This is Kenny from Western North Carolina. I watched you burn up all that gas and enjoyed your work ethic. I agree. There's nothing like a good day's work could possibly be the most satisfying thing in life. Stay safe
Great video today full of life lessons. First off, many people would have called it a rain day and went to the house, instead you were able to get a full day of work in as well as take advantage of the good weather. Lesson- never put of until tomorrow what you can do today. The second lessons were from the Amish sawmill story. They took responsibility for their mistake and dusted themselves of and went back to work. Lesson- take responsibility and never let a setback deter you from your goals. Great video.
You are a machine!!! You remind me of a younger version of my dad (he's 84) and still heats his house with firewood. That's about the best compliment I could give anyone. Keep it up and be safe 😁
I sincerely hope your customers appreciate all the work you do to help them keep warm. Again, seeing this and knowing what is involved for firewood production, I have massive respect for firewood people. (whatever that proper term might be) The little bit I do for my wife and me is enjoyable, these past few days I've been enjoying the fires from my efforts. I need to go get some breakfast, I'm tired from all your work! I'm sitting here this morning so I can "watch you do some work again"... (30:30) LOL, Yes, I am good at that, thank you for recognizing my talent.
That big one is the size of the pallet I use as the base of my wood rack in the house over winter. I stack it high and get about a cord on there. Old leaky cracked woodstove insert... use more wood than necessary
Chris you never have been or will be a failure ... you're a legend... I'm sitting at home in a moonboot with a torn achillies ... wishing I could get into my fire wood. I was dropping a huge old manpine 7'+ through the stump ...it started to go pulled the 880 out and started running on a 45 deg slope and "Pop" caution that. So i'm watching you rather than work ..chainsaw by proxy.
That was a nice commentary. Glad you guys are having some fun or had fun. I didn't even check the time or date . This is Kenny from Western North Carolina
my back is aching just watching you, well done ! been trying to get my pile stacked but haven't been getting much time to do it. two more days sawmilling and i'll be done there then maybe i can get my wood done
Nice work Chris! This week in here in west Michigan, high 80’s and humid. Not my favorite weather but I am on the top side of the dirt and love to work. Plow ahead and stay safe. 😊👍🏻
@@InTheWoodyard I agree, I work at a lumber yard outside and 50 to 60 with low humidity is the best weather. Hoodie and jeans weather is what we say. 👍🏻
Looks like a great day! 😊. I try to put everything i cut or split on top of pallets that are knee or hip high and try to keep all processed wood otf the ground. But i know how it is, sometimes things make sence but we cant explain it. Just the way things are when doing business 😊 thx
Chris you're killing my back!!!! When you get your tractor, check on a set of forks or a grapple. It sure will save my back!!!!! Lol Have a great rest of the day
Great video Chris! I'll say it again, you have great stamina to keep going through that wood pile! I can't wait til you start uploading your videos in the stretch of 90+ temps here in Wisconsin, 97 right now 20 miles South of Eau Claire. 🌞🔥
Greetings from central NC, I'm getting a lesson as to the climate from your point on the globe. You get a colder dose in winter, but you do get just as hot as we. Thanks for the vid's oh yea, I heat with wood, and finally broke down and got a Hooski,, it is easier to start than my 460.
Other brands make saws as good, but something about the sound of a Husky idling makes you just feel good. Like a flathead Ford, it sounds like it's going 100mph standing still. A good saw and a good days work are very satisfying.
Watching you hunched over chucking rounds made me wonder if Quasimodo’s side hustle was firewood too? Couldn’t agree more with the satisfaction that comes from a productive days hard work. Keep cutting my friend.
After watching you hunched over chucking rounds, it made me wonder if Quasimodo’s side hustle was firewood too? I wholeheartedly agree that a productive day of hard work is very satisfying. Stay productive and happy my friend😀
Hey Chris I sold my first load of cookies ever guy was happy wanted them for a wood boiler they was whole not split so he was happy I was happy got that idea from watching you and your videos thanks buddy
Nice to see some cuttin! Been real hot here in the banana belt. Can’t wait to do some cuttin of my own. Will be in the woods Saturday morning early before it gets too 🥵! GNI
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 You really made short order of that load of maple!! I wish it was only in the 60s today. This week has been almost unbearable for me with it being in the lower 90s. It's not the heat but it's the humidity. Take care and stay hydrated in this weather!!😀😀 TTYL!! 😀😀👍👍 Logger Al
@@InTheWoodyard Isn't it amazing how on days like these you can drink a gallon or more of liquid and never have to pee. LOL!! I did manage to make 8 hours in the harvester today without any A/C . I was completely soaked just sitting and operating it. I couldn't imagine doing physical labor anymore in this weather.
That was a great memorial day weekend weather. This heat wave makes it difficult to want to do anything after work. Early morning when its nice and cool makes for great time to get stuff done in the wood yard but by noon it becomes unbearable for me.
Chris where you work alone have you ever thought of getting a medical alert set up you can wear the pendant around your neck and if something happens you just have to push the button when I worked for my local fire department it saved a guy's life twice once he got pinned by a log that shifted and a chain that had snapped just a suggestion something to think about
No, I guess I am not a person who worries about that kind of stuff, God will take me when it is time. I just think about each move I make and plan it through as I go to know I am doing it right.
@@donnairn3419 yes thats what i do keep phone in pocket when i cut alone .was pinned in a log pile once had to call for help thought i broke my leg but was ok ,lucky i guess!
I said oh no when you cut that first big log. They make great planter boxes. It seems like forever since you dug into a pile. Like two wks or something lol. Great video work
Yes I measure, look at my saws and you will see a device on the side of the handle. I have a video showing it... I think it is video #180 ish on my channel.
Nice work. Once you get ur tractor, you should rent a processor and see how long it takes to do a load of logs. It would be interesting to see the difference in cutting and splitting time.
Hey Chris, I saw a Big Black Carpender Ant @ 11 26 to 11 29 he was running under the pile. This is why I do not bring wood into my home. You saw cuts quick Chris. How is your brother doing, have not seen him in any video's latly.
Once the wood is cut, split, stacked and drys the ants leave. They need moisture to live in there. Both of my brothers are doing great, they are making firewood too now, so they are busy. Thanks for watching Stanley.
Great video Chris, The logger that brings the logs Should unload them a bit better especially when you are cutting it with a chainsaw and not moving with a loader just for your own safety, it doesn't take that much more time to unload them in a good way that they don't roll over each other in different directions.
It would be awesome if you had me cutting and feeding you at the splitter with a pipe to slide the rounds like your brother did with that pipe to get the wood to the basement, that way the rounds would go straight to the splitter with no effort, would be very efficient, hopefully one day I'll go to Wisconsin and we can do it!
@@InTheWoodyard ur just stopping the wood from falling over most of the weight is on the ground.. . I made a rack in my garage with just 2x4 and using the bracket only no other support. It's been 5 years and still stands up
I laughed when you said you guys are good at watching me work. I broke my leg last week and I have to watch my help work and it drives me crazy. I can still run a tractor and the wood processor but not too mobile. Keep up the good work.
Just one saw working today? Are the other two in the shop? Just wondering if you sharpened the chain between tanks or just went for it, cuz that saw was cutting like a hot knife through butter as always. You make it look so easy, I have stacks of logs like that as well and I cut for a couple hours and didn't even get half of what you did, although I was helping split as well. Good job as always Chris
I had 2 saws and I did sharpen once too.The smashed one is in the shop waiting for parts yet! They where cutting good, the guy who sharpened them did a good job! HA!
Who is this mystery Brady being that was spoken of that helped stack all those face cords (or thirds of a cord)😂? I heard he was coming, then I saw where he’d been there. G’night, Irene
Would having a wheel barrow to toss the cookies in directly save double handling? Are you running out of space by your gravel drive? If so would throwing the smaller rounds straight into a trailer so they can be split & stacked elsewhere be a sensible strategy.
Zip ties, I have a couple videos on how I made it from a while ago, go to my channel videos and look for the one called ...How to measure cuts, best measuring device about #180 I think.
I wonder how much faster the 500i would be...or any stihl for that matter. I would have went right to dolmar, but you ain’t ready for time travel yet! JK!...nice job Chris that was a lot of work and you still have to handle it 3-4 more times before you see revenue.
What size are you bucking those into? look like some are 18" and up to 24". My stove limit on the front load is 17" straight in. I won't do a sideways load even though a 24" would fit, because I've had "on fire" logs roll out and that's a BIG problem! I even like 13" log because they are a bit lighter for one handed loading. My glass door has been broken twice by closing it on a log that's 1/2" too long. Costs me $140 each time for ceramic glass.
I am now 69, I have been cutting firewood since I was 31. I still love to cut but it is getting to the point that I cannot last very long and I can't work on hillsides. I have 45 acres of hardwoods and only cut what nature takes down or dies. I still can't keep up with what comes down. I have a lot of hickory, maple, cherry, sasafrass, and a few other species. The last 3 years I have been cutting up my dead ash. I can't stand to see them go to waste. I have tried to hire people to help me but I can't find anyone that can keep up with me. It is sad. I love the feel of a sharp saw going through wood. I also do not like sitting around. I would rather cut wood than most other things. I have a wood indoor furnace, a fire place and 6 rental cabins on my property that I sell wood to the people that use them on the weekends.
Im sure you have addressed this before, but it seems like a lot of handling of the wood. i would think having the splitter near the pile to split the fresh cut, then stack as you split would reduce handling and help with clean up. It seems like you only like doing to aspect of firewood at a time?
I do not text and drive and I do not cut, split and stack at the same time too, it is very slow and unproductive, to much stopping and starting over and over. Yes, I do all the cutting then all the splitting then all the stacking then all the delivery. And yes it is a lot of touching, firewood is a lot of work, no doubt. Thanks for watching Austin!
Your not a failure you got a crap load done more than most guys would of done great job i wouldnt fire you lol. There was a guy by and old saw mill in Suamico that was cutting logs in a pile they came down on him he was trapped for hours he lost his leg blow the knee not good .
Yes, it can happen if you are not careful and thinking all the time. That is why I like having a saw so if I had to I could cut my leg off to get out.... Just kidding!

Great video today full of life lessons.

You are the man when it comes to cutting on the log piles. Does your wife check the security cameras to see if you end up under some logs?
She can only hope! HA!
Nice work. Once you get ur tractor, you should rent a processor and see how long it takes to do a load of logs. It would be interesting to see the difference in cutting and splitting time.

Hello Dean!
Great video Chris, The logger that brings the logs Should unload them a bit better especially when you are cutting it with a chainsaw and not moving with a loader just for your own safety, it doesn't take that much more time to unload them in a good way that they don't roll over each other in different directions.
Thanks for the tip! The guy that brings them owns the company with 20+ employees and they deliver 30-40 loads a day so he is a busy guy!
Chris, the firewood cutting animal. That would have taken me 2 full days.
Thanks, the saws where sharp.
It would be awesome if you had me cutting and feeding you at the splitter with a pipe to slide the rounds like your brother did with that pipe to get the wood to the basement, that way the rounds would go straight to the splitter with no effort, would be very efficient, hopefully one day I'll go to Wisconsin and we can do it!
That sound like a good plan! Have a good one!
Use the sawdust as traction agent for the winter months.
Kinda like kitty litter.
Yes I will do that this winter, no shortage of saw dust here!
For the mattress skid things have you thought of using a shelf bracket at the ends so you don't have to build the ends when stacking?
Yes, but they are real flimsy and would be hard to make a strong frame for the wood. But I suppose it could be figured out.
@@InTheWoodyard ur just stopping the wood from falling over most of the weight is on the ground.. . I made a rack in my garage with just 2x4 and using the bracket only no other support. It's been 5 years and still stands up

I would love to bring my echo cs7310 p out to your woodyard one day just cut wood all day long! And a few of my other chainsaws
Do you had a truck? Load them up and head west young man!
What kind of saw chain are you using. It seems to not kick back when the tip hits logs. Very nice saw chain!
It has nothing to do with the chain, it is in how you use the saw tip, I guess I should make a video about it sometime so you can see.
Easton maid has a new pusher Plate for your log Splitter if you want to look into it
Yes I saw the video, and Andrew is going to send me one.
Im sure you have addressed this before, but it seems like a lot of handling of the wood. i would think having the splitter near the pile to split the fresh cut, then stack as you split would reduce handling and help with clean up. It seems like you only like doing to aspect of firewood at a time?
I do not text and drive and I do not cut, split and stack at the same time too, it is very slow and unproductive, to much stopping and starting over and over. Yes, I do all the cutting then all the splitting then all the stacking then all the delivery. And yes it is a lot of touching, firewood is a lot of work, no doubt. Thanks for watching Austin!
How do you feel about the primer button on your chainsaw
It works okay, no problems.
Cutting rounds looks like a miserable job, but you do it well.
It is one of my favorite things to do, it is not miserable at all! Thanks for watching Jim!
Your not a failure you got a crap load done more than most guys would of done great job i wouldnt fire you lol. There was a guy by and old saw mill in Suamico that was cutting logs in a pile they came down on him he was trapped for hours he lost his leg blow the knee not good .
Yes, it can happen if you are not careful and thinking all the time. That is why I like having a saw so if I had to I could cut my leg off to get out.... Just kidding!
Those hollowed rounds,can you sell them as habitat logs?
Yes, I am going to sell them for planters, bear bait and swedish candles.
@@InTheWoodyard What the hell is swedish candle? Never hear of that,must be some words you people use in states.
So what saw model are you using for all those good cuts ?
Back then I had Husqvarna 576 and 572s and now I have a new 592....love it!
HI your in to firewood big time you should know how much thay charge to sharpen 16inch and 36 inch chain saw chains
Yes, some places charge $5-6 fro a small chain and $10-12 for a longer one. And some places charge $10-12 for a small one!
What did you do with the saw you broke a while back. Did I miss a video
It is still at the shop waiting for a couple parts that they had to order, everything is taking forever to get now!
I'd love to help someday! Unfortunately I'm pretty far.
Someday it could happen!
