- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2023
- When you find something this good you want to share it. After thinking about the how bad my back and body hurt after using my draw knife for any length of time, I was really happy to come across this tool that makes debarking logs a lot easier and faster. The log peeler disc as shown in today's video is setup on my 9" angle grinder and provides for a super fast removal of this red pine bark. I've very recently come across this log peeler disc tool and today is the very first time I"ve tried. Check out what it can do with a first-time operator at the helm. The results are shocking.

Howdy Sandy- yessir, you have a tool that will definitely save you time and effort. We’ve been using two different peeling discs for a while now. The bark on Souther yellow pine is a lot thicker than the red pine you have. One of the discs is set a bit more aggressive for the heavy bark and the other one for cleaning up the log afterwards. I have a video where we were making live edge hewn log faces for a framed wall and the blades are set light so they don’t dig too deep. The faces actually look like we’re hewed with a broad axe. We made them on the HM126 sawmill. The peeling discs we have were made and shipped from Estonia. A log builder friend of mine lives there and sent us the information on them. Having flog at the right working height is critical for not getting too fatigued. I’m so glad you got one for your goodie collection. A man can’t have too many tools lol. Enjoy it and be safe. Thank you for sharing your new toy, I mean tool 😂. Take care and God bless
That sounds like a neat look to the logs! The hand hewn look sure is nice. Yeah fatigue is a big one as I spend a long time doing somethign. This sure feels good and comfortable! I don't think I could ever have enough tools haha. Hope all is well with you
Thanks! From website "The disc will do approximately 300 linear feet per 8 hour day. Typically, about 4 hours between sharpening dependent on dirt in the Bark. A bench grinder can be used to sharpen, use the outside portion of the wheel to get the most accurate angles unless a jig is used."
So he was right, you might want 2 of these discs so you don't have to stop to sharpen.
Just swap the peeler, & keep going. _Sharpen Later_ at night or in the morning.
.............. MAYBE He should--a mentioned these disks cost about 500+ bucks.... I'm still searching / checking for sources / alternatives to debark with.
I built a scribe fit log house using Red Pine 20 years ago. We peeled the logs with a drawknife. Man I wish I had this tool back then!
Bet the build was rewarding though with your hard work
Hey Sandy! I know I’m late to comment but I did watch the vid on the day it came out lol! Really enjoyed watching! Really cool tool and thanks for showcasing its capabilities! Looks like a very well designed and built piece! Neat design an peeled those shavings in record time! Really nice end product for sure an looking forward to see it make more appearances on the channel! Cheers Sandy! Andrew from NB, Canada :)
What a quality tool, you chose well. Looks like you were enjoying the process too, which is nice to see. Excellent video as all of your videos are. It's just fun for my wife and I to watch what you are up to, thanks for creating videos. From friends in IOWA USA.
I appreciate that! Great to have you and your wife tuned in for all the videos. I appreciate the support!
This is a very impressive tool made easy work of the log I've purchased a Hudson debarker that goes on the end of the chain and it works pretty well also but I think I'm liking the one you have better great video Sandy
Nice to see these type of peelers getting more popular. Been working with them around 17 years and they were in use long before i started working on log homes. One tip is to let the blade spin down against the log or a platform with its side. Don't put pressure on it just let it slow down on it's own weight. This way it stops faster and you can save some time and be safer. And even in the warm times wear long sleeves to avoid bloody spots and sap on your skin. When pushed this thing can peel around 140 metres 460feet of house sise logs a day. 30-40cm diameter. Always make sure to have a stance so it will not slip towards you. Last thing is never let logs drop on it just put the tool in a safe spot when rolling logs haha. Good luck and enjoy the new tool.
This man knows exactly what he is talking about! Alvar is the friend who told us about these peeling discs. He is a highly talented log builder!!! Thank you,Alvar
Is that right eh. Yeah I hadn't even heard of them until recently. Sure wish I knew about them years ago. I appreciate the tip!
@@TheBeardedCarpenter Nice to see you here friend. RUclips is a small place haha. Been subscribed to both of you for a while now. Mostly here for the sawmill tips to try and get one of those myself soon. Seeing Sandy use the peeler was a good suprise.
@@alvar891 Hello brother- I sure hope you’re able to get a sawmill soon. They are so nice to have 👍🙏🏾
What other brands make them?
Are there any cheaper ones available for occasional use?
This one is $650 Canadian.
Bit rich for my use!!
A tool I never knew about.... but could have used.
Thanks for sharing
I never knew about it either until recently and sure has been getting some use lately. Glad you came along for the video Leigh
Cool tool. I like how it destroys knot clusters.
Yeah I was wondering how it would do on knots and was happy to see it goes right through them
Wow, that a really sweet way of debarking logs. Going to get one ASAP!
I wish I knew about it years ago that's for sure. Sure is making quick work of things
Been researching these lately Sandy
U have done the best review that I’ve seen
I’m sold.
Great to hear you liked the video David. Great to have ya along
Sandy, HEY, it looks like you're having WAY too much fun with this latest toy!! Something I enjoy doing, every spring when I trim the dead limbs on my pine trees, is using those branches to make live-edge cribbage boards. That tool you demonstrated would be very aggressive for my needs, but whoa... it would sure make quick work of a tedious 'hand job.' I envy you, buddy. You're living life in a way untold millions wish they could dump the 'nine-to-five' and join you. Keep up the videos... a lot of people are "Living Life," vicariously through you....
Hey Carl! This tool sure is making light work out of a normally tedious task for me. I appreciate the support on the channel and am happy to share with you and everyone else the happenings here
Nice work Sandy - It must smell fantastic!!
Sure does!
That’s a great find, Sandy! Thanks for the tip - I need a bunch of peeled logs this summer to build some outbuildings.
Glad you enjoyed the video Dave!
Very nice. Tools like that make work fun. Have a great day!
I agree with ya there Paul!
Sandy ...I have been looking for something like this,I did not fancy the chain saw de barker...THANKS FOR SHOWING THIS!
Glad you saw the video today Dirk! Sure seems like it's going to get lots of use here on my channel
Dude I’ve been stripping southern pine for a year and a half now with a draw knife, perfectly content with it. Yes exhausted afterwards but satisfied with the job. Now I gotta have one of those. No way am I stripping one more log by hand ever. Appreciate the info, and your content sir.
Great to hear you found the video and although it's been a pile of work for ya with the draw knife, I"m sure it's been rewarding none the less
Sandy, that is a Badass de-barker, good job finding that thing.
Thanks TJ!
Now that is something I could have put to use this past summer/fall. I was building raised planters using yellow pine logs and peeling them using a knife and hand axe. While the end results were everything I had hoped for, the process was a, sometimes literally, pain. That tool would have been a godsend. Next time I'm making those planters, or anything else using raw logs, I'm just going to have to check into getting one of those. Thanks for the heads up on that tool. As always, Good vid and thanks.
I can imagine it was rewarding looking at your hard work though Joe
Just noticed google changed my name/handle. I'm Joe Isme and I've been here a while.😁
@@sawingwithsandy I was very happy with the results and I've had a request that I build a few more for family and friends. Maybe a future side gig.
$625 wow...pricey but that's a speed demon tool. I'm highly impressed with it's cutting capabilities!
Sure got the job done faster than I was expecting
All the dogs in the vicinity hightailed it out of there. Awesome tool. I wonder if this would speed up the construction of log cabins by de-barking, cambering, and notching the logs to fit on each other? 40 volt cordless Makita 9 inch angle grinder with de-barker attachment and STIHL Chainsaw would make log cabin building more fun than a chore.
I'd imagine this would get things done a lot quicker. I don't mind a draw knife but this thing sure is way way faster for me
Hello Sandy, that disc is a real deal on debarking, whatever you do, do not dally to long in one spot, cause it will chew clean thru, nice set up, this is the first time I have ever seen one.
Sure seems like it would get right down like you said. I haven't seen them much until just recently either. Happy I found it
Darn Sandy, that has got to be the worst nightmare for beetle larva under the bark, hearing that puppy coming by and not being able to get out of the way fast enough, good job
Hahah
That’s a slick tool as Sandy. The ‘OL drawbar will most likely end up on a shelf in your work shop. Time is money even if you aren’t working for a living. Time saved is used on other projects ,other endeavors. Thanks for sharing.😊😊
Absolutely. I often weigh out my time and effort savings when looking at new tools and as I get a bit older I start to value those two things a bit more than I used to.
Wow pretty work and fast too, thanks sandy
Thanks for coming along for the video!
Wow! Such a cool tool. Gonna need to get one of those. 👍
I knew there was an easier way. Gotta love RUclips. Cheers and thanks.
Thanks for checking out the video
That tool is sweet! I can see that being very helpful.
Sure makes quick work of the logs I"m finding. Thanks for watching Toby
Sandy, you may want to pass that power cord over your shoulder in order to keep from planing right through the cord. Looks like a really slick invention. Good for you.
Good tip Bob. Sure is making things go fast around here and saving m back
Just keep the cord normally going behind you from the right side and it will not get in the way of the blades. The way the tool is operated keeps the cord further.
Congratulations with your new "toy", Sandy. A splendid tool. 🙂
Thanks! Sure am happy to have it
Wow! That certainly makes for a quicker job.
Hope you're getting some of this sunshine today!!
Hey Liz! Yeah the sunshine luckily is just coming up here. Thank goodness!
Could have used that last fall. Seems to work well . Looking forward to seeing you use it and how it holds up.
I'll be sure to keep more content coming with this debarker going
Definitely fantastic brother ,i hope i can find a disc like that in England 🇬🇧
Wow what a dandy tool. Tks for sharing. Never knew such a tool existed.
Thanks for checking out the video Pete
Hey Sandy ! Catfish here ! WOW ! Doesn’t that make the job easier , faster, and fun ! Incredible time saver ! Nice video !
Hey Catfish! Sure was fun for the first try
sandy great explanation. j like the sampler of doing it the colonial old way. the draw knives. it is manual.
i found a log debarker that mates with a chain saw. it has power and it works but you get tired if you have to many logs to do.
i like your find and i will look to see if it works for me and my hobby work environment.
cheers thanks for the armchair lessons. the canadian teaches a dutch born American something cool. thanks for sharing your knowledge. much appreciated. kudos. you even anticipated some of my questions. we must be of continuous life learning and sharing of desired knowledge. keep up the good work. we are of kindred spirits of anne of green gables fame story line from lucy montgomery. maybe a canadian writer.
Great looking device. A tip as far as keeping your logs from rolling. I built my log stand by cutting pallets in half and screwing them together like a little A-frame. I'll try and post a video on my channel but I'm sure you can picture what I mean. The top of the A-frame ends up being a notch to hold your logs.
Thanks for sharing that idea!
I just called and placed an order! Amazing tool canadian made my heart is warm keeping my money in canada!!!!
Great to hear that Jesse. I"m really liking it
Where did you find this disc
Great video there eh! And thanks for info on the company to get this tool...
Glad you came along for the video Denis
Hello Sandy. That tool looked new as was confirmed by you. Some of your logs are going to fit the pieces you attached to the sawhorses but not all. An adjustable V shape on both ends attached to the sawhorses or other structure might accommodate all size logs up to the maximum design.
Food for thought. Have good days!
Great idea there! Thanks for sharing
I'm impressed how fast that tool shaved off the knots. Great tool, plus you didn't have to buy another grinder/motor just to use it.
Yeah I did like how it was able to use the angle grinder. I also liked how quiet it is
Hi do you have a link to were I can get the disc
That’s a awesome tool,definitely getting one
Thanks for watching Murray!
That log peeler works great. Certainly will be a time saver when you have to debark several logs for a project. The drawknife is always a great tool and one to keep on hand. There is certainly a technique to using a drawknife so that you don't wear out your arm muscles too fast.
I'm looking forward to getting this log peeler used a bit more on some upcoming logs
That’s really slick Sandy. For $625, though, I think I’ll still take my time with a really sharp draw knife!
Pretty slick for sure Frank. Thanks for coming along for the video. Hope to see ya on the next one!
That is a bit expensive for just 1 cabin. The cnc made ones here cost 300usd and the metal workers used to make them for 100usd around 10 years ago. It is a popular tool here tho that is why it is cheaper.
That looks like another fun tool....now you just have to peel on your pathways - wood chips and peeled logs all in one go!
hahah I like it
I can see where that would be mighty handy! I use a draw knife, but like you said, you're fine for the first couple of logs, then you get a bit disgusted with it. And it seems to work the knots better than a draw knife, too! Great video!
Yeah I don't mind the draw knife for a little while as well but the knots sure frustrate me sometimes when I hit a stubborn one
That is an awesome tool and would be great for some of the rustic wood projects I do,but it's a bit pricey for me.
Yeah would need to have some projects in mind for sure to make it worth it. Sure is impressive with is capabilities
Great vid. Wonderful tool! $600+ is a tad pricey though!
Yeah would have lots to consider for sure. Glad you came along for the video Charles!
Holy moly that is sweet!!! Great find and thanks for sharing!!! I predict one in my future!🎉😂
Sure is making quick work of my logs I’m finding
Yep that would be the way to debark trees! I've seen the shapers and paint removers (way to aggressive for paint IMO) and such but not the big one like you have. That would be great because it will flatten out knots in seconds. Nice One!
One of the best things I"ve seen for taking those knots down smooth. I was shocked when it did that without issue
@@sawingwithsandy
I was wondering
about those knots.
Great tool
Nice tool, looked ease to use. You mentioned a couple of different sizes of griders. The grinder you were using is quite large. A little smaller might be easier? RPM is a factor, maybe? I have not seen that particular kind of disc before, so I'm quite interested. I'll have to look into it further. Thanks for something new, for me anyway. 👍
Read a few of the other comments, good info in them too. 👍
Hey Del! Yeah I think it works with a 7" grinder as well. I hadn't seen one either until recently and now that I"ve tried it am super impressed
very nice tool. i have a project coming up here that would be perfect for that tool. i'll check out their site. thanx sandy.
Thanks for checking out the video Terry!
Thats amazing, i need one!
Sure is making things go alot quicker than I'm used to
Hi Sandy! For years, I've been looking for a tool to take the callus off the bottom of my feet. I think I may have finally found it! LOL!
Great to hear you found this video Terry! Be sure to wear your safety gloves and glasses if you do go doing any foot repair haha
Looks good!
Thank you!
Wow that is great. Set logs in v block one each end
Think that's a great idea. Thanks Dave!
Looks like a great tool for getting the bark off.
Absolutely. Looking forward to putting some good hours on it
That tool looks to be great for the job. However, I could see myself having fun and just turning a log into a toothpick just rolling through and washing it do it's thing.
hahha I am almost the same. I was about to keep on going even with the bark off
Thanks For demoing the Mess Maker 2000 HAHAHAHAHAHA
Use that out in the woods with Your Gen Set.
Thanks Much Sandy.
Mike M.
hahaha sure does make a mess. I almost was going to film this in my shop too. I got away with one there hah
That looked really satisfying!!! Was it as fun as it looked?
It was really fun to be honest
That's a big time saver!
I agree with ya there Steven
Looks like an efficient tool but I'd have to be peeling a lot of logs to justify that price tag. I'll be interested to see how long the blades last and if they can be sharpened. I hope you'll do a follow up down the road.
Yeah I think you'd have to have a need for it for sure. I'll keep everyone updated on it with more videos showing it in use and can let you know when it starts showing signs of dulling. These blades can be sharpened by removing them and using a bench grinder
good video and job. works really well i may get one do they make one for the smaller battery disc grinder? take care, be safe and well.
Hi John, I think the size is only this one from what I've seen but this can be mounted on a 7" grinder with a 5/8" threaded spline I believe.
That thing is a beast!☮✌🏻
Sure was a great tool to have along. Thanks for watching Alan
Hi Sandy-love your channel! I'd be curious to see a comparison video between this $600 gadget and one that you can get for $20 - Kowood turbo wood carving disc.
Would be neat to compare for sure Steve. I"ll see what I can do for the future.
Sandy I do believe it will be a great help in making a dugout canoe
Sure would work well for that one!
I have also seen and attachment for a chainsaw that seemed to work quite nicely. Pretty cool!
Hey Paul! Yeah I've seen those as well. Having a tool to remove the bark sure is handy I'm finding. Thanks for watching
Those are the cats when it comes to peeling and shaping
Sure is making quick work of that log. I'm impressed as well
Work smarter not harder, great tool.
For sure Sam. Thanks for watching
Welp...another thing to add to my list of "wants"
sure is a handy thing
Sandy, what a great piece of kit! You're right though, I bet you could chew right through that log if you weren't paying attention, or you simply needed some wood chips .
Cheers.
I think It would surely go right through the log if I let it
To hold the log instead of saw horses, Use 2, Y Y either set in the ground or with a flat base. This would give you easier access at reach all parts.
That would do the trick! Thanks for sharing
Nice tool. Makes me wonder why those guys building remote cabins and using wood on site don't use a generator to get power from and use one of these tools to make their stripping of the logs for their cabins that much quicker/more efficient.
I'm not too sure Pete. I've seen alot of people using draw knives and they sure are fast at debarking but I wonder if they ever use any type of tool like this
It is more of a production tool and even if ppl know about it they find it a tab too expensive. Where i live it is not that costly (300usd) and i would get one even for just one cabin. Cant live without one if you build for a living. Draw knife work would put us bankrupt fast haha.
Very nice tool !!! I can see great outcomes !!!!! Also divets ? Still will get one. Yet still be careful about the divets !!!!! More commonly known as gouges !!!!!!
Hey David! Yeah it sure has impressed me as well. I'm really liking how I can go right over the knots as well to smooth them out
@@sawingwithsandy yes sir !!!--
You need to design a system that will turn the log with the tool fixed to an arm that you can set to depth while moving horizontally the length of the log. Imagine ever log perfect and same diameter. Nice review.
Now that would be pretty slick
Interesting tool
Brand new to me as I hadn't seen one much either
@@sawingwithsandy Never seen that style either
My wife was momentarily horrified when she saw this thumbnail saying “Debarking Made Easy” with you holding an angle grinder. She was so relieved when she realized it was LOG debarking and not DOG debarking. 😂
hahahah
It is probably better to have the knife cutting with the grain then it is to have the knife cutting across the grain.
I think I would want to take the knots out with a chainsaw ahead of the debarker. I suspect that the debarker disc is a more fragile tool and not made to trim end grain. It looks like a super tool. Of course some logs have thicker bark and you would like to have the extra capacity in that case. Thanks.
Sandy if you have one use the impact driver it works way better
Dang specifically says on their website not for Red Cedar. Thats what i would use it for the most.
Ah that's too bad. I guess the stringy bits are the issue they are saying
Not familiar with the peeler made in the US there but the ones we use in Europe can peel trees like ash and oak easily. Dont have cedar to try on. Can always get someone to make new blades that are better for hardwood if it gets dull too fast.
nice tool
Thanks Ken!
Looks like it would also be useful to make milled timber look hand hewn.
I think you're right. Great idea for it
$1000 bucks for the combo is crazy. I would easily buy dimensional lumber for that price with a lot less work.
Either that's his trick photography or it's the best thing since sliced bread
hahah no tricks here. Although it would be neat if I had that talent
@@sawingwithsandy thank you for the video I sent a link to my buddy who does a lot of work like you do
I wonder how it would work compared to the horizontal cylinder log peelers that attach to chainsaw bars?
Great question. I"ve debated giving those a try as well but in videos I saw I was a bit hesitant of those as I didn't want to have to use a chainsaw to run it
Maybe use it at the sawmill. With the laser line, you could zip down the log with the debarker, probably twice per cant. Should save some wear and tear on the saw blade.
Great idea John!
Nice system. I'll be looking into it. Is there a promo code for the grinder and peeler disk? I'm thinking I could use it as a debarker for my HM130max as well as a log peeler.
Hi Clyde. I like the idea for the debarker for the sawmill as well. I don't have a promo code for it though
@@sawingwithsandy yea a person could know off the any "heavy" dirt/mud with an axe or stuff brush and that would work well. In theory anyhow. Next addition I think is going to be the laser on the operator side.
I bet that tool would work well on a square cut beam to give it a hand hewn look.
I like that idea Brian!
Wood love to see it used on a larger diameter log. Great tool.
I'll be sure to keep that in mind for future videos!
@@sawingwithsandy
Do you have other videos
on peeling logs?
That thing works good....
Sure is pretty slick!
For that price it should come with the power head. While it does a nice job it cost way too much. It would have to be used a lot to make it worth while.
Lots to consider for sure. Thanks for coming along for the video! Hope to see you on the next one
Wow Nice how it took those ugly knots and smoothed them out.
One of the most impressive things I saw when using it for the first time as well
That thing made a clean log. Nice find. You can turn a 15” log into a 5” log in no time 😅
hahah that's for sure. If I hold that in one place for a while I could get it right down there
Now in conjunction with your laser use that as a debarker for where your blade is going to cut on your logs with your sawmill
Would be a good way to prolong the sharpness time on the blade for sure
Not sure this will work on Douglas Fir with a 2" bark layer - any ideas on what we can use for that?
Knives are adjustable.
Works great but Big Money. WOW
Is this your product?
Your video is on the website.
Is there a smaller version available for small logs and a 5 inch grinder for log furniture etc?
I don’t sell this myself. I got it from Alberta Forest and Garden. I’m not sure if there’s a smaller version as I didn’t see one when I got this one
you getting ready to strap on 5-7 more extensions on your mill so you never need to trim your logs after delimbing?
hahaha there we go
I wonder how long the blades last for
