Almost 7,000 subscribers now Dick and so very proud of what you have accomplished!!! Very much appreciate what you GIVE to the firewood community and a true beacon of light to those all around you! Be proud and keep on moving!!
Hi Sandy. I hope you and the family are doing well. I was truly humbled when you recognized me at Boonville and came up to speak, and I really enjoyed seeing and talking to you again at Paul Bunyan. I’m definitely planning on Bunyan in 2024… hope to see you!
You got it going on there the eastonmade with conver box wedge and the wolf ridge and other splitters I’ve seen in other videos hat off 👍 I’m probably the same age but still using my county line 30tn splitter to do mine unfortunately really need to update my life and back so much better 👍
Hey there Dick! Great work that day! Nicely done! Great to see the 22-28 is working well for you! Agree with you on the extra slash in the IBC totes. DudeRanchDIY does have a nice step up for the additional grizzly bars he added 🔥💯👍. So a similar set like you mentioned will be a great addition for you! Really enjoyed stopping by an spending some time in the woodyard with you! Look forward to the next vid! Take good care Dick! Cheers! Andrew from NB :)
This is EXACTLY the comparison video that I needed to reassure me that I made the right decision to get the pizza box wedge with my 22-28. Should be in by February-March. Thanks.
Looks good they make is so easy now days .I'm glad you found something to make it easier .I'm like you just keep moving I'm like you at 76 still working pushing rock with a D 10 dozer in a rock pit take care like your videos
It’s perfect for my market Tony. If you’re primary market is heating wood the 5 way box or standard 7 way box would be the way to go. Dan at Back 40 has some good videos on that application.
The Pizza Box wedge is perfect! For what I sell, this is what my customers prefer. All that slash is actually good to have as kindling, interested to see what you come up with to separate it. 👍👍👍
Thanks so much for watching. I imagine the nursery business really slows down in the winter… time to head to the islands for a vacation! The grizzly bar build will probably have to wait until after Christmas. It’s a very busy time of year.
Hi Dick, Yes we are done planting for the Fall. We do keep busy propagating, knocking out chores, and producing some firewood. Still working full time too. Hoping to up my firewood game in retirement. Doing only 8-10 cords a year now. 1/2 of that is for home heating.
Watched before signing in. Thank you for the comparison. Not that I'll ever be using the pizza wedge due to only having a 12-22 with a 6 way, tall 4 and a 7 way that they say is max on this unit. I've wondered how it would look, one versus the other. Anyone interested in making smaller wood might like the new Wolfe ridge vertical splitters as well if they do not want all of the "trash". I think Wolfe ridge makes the best commercial vertical that you can buy right now. I think Eastonmade makes maybe the best "bang for the buck" horizontal in the 12-22 class. I also encourage folks to look at some videos from "All-wood" splitters. Their bigger splitters are extremely impressive and are made right here in the states like Wolfe ridge, Timberwolf and Brute force. Anyway, thanks again for the video and sorry to get rambling on about things. I likes me the firewood equipment!
Thanks for watching. RU-vid channel “Outside with Sheib” runs the 7 way pizza wedge on his 12-22… check him out. I also like looking at all the firewood equipment out there!
Dick that sure is a good set up with the pizza box wedge. Jake’s grizzly set up works good for him. Sure you will make a good set up too. Look forward to seeing your fabrication 🔧🪛🪵🍕
Thanks Bob. Jake’s design works great. My main difference will be leaving the wheels on the conveyor and making a quick disconnect for the grizzly bars. We’ll see if it works.
Those are the perfect size splits and the size I go for myself. Its takes more work to get it that way but its worth it. Eastonmade hit another home run with that wedge design. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it. PS, I like your shirts gonna order my wife and I one for Christmas 😄
Ask your customers if they like the smaller scrap wood/ kindlin I do all bulk firewood from my processor into my dump trailer and my customers love the kindling they get in a load and they like its free lol its just part of the process
who is going to do all this firewood when us old guys are gone I am 65 years old and did 160 dump trailer loads at 4 face cords per trailer you work your butt off but it keeps us a live and in shape some what lol
I agree with the slash being a little too much . We just built a set of grizz bars & I hope they do the trick. It seems that pizza box wedge puts out nice size wood. I would like to see a comparison of the largest & smallest piece each wedge can produce. Keep up the good work
Think you are right about getting a grizzly bar setup for your conveyor to remove slash scraps from your customers firewood. Good watch video. Have a good one
Perfect! Thanks for making this video. Those are the size splits I'm currently making with my single wedge splitter. It's tedious to say the least but I find it easier to handle and the wood dries quicker when that size. Thanks for sharing this and don't forget, I'd like to know if your splitter is a stationary unit and the options you chose. It looks like it powers the elevator also. Tell us more. Thanks again.
Hi Marshy! The Eastonmade 22-28 with attached conveyor is on wheels and can be moved. In my case I set it up in my woodyard and probably won’t move it around… it’s easier to bring the wood to the splitter. My 22-28 has the attached conveyor, tall 4 way wedge, standard 7 way box wedge, and 7 way “pizza” box wedge.
Hello Dick, guess i missed some of your recent video's......what the heck happened in your woodyard.....it's all orange and blue now instead of red barron....looks like a great setup.....do you let Jose run it? happy new years
Hello Bob… good to hear from you. The Eastonmade 22-28 has really helped me increase production. I still use my Wolfe Ridge for the big gnarly pieces that don’t do well with the Eastonmade box wedge. Jose’ likes running the new splitter. Check out my “one month review of the 22-28” video. He runs it in that video. Happy New Year!
Great to be watching you do what we love to do and watch. I need a favor please sir will you send me a copy of items needed to make the air gun please sir thanks.
Thanks Tommy. All the information you need is listed in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d9FudUw-SLI.htmlsi=s8JpntZDrRXHGuyJ. Enjoy!
Thanks for watching. The AxIs is the perfect machine for precision splits and very little waste. I like the box wedge and pull back arm because it eliminates so much physical work… the scrap is an unfortunate side product.
