Work Harder Or Work Smarter? Come take a journey with me as I show you the tools that I have collected over the years to make the backbreaking work of firewood processing more enjoyable.
Having purchased a large tract of land that was recently logged (before purchase) I can say that I greatly appreciate the advise on these tools! I've cut more wood in the last year than in the last 35 years. That is a LOT since I'm an avid back woodsman. Thank you for the video and even more of a thank you for your vocabulary that put a smile on my face!
Thanks chris. I am glad this helped. I just learn as I go, and as I learn more ways to make life easier I will post more. I have some good stuff coming so stay tuned!
Awesome videos :) I love cutting firewood but its always nice to see the different tools we all use, I do a lot of mine in winter so i dont have to worry about getting in the dirt, I built my own log lifter kinda like yours works awesome so you dont have to bend over as far when cutting :))
Chris collamore Chris my friend don’t cut yourself short. The old saying goes even a blind squirrel finds a nut eventually and that just happens to be the category I am in!
@@mr.mckenney2549 Iv been looking for something to lift logs I thought those hooks just rolled them over. I also love that bar vice but I have never seen one in stores going to have to track one down somewhere? Thanks
@Scott Nock Not very sure where to buy a vice I made mine off memory of a picture I saw once. You can try baileys online? The log jack is also a great investment if you are in the home firewood business.
@@mr.mckenney2549 I did find a vice from Oregon on Amazon it’s not as stout as yours!! At least I will have a pattern!! Lol Rural king has the log jacks under 50 bucks!! Thanks bro..
I like your can’t dog work smarter not harder I live in Maine and do about 18 cord a year for the boiler normally we have our wood on 3 log skids but the pile I’m working on now is on the ground and got muddy when I skidded it up
Thanks will try, if the subs add up great. This project was started as a request by my high school students to teach them more than I could teach in the public school system. But I am curious to see where this might go some day.
They are a tight fit. The point will drive into the end and the shaft will be held in with one screw. It is a small task, hammer screwdriver and five minutes you will have it done.
Sorry to say this but it looks like your left elbow may be brushing up against poison ivy @7:00. It could also be Virginia Creeper - it is hard to tell from the video.

Genius stump vise ! Pickaroon , peavy, and pulphook indispensible. Measuring firewood, just a marked line on your saw. I don't want any metal sticking out while cutting. Try PFERD's CS-X 2in1 sharpener. NOW ! get you some PPE. The femoral artery cut will bleed you out in minutes. Helmet SYSTEM, if only for those %$#@# branches coming down. And, since we usually cut solo, if you're not a vet, get some basic emergency training ( sometimes called Wilderness Medicine). May save your ass. JMNSHO
