Nice seeing you been long time,

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching digger. Glad to hear from you as well!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Told ya you’d LOVE it!! I’ll get those measurements for you shortly!

[@oldguyfirewood]

You were right Jake! The short video you and Chris sent me was perfect! It answered all my questions.

[@joeshaffer2506]

You got it going on there the eastonmade with conver box wedge and the wolf ridge and other splitters I’ve seen in other videos hat off 👍 I’m probably the same age but still using my county line 30tn splitter to do mine unfortunately really need to update my life and back so much better 👍

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching Joe. As I get older I need all the help I can get!

[@Growing-Our-Retirement]

The Pizza Box wedge is perfect! For what I sell, this is what my customers prefer. All that slash is actually good to have as kindling, interested to see what you come up with to separate it. 👍👍👍

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks so much for watching. I imagine the nursery business really slows down in the winter… time to head to the islands for a vacation! The grizzly bar build will probably have to wait until after Christmas. It’s a very busy time of year.

[@Growing-Our-Retirement]

Hi Dick, Yes we are done planting for the Fall. We do keep busy propagating, knocking out chores, and producing some firewood. Still working full time too. Hoping to up my firewood game in retirement. Doing only 8-10 cords a year now. 1/2 of that is for home heating.

[@mountaintopoutdoors]

The pizza wedge is great. Cuts out apt of time doing bundle wood for sure. Keep up the great work Dick.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks Jeff and Patti. It will definitely be my “go to” wedge.

[@ericgebhart5775]

Great video Dick. That makes perfect size bundle wood. Take care.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks Eric!

[@sawingwithsandy]

Great looking firewood pile you've got there! Hope you're keeping well and that we get to chat again next year at the Paul Bunyan Show!

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hi Sandy. I hope you and the family are doing well. I was truly humbled when you recognized me at Boonville and came up to speak, and I really enjoyed seeing and talking to you again at Paul Bunyan. I’m definitely planning on Bunyan in 2024… hope to see you!

[@TCsOutdoors1]

Nicely done Dick! If I ever end up with a box wedge I would definitely want the pizza wedge.

[@oldguyfirewood]

It’s perfect for my market Tony. If you’re primary market is heating wood the 5 way box or standard 7 way box would be the way to go. Dan at Back 40 has some good videos on that application.

[@gushoo6076]

Watched before signing in. Thank you for the comparison. Not that I'll ever be using the pizza wedge due to only having a 12-22 with a 6 way, tall 4 and a 7 way that they say is max on this unit. I've wondered how it would look, one versus the other. Anyone interested in making smaller wood might like the new Wolfe ridge vertical splitters as well if they do not want all of the "trash". I think Wolfe ridge makes the best commercial vertical that you can buy right now. I think Eastonmade makes maybe the best "bang for the buck" horizontal in the 12-22 class. I also encourage folks to look at some videos from "All-wood" splitters. Their bigger splitters are extremely impressive and are made right here in the states like Wolfe ridge, Timberwolf and Brute force. Anyway, thanks again for the video and sorry to get rambling on about things. I likes me the firewood equipment!

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching. KZbin channel “Outside with Sheib” runs the 7 way pizza wedge on his 12-22… check him out. I also like looking at all the firewood equipment out there!

[@Andrew_From_NB]

Hey there Dick! Great work that day! Nicely done! Great to see the 22-28 is working well for you! Agree with you on the extra slash in the IBC totes. DudeRanchDIY does have a nice step up for the additional grizzly bars he added 🔥💯👍. So a similar set like you mentioned will be a great addition for you! Really enjoyed stopping by an spending some time in the woodyard with you! Look forward to the next vid! Take good care Dick! Cheers! Andrew from NB :)

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks Andrew. As usual, I really appreciate your comments and support!

[@mrscuba1693]

who is going to do all this firewood when us old guys are gone I am 65 years old and did 160 dump trailer loads at 4 face cords per trailer you work your butt off but it keeps us a live and in shape some what lol

[@oldguyfirewood]

Exactly! That’s why I always stress to “keep moving”!!!

[@765Guys]

Looks like it makes nice size wood! Looking forward to see what you do with the grizzly bar setup. Have a great safe week!

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks Genin. The grizzly bars will probably have to wait until after Christmas… busy time of year!!

[@backyardfirewood9852]

All this talk about pizza! 😂 good job OGF!

[@oldguyfirewood]

Ha! Several folks have mentioned that!

[@mrscuba1693]

Ask your customers if they like the smaller scrap wood/ kindlin I do all bulk firewood from my processor into my dump trailer and my customers love the kindling they get in a load and they like its free lol its just part of the process

[@oldguyfirewood]

Good point. I’m more concerned with the really fine slash it produces. I hope the grizzly bars will eliminate most of that.

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Morning Mr Dick , that is one impressive wood splitting machine . Can’t wait to see the grizzly bar addition !!! 👍🏻🇺🇸🪵🔥

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks Del. With your fabrication skills I bet the grizzly bar build would be an easy one for you!

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Thank you for the kind words .

[@hayesrutherford9415]

You helped convince me to order a 22-28.

[@oldguyfirewood]

You definitely won’t regret it. The power and efficiency of this machine is incredible.

[@petergundel2956]

Hi Dick, you could also contact Scheib at outside with Scheib, he also made a grizlybar on his conveyor.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hi Peter. I’ve watched Scheib’s video of the grizzly bars. I’ll definitely talk to him before I. Finish my design.

[@shotlifffamilyfirewood]

pizza wedge makes awfully nice firewood!

[@oldguyfirewood]

I’m very pleased with it!

[@AATreeService]

I see you have the “updated” conveyer! Way way nicer than the single chain systems

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching. The conveyor really works great. It’s built very stout.

[@1squirreldog]

I agree with the slash being a little too much . We just built a set of grizz bars & I hope they do the trick. It seems that pizza box wedge puts out nice size wood. I would like to see a comparison of the largest & smallest piece each wedge can produce. Keep up the good work

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching. If I put the standard 7 way back in I’ll show that comparison.

[@bobfitch607]

Dick that sure is a good set up with the pizza box wedge. Jake’s grizzly set up works good for him. Sure you will make a good set up too. Look forward to seeing your fabrication 🔧🪛🪵🍕

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks Bob. Jake’s design works great. My main difference will be leaving the wheels on the conveyor and making a quick disconnect for the grizzly bars. We’ll see if it works.

[@disenfranchisedcitizen1432]

This is EXACTLY the comparison video that I needed to reassure me that I made the right decision to get the pizza box wedge with my 22-28. Should be in by February-March. Thanks.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Fantastic! You will love this machine.

[@tomblack4796]

Those are the perfect size splits and the size I go for myself. Its takes more work to get it that way but its worth it. Eastonmade hit another home run with that wedge design. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it. PS, I like your shirts gonna order my wife and I one for Christmas 😄

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hi Tom. Thanks for commenting and thanks for your support!

[@danbentsen]

Think you are right about getting a grizzly bar setup for your conveyor to remove slash scraps from your customers firewood. Good watch video. Have a good one

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks so much Dan. I’m hoping to have some time after Christmas to get the grizzly bars set up. I think it will be a good addition.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching Dan. The grizzly bar setup is a necessary addition for sure.

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Hey Dick. I enjoyed the video. The 22 28 works some nice. I believe the grizzly bars will help with the slash.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks Kenny. The grizzly bars will be a good addition.

[@Woodman_Custom_Sawing]

Perfect! Thanks for making this video. Those are the size splits I'm currently making with my single wedge splitter. It's tedious to say the least but I find it easier to handle and the wood dries quicker when that size. Thanks for sharing this and don't forget, I'd like to know if your splitter is a stationary unit and the options you chose. It looks like it powers the elevator also. Tell us more. Thanks again.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hi Marshy! The Eastonmade 22-28 with attached conveyor is on wheels and can be moved. In my case I set it up in my woodyard and probably won’t move it around… it’s easier to bring the wood to the splitter. My 22-28 has the attached conveyor, tall 4 way wedge, standard 7 way box wedge, and 7 way “pizza” box wedge.

[@bossgobbler2]

you can reduce the slash by sharping all the cutting edges on the wedge.

[@oldguyfirewood]

That is definitely something I plan on doing. Thanks for watching!

[@kenskuts]

I’m really surprised that team orange 🍊 and blue hasn’t developed Grizzly Bars for that beast 🐻 yet!

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching Ken. I wouldn’t be surprised if they came out with something at some point. At this time it’s a fun DIY project!

[@bobrumpf2576]

Hello Dick, guess i missed some of your recent video's......what the heck happened in your woodyard.....it's all orange and blue now instead of red barron....looks like a great setup.....do you let Jose run it? happy new years

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hello Bob… good to hear from you. The Eastonmade 22-28 has really helped me increase production. I still use my Wolfe Ridge for the big gnarly pieces that don’t do well with the Eastonmade box wedge. Jose’ likes running the new splitter. Check out my “one month review of the 22-28” video. He runs it in that video. Happy New Year!

[@tommyrichmond1293]

Great to be watching you do what we love to do and watch. I need a favor please sir will you send me a copy of items needed to make the air gun please sir thanks.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks Tommy. All the information you need is listed in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmqpppeLrJKGgqssi=s8JpntZDrRXHGuyJ. Enjoy!

[@edrurup8955]

Doesn’t Andrew make a bolt on grizzly bar setup for it?

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hi Ed. The Eastonmade stand alone conveyors all have grizzly bars, but there isn’t a setup available for the attached conveyors.

[@smorefirewood]

More pizza 🍕.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Ha! You seem to stay hungry Dana!!

[@firewoodathome]

👍👍

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching!

[@jiffy399]

That wood looks to be really wet,lots of spinters

[@oldguyfirewood]

It’s definitely green wood. I’m going to sharpen my wedge blades. That should help eliminate some of the shredding.

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Hello Dick, Good Show🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

[@oldguyfirewood]

Hi Larry. Thank you!

[@LeBlancfirewood]

I think the axis is the one for me don't like all those scraps

[@oldguyfirewood]

Thanks for watching. The AxIs is the perfect machine for precision splits and very little waste. I like the box wedge and pull back arm because it eliminates so much physical work… the scrap is an unfortunate side product.
