In Arkansas I sold bundles of firewood but I didn’t use plastic I used the hay bale strings from the bales that I fed the horses and cows I tied them up with the string as a handle
You are Right on Joe. Making Bundles of Firewood to sell at a local Store. Only takes a few Minutes to make Quality Firewood. Keep it up my Friend and great video as always. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.
Coming from a person who buys from mom and pop shops and the Big store I always wondered why sum times it shows the name of where the wood came from and sum wood didn’t have a name on the wrap / ropes now I know 😊
These are my favorite type of videos from you. Work getting done, sales happening and educational regarding the business side of things. We don't have issues getting a supply of logs, but our issue is being able to sell for enough money and that's because of location. We make good money bringing firewood to a city but out in the forest where we are it's tough.
I've had a Jackson steel handle wheelbarrow for 20 years...if you appreciate a well made wheelbarrow, it is a Cadillac for sure. Unfortunately they quit making that model. Likely due to try the AM Leonard 🔥
Nice looking bundles 👍 I agree that the visual aspect of bundles over bags is important. Your bundles are huge compared to what is sold locally to me, and a better price.
@@ohiowoodburner I live in an area with a relatively large lumber industry where a full cords of firewood goes between $125-$160 because wood is so prevalent. I shake my head when I see firewood bundles for $8.50 that are half the size of your bundles. Good video 👍
Afternoon Good choice going with Go Fast ! My Blue and Yellow wrappers I needed parts for never showed up after talking with owner and now the phone number is disconnected …
I don't know the agreement Joe has with his clients but typically if one would get into a store with bundles the store gets 40%-50%. So one would sell the bundle to the store for $5-$6 and the store sells it for $10. Just an example
Seems most retailers work off a 40% markup. You can see what competitors are selling theirs for at retail and calculate your price based on that. That is a good starting point for negotiating
Good evening! Did you have a yellow twister firewood wrapper? I might of missed the video that you said you got rid of it. Just wondering what happened to it. Thank you.
I have the blue Twister. I still have it. I wanted a second machine for redundancy and I didn't feel Twister was a viable choice anymore. Gofast is an excellent machine with a responsive support system
Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. As I mentioned before, bundles don't exist in this part of the world. Perhaps if I was 40 years younger I could launch the concept onto an unsuspecting public but I'll leave it to a younger generation. Do you have to adjust the tension of the wrapper as the diameter of the roll reduces?
It seems I am always chasing the tension but when I first put on a new roll it stays good for a while. As the roll gets smaller you have to reduce or it will snap.
Producing firewood is separate from making bundles. Otherwise Ithe costs of production would be factored twice and that would anger the TH-cam accountants
The big deal for me is GoFast will answer their phone/call you back if you leave a message, need a part etc. There is nothing wrong with the Twister machine.
Hi Joe. I think that is low probability. This last trip had a lot of moving parts for me to get there and I had a slow delivery week. I don't have any other planned time off right now
Disagree. The cutting, splitting and hauling is to make firewood. The wrapping is to make bundles. My calculations are gross, not net. Not sure what the big deal is. Learn the whole story before you post.
Another YT Accountant has shown their head in chat again. Conservatively the actual cost per bundle is less than $2 each, more like less than $1.50c per bundle but leave it at $2. Sell to the Store at $5 per bundle, so $3 profit per bundle x 20 bundles = $60 per half hour x 2 = $120 per hour, bring it back to $80 per hour profit. $80 per Hour is pretty good do you think? Do you want my figures to get to these numbers or are you smart enough to work them out for yourself with a little bit of brain power?
Oh, it’s Joe in his own wood yard! Heh heh. Elaine from Canada here, you look comfortable doing your own thing again, taking are of business. You really got those bundles made up in no time too, nice. Good to hear another load of logs are arriving, the 405 will be hungry. Have a great week, cheers.
It takes longer than twenty mins. I believe your selling false dreams. You have to cut it split it then let it dry for a year so yea 20 mins your dreaming
Nope...you got it all wrong but that is ok. I still am grateful for commenting on the vid. The cutting, splitting etc is factored into the production of the firewood. The wrapping is calculated into the making of bundles. If I were to factor production into the bundling I am calculating my overhead twice and that will make the TH-cam accountants angry. There is a cost for the wood and wrap, obviously, but...this shouldn't be a big secret here...my factoring is based on gross, not net.

IM a firewood Guy I like the New Cool tool's you have been reviewing! thank's a million for the vids!
In Arkansas I sold bundles of firewood but I didn’t use plastic I used the hay bale strings from the bales that I fed the horses and cows I tied them up with the string as a handle
It’s kinda funny they use crap that won’t burn
I always enjoy watching you making bundles and the commentaries that go with it!!
haha... thanks bill!
Quick work of the bundles. Joe you have to build your log supplier list up as your production has gone up. Dont stress, you will get some logs.
haha after this vid I had two loads come in!
You are Right on Joe. Making Bundles of Firewood to sell at a local Store. Only takes a few Minutes to make Quality Firewood. Keep it up my Friend and great video as always. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.
Thanks Ron. Bundles are the way to go for sure
Good looking bundles joe good to see you back at work
You go
Welcome back from your "vacation". Great to see you breaking a "sweat" or perhaps just breaking a rain. 🤠👍👍👍👍
We finally have a break from the heat. This week wasn't too bad. Hope it stays that way for a while
Coming from a person who buys from mom and pop shops and the Big store I always wondered why sum times it shows the name of where the wood came from and sum wood didn’t have a name on the wrap / ropes now I know 😊
Have a great day Joe.
Thanks Bob
Nice bundles Joe! I was hoping to see the log load. Maybe in the next video. Have a great day! - Tim
It should be on the next vid. Depends on my sched!
I think you should put a self serve stand at the woodyard with bags. No power needed 😉
Have a good week man!
haha. That may happen!
Bob, are the bagger buckets in stock or are they on back order?
@@TheWoodSnob Currently in stock. The buckets are only sold separately if you already own our bagging station just an fyi.
@@BacktoBob1 what's your email?

Thanks for your comment. One of the rules of firewood is it is worth more in the city!

Hi Joe 👋🏻 its been awhile !!
I like seeing your content!!
Have a Great Day !!!
Thanks Dan!

well, the price I threw out in this vid would be a wholesale price LOL

Thats some nice wood you have there sir.
I'm noticing a nice stripe on those lawns ... got to do mine this morning ... don't much mind riding the mower but the weed whacking is a chore
haha I hate mowing grass. My wife does that chore. She enjoys it
Another excellent video Joe 😮😊❤
Thanks Todd
Afternoon
Good choice going with Go Fast ! My Blue and Yellow wrappers I needed parts for never showed up after talking with owner and now the phone number is disconnected …
That was the way i saw things going. I needed a second wrapper and I needed a company that supports it.
Joe you have got a lot faster with bundles. Keep up going!!
when you do it enough you get fast LOL
Thank you, whoever followed Joe, as he bunbled his firewood.
Thanks for watching
Nice looking bundles, Joe. 😉👍
Thanks Dan

Yep…a slower pace is often better, Joe! Take time to smell the wood chips…oooh that was bad. 🤪
haha... That works for me Dave

Hey 👋 Joe
Hello
$100 in 20 minutes. Only if you get your neighbor to cut the wood for you.
Producing firewood is separate from making bundles. Otherwise Ithe costs of production would be factored twice and that would anger the TH-cam accountants
Very nice Maschine...
Hey Joe, does the store take a certain percentage from your wood sales. I'm gonna start doing the same where I'm at so just curious.
I sell mine wholesale to my accounts. Just negotiate the best price for both of you
Hi Joe, Why is the GoFast better than the Twister machine?
The big deal for me is GoFast will answer their phone/call you back if you leave a message, need a part etc. There is nothing wrong with the Twister machine.
Hello from Joe The Grower in NY. Wanted to see if you could set up a visit to my farm?
Hi Joe. I think that is low probability. This last trip had a lot of moving parts for me to get there and I had a slow delivery week. I don't have any other planned time off right now
Is that a 12” x 12” tray?
This is. I have shims to shrink it to 9" x 9"
Joe, is that maple you're bundling, mixed, or?
Mostly all maple with a few cherry.
However you should add in all the time cutting splitting hauling etc. it ain’t 20 minutes. Tell the whole story and time and gas involved
Disagree. The cutting, splitting and hauling is to make firewood. The wrapping is to make bundles. My calculations are gross, not net. Not sure what the big deal is. Learn the whole story before you post.

@@mrdbooks7285 me make wood. Yippee. Big piles wood. Ug guh
@@mrdbooks7285 I want your figures please. On yellow paper with lines. Sometimes my figures wander around if you know what I mean

Thanks Elaine. I have my tractor in the shop so I'm still not running the 405. Hope to later this week!
An upcoming new famous log hauler coming soon?
Haha no. Just the logs, no interview!
Good Morning Joe: I’m waiting on a Go Fast bundler I have on order. I’m going to try to make it to the Paul Bunyan Show this year.
You will love it Rich. Nice machine and makes life much easier
Do you prefer the twister or the go fest rapper.
Here we go with the YT math again...🙄
haha Should always have a disclaimer coming from me.
It takes longer than twenty mins. I believe your selling false dreams. You have to cut it split it then let it dry for a year so yea 20 mins your dreaming

Hello Joe, we Stihl use bags, nice bundles. 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Nice! When you use bags you have to Poulan the strings to tie them
Have a great day Joe.
Will do buddy
