52 beaver wow thats crazy! Better be making some Videos

[@sureflamefirewood4174]

That's alot of hats!!!

[@arthurr.2075]

Chris what does one do with all those beavers? Is there a lot of money in their fur? Are they edible?

[@InTheWoodyard]

@@arthurr.2075 Not much money in the fur, it mostly goes into hat production and the meat is good but most of it goes to my dads dog, he loves it . But the castors, scent glands, used for perfume is worth the most money.

[@jeffkenyon7084]

You should bring your splitter over and really help a brother out I know You're already helping him alot but why not more love your channel thanks for taking the time to share

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe one day I will!

[@kennyp507]

Thanks for selling me on the hand grinder for chainsaw sharpening, I'll keep the hand files for touch ups while sawing away from the house, but the grinder is now my main go to.

[@timcrosby4651]

I’m going to pick one up, what size grinder bit will I need and do they come with the Dremel tool?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Your chain size will dictate that mine is a 7/32 and is sold separately .... Oregon brand bits.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Cool, it is really easy!

[@philgriswold2133]

Another great family wood splitting video. I'm glad to hear that he has had that Speeco splitter that long. One thing I can tell about you and the brothers is that you will get some work out of your equipment. I bought the same splitter except it is branded Huskee and was sold by Tractor Supply. I got lucky and found two of the side tables that were discontinued since they went to county line. $49 tables for $12 each. I bought two of them.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good for you! My first splitter was a County line.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, for big stuff the ground is nice to work on!

[@outsidewithjohnhayes4674]

Hey Chris I'm glad that you go help your brothers and your dad . I remember when I helped my dad and brother it was a great feeling to help them. I miss them a lot. So enjoy them as long as you can great video

[@InTheWoodyard]

I wish I was well off enough to just help people out for free all the time, that would be awesome!

[@matthewnasci2646]

When I was a kid I split with a sledge hammer and steel wedge. For fun. We didn't heat with wood but had lots of trees and a fireplace. I must have some of the same firewood DNA as you.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup! It is an addiction!

[@joelbutler7501]

Watching you swing that axe to split that one round was impressive. I don't think I have ever seen someone get that much speed, even my brother when he was college was not that fast. Splitting goals for those without a splitter.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I like to split by hand but only for a short time, I can't go for a long time any more!

[@michaelhester3147]

Shore glad that your camera finally focused in! I thought I was loosing my eyesight, and wondering how I was going to watch your channel every morning!

[@InTheWoodyard]

You and me both! Thanks for watching!

[@larrylefebvre2237]

Your brother's splitter is like "Old Glacier", I bet you are glad you have the Eastonmade at home. LOL

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes I am!

[@brucearney9536]

Good morning to all the wood brothers !

[@InTheWoodyard]

Morning!

[@Deutschehordenelite]

Your brothers red splitter KINDA reminds me of the legendary Glacier :D

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup we call it the Glacier 2!

[@peterwyckoff9129]

i got a slow splitter too. but im old so it suits me fine, slow like me. i have a outdoor wood boiler that keeps me busy with wood.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes! For the average person it is all you need!

[@davidedwards3734]

That splitter needs some help. It'll be winter again as slow as it is!! Great video!! Stay Safe. Have a Great Day

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks David, yup it is slooooooow!

[@novascotiagaragegrower3462]

Slay those beavers! See you tomorrow

[@InTheWoodyard]

You will see the beaver trapping soon!

[@WoodysRTBFirewood]

OMG that splitter is painfully slow compared to the Eastonmade, you should have brought her along Chris

[@InTheWoodyard]

Believe me I thought the same thing!

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

I have two of those SpeeCo splitters, matched up with the Honda motor, they are actually very cost efficient. 7 years in and Ive only had to replace a return low pressure hose, plugs, filters and two cheap control valves. No failure/ leaks on the cylinder!

[@InTheWoodyard]

For the average person splitting wood for them self, it is all you really need.

[@ericolv1636]

Found your channel a few weeks ago. Love it! 2 suggestions, charge more for your oak and start putting out 2-3, 30 minute videos a day cuz I’m all caught up! Thanks

[@InTheWoodyard]

Great suggestion! If I had more time I would!

[@coreyriley7160]

G’morning Chris. Makes you want to go back to using the Glacier right ? Haha. Good job on the beavs !! Keep up the good stuff. O, hello Irene

[@InTheWoodyard]

Morning Corey! Thanks for watching!

[@denisesamaroo6456]

Slow splitting bring back memories

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, glacier 2!!!!

[@deanmagnuson2993]

Good morning from Grand Forks

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hello there Dean!

[@tombryan720]

You are always there to help. I can't really tell looking into this old phone but you seem ok, I'm not sure, but that's the way it seems.

[@InTheWoodyard]

All good here, I'll be back at it soon.

[@megamike4357]

When the maul was bouncing off those rounds, you started to swing like you took it personally.....I would have to!

[@InTheWoodyard]

I get mad at wasted effort!!!!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

My glacier log splitter has an 11.5sec cycle time. Until I get into better shape, this "slow" splitter can out work me.

[@InTheWoodyard]

For the average guy it is all you need!

[@dropshot1967]

Almost fell asleep watching you guys split with youtube at double speed LOL. Next time bring the Eastonmade Ultra, your brother won't know how fast his wood is split.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ya, it is the Glacier 2!

[@joelritter5230]

Its great to see family working together helping each other. Are you going to do a video on the trapping?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes we work together a lot! Yes we are!

[@johnphillips770]

Same exact splitter I own,not as fast as yours, but it works, gets the job done

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, for the average guy it is all you need!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

How did you manage to tip up the log splitter?

[@InTheWoodyard]

To much weight on one end!

[@nelsonridgefarm]

Nice splitting! -Brad

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Brad!

[@adamcarter5678]

My splitter likes to tip up on end with heavy rounds like that. Started hanging a suitcase counter weight on the tongue end, stopped that from happening.

[@stannelson2582]

Me too but I drop the tow chains down and put a big round on each chain and it works well too. Have a great day

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good idea!!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Stan... another good idea!

[@TakeNoneForTheTeam]

Thank you!

[@dougmcdonald5518]

Hey Chris ( or anyone else ). Just getting used to the Dremel for sharpening. Is low or high speed best ?? I know to use minimal pressure as you had said in one of the videos

[@InTheWoodyard]

You're welcome!

[@InTheWoodyard]

I use a fast speed!

[@haroldanderson2781]

That glacier was painfully slow even on time lapse!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes! The Glacier 2!

[@arthurr.2075]

Chris, quite amazing how you & your 2 brothers look so much alike! Hey, is your middle name "Woody the woodchuck"? For all the tons of wood you have 'chucked' in the past 50+ years can't wait until you are back in your own wood yard

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks For watching Arthur!

[@stevenstewart7603]

I have one of those splitters. Exact same one but rebranded with the Huskee Brand. I also swapped the B&S engine for a Honda when my pump crapped out. I hated that stupid engine.

[@InTheWoodyard]

For the average guy that is all you need if you are just splitting wood for yourself.

[@sureflamefirewood4174]

Why you not bring the Eastonmade Ultra??

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe in the future, I was there for family get together and did not know I would be splitting!

[@Frankzeien]

Looks like that was going to take off there for a bit steady as she goes, also is that glaser number 2?? Good work guys and hi Eric. Ha i wrote glaser 2 on here before I even got to where you guys said it too lol 🥸

[@jameskent9487]

Glacier, slow moving ice sheet. Glaser is a surname that is derived from the occupation of the glazier, or glass cutter.

[@Frankzeien]

@@jameskent9487 yup still slow lol

[@InTheWoodyard]

YES!!!

[@royhoffman1439]

when are your brothers coming to help you at your woodyard.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Not soon enough!

[@robbobcat7286]

Bought a 22 ton county line splitter yesterday like brand new 500.00 bucks with a wedge no table.Looks like this speedco or not so speedy

[@stannelson2582]

It prolongs the fun. The faster it is the quicker the fun ends. Lol.

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Hey Bob. Thats a great deal in a splitter. Where did you find yours I found my champion splitter on Craigslist for 700 bucks.. If your frugal you can definitely find the deals if you have the time..

[@InTheWoodyard]

That was a good buy! Good enough for most people!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good one!

[@InTheWoodyard]

$700 is a good price Daniel!

[@hankjordan2602]

That’s a Central Boiler what size and how did it get the dent on the top. What does he think of it.

[@InTheWoodyard]

He likes it and it works great for him!

[@cody28h]

Hey that splitter remind me of your old one about the same speed lol

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, the glacier 2!

[@arthurr.2075]

Does Eric use all his wood for his wood boiler?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, but he is going to put up a stand on his property soon.

[@jeremiahhaas567]

All nighters!!👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes!

[@brianfletcher7942]

That splitter should be branded as a Slowco instead of a speeco 😊

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ya, slowco is about right!

[@matthewnasci2646]

52 in the first check? Holy sh...t! No time for firewood with all that fleshing and nailing. Do you guys use mostly 330s or drowners? And what kind of traps do you like? Man I miss the good old trapping days.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I shot some video for the channel, you will see it soon. We ended up with 278 beaver.

[@matthewnasci2646]

@@InTheWoodyard There was a time when 278 beaver pelts would have been a real nice paycheck. Where have all the good times gone?

[@eddiemortontapman7252]

His splitter is painful to watch after your new Easton is super Fast !

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes it is the Glacier 2!

[@kimberly1567]

Many of us southern men aren't afforded many competitive nights around around a group campfire bragging about "I bet my splitter is bigger than yours". I wonder what Eric's heating bills would be Nov-March annually if he used electric or gas heat in comparison

[@InTheWoodyard]

A lot more for sure!

[@georgehakey3581]

If that were my splitter I'd turn the throttle up,maybe it would speed up a little, lol!

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is a s fast as she goes!

[@stannelson2582]

Watch out for your brother he seems like he is the quiet one. And we all know about the quiet ones. Lol

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes he is the opposite of Kenny!

[@tonybunch543]

👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

T man!

[@Alan_Hans__]

Seems like it would have been much more time effective if someone had brought along an Eastonmade with them. 2 brothers working an Eastonmade would have made it the best job ever.

[@InTheWoodyard]

You are correct Alan, but I was there for a family gathering and I live 1 1/2 hours away from my brother so the Glacier 2 was it!

[@danahasson2892]

Your brothers splitter is so slow compared to the ultra that it must be painfu for you l to stand there and wait for it to split.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes it sure is!

[@petedavis8701]

Bizarre!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching Pete!

[@stannelson2582]

When can I buy a glacier t-shirt with a professional photo of it on it? Do you know one of those? Lol

That's what you call painfully slow. I'm 60 - i don't have that kind of time

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ha! Yup It is soooooper sloooooow!

[@cjlures8618]

not everybody can afford a 4,00.00 splitter. my TSC 25 ton cost me 850.00 and working on my 2023 supply

[@InTheWoodyard]

I had 2 box store splitters before the ULTRA, and they did fine until I needed to up the production and wore them out. Save your money from wood sales and then upgrade when you can.

[@cjlures8618]

@@InTheWoodyard I dont sell firewood

[@ronmusser9324]

That’s almost as slow as your old splitter

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe even slooooooower!

[@stever4360]

your “other brother” gets the most outta that awesome glacier, but he needs your brother to bring his torch and tank and turn it into a frankensplitter!

[@edhansen8531]

Take a piece of belting and nail it over two heavy blocks of wood, hang it over the hitch like saddle bags to hold it down , that tittering back and forth is a accident waiting to happen. Have a good day.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ya, maybe now that he is retired he can do that!!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, Ed, someone else suggested that too!

Slow just like mine lol
