. I dont understand why making an ugly pile of splited wood. I do all firewood by myself for my family arround 20m3 of wood every year and i can tell you stacking it does not take much time. When you take splited wood from a log splitter instead throwing it to the pile you throw it onto the stack if you prepare your working place correct it cost you almost no time to do it properly Something like this www.dropbox.com/s/2qzjva0fy90z663/IMG_20171222_145319.jpg?dl=0 www.dropbox.com/s/0zyq8mjg7naay5y/P1120366.JPG?dl=0 www.dropbox.com/s/red4ryy8m2c9uim/IMG_20171230_114942.jpg?dl=0

Hello. You're listening to propaganda from our extreme right wing groups here. It's true that a few very small areas are having trouble, but 99,8% of Sweden is as safe and nice as ever.

Reading comments like this always makes me sad. It's simply not true, countries like sweden, germany and france are perfectly safe to travel to. Terrorism is bad but the ugly truth is that there is no perfect safety. I'm living in Berlin. There has been a terrorist attack in Berlin, there are lots of refugees in Berlin yet I feel perfectly safe going out. Being scared really is the wrong answer to terrorism. Of course it is your decision but if I were you I'd still visit the country.

Thank you for showing this. I had made a request sometime ago and you followed through. Thank you. We/I do the wood splitting a bit different. i do bring the logs to my "firewood yard" in about 10 foot lengths, the cut them into 16" pieces, and split them with a wood splitter. Most folks here cut into 16" pieces, except for those folks who have outdoor wood burning boilers. I do like bigger logs for me, it is more efficient to split and use for me. Pieces are much larger in cross-section which translates to longer burn time for each piece. The past two seasons I have had to buy (dirty word since we live on 19 acres of trees and deer tracks) wood already cut and split. I do like to split wood with an axe, but age and needs have ended that activity pretty much. There is no warmer and more pleasant heat than wood heat. We burn about three full cords (4 feet x 4 feet x 8 feet of wood stacked) during a normal winter. Our winters appear to be much colder here in the U.P of Michigan than yours. Not uncommon to experience -35 F at night and highs of -2 F during the day. Thank you again for this and the other videos you publish. The Old Norwegian

Hello from Idaho this is cool. I employed as a wood splitter. My boss made a homemade splitter with a wrench to lift up to 4 feet round logs. We do sell firewood. Our wood comes from private homes with tree problems overgrowth. This is a interesting operation. It does help to sell your wood to pay for hydraulic oil gas and vehicles expensive. Keep working A loader or tractor will help your operation.

We do much the same here in Ontario, Canada. It seems that you handle each piece of wood several times and that's the time consuming and tiring part of heating with wood. For example, you cut the tree into 12' logs (Step 1); bring the long logs in and cut them in 4' logs (Step 2); then you split the 4' logs into four pieces (Step 3); then you cut the split pieces into short pieces and stack (Step 4). Here we cut the trees into 4' logs in the forest and put them on a wagon (Step 1); at the yard we cut the 4' logs into three 16" logs (Step 2); then we split the 16" logs into finished firewood and stack (Step 3). Not only is there less handling, the handling is easier since the biggest log we ever move is 4'. The guy splitting and the guy picking up and stacking the finished wood works only with 16". We also find it's easier to get accurate lengths - cutting a 4' log into 3 pieces doesn't require measuring. Just another thought. Nice video. Alec

If I didn't know better I would say you guys live in northern Michigan! The tree types and forest landscape looks very familiar.... except your system is way neat and organized, dead giveaway. Here there would be stuff rusting all around the yard. Interesting that you don't worry to stack all the wood. Cheers from the Great Lakes 🍺

We own a mill and the vaste material is simmilar to the one, you have comming from the log splitter. What we do afterwards, and you can do the same after splitting, stack them up paralel, in a jig and oncce the jig is filled up, cut the whole stack with a chainsaw. You would save a lot of time.

Wonderful video Simeon. I'm amazed at the amount of wood it takes to heat your homes. How many days will you work to build up a one-year supply? Loved seeing the kids playing in the hay!

Hey Thomas. It is hard to say how many days it takes. We rarely ever work for a longer time on this but break it up to fit it in when we find the time. We have a very long and cold winter and 7 wood stoves so lots of firewood needed...

3 houses, being heated by Birch wood......and you think this is an amazing amount of wood?!?!? 🤔 (As far as how long it takes, what would the difference really be, between 3-days-worth of work, spread out over multiple days, and 6-days-worth of work, spread out over multiple days??) Heating the homes is pretty important, either way, right? I mean, the work is being shared by at least 3.5 people, so....)

pretty good system of team work you have going there. when you fire up that saw you use to cut to 1 foot please make a video of that if you can i would like to see it in action. thanks for sharing with us.

Great setup guys. Tell your brother with the chainsaw to put on a tail measure like we use here in canada. It will make his job marking the wood to lenght much easier. Like to have that splitter it's a great idea splitting in long lengths. Cheers thanks

I cut wood back in the 60's in Texas. We did not have splitters. We used a maul and pinoak wood usually splits easy but some of the other oaks and black jack can be tough. We used an 8 pound maul and brute strength. We cut larger trees and it made a cord faster but was rough on our bodies. A lot of folks were working for one dollar an hour but we would make 20 dollars a day usually. We thought that was big money. I was lucky enough to be a large man about 6 foot 3 inches and stout as a bull. In later life I learned a lot but I failed to take care of myself. I am not quiet 70 and crippled up with other health problems. I am lucky enough I have a good retirement. I think it is, anyway! My advise is do it the way you want to and dont hurt yourself. After you over do it there is no "do over" for your body. Dont pay any attention to what others think. If they want to do it different let them but you do it your way. I enjoyed your film!

this system works for you and you produce tons.......the only thing that would drive me crazy is the blue pneumatic 4 way splitter ,.....it's too slowwwww. I use a combination of chainsaw, axe, tablesaw, maul or wedge when needed...and have been able to move quickly and safely for decades.. nice video !

I like the double detent valve on the splitter, hard to buy those in the US due to the safety issues with it automatically going forward. Now if you could also double the retraction speed so it cycles faster... : )
