    Mike you said that you was listening to Christmas music while splitting the fire wood got you into the Christmas spirit. It reminded me of walking Guard Duty while listening to Christmas music being played on the loud speakers around the Military Compound in Korea back in 1966. With the temperature being around around -20° to -25° below zero and walking with a rifle, several layers of clothing, wearing Mickey Mouse Boots (Army cold weather rubber boots that resemble Mickey Mouse shoes) 2 hours on and 4 hours off all night long. Talk about making you homesick 6,000 miles away from home and family at Christmas time in a foreign county. I wonder now how I ever did it.

    Weather - we're getting a week of wet. On/off fog, damp, wet, mud, puddles, dank n dark, today out w Gkids, at 4:15, headlights required, here in Hickory NC. Like you, I don't like the mud. Yep, ya getting behind on your firewood! Did ya ever think back when you were driving to another meeting that if ya retired and just stayed home you'd have more work than ya could keep up with? I'm loving it! The more you got going on, the more we get to enjoy! Great stuff - keep the cameras on for us please and we all have a very Merry Christmas! Now get Eva's boyfriend over and train him up on splitting firewood! Big pavilion and big building, splitting in the dry. Get power and lights on the pavilion and split till 9pm! Put camera mounts on the uprights and joists too, plus your others, that way we don't miss anything! Now for the next Christmas present......Love you guys, have a day and I'll pray its blessed!👍🚜❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏

That time of the year to get busy and prep for next year as I love burning wood in our stove. Have a Lopi stove insert heating 1500 sq ft close to 20 years old and still doing well burning 24/7. Always enjoy the videos and all the family working together. Thanks for sharing and all that you do.

I used to think I had a lot of irons in the fire, I have no where near the irons you have. But hey, I'm retired and don't let much stack on me. Something needs done I just tackle it. Oh and by the way Mike, I still need some 4/4 cherry boards if you ever get to selling any. Yunz have a day!! Hehe, Jay from Pa.

  • @Goostradamus81
    @Goostradamus81 2 года назад +3

    you do want a 4 way, it will speed up production. If you do 1/4 strokes of the ram, just enough to "pop it" open, its easier to rotate the round, keeping all the pieces together, then split the other way, then knock the whole round into the conveyor, it will all break apart in the conveyor.
    You can also load 3 rounds on deck at that size, that log lifter will handle it

  • @EyesOnlyTeam86

    When you first make your cut, You could split from the right & let it fall to the right, instead of splitting that first cut on the left then moving it to the right while you score the block & let those pieces fall to the left. It would save time from transferring that first cut over to the right.

    Just a thought, but with the excavator you're going to keep cutting much longer as you age. I'm 68 and bending over is hard on your back, bringing the wood to waist height makes cutting easier. Also I've gone from a 38cc 16" saw to a 50cc 20" saw and it's a whole different experience for me. Great video.

    Mike, when you mentioned the term ‘off-road’ diesel when filling your transporter tank: would I be correct in believing that you have two prices for diesel fuel in the ‘States? One for normal transport, and one for farming, agriculture and land business?
    Here in England, we operate on ‘Red Diesel’ for farms, agriculture, etc.’ but there are significant penalties if the Regulator catches someone using it for ordinary transport.

    I'd like to see you do a test with your wood stove: you split wood quite small to your customers' preference, I get that.
