How to build a firewood bundler

After a ton of research and checking out a bunch of different models, I decided to try my hand at building a firewood bundler. I spent a few hours and about $60 in material and came up with this! I'm really happy with the way it turned out and wanted to show the things I had a hard time figuring out. Hopefully someone finds this useful.

Awesome job fabricating the bundler Mike! I like all of the different materials you were able to source for the project!

[@Mikes600r]

Thanks Jake! I have big plans for it in the future! I'm super happy with the way it turned out, it seemed like everytime I needed something, I was able to find something that worked perfectly sitting on my shelf! Love it when a plan comes together!

That’s awesome 👏 I hope that you have some blueprints to build one because I could use one and a set of plans.

Great job! I’m wondering if you could do a video including dimensions. Basic measurements. I’m betting if you did a basic drawing and included part numbers for bearings and such you could easily charge $20 and send the plans out digitally. You have done the work. If you don’t do it somebody else will. You deserve the $ for your efforts.

I hadn't thought about 🏍️ motorcycle chain. Could use the O-ring type and it would last a really long time sitting outside without having to be concerned about rust. I'd like to just have one of these for the convenience at times. Like if the misses was needing to bring wood in , she could grab a bundle much easier than getting it one at a time.

Good job! About to start one of those builds myself.

Nicely done!! I will make one like yours! 👍👍💯

Awesome machine, at a fraction of the price of new...

[@guerraarmy]

Great video. Is it possible to get blueprints

[@SilverbackFirewood]

You should publish some plans! I’d pay for that!

hi there you did a real good job john

[@thelogfather5002]

He sure did! It’s a handy tool, from a handy guy.

[@MsJhook]

Very nice

Wow, freakin awesome job man! Kinda disappointed didn’t get to see it run yet but I understand. Q: instead of plastic wrap, any chance you could have an option for natural sisal twine? It would be great to just throw a bundle on an outdoor fire without worry about contaminants.

[@MichaelMorneault]

can you please share the schematics for this build i would definitly like to build one

[@kdakc]

I'm interested, too. I can afford the $800 to buy it, but the shipping (to Portland, OR) is $450! That's a deal breaker. I'd even give you $25 for your trouble.

Nice

[@tomriblett2979]

How much to make me one??

[@robertheintz8017]

What did you use for the counterweight?

[@Mikes600r]

Just a heavy block of steel I had around the house.... its about the size of a brick.

Cool, you want to sale it?
