My wood shed is falling over, simple mans repair. Wood stacking tips

I noticed my wood shed leaning , and caught it just in time . Here’s how I fixed my wood shed . And stacked wood

[@waynegriswold8953]

i think the reason why a lot of people chime in to give you advice is because the person that is writing something in the comments , is trying to help you, and show you from there perspective how they do it. i dont think it malicious. that is at least the reason why i leave constructive criticism. peace be with you my friend, and warmer weather

Buckin...long time subscriber here. My wife just came in the bedroom and overheard you say “you like to be intimate with your firewood”. She said WHAT THE HECK YOU WATCHIN! LOL. Keep being you.

[@marksnelling2137]

[@adamgalowitz1129]

Even though you’re using pressure treated, I’d recommend putting a paver under to keep the end grain out of the dirt. Love what you’re doing, Buckin’!

[@nuttynate797]

I think he set it on a cement block as well

[@Shane_Reynolds85]

Yes, he set the end into a block and then on top of another block.

[@peterwill3699]

I think the block around the bottom of the pole will rot out faster that way.

Aw, Billy, Sweetie, and I found you through Scott, Essential Craftsman. Our first pickup as newlyweds was a 1970 Ford 250. We thought we were in hog heaven. We burned only wood for heat for 20 years, 11 cords a year. We laughed with great memories when you showed your PU bed has broken from the load. Sweetie said, been there! What great memories of our youth. Real memories of real life. Nothing better than real, Billy. Sweetie loves his saws, too, but cuts less now. Bless your journey and keep having fun. Thank you for the reminder to be kind.

[@burtlunn5911]

No kidding this is my fav BBR video all-time. Love the truck, love the repair job, love the attitude. Some choice quotes - "It is a woodshed for crying out loud!". Meaning - don't bring out the level. Don't get to serious. Also - "I handle my firewood a lot and I don't care." Meaning - that's how I do it. I'm not here to be 'efficient'. This is my personal life. Also - not a direct quote but, "KZbin is a lot of, or mostly is, people insisting on doing things one way. HAS IT DAWNED ON ANYONE TO JUST ENJOY THEMSELVES?" Right on, Brother!!

[@leonschufletowski8874]

Good morning buckin. Awesome job on fixing the wood shed. Sylvia looks like she handled the load quite well.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Thx ,, ya not bad

[@tome.joyner887]

Billy Ray you are a magnificent stacker! I sure enjoyed your splitting and loading Sylvia too. I have to agree with you on handling your own firewood. It is kind of a sense of pride taking care of your winter wood pile and your wood shed ....love it my friend!

[@TinManKustoms]

Man I love this channel. Brings back a lot of good times preparing firewood for the winter season. I can remember going for walks into the bush with chainsaw in hand and a axe strapped to my back and whenever we'd find a tree that was down or a spot that needed some thinning we'd cut up the tree split it right there and stack it up to start drying put a cow ear tag with date it was cut. Later on when we needed to fill the wood sheds we'd go gather up the random wood piles. Great times. I was taught to always keep a bush so it could grow and survive and provide for no only humans but the animals too.

[@ryangamble3351]

Buckin, you've got the right idea with setting the post on top of a block....but the one you've set the post into is only going to hold moisture around the post and help the rotting process...just trying to give insight, as here in Michigan...we quit cementing in the post on pole barns because of this particular issue. Hope this helps you out, have a blessed day!

[@waynetharp]

He did mention not needing advice!

[@Sellarmusic]

30+ years ago my grandfather and I harvested a bunch of hemlock poles (from trees damaged in an ice storm) for me to build a woodshed (that looks a whole lot like yours). He had me put the corner post ends in a bucket of tar for about a week before I built it. I'm still using that shed today.

[@kevinbreckenridge6729]

"You're going to touch your firewood a few times "! I can definitely verify that, no matter how organized you get!

[@bc6144]

Buckin - I watched you and Sylvia till I couldn't take it anymore. On Saturday, I bought an F-150 4x4, about the same color as yours, to live out my own Buckin/logging fantasies. The only difference, I drive a Mustang when not in my truck as I don't have a Merc (love that truck too). Love your channel. I'm a regular. Peace to you and all! Agree, kindness is needed in this world anymore!

Another awesome video Bucking! I cant wait to go home and dig around in the woodpile! The struggle I have with handling wood is the so many different grades of wood here in Pennsylvania. From super hot black locust for the deep winter to the early spring/fall silver maple. Constantly overthinking the wood pile to avoid handling the wood more than 3 or 4 times. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

I handle it as many times as I have to to spread heat to my home efficiently. The last time I checked hard work and what other people think of how I go about it has taken much space up in my mind… romance your wood pile brother it will pay you back in many ways

Buckins’ amazing welded Jack! Seats axes 🪓, lifts woodsheds, gets your truck out the ditch and probably hundreds more uses 😀. I built a woodshed and used angle iron brackets (2 holes drilled in top and bottom) to secure the 4x4 beams. Unconventional, but strong as an ox ... 8 ft x 8ft by 104in back and 96in in front (taper for metal roof so rain will wash away) - holds right around 10face cord 😎 ... It’s about 35degrees here in wny , time to test out these 044s I’ve been building and split some wood. Cabin fever 🥵 begone !!!

Only just subscribed, I thought I was, been watching for quite a while. Was good to see how confident your son has become in his work. I have a light 2 1/2 pound Elwell axe to split my wood here in the UK. I have a bad back also and a light axe on a 36 inch handle gives you speed to split very large knotty rounds. Enjoyed watching you all at work/life many thanks. I have a Spearwell axe to rehandle as its been fitted crooked and only on a 28 inch handle. I will use what I have seen you do again.

Buckin thank you for the video. Look forward to watching your videos.

[@terryspain3390]

Thank you for sharing Buckin! 👍 I have people tell me how to get firewood all the time or how it "could be" more efficient... I still do it my own way as I always have because for me it's about the exercise I get from it and time spent observing nature. If I was to just load everything with a skidsteer or have the baddest log splitter I surely would not get out of it what I enjoy about it. Despite handling the firewood multiple times, that is what I love. I think the woodshed is more than fine and you did a nice job on it, after all... It's still better than a tarp. The old school method always draws my attention, so keep doing what you do!👏

[@markbarber7839]

Good one Buckin. I process my firewood in the woods and bring it down with an atv. I leave it stacked in the element after a year I bring it to my wood shed to keep the snow off for winter burning. My wood is mainly ash, iron wood and black cherry approx 12% moisture when seasoned

[@thesmallwoodlot433]

Buckin’ when you fix the back of the truck, use angle iron across the bed, and up the verticals, then use round stock for gussets, but don’t fully weld the base of gusset, leave a few weep holes. If you can, a close “grab bar gusset” also works well, and gives you a handle for climbing in!

Hey Buckin glad to see your into the repair mode,been there on my 26 year old hand made shed,was going to mention if you burn the ends that go in the ground they will last much longer. If I were you and the great job you did on the posts with the knoches I would replace them with the same. Plus leave the support uprights alongside,super tough ,way strong looks like a logger thing. Power saws have always been my skill saw. But concerning your measuring on p/u truck cord of wood thing,easy peasy,leave the .5 off ,4x8 equal 32 times 4 equals 128 ft in a cord. I know you know this. So your 4 x 4 x8 equals the bed of my truck = 1 cord plus extras
