Building a deck has been on my mind for a couple years. This morning my back is sore from bending over bucking logs yesterday and this video inspired me to not put off building one any longer. Thanks for the plans.
Great instructional video. I downloaded the plans and excited to build the bucking table. However, I have to build my wife's chicken run first. I enjoy your quality videos! Thank you and keep the videos coming.
Nice table build. This particular video also has demonstrated to me why those little bundles of " camp fire "wood cost What they do. Thank you for showing, I now, more appreciate the work that goes into putting them up.
nice table mitch. very nice. you seem like a fairly tall guy. i'm 6 foot 8 and i put a 32 inch bar on my ms462. i'm really happy with it. my table cant hold as many logs but it's 12 feet long. made from ski doo crates. i can cut four rounds at once with the 32 inch.
@scottbrooks2351 Thanks Scott! You have me by about 8 inches on the height meter but that'd a great idea with the big bar. I'd love to put at least a 24 inch on the 462 to cut more rounds at once and tackle larger trees.
Looks great just need a small shelf underneath to put your saw so u don’t have to keep putting it on the floor just something simple at the left side that’s where u finish cutting . Just a idea
Good job I did something similiar but added a stack of pallets and a couple of 2x12s just slightly higher so I could add more logs that I could roll onto the table. It def helps as you get older. I got the idea from Knott woodworking he also has a very neat woodyard
Nice build. I too saw Sandy's video and it's been on my mind. You did a nice job. I am always looking for a way to process wood easier. I just built a roller conveyor processor that works great and want a bucking table for the odd or to large of logs. New subscriber here.
Prepping to build one of these, do you think it would be a help or burden to add 6"x6" skids on bottom, like sled runners? It appears your hunched over when cutting then you could potentially slide it as well with no need to have forks on tractor if you had a grapple? Good video
I don't think I'd want it any higher, but I think there is merit to the idea of putting skids on the bottom. Probably could get away with 4x6's and just shorten the posts a bit.
Nice video! I abused my body in my youth and into my 40s. At the age of 53 I had my first back surgery and have had four more since. I wish I would have “worked smarter” when I was younger and a bucking table looks “smarter” to me!
Looks great and heavy duty. I see that you're still slightly bent over when sawing. That's the hot spot for me with back pain. I'm going to make mine about 6" taller. Also why the heck do they make splitters 6" too low? I'll be making a platform to park the splitter on to raise it so the table and splitter are close to waist level. I dig your video man!
I did, but I know some logs could be heavy, and I wanted to be able to line it up on either side, left or right. One stop could potentially get in the way if I'm cutting from the opposite end.
I just came across this. Good video. I built a bucking table six or eight months ago. It can be seen on my channel. I shamelessly copied mine from Knott Woodworking. I'm not sure why, but he's either deleted all of his videos, or made them private, because they're no longer visible. He's the first person I saw that had built one, and I made mine exactly like his. Mine works, but I'm making some revisions to it as I write this. Yours is FAR heavier duty than mine is, which is obviously a good thing. I would suggest that you spend 150.00 for a set of 7' fork extensions off of Amazon. I've got a set and find them invaluable. Your table is so heavily built that I can foresee the 2 X 4's that you've used to aid you when picking up your table breaking. If you had the fork extensions, you wouldn't have to worry about the 2 X 4's underneath. Oh, you've probably noticed by now that the short 2 X 4 uprights that you've attached to keep the logs from rolling off, onto the ground are probably too short. I think I have mine sticking up 3" or so, and I sometimes still get some rounds that jump over them.
100%. Everything you mentioned is true. It is not possible to move this table with logs on it. I already broke one of the 2x4's. Ha. Lessoned learned. I honestly don't think my tractor could pick it up with a bunch of logs on it anyway. And also, I agree, the uprights need to be longer! Thanks for watching!
I did see it. Or at least the first iteration. Not sure what I thought about the eound rolling down to the ground. I built the table to avoid having to pick up rounds.
Hi mate, I’m considering buying the Milwaukee chainsaw for occasional use and carrying around in the Ute (truck). What are your thoughts on it, power, reliability etc? Thanks.
I actually really like it. It is powerful enough for use every now and then. Especially if it's occasional. It's great for my wife to use as well. Really happy I have it!
@@davidmay2294 100% not normal. The last few years we have gotten over 100 inches each year. This year, not even 20 yet. Jet stream is pushing storms south and east and we have gotten hardly any precipitation.
I just subscribed to your channel. You’re going to love that table. I built one about a year ago. Mine is a little different design, but works well too. I didn’t catch your name. I believe I heard your from northern Wisconsin. We started our channel 6 -7 months ago. Please check us out sometime. I like your content good job. Take care. Looking forward to more videos. Later.

Hi Al! Thanks for the sub! Yeah, we are from north central Wisconsin. So far the table has been awesome. Makes a huge, huge difference. Happy firewood! Mitch

You can do it! Glad you were able to get your hands on the plans. Make changes as you see fit!
@@OutdoorsEngineer
One change,
Put an air gap between the top timbers so the water can drain out and so the air can go in and dry the timbers.
Great instructional video. I downloaded the plans and excited to build the bucking table. However, I have to build my wife's chicken run first. I enjoy your quality videos! Thank you and keep the videos coming.
Sounds like the chicken's are first on the list! For good reason too. Happy wife!
Is the chicken run finished by now? :D
You’d be shocked at how much better your back would feel with a 28-32” bar on that saw.
Hey Mitch! Really like that cutting table! Nice job!
Hey, thanks! It's great!

So much work!! Thanks for the feedback!

@@OutdoorsEngineer 28-inch might be a good fit for a guy your size. thanks for the reply : )
Awesome video! I like your setup as well and glad it worked out as well for you as it has for me.
Thank you for the idea!
I built one on a wagon running gear makes it easy to move around
Nice idea!

Watching you working outside in the snow reminds me how much I like bourbon in my hot chocolate when it is cold out! 😜
Love that! I will have to try that, although I know I love butterschnaps in my hot chocolate.
@@OutdoorsEngineer I should clarify…Maple Bourbon is what we normally use and it is crazy good with hot chocolate.

Great idea. My back is currently sore from a day of cutting. Could use one of those.
Go for it! It is awesome!

Awesome! Glad you liked it! You'll love it once you build it.
Great video! Did you think about maybe making a log stop instead of your marker that you eyeball the log with for length?
I did, but I know some logs could be heavy, and I wanted to be able to line it up on either side, left or right. One stop could potentially get in the way if I'm cutting from the opposite end.
@@OutdoorsEngineer Makes sense! I bought your plans and might play around with a swing down stop of some type.
