // What kind of Winters you guys got over there??
@@dlfuller2Gotta love what we do in order to do it, right ? 10 years ago, winter started mid october and lasted till april, with heavy snow and temperatures below 20c°. Last winter we had 2 days of snow and temperatures of about -5c°, so no more winter here.But instead we've got floods, droughts, morning frost in may and heat up to 40c° in the summer, so who needs winter, right...? 🤔
@@DeadWoodLogging6996haha! Yeah, who needs it? Actually that’s kind of strange 🤔 Has that affected business at all?
@@dlfuller2 Sadly, yes.Last 2 years, sales are way way down...
@@DeadWoodLogging6996sorry to hear that man. 😏 and you’re mostly firewood? Or sawlogs?
Logalanche 👍 Great pickaroon action !
Thanks bro! 😎
That pickaroon is the way to go- looks like one of those nice German tools. 🇺🇸(Quality counts, none of that cheap🥡 junk)
Yessir! It’s hickory 👍. I think it’s made in the USA, but same difference 💪
Yeah, i know this very well...good job man !
Thanks man! 💪😊
Awesome ! Good hand 🤙
nice yard! keep up the hard work!
Thank you!🙏😊 Will do 👌
Refreshing- could use some of the white stuff now! Bring on Fall
Haha! Where abouts you live anyway Micah? I’m in North-Central Wisconsin.
NIce !!!
Haha! 💪thx bro
🤘
🙂↕️
I try to cut trees down in winter and start harvesting it in the spring. It's not always fun to work in the bush in the winter but if it's worth it
For me it’s funner in the Winter than in the Summer 👍
@@dlfuller2 yeah, I guess that depends on the area and how brutal the winter is. We get waist deep snow and -30 degrees Celsius or lower.
@@ChampionFirewoodManitobaI’m in northern Wisconsin, so not much different. 👍👍
That would ruin your day- and your chain ! 🇺🇸
Yessir it would! Could potentially cause an injury too I think. 🤔 Hope you’re enjoying your summer my friend. Thanks for watching and commenting!
🤘
Liftoff 😂 Cool choice of music 🤘
And there goes the pickaroon...🤣
I only show some of my bloopers 😂
😎
Oak takes the longest to dry, but lasts the longest ! All You said is true ! Thanx for sharing !
Yes 👍 oak’s my favorite. Thanks for watching!
Working in the summer rain can be cool sometimes. Good work man !
You’re right! I was doing that earlier. But then it started raining too hard and flooded everything. Stay safe my brother 💪
Nice woodpile !
Thank you sir! 🫡
Gotta love the Santa 😉
Yep he’s real 😄
I do it exactly the same ! Although i don`t lower my rakers that much, because my chainsaw stalls in hardwood then. I didn`t try the grinder sharpening yet, still under consideration. Thanx for sharing !
Haha! Thats pretty cool. I found another sharpening twin. Keep up the good work bro! 👍👍
@@dlfuller2 U2 Bro !
Thanx for sharing !
My pleasure!
