I have been doing the same thing for the last 19 years. I used a medium soup can and squeezed one side to make the mouth for easier pouring. As a matter of fact, i made about 120 of them this week. My supplies ran low, therefore, I made a bunch for use at the cabin and camping.

Hello Tony, just curious if you were to cut a V groove in your bottom 2 logs near the end where you could roll your top logs into for bucking your logs to help prevent them from rolling on you. It may save you some grief. Just a thought. Cheers Woody!!!

The muffler mod will definitely make a difference but you’ll have to pull the limiters out of the carb so you can adjust. You’ll be able to lean it out quite a bit that’ll help in the power department also. There are a bunch of videos out there on how to do it.

Hey Tony got to love the 12-22. I use the 7 way box wedge for the most part. Most of my logs are above 14 inches up to 40 inches in diameter. So the box wedge works best for me. I haven’t split for a long time due to working on the house. Still trying to get back in from the fire. We’re getting there. Keep going buddy.

Great video, just found your channel and was impressed about idea as to trying to find out how long it takes to split a face cord at normal speed then gauge your pricing. Several questions if I may, first you stated how much you paid for the wood from there could you calculate the cost of bucking, stacking, you have splitting and everything thur delivery to getting money in your pocket? I have seen tons of videos that show splitting times but my thought is to get a total cost of raw materials to adding labor, ware and tear on equipment, advertising, everything all the way to the point of sale for say 1 face core of wood. Reason for asking is I would like to sell some wood but like other peoples input as to a total on their operation, know it may vary from person to person and area to area but thought it might be a start, thank you very much and keep up the great videos. North Western Pa.

Once you get your time down then you'll be thinking about how much fuel you burn in saws, tractor, and splitter. All good things to consider. I try to make really good firewood...uniform length, minimum touches of the ground to keep it clean, split size no bigger than one handers, don't run out (which I do every year) and dry enough to burn. Then I searched for firewood in my area and made mine $20 higher than the most expensive guy on FBMP. It doesn't split itself and our time is valuable. Don't leave any money on the table.

Well done. It seems to me getting and holding onto enough inventory to make home heating wood worth it seems like a tall task especially in your area. It’s tough waiting for the payoff.
