    Diego, I love the way you always clean up after yourself!
    My old dad always said a good work man always clears up!
    My grandson recently got an award for " his resilience in working" I guess you get the same!
    Lots of love from Wolverhampton!

    Hi Diego, Diogo here. Wonderfull video as usual. I hope one day some company would sponsorship you with a log splitter. You deserve it. And gonna save you a lot of energy or to gather more wood or to keep pushing the repairs on the cabin and who knows build another wood shed or extend the existing one 💪

    Hello Diego !! What does one do on an early Sunday morning ??
    You make some coffee, meditate and bit, then watch Diego chop wood !! A good start to the day. Say hello to the Lovely Julia for us.
    You are not far from Mount Rainier !! A beautiful mountain to hike in the summer time. Stay warm and dry out there.

    Try the fiskars 36" splitting axe, I use a log splitter mostly but the big rounds that won't fit i splitting in half with the axe and it blows through huge rounds with no problem, it's lighter and does better than my splitting maul.

    Firewood is firewood. Warms us a few times from start to finish. 😉 I’m sure glad the “blowdowns” are a good mix of oak and maple, birch, here. At the least it heats a bit longer in the stove.
    Keep up the good work. $300 a cord is not unheard of here.

    I split all our wood by hand like you. I have incorporated a fiskars spliting ax along with the maul. I believe, speed and velocity is almost as powerful as the mass of the maul, with less physical work. That splitting ax is really a game changer, after you get the rounds halfed.

  • @larrykoroush6995
    @larrykoroush6995 Час назад

    I ended up making a ramp to roll 30 plus inch wide rounds into the back. Plus, I had a headache rack. I liked getting the wood fast and splitting at home in my spare time. Nice work. Free is free.

    Hope you like your rear window because if you keep piling that wood high in your truck it will eventually be going through it. Make a rack and just put it on when you are going to get wood . Done. Nice of you to look after your friend Al .

    The older and wiser I’ve become I now just get 4 to 6 inch branches to cut up, end up with loads more done and ready to burn without the need to split anything, I’ve done the large rounds when younger and even with a hydraulic splitter it’s just not worth all the effort

    When we harvest wood at camp my buddy uses sidewalk chalk and a piece of wood he has marked at various lengths for what he likes to cut. Keeps the chalk and wood with his saws. Works flawlessly. Simple and effective.

  • @spanko208

    get an old bike innertube and wrap it around the halves, then split it. That way your not bending over 300 times to pickup what you've split. Just a suggestion ; )

    3/4's of one of those rounds in white birch is enough to keep our home warm for the entire day, just wondering how much wood you use per day as using half your shed already just sounds excessive. Maybe difference in insulation of our houses? (scandinavian house) Or maybe oven efficiency?

    Hey Diego, please please grab that chainsaw correctly! Your left hand thumb needs to grab that handle from bottom, securely holding the saw. You have really powerful saw, nobody wants you to hurt yourself! @4:49

    Make a Cut on the side on each block with the chainsaw so you're getting the tension out. you will see the the chopping goes easier. you can split them with one shot in half

    Time is money. I understand you like to do the chopping for exercise but it would be worth it to have a log splitter with a hydraulic lift for the volume of wood you chop when your short on time.

    I really wish you would invest in a trailer with a winch. Better for you and your truck. Winching large pieces on to the trailer and taking them home would make life easier and you could choose to make lumber instead of firewood

  • @Kangenpower7
    @Kangenpower7 Час назад +1

    Suggestion! Take those rounds that you brought home, let one sit for a week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks. Then determine if the effort to cut them into firewood size is easy, easier and easiest! I think that after 4 weeks, the logs will fall apart much less effort compared to when they are wet with sap.
    Just a thought.
    Another thing. You mentioned that cutting the logs into 16" rounds, it is more difficult to break into firewood than when cut to 14" or 12". So with a 12 foot long log, (144 inches) you will get 12 of the 12" long rounds, or 10 of the 14" rounds, or 9 of the 16" rounds. So is it more difficult to break up 12 of the shorter logs, 10 of the 14" or only 9 of the longest ones?

    • @Kangenpower7
      @Kangenpower7 Час назад

      Many people who cut a lot of firewood have been told to rotate the bar, so it is sometimes right side up, sometimes upside down. When you own a pickup, the trailer is just another vehicle to find a parking spot for it.
      Many times they also have 2-3 sharpened chain saw blades too.
