Howdy brother, I'm honored to have made your wall of flame twice now, appreciate the support ❤ I do like those bags, hopefully one day when I get a machine I can give them a go here too. Have a great Easter and weekend 🍻
Thanks Dick. Watch his videos too. Energetic soul he is. Given me some good ideas. Usually just cut firewood for family. Years ago sold quite a bit. Still enjoy cutting it up. Take care, Earl
Hi Dick, Hope you get that piece of wood back from Clifford. I want to thank you for the shout out of our channel Club Dora. We really appreciate it you mentioning our channel. I too have run into some high prices for totes, 50-100.00. Thinking of the bags also. Haven’t heard how many times most people get to use a log lift bag. I would think at least 5-7 years? Great video Dick. Glad Hose is doing well after surgery. He’s a great friend to have. Take care. Al
Thanks for watching Matt. It’s a busy time of year for my landscape maintenance business. Mulch, Pinestraw, fertilizer with pre-emergent, and spraying post emergent are really keeping me busy. The grass needs cutting every week too!
My wife made a couple batches of your fire starters this week, our family loves them. Looking forward to your soy wax experiment! The Wall of Flame is certainly growing and nice results on the log lift bags.
Cool vid. I just subbed. I’m a bag believer. I can’t get the totes for free. If I could, I would use them. But if you have to pay, then I think the bags are the way to go. Not as durable but saves tons of space when empty, and I’m not surprised by the moisture. I think what I’ve noticed is it seems to avoid surface moisture from rain so it helps in the drying. But I’m not a woodologist. The bags I noticed have helped my restaurant sales too, they like them delivered that way and it’s super convenient to them.
Thanks for watching and subscribing James. You make some good points. I’m also going to try the 1/6 cord bags for easy delivery to residential customers.
Good video 👍 I've seen the firewood bags and have wondered how they compare to totes and stacking. I've been around bulk bags before but not vented specifically for airflow.
That is surprising about the moisture content . I would be interested to see the moisture in an ibc tote with the same wood split the same time for comparison. I cant help but think the IBC tote has better air flow but the bag may have some solar heating effect that takes place .
Hello Frank. I’ve been working on assembling the mill in my spare time. Between the terribly written instruction manual and some fairly good RU-vid videos I’m making progress. Right now I’m waiting on a replacement part from Woodmizer. It hasn’t been a great experience so far, and I hope the actual operation of the mill will be better!
I have your channel sticker but I must have forgotten to send you mine, I'm sorry about that. I should still have your envelope so I'll send it out. Have a great weekend Dick. Kenny
@@OpenAirAdventure definitely get me a Sticker Kenny. You need to be on the wall of flame! I don’t recall getting a sticker from you, but I have been known to misplace and loose things 🙁
You kidding me? One of the best fabricators on RU-vid and one of my favorite channels. Would love to have your sticker on the Wall of Flame! I thought I may have gotten one from you at Brad’s Fellowships at the Furnace, but it’s nowhere to be found. Please send me one. 1028 Redleaf Ln., Rougemont, NC 27572.
Not as nice as the totes but still very nice numbers wall of flame looking great as always I love the stove stay safe my friend and Clifford to such a good boy
Hey there Dick, continue to enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Quick question. My kids have been after me for years to do videos. I work continuously on anything and everything. They say I am allergic to sitting still. Do you thi k it is worth the time and effort? Just one old wood hound to another. Mulling it over finally. Take care and as you say keep moving so we don't rust. Earl
Thanks so much for watching Earl. I asked the same question to Chris, “In the Woodyard” 2 years ago. His reply “go for it”. I’d say the same to you. I’ll never get rich from the RU-vid revenue, but I feel like I’ve really hit the jackpot with the friends and fellowship I have developed in the woodhound community. A great community with great people.
Great video, Dick! I know I passed a sticker onto you at the fellowship. If you need another one from me, I can drop it in the mail. My contact information is on my RU-vid channel page. I also have a comment regarding soy wax and your “secret” ingredient. I am not sure if they are going to be compatible. I know for certain my soy wax fire starters burn for a good 20 minutes just the way they are. I do not add any other ingredients because my smoking, barbecue and pizza oven customers use them to start their fires 🔥 and I like to keep them food-safe. Happy Easter….!!🐇🐣🐰
Hey Ken. I’m having a hard time finding your contact information on your page. Email me at oldguyfirewood@gmail.com and I’ll send you my address. When I make the soy starters I’m not going to add anything to them… straight soy.
