HOW TO CUT A LOT OF WOOD FAST. Build Your Own Sawbuck and Simplify The Task Of Cutting Firewood..
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2020
- By Request of my subscribers, I'm showing how building your own crossbuck will enable you to cut lots of firewood in a short amount of time. Mixing old school technology with modern chainsaws will handle the task with ease.
Homesteading off the grid and on the mountain certainly has its challenges but there's no place we'd rather live. We restored the old camp and transformed it into a cozy home for ourselves, then we cleared more land, built a workshop and greenhouse and spent the late part of the winter starting seeds and now we're busy planting our first garden on the mountain. Little by little we're reaching our goals of having a self sufficient homestead.

When not in use turn it upside down and throw a half sheet of ply or an old door on it and have an outdoor work table too.
This maybe just as efficient as my procedure: I placed a 12’ wooden ladder on sawhorses and put my log(s) on it and cut them in between the rungs. It worked well for years. Eventually I purchased firewood.
If I was to used an aluminum ladder, I would build the sides up with 2 x 4 to prevent cutting into the aluminum
Loved the squirrels and the “I’m offended parody”! Thanks!
Great addition with the squirrels! Loved it.
You must have heard me wishing for this video! I was going to go back and find the last video where you were using this saw buck. Thanks so much for the measurements!! You're the best!!!
I'm sure you'll enjoy using it. Have fun.
The squirrels added a lot of humor to the video it was a great edition. The design and the reasoning behind the sawbuck and how it was made is excellent.
One of the BEST Sawbuck designs I've ever seen in use...so glad you've posted this! : )
Good seeing you Boss! And of course with another handy way of doing things! Love you God Bless
Hi Boss oh ya saw bucks make wood processing so much easier! I’m glad to see you out there still doing it!! Take care and God bless you and yours.
Another great, easily stated project for those who haven't figured out country living. Thank you
Cool SawBuck indeed.
Thanks, Boss I need a dose of Squirrel chatter this morning.
Good to “see” you Boss. Thank you for your time making another great video. I burned wood for many years and still have my saw buck sitting out back. Last year I went to a pellet stove. Much more convenient for me. It works well so, I’m happy with the investment. Take care, still praying for your health concerns.
As a kid i used one with a cross cut saw that was a few moons ago always liked your videos enjoy your weekend.
I used one for years that my dad built. It's due for replacement now, I think I'll add your upgrades like the double cross pieces, the skids on the bottom and the spacer blocks. Thanks Pat Cody
Every video you make I learn something new. And I greatly appreciate be schooled by The Boss!
that's the best way to build some things Love it ... reminded me of my granddad he cut wood every year he was able and extra for the seniors in his local area, the extra was free to those who were fixed income and unable to cut their own wood.... always thinking ahead and keepin it simple. Have great day and thanks :)
Thanks Boss, I don't know what I would do without a sawbuck, Its something that has been in my family all my life for generations. Like you over the years there has been many a cord of wood cut to keep that parlor glow glowing
Just listening to you and the way you present this project was enough to make me subscribe. I love the humor and no-nonsense! Thanks!
Thank you Bret and welcome to my channel :-)

Everybody should have one of those, they are really handy! The squirrels at your place have some real personality too!

Thank you and God Bless :-)
Yesterday we stacked up hickory wood and then hauled some to our neighbor’s fire pit. Wish we had had one! Maybe when we tackle the red oak. Thanks so much!
Just like the older video’s showing how you make things, like the rocket stove and water purifier. The only thing missing is the beer and throwing the frisbee to Frankie. Oh wait there was beer you had the burbs. Thanks for making another video where there’s info and laughs to go along with it.
All the best and God Bless
VERY ENTERTAINING!!! Glad to see your doing well. Keep it up.
I make mine with 3 of the X pieces and supports in between, doubled up where it needs to be.

Boss your videos that have the high pitched voice with the chipmunks and squirrels is hilarious I laugh every time! Keep up the great videos hope all is well with your health
Thank you for saying so.
You built that saw buck like a brick $hit house! And if Lori helping you can get a lot done. Looks like you are feeling better and I'm glad for that. Have a great weekend everyone.
My husband says thank you , great idea! Your videos are the best!
Thank you for saying so :-)
Love your squirrelly little supervisors.
Thanks Boss! Cheers to a great weekend.
Always divinely simple videos with very useful knowledge. The music at the end requires playing at least twice since it is so catchy and upbeat. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
I built one 2 years ago,now I'm going to ad the blocks.Thanks.
JudithB I built mine years ago, and been fighting it since. It is always trying to collapse because I wanted it to fold for storage, and I made it 4' long which makes it hard to keep the shorter logs on it. I see how to make mine better, so adding it to the list of to dos!!! Thanks!!!!
That's one great buck! Thanks JC...
I finally got around to viewing this video. Thank you a 1000 times thank you. I wasn't certain of the dimensions - length etc. I did take a photo of the first time I saw it. Before the snow flies I'll have one. Thank you again. God Bless you my friend hope you're feeling better everyday. The squirrels, PBR good stuff :)
Simple and easy that fits into my way of doing things thanks Boss God Bless see you on the next video
Awesome. Thank you for the video. Many Blessings. Once we get it built we will send you pics.
Thanks! Love the simple sturdy design.
Bahahaha love the squirrels You’re a hoot God Bless ya all!!🙏👍
Ha those damn squirrels 🐿 😂
That’s funny that you made this after watching the last video I was thinking man I need to build something like that.
Great explanation Boss. Anyone should be able to figure it out. Always love the talking squirrels 🐿. Awesome idea you came up with. God bless you and yours!
Hey JC my favorite part of this video are the round copper lil balls in the wood! Reminds me of my backyard exploits! Lol
Thanks for the information. Always sharing. You are the best.
500 years old is the house from Matthias Burger in the Black forest.(im Schwarzwald) in Germany in Ulm. He is a physic-teacher, a carpenter an allrounder and hath a lot of good videos on his canal. He restore this old house "Fachwerkhaus" genannt the methods are real traditionall and he works with wood, clay bricks and also metall He also has made a traditionell groundoven. Many of his "teaching" videos are in englisch and even if verry few would ever build or repair things in this old school way- watching how to do it is real fun.Greeting from Hamburg in Germany- where the Hamburgers came from. The part of Hamburg where I live (direct on the lake "Alster") is foundet in the year 1290! We also have many old house stil in function that are over 800 years old. Building traditionall makes sence! Love and greets Frank
Hello, from Florida, USA.
Your comment was quite interesting, thank you.
I may never build any of Boss' contraptions, but, after watching him, I could!
I did use the bubble foil he recommended & I share most all of his videos.
💞👵
@@mspat8195 Boss and his wife are wunderfull. I love them. Living in a crowed full packet city Hamburg with near 1,9 millions and noisy car traffik is not the real pleasure. And because I had an work accident and I am not more finding work in my age- I have not the money to buy and build. But my soul enjoys Boss content and the way he talks verry much. In times like this there is not much hope good storys (outside the gosple)...Wachting the fake news industry in germany makes no sence (the media is gov owend and gov controlled. Like in the communist countrys of the past.
I really needed a little bit of Boss today, thanks for sharing!
Hi again BOSS
A short and useful one. Good to see you looking healthier again and I hope you feel that way too. Sorry to say not here do much
Will be building next year at the cabin! Thanks Boss hope you are feeling good!
great stuff again! we still watch little house on prairie love it..thanks again
We do too and also the Waltons.
Thank you for this video, Boss: it's tense today re pres & covid.
Great Sawbuck! 😎
Sweated over one of those for more hours than I want to remember as a teenager. We had no chainsaw so cut firewood by hand for hours at a time just like Charles Ingalls! If it was snowing or raining (the Scottish Highlands were always one or the other!) then it was pulled into the single garage but the sawing continued. These days I have a chainsaw, just had a busy couple of days before the rains came down, but living on a boat means limited storage! Always something! LOL!
"Glad you are keeping on keeping on!"
Always good to hear from you :-)
Morning, Boss & Family ! Easy Peasy Project, Thanks, Prayers For Your Continued Health ! ATB T God Bless
God Bless.
I don't know how you missed being a Hollywood movie star...haha...you're good like that Boss!!!

That's a great idea. And I loved the Squirrels. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Simple and effective, I like it.😁😎
Now that will save a lot of time and those squirrels crack me up . Stay safe and warm . God Bless .

By the time I viewed this video,14 people will not be able to find there nuts this winter! God BLESS mr.&Mrs. Boss and everyone they love and care about!
I find the be bes stuck in the squirrel feeder downright hilarious!
LMAO. I love the squirrels but damn the chipmunks :-D
Your awesome boss! Remind me of my father!
Love it! Nice touch with the squirrels being little smart ellicks!
Thanks :-)
Slick set up!! Adult tested, squirrel approved. Jeepahs!! Continue to: M.O.L.G.A!! .. 🇺🇲🎯✌️
Excellent video. I see the squirrels have decorated their feeder with some nice copper balls. They’re so fancy! 🤣
Nice Sawbuck info! Thanks. As a kid we used to use a similar one at the Front of an Oliver 77 Row Crop tractor running a 30" buzz saw!
Perfect, through & through Boss!!! 👍😃✌️
Thank you! 👍
Gonna have to build me one of these. Thanks for the video Boss!
Sending love and light, so enjoy your videos
JC , your squirrels are alot more mouthy, than MN squirrels....:):) Have a blessed week ahead. Rich and Dee from MN.
Thanks, you too!
That was my favorite video of yours. Hilarious!
Brilliant. Those squirrels got your measure...! All the best, from New Zealand.
Thanks 👍
There he is , the boss!
Boss great to see another great video. You just gave me an idea to make one of those from a wood wire reel. Cut the bottom square and cut the top in a v. I think it will work. I work for a Electric Co-Op in north Florida and can get the wood reels. May God bless you.
Good ole backwoods logic! Love them squirrelly squirrels!!
Getting that firewood in! Winters coming.;)
Thanks for the tip on strapping the logs to the saw buck . Definitely helps hold the wood in place, & not get squirrely
You bet!
Great design, keeping it simple👍
