Joe, @ Ohio Wood Burners has a super splitter wood splitter made in Mass. When he bundles he passes the big pieces through this fast splitter & makes small pieces out of big pieces. It’s easy but still a learning curve. ❤ your videos, have fun & keep making them.
The wood yard is looking good!
Thanks Brett!
Nice bundler. It's nice to see the different ways people package their wood. I started with bags and figured out it took too long and bags are expensive.
Yep the main reason I didn’t do the bags was because of the cost.
Nice bundler, noisy stretch wrap, they make another type that’s a lot quieter, cute ending👍🏼🪵🇺🇸
Yeah it’s the kind my friend gave me so I can’t complain!
I remember Joe from OWB doing a video not too long ago and he said there are two kinds of strap trap one is blown and the other one is cast and he said stay away from the blown because it is extremely noisy so I’m assuming that the Hudson bundler came with a roll of blown stretch wrap.
so almost wonderful beautiful video friend i love it see
Looking good my man
Thanks Kenny!
Check out Jeff and Patti’s video on stapling a plastic handle on.
I’ve seen it! Not really a fan of the handles in case it were to break loose and fall on someone’s foot.
Hey Jake nice bundler, I looked at the Hudson, John’s Welding and Twister manual bundler. All seem to work really nice. What I ended up with is an Amish made bundler that’s about half the cost. The thing I like about the Amish bundler is it’s chain drive not belt drive. Have fun bundling!!!!
Hey there Tony! I was watching your new video with Chris earlier, glad to hear your starting your own channel. Sounds like you have an interesting background! I’d love to find a cheaper Amish bundler around here…I’ll have to keep looking! Thanks for watching!
@@DudeRanchDIY Chris the Amish bundler from the guy in MI is $750 the shipping will be pricy but I think it will be under $1000 total. Give Paul a call at 616-206-5100 let him know we talked and also mention you have a RUclips channel. Who knows he might lower the price for you doing a review.
I recently purchased a twister and very happy with speed and how tight the bundles are.
I’ve seen the twisters they seem pretty nice!
@@DudeRanchDIY yes it works well. When you jump into any electric machine the cost really jumps up. The more you can make the more you can sell.
@@TheDriftlessHomestead
How much are the electric machines? I can see it saving you plenty of energy for gathering, and stacking your bundles.
I do plan on building one , to get started, but really, really want the electric machine for the above listed reasons. I guess on especially hot days that cranking motion would cause a fanning effect 😵💫🤔
I have this bundler.
Sometimes I wish I had the electric motor version. But if you don't have power, this is good.
I don’t really see the advantage of the electric motor, more to go wrong in my opinion.
Hello Jake and Sarah, Great job making the video and displaying the firewood bundler I’ve actually considered building one myself but I thought before I started doing that I would build one out of lumber and make bundles to see how well they would go over. I have a wood stand very similar to yours and most people are more interested in the $20 stacks than the bundles so I’m kind of holding off on building the one out of steel. Anyways keep your videos coming we all enjoy them.
Cheers Mark
Yep kind of in the same boat here! Don’t really want to make a big commitment before I know how much I can sell!
I’m beginning to think that if we were to follow Joe‘s advice that smaller quantities equals bigger profit and perhaps filling my wood stand solely with bundles that are 1 cubic foot that it would be more profitable but more work making the bundles
I would have to agree with you, unfortunately a guy about a half mile down the street from me built a similar stand three days after I put mine out…so now I’m kinda stuck as far as pricing goes. His firewood bags are priced at $6
But keep in mind Jake what kind of product is he selling in his stand, is his wood as good or inferior to what you have because one guy around me buy loads of blocks, splits them ,boxes them and sells them immediately and I recently bought a box just to see what he had and some of his wood was 35% moisture content so I wouldn’t be too concerned about competition when you know that you are selling a great product that’s dried and ready to burn.
Perhaps your competition thinks it’s the customers job to dry their wood. Lol
I totally agree with you, I’m not sure what kind of product he’s selling. I know my wood is dry! I have been keeping an eye on his inventory and he hasn’t seemed to have sold any bags yet either! I do know that my stand looks nicer than his!
Hi Jake - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. You live in a great setting and I'm impressed with your tidy yard as I'm always wary of trip hazards while working. I'm not aware if there is a bundle market here in Ireland and I certainly have never seen a bundler machine in my travels. It has good potential to provide a high profit product that could be produced indoors during inclement weather.
Hey there Rodders, I’m a bit ocd so I like to keep things tidy when possible! So far I’ve sold 4 bundles and no loose wood!
I know where one's been sitting for awhile in storage. Brand new !
Send it over my way!! 😂
@@DudeRanchDIY right !
hi from france very beautiful video how are you my friend
Hey Yohann, thanks for watching!
This is a really neat design. I like the rounded bent corners , open bottom , so you're not standing on a piece of steel. As I was replying to another of your commenters, I really would love to have an electric model to save on energy while doing the task, I'll probably just copy one of these models. Fo - Sho I'll copy the rounded bent corners. But thinking a sealed motorcycle 🏍️ chain and aluminum sprockets would be the best Crank Drive system. Probably pick up a set of miss matched sprockets from a motorcycle shop used for nothing, and a new O-Ring Chinese chain for near nothing online. At some point add power to it , but just thinking the chain driven sprockets would be the way to go.
Check out my newer videos on the Brute Force electric bundler I got! It’s pretty sweet!
I drove by the other day and I thought that stand looked familiar. Looks like you have competition just down the road.
Wow small world! Stop by and say hi if you see me outside, yeah that guy built his 3 days after I put mine out…🤬😤
I know it is not your equipment but I would cut some of the upright bars down and put some rubber on top or use a flap disk also I would cut the rounded side off so you can walk into it instead of trying to lift it up.
I’ve since gotten a Brute Force electric bundler. It’s awesome! Thanks for watching
I couldn't take my boat out without my dogs. I didn't have to watch my fishing rods, they would tell me when a fish was biting. Then kind of go nuts as I was reeling the fish in.After taking the fish off, either to release or put in the cooler, they each got half a Pupperoni.
Haha that’s awesome! Wish I had more time to fish!
I can see it now….Sara wrapped up in plastic wrap waiting for you to get home to cut her loose because she was helping….lol 😂 just kidding….nice bundler!
Lol!! I could see her bundling up one of the dogs when they are bad 😂
Sounds like you're leaving money on the table. The boss has spoken, $8 a bundle it is.
Yup gotta do what she wants, I can change a 5 to an 8 pretty easy 😏
Awesome video Jake and Sarah you all rock.
Thanks Chris!!
Nice video, but I wished people who sell firewood would use something safe to burn. So many campers burn the plastic which is bad for you lungs, and they end up smelling up the whole campgrounds. A sisal twine bundler seems like a better alternative.
Nobody said you have to burn the plastic wrap…
To create repeat customers, always give more than expected. Fill the basket on the bundler, don't stop at the line. Remember in that 1 cubic foot is a lot of air space. Ever hear of a bakers dozen???
Yep very true! I’d say most of the bundles I made were well over the “lines” drawn on the bundler rack!
Im interested on a bundler. Trying to find one that freight doesn't kill me. Have a Safe Day
Yeah I’ve been wanting to build one of my own of a while now
Jake: I do like the look's of the Hud-Son. But, when you go to their Web page, there's No Prices. "You have to call & talk to someone, to get a starting price. Now for the Bundles, you well have to alter your splits some to work your bundles, fuller & tighter. Catch you #234
Next go around when making bundles I’ll have a few totes set aside with “bundle wood”
Doing bundles is kind of a pain in the butt for me at least. One word of advice, watch when you pull your hand out of the first wrap. I got a really nasty splinter in the palm of my hand. It felt like it went into my palm and all the way out of my finger tip but I was just being a baby. It only went in about a quarter inch. It really did hurt though.
Ouch sounds like that would hurt!
Where are you located? CT?
Yes I am in CT
Stacking the pieces is taking too long. Set a standard size and go with that. Otherwise you have to change the splitter. Don't change an already established standard.
Also, use the last piece of wood to hold down the stretch wrap down instead of your hand. Might be faster.
So, if it’s adjustable, could someone make bundles of 12 inch wood?
Yes I believe so, as long as you have narrow wrap
How much are they
They were about 1500 without shipping. Not sure what prices risen to now.
Ok thanks
I will say it again........Sarah has great legs!
Advertise your location of the firewood and they will come...
Yeah I’ve thought about making an ad for the stand but something about posting my address up in the ad for everyone to see throws me off…
@@DudeRanchDIY yeah I'm the same way that's why I do my firewood a town over from where I live
12 "×12"×16" are 1.33 cubic foot bundles just to let you know they are not 1 cubic foot bundles.
Right that’s exactly why the lines were drawn on the bundler rack and we weren’t filling it up completely! Thanks for watching
@@DudeRanchDIY Sorry only dimensions I heard in the video were 12" by 12" by 12" by 16". I did not hear you actually mention what size your bundles were And the dimensions. Only size I heard was one ft³. And I'm a math Nerd.
9x12x16= 1728 cu in, which is one cubic foot. 128 bundles per cord. Even at 5.00$ that's 640 a cord, not too bad.
way over priced typical of Hudson products that i.m.0 are cheaply made, I owned 2 of there sawmills, both junk
🤷🏼♂️
