The book provides clear illustrations th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO diagrams that cover many of the essential topics. The projects at the end of the book are valuable for enhancing your skills and creating your own furniture. A digital platform linked to the book that could offer the plans for other woodworking projects with the cut sheets would have been a nice addition, but overall, the book is excellent.
I continue to be impressed with all you do to take care of your family. You seem to know how to do many things and are determined to complete what you start. M. Belinda Davis in NC
I've got my fair share of incomplete projects around the place. Appreciate you watching.
Watching a man or woman working their ass off for their family impresses the hell out of me... keep it up and God bless
Great video! Takes me back to when I was young and cutting/selling firewood. Extremely hard work but I loved. Of course back then I didn’t have power splitter just ax and steel wedges. I can still smell the wood. I was in best physical shape of my life then. Thanks for taking me back.
That was an amazing white oak. Looked pretty perfect on the inside.
Im always curious to see how much wood is in a log. By the looks of it. If the base diameter was 27”. There was little tapper. And appeared to be at least 20’ of clear straight grain. Using the volume formula for a cylinder. V=pi r squared times height
If radius is 12” and the height is 240”
There was 108,573.44 cubic inches . Or roughly half a cord. Of course that’s solid so add .20% once split and you get .60 of a cord. And round up to say 2 face cords. At most you get $300 for that amount of fire wood. However if you took 108,573cubic inches and divided by 144 you’d have 753 board feet of lumber. At $4 per board foot. That comes out to $3,000. Just something to think about. That’s on the low end. Could be even higher. I realize it’s location would have made it challenging to get it out. I Just hate seeing amazing wood get turned into fire wood. $3000 could have bought you a 90cc saw and an Alaskan saw mill with money left over. And yes your videographer was very good.
So much hard work for us to be able to watch this video. Not only you have to record and edit video material, but also do maintanace on your equipment. I am thankful for your dedication. This in imho a good entertainment.
This video is so informative yet calming at the same time. Keep sending them!
So much hard work for one person..You are Great.
Not only did you work hard to recover that beautiful white oak, your videography skills are simply outstanding! Thanks for a relaxing video with a wonderful version of Amazing Grace.
Thank you!
Perfect way to start a video - "Amazing Grace" wow!! God bless them!!
Is it white oak or is it red oak? It looks like it has a red ish color to me on the inside
Appreciate the time you put into creating a great video while doing back breaking work.
My Brother, your videos are always a blessing to me! Be blessed!
What a way to spend the day - well for the viewers anyway - love your videos - Thank You!!!
Looks a whole like work. Nice to have the equipment to make it easier. Technology controls productivity.
Excellent camera work!
It's the hard way, but its also how a lot of folks including myself have to get firewood. Good to know that I am not the only one
I do the very same things as you do up here in northern Minnesota! Sawmills, tractors, harvesting firewood in the woods! Keep up the great work! Love your videos!
Your cinematography is getting increasingly sophisticated. Really impressed by the trouble you take to get these shots.
The woodsman rides off to the sunset with his firewood! Well done! 💪👍
A man a jeep and the woods....enough said!!
Nothing easy about that. Great job Sir.
Great footage. That log-splitter is a good gadget, and it'sa good advertisement for the Jeep too. Motivation for that must be thinking of when t he snow is deep & crisp & even and you're all indoors with a nice fire and wood stove churning out the heat!
Thankfully not a lot of snow around here...but yes, I do think ahead to cold days and hot fires.
Reminds be of back in the day when younger. Always enjoyed being in the woods cutting trees for fire wood. Brings back good memories. Thanks for sharing. Iowa cares. :)
Now that's a workout that beats any gym. Love the old Jeep. Used to own a '47 Willys. Just about no where they can't go. Fantastic video of a real working man.
Love that music, tree climbing Jeep God Bless!
Reminds me of all the cords of wood we pulled out of the mountains in Colorado when I was a teenager. Always enjoyed it.
I specially liked the picture of the drone taking off---two thousand years in the twinkling of an eye.....Excellent....Stu
Thank you brother
That was truly a great day
You are an inspiration to everyone God bless you and your's
You have a great day and know this I appreciate your hard work and the great videos
Just Saying
Wonderful video, I can only imagine how much work and time is involved in making a video this long, your videos are alway first class 👍
My all time favorite tune, no matter how it's done.
Incredible. Really appreciate amount of thinking effort hardwork u do.Aerial view was awesome.Great video very relaxing👍👍🔥🔥
Hola eres muy bendecido con lo Dios te ha dado ... saludos desde el país de Chile 🇨🇱 disfruto viendo todo tu trabajo y familia
I love that LAND!!! It has everything!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The shot of the jeep going down the hill was 🔥🔥
Amazing grace was truth you did not tip over....thank you for tge video and song...needed this today
Thank you for watching! Thankful you enjoyed it.
Yuuup - you're becoming quite the professional with your cinematography, my friend !!
Everything is looking quite green in your neck of the woods !! I'm impressed and thank you for sharing !!
Great video Wes! I think I would get lost in those woods! You're right - hard work, but you gotta keep the family warm in the winter. I haven't done any chainsawing for quite a few years - I've got an old Echo saw here in the UK, big engine, smallish bar, and it started to play havoc with my back. Loved the outtakes! Stay safe & well! 👍👍
Wow, I'm ready for a nap after all that work.
Love the music in this video
Man I’m sweating just watching this! Were from GA also and try to get all our wood cut/stacked after hunting season in January-March before it gets too hot and all the critters come out. Props to you for getting it done single handily!
Good video. Love the drone shots
I know you worked your tail off making this video but I believe watching it is the most relaxing thing I've done all day. Love the music. Thanks for all you do. P.S. Watch them saplings.
soooooooo relaxing............i agree !
Hard work but quite satisfying. Well done.
Zippity doo dah!! A Fall Line Ridge. (No idea how to spell it) 🤣🤣
lol Dianne....perfect
My friend in Trinidad introduced me to your videos, thanks for the great content!
Awesome! Thank you!
Good job 👍 From Cadillac Michigan
Great camera work Wes, good job on the log also.
Thanks for inspiring me to get out to the woods!
@Jeff Hogue I also enjoyed watching this video

Fantastic
Good job, great old Jeep, I have a old 1984 CJ7, looks similar,
Burning firewood is efficient, it warms you cutting splitting it, then again when you burn it,
Looks like the same hard work that we do preparing for winter. For the longest time we used a maul.an axe, and a wedge. We started getting down in our backs and sprung for a hydraulic splitter. That thing will still work the fire out of you. We got a lot more work done though. Good luck Tim!
I see a saw log.... That's how it's done young man, back in the early eighties my 68 Kaiser jeep was my mule I'd skid a good hitch back to the cabin. the splitter though ! Keep up the good work. Maine.
If people only knew the time to set up all the different shots, log footage, and product video, they would appreciate this video even more. So much work went into the content and production. Well done my friend.
small engine repairs is the 8th circle of hell.
I have almost the same splitter, & how I do it (with the big ones) is quarter them all in the vertical position so they are a manageable size then I split them to the finished size in the horizontal position because that is a far more comfortable position
THAT is a greatly made video! I'm a firewood scrounger also.
Wow. Being a city slicker, I really enjoyed watching that. Thanks
amazing grace......
Would love to be able to do what you do. Great video effects, thank you
A log splitter hitched to an old Jeep, driving through the woods is about as good as it gets. Livin the dream brotha.
Thats some choice firewood. Nice straight grain. Ive been doing the same lately myself. I found a big red oak that fell in 2017 . I save the first 20 feet for Sawmill. Rest was for cold fronts next winter. Lots work but i enjoy cutting firewood. It'll be well worth the effort.
I’d call it a relaxing afternoon, no phones ringing and out for a ride in the Jeep. Great video, keep safe my friend
Good old L65 Husqvarna. Great saw back in the day.
Wes, I could have watched you drive 1,000 miles with that music. Enjoyed the video very much.
Woww you have great abilities everywhere. Cutting the wood is tough work. I have done it myself. You seem to do it naturally. The angles for the video are spectacular.
Every version of Amazing Grace just grabs my soul every single time I hear it. ❤
Good stuff man. If you get the chance I highly recommend a stump vice. So hand for sharpening in the field and it fits I. Your pocket too! I always bring mine when I go to the woods to process logs.
The guy with the coolest toys always wins.
I will be doing that by the end of this month. I try not to get trees that big though, I use a 16" saw and anything too big I split with a splitting wedge so I can lift it into the trailer, take it home and split it and stack it, just enough to get me through next winter, about 6 cords, work by myself and rest whenever I feel like it, after all I am 74 years old now, so I rest when I want, Where I am cutting it is mostly cherry wood, and makes a real pretty wood pile. LOL
Six cords is nuts. That would probably last us 3 years or more here. I think that's a wise plan on the tree size, if this one had not blown over I wouldn't have touched it.
@@falllineridge I cut about 6 cords last summer and still have just over a cord left to get me started this year. I heat only with my wood burning insert in my fireplace, it has a blower in it and a couple strategically-located fans and it heats the whole house. I live alone so don't have to please anybody but mysef. LOL Keep the house at about 70 to 75 degrees and the neighbors most of the time can't even see any smoke coming out of the chimney. Start cutting now and don't start burning until October . so it is dried out enough to burn clean. I live in NW Pennsylvania, so once I start burning, I keep it going until April. Gas furnace died a few years ago and just don't have the funds to get a new one. I like wood heat any ways. and my insert has a big glass window so I can see the fire.
Yep that's doing it the hard way but it's also the better way. I did this many a years and where I live it takes a lot of wood to winter over. The music overlay was perfect brings back so many memories of when I played that song on many different instruments. Big part of my life I spent playing Gosphel music.
It's definitely the better way. It's very satisfying work.
Too old to do this anymore, but spent a lot of time with my sons teaching them the value of hard work. I made sure they were proficient with a maul and wedges years before I bought a splitter.
Amo esse seu trabalho
I'd be willing to bet that you are one strong Dude.
Good choice in music I really enjoyed that brother. Jeep= The Original Side by Side/UTV.
Your videos are , as Jack Perkins of A&E would say , TIME WELL SPENT .
I love how that chainsaw sounds.
The Husky 455 is my primary saw for things that size. I have a Lithelli 40V saw for incidentals, and a Homelite Ranger for the inbetweens.
We used to do that when I was a kid with a slight difference. We had a wood heat stove, the ol timey cast iron wood stove to heat the house kind, so, of course, needed firewood. Just me, my sister, and Dad would go deep into the woods and he'd cut down trees and cut logs with a chainsaw, and my sister and I would pick them up and load them into the back of the truck. It was cold as all get out too as well. Once we got home, Dad would split the logs with an axe. Old school.
Geese Louise Wes, that's a killer of time. Too bad you couldn't bring that log back for some lumber. Great video, thumbs up.
Hard work but dry wood which will come in handy next winter. Nice job.
From previous great videos------->can you tell me if your grapple is the Worx Duty Root Grapple model or the Severe Xtreme Duty Root Grapple model from "Construction Attachments" ?
Best Regards,
SWWW
Wow that looks like a lot of work! My back hurt watching.
Mike Morgan: I'm gonna use the Kubota KX057-4 mini excavator to build a road big enough to get the MX5400 and the Wallenstein skidding wench down to the tree, then we'll get the logs back to the Wood-Mizer or the Wolfe Ridge with the tractor.
Wes: Honey, where's the keys to the Jeep?
#falllineridge #owtm #outdoorgans
Say what... the hard way indeed! However, I must say... I'm totally in awe of the accuracy and style of that tire pressure gauge you're using on those splitter tires!! Totally! 😉😁
As a woodworker, it pains my heart to see beautiful white oak turned into firewood
Win, win, win. A day in the woods, equipment, ocomplishment.
Hey Wes. Hope all is well with you and the fam. Love cutting wood. I bought my first saw when I was 13. Your saw looks like either and older Husqvarna or Echo. Couldn’t tell which. I cut approximately 6 cord a year. The winters here in Canada are a bit longer and colder than Georgia. Love the ole jeep. That oak will make great wood. I would guess that splitter came from tractor and supply?
Yep, it's a Tractor Supply special. Been a good one so far. It's a Husqvarna L65.
@@falllineridge thats a good ole saw. And thanks. I know you are busy and have a lot of subs and comments, but I appreciate that you always comment back. Be blessed and have a great week
Do it all the time and saw split the wood no log splitter
Great video. Used to split by hand. Nonetheless, even with the hydraulic splitter, that’s still a lot of work. However that good hard work I believe, will keep your muscles strong and keep you healthy. Rest often and be safe.
I've split a good bit of wood by hand as well. Makes you really appreciate a splitter.
Nice log
That’s why I always take several saws with me when I am cutting. I never sharpen a saw in the field and I never take a saw with me that is not in top topcoat ndition.I have 12 saws with over half of them big pro saws. My choice is more dependent on their bar length than anything else. I usually carry two 24 inch saws,two 20 inch saws and one 16-18 inch saw for brush clearing and small limb cutting chores. The other four are for cutting and bucking.
Nicely done. Beautifully shot video of a lot of manual labor. Been wrestling with a monster oak of here that blew over last year. 48" at the base. There is about 10 ft. of it I can not really wrestle with. Would love a tilting splitter as I need to get my son to help to wrestle the chunks up on the spltter to process. Beats doing it by hand though.
Hello from Chicago! Lovely woods, so beautiful. I'd love to know more about the Jeep, what year, what engine, tires, etc. It's fantastic.
It's a 76 CJ5. It's got a 230, straight 6 GM engine. The tires are Super Swampers. When I got it it burned propane, but I converted it back to gas. It's been a great one so far.
7:04 surely windfall! does windfall make chainsaw cuts?
Great use of Drone.
Self reliance is a good thing !
OOHHHH the ANGUISH! using white oak as fahr wuud!
Thanks for the footage 🦶, and keep up the great work! 👍 Do you usually not lift the front of the bar when you're tightening the chain, or was that just part of the video missing it?
Great clip. What kinda chainsaw sharpen do you use? My wife bought me the one from harbor freight. Are they any good?nice Jeep you got. A Real one before they got cheap.
I see you splitting that wood and can only think of the many beautiful bowls that I could turn from that. Enjoy your channel though. It is a nice change from the wood turning channels I usually watch.
What was the kind of vine you cut. 🇨🇦
Laughing about the start of your video.... and I am a very avid follower of yours!! You spent good time sharpening you saw, showed the replacement of the bar and chain and then you put the chain holding plate back on. All of that near text book like it is supposed to be done. Then you go to put the nuts on the plate.
If you dont clean everything near perfect.... dirt and dust like you left under the nuts that hold the plate on is what makes your chain loosen up and that causes a whole plethora of problems! Lmao! Just ragging you a bit. I really enjoy watching your vids
Very well made! What equipment is used for video & sound recording?
