SUPER LOG HOLDER cut your firewood with ease
hi this is a short video of my new log holder ( timber horse ) very easy to use with little metal guide bars in each slot which is facing you in the video but its much easier to cut your timber from the other side with the guide bars facing you , load her up with 8 - 10 - 12 - 14 foot lengths of timber and off you go , cut away on your own all day long at your own pace and with the log holder made from all treated timber you will not damage your chain even if you do cut deeper than your supposed to , ( you will get used to the depth of the bottom logs after a few cuts )great little invention and easy to use , thanks for watching .... by the way i forgot to mention ALWAYS put small logs on the bottom and large heavy logs on top this will hold everything in place and make cutting that little bit safer

I have a 5 acre bush block with our house on it. It is heavily trees and there are always dead ones l remove cutting them into 4 ft lengths and standing them against a tree. I have a similar setup as this but it has a wheel and handles like a wheel barrow l take it to the stack cut the logs into 1 ft blocks and bring them down in a wheel barrow this saves getting the long lengths to my wood shed much easier to bring the foot blocks down. I have to use a wheelbarrow as getting a vehicle up there is too difficult and would cause a lot of damage to the ground. I have been doing this for 8 years and you can't see where l have been.
Непонятно, зачем оставлены металлические накладки, можно не рассчитать и зацепить цепью пилы. Если это ориентир пилить, то прикрутить необходимо было ниже. Станок неплохой в целом.
GREAT IDEA!
Such short pieces! How are you going to stack them?
Mouse stove!

Must be a small stove. Great idea though
Super
Fast and safer way to saw branches . Also less spinning or kickback .nice video . Thanks
Safety glasses my friend!
I've used something similar and I found that by not cutting all the way through the bottom logs it holds all the other logs up (so they don't fall down) and you can just grab an armload while they are nice and tidy. You could have a much thicker bit or a boars on the bottom, as long as you don't cut through it. I find it doesn't last forever bit is really handy while it does, until you end cutting through it. No bending over, nice tidy stack to grab
great video. gets shit done. respect from Norway
One of the better ones I've looked at so far, I have about the same. The mine is longer and I put a bottom in it so they don't fall to the ground, saves bending over to pick them up again.
Great idea for cutting a lot of wood at once to length for an indoor wood stove.
Great jig! However... use your intelligence a bit more... wear something to keep yourself from injury! Come on, really!? Nothing but a hat??
Very nice log cutting rack ! I will be building one like yours ! Lot of good ideas you have in yours that I had not thought of, I was going to do a traditional sawbuck style until I saw your video ! Good video. Sorry for all the bad comments.... likely written by people who have never cut firewood or run a saw. Thanks again, there are people who like and appreciate your posting this video !!
WTF I am an idiot why I cut every time one by one. An awesome solution to time-saving cool man. That will be my next project. Thanks a lot. Cheers Tim
Приятно смотреть когда цепь острая 😊
No Savety Equipment... NOGO!
That is a cool idea! Nice job
Amazing 👍👍👍
That's a great jig. The middle outer support is kinda high though. I would suggest to put it lower, somewhere below your knees. This way you won't worry about hitting the chain, as well as use is as a leg rest if you get tired.
Wish I could get all my timber pre-trimmed and equal size like that.
I like your log holder. It's a simple, easy to build, and low cost construction project which lets you easily cut firewood to length. I've seen a video on TH-cam of a much more complicated, heavy, and costly design that wasn't nearly as good as yours is. I like yours much better and will be building one like it for use on my farm soon. I do think I may add a pyramid shaped chute that peaks in the center of the rack which will funnel half the wood to the left and the other half to the right as it falls down after cutting. I can then just pull my wheelbarrow under the end of the chute and let gravity roll most of the logs into the wheelbarrow. As I move down the rack cutting the wood, I can simply swap the wheelbarrow from one end to the other. This is a good set up that you demonstrated. Thanks for sharing the video!
I was thinking about this and you could probably just have it going one way, maybe away from the side you are cutting on. Then all the wood ends up in place instead of two. Might even be able to have it roll into your shed straight away, out of the weather
Thx for smart idea
I always find eye protection is a little more comfortable than a hard frown. Also what about head, hand, leg and ear protection. Idea is sound though but seriously you never know when things could go wrong so be prepared.
Amen🙏🏽
Agree m8 you need protection never know
Eyes and ears, sure but a hard hat? Why? Nothing is going to fall on him. He's not cutting anywhere near his legs and keeping a good grip on the blunt end of the saw is the key to safety, most of the time.
I made a firewood cutting rack similar to this many years sgo from 1.5 inch angle iron, and it served me well. Suggestions: Secure the rack to a concrete slab; you don't want any chance of things moving around while using a chain saw. Make the cutting rack about 8 feet long so that long pieces are better supported, you can load multiple short logs lengthwise at a time, and you get more done with one loading of the rack. Space the vertical supports apart horizontally to the length of firewood you want; if you want 14" long pieces, space them so that the distances between the verticals are 14" apart center-to-center. All you have to do is eyeball your cuts down the middle between the verticals. Make REMOVABLE horizontal crossbars at each vertical with the tops of the crossbars at the height you want to cut the logs, probably about 3.5 feet above the ground. When you want to cut a bunch of branches or small stuff into firewood-length pieces, remove the crossbars, fill the rack to the top, and go to it.
Seeing this 8 months later, great ideas and definitely going to build one tomorrow with all those suggestions, minus the concrete because I'll be moving it around. Thanks for the ideas! Im sick of a sore back from always cutting on the ground!
A number 1 idiot. Put the saw down and walk away.
Number 1 armchair quarterback.
Congratulations. The best and most practical I have seen
Parabens. O melhor e mais prático que ja vi.
Don't listen to these health n safety jerks. If you want to cut firewood with no safety gear go for it mate. Nice set up might build one myself!
Anonymous wimps
Take it from an old timer who now has limited hearing and sought medical help several times for debris in the eye... You need eye and ear protection at a minimum. Gloves and steel toes are also recommended. Take care of yourself, please.
Wouldn't one eye debris issue be sufficient to motivate one to start using eye protection?
@@sleazoid99 50 years ago personal protective equipment was not readily available. The trades and other occupations simply didn't use PPE. Today you can buy safety glasses in a drug store and many companies insist the workers use safety equipment. I don't know how old you are or what type of work you do but the use of PPE is a relatively new practice.
@@clambert2020 Fair enough, didn't consider that.
No gloves is silly, but no eye protection is unconscionable.
Your picture sums you up..
Think you forgot ear protection
It is very unsafe to "drop start" a chainsaw, especially without the chain brake engaged. Saw on the ground (chain brake on), right foot in rear handle, left hand holding down the front handle, right hand pulling the starter rope. It may seem a bit awkward at first, but it gets easier with practice, and it's far safer. After each cut, you knock the pieces to the ground, which you then have to bend over and pick up. Just leave the wood in the rack, and load it into your wagon at waist height - much easier. Metal markers for cut length ? Just use a paint marker - cheaper, quicker, easier, and safer if your blade hits it. As others have said (and it's so dangerous, I'll repeat them) - safety glasses and hearing protection at a minimum. Adding steel-toed footwear and kevlar chaps would get you bonus points. Putting out a video that others will ostensibly learn from, it's reckless and irresponsible to glaringly omit PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and demonstrate dangerous techniques (drop-start). Nice rack. I made a large "X" frame sawbuck, load it with my tractor's pallet forks, and cut the wood with a 36" bar. Yours looks like it would work well with a 24" bar (a very common and easier to handle bar size).
С удовольствием Лайк.
nice idea, made one similar that fits inside my trailer, meaning I am using the saw at waist height plus the wood goes into the trailer which is then offloaded into a wheelbarrow and moved to my woodshed. This looks a tad high and I can imagine you getting tired much quicker. But where is your PPE? at the very least you should have trousers, you don't get many second chances with a chainsaw.
u could of f**king showed us how to build it, thanks for nothing
She got out the wrong side of the bed that day .
Do you have to be shown everything? Looks pretty simple
And your point , other to make a bunch of unnecessary piles of sawdust,& waisting wood , / l what a rocket scientist, anything to try to make a buck on utube, I'll not be subscribing, do something a 10 year old can't do
Something a 10 year old might be able to do is write a more coherent sentence than what you've just written.
wood the only material.that heats twice
what type of wood is that
D1 Big Shifter that's hazel alder one of the toughest hardwoods out there
Have a big wheel barrow or small trailer off the longer end, then no need to pick up the cuts off the ground. It would also pay you to have a pickeroon so you don't have to bend over and pick all the pieces up! You will understand this comment better as you get older! I have a similar version I use for cutting all the limbs on the trees I cut...keeps the saw out of the dirt so a lot less chain sharpening over a season of wood cutting.
Lame. This guy obviously has little experience with the topic.
It's a great idea. I made my first one years ago that was 4 foot long, 4 foot high, 1 foot wide -- that's 1/8 of a cord. Mine doesn't have the middle part like yours and it goes from the base up 4 feet. I know you probably thought it would be easier cutting at that height but really you don't need it. And depending on what I am cutting for (inside wood stove or my outside wood stove) I cut any lengths I want. Good job!!! Also, this is the best way to stack and cut branches -- very fast and easy.
Too many steps. Just cut on site and pickup and stack. Real man can out cut you 4 to 1.
Smallest woodstove ever takes 8 inch "logs" lol
hahaha so funny hahaha i bet you take 8 INS lol haha lol
Those aren't logs, their saplings and bush
Bush? Some of those are more than 4 inches in diameter and therefore are logs
My mistake, I meant to spell brush and Websters dictionary defines saplings as trees 4" and smaller, The word log imply's that the tree is big enough for the sawmill and lumber, or log cabin. When one average size guy can load ten "logs" in one minute they are not logs their brush and saplings. As someone who actually cuts and burns their own wood trying to heat your house with brush and saplings wouldn't seem to make much sense. I suppose if you had two or three small stoves in a big drafty house maybe but that guy must have to tend his stove hourly. I have to tend my fire(depending on temp) two and three times a day using real fire wood.
thomas brooch ,ever heard of a rocket stove ?
@@thomasbrooch8697 actually Europeans have traditionally used coppiced wood (which is small diameter regrowth from stumps) for firewood for centuries. They saw cutting down great big trees only to split them up into little bits as very wasteful of energy (especially using hand tools) and I happen to agree. We have used a similar system and if your wood is of the right diameter it means it is ready to go once cut, instead of needing to be split. Using more smaller branches saves time on splitting but there are more lengths to handle, so it depends on where you are trying to save time and energy, and also what resources you have available. Here in NZ we use manuka a lot, which is a shrubby weed, and it comes in straight poles up to about 4" diameter, so something like this is really useful for that. The bigger diameter the wood, the less useful this system is
Maybe if you set up some plywood underneath at a 45 angle it would defect some chunks out from under it?
You could give dimension this holder cut ?
hi its 4 FEET HIGH ... 4 FEET FROM RIGHT TO LEFT ... AND 18 INCHES DEEP ... THAT 18 INCHES IS HOW LONG MY CHAINSAW IS TO REACH THE OTHER SIDE
Thank you for your fast reply.
I'm workin on a similar model that is up on some sort of platform that, when cut, can collect the cut wood. Brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome build and video, love the close up too. :-))) I am now thinking of doing the same build for my 2 foot square fire pit so I can cut up the fallen branches quick n easy into 2 foot lengths. I plan to use 6 posts vs the 8 that you used to not only save on post wood(left over from pallets n other wood not being used) but I'm not needing the 2 extra posts for support for I'm only doing it for 2 foot lengths. I plan to make it 42" long giving me 3" on each end and one cut in the middle for two 2 foot lengths. Here's a quick photo I did off of your build showing what I'd like to do with measurements that are no where to scale, lol. prntscr.com/efj6ul (done from the Lightshot photo site, very safe, I use it tons daily for years.) I'd also like to add height holes for metal rods/pipes in the posts to adjust the log/branch height to fit my needs/wants. I'd also have the rods/pipes set up as to give side load support as the side support wood would not be there. In theory it sounds good n great, lol. Thank you tons for an awesome build video. :-)))
