Zip Tie Firewood Measure for Chainsaw

SD51555

5 year old buck +
I found a channel on the tube I really enjoy. Dude makes a firewood video every day. I caught one where he had zip ties on the vertical part of his saw handle for measuring piece length. I put some on mine and tried it, and it works really damn well. Before that, I had a hell of a time getting short pieces and long pieces and then the stacks getting goofy because of it. It's a real simple hack, but damn effective.

 
Crap that is a good idea.

Yeah, I cut this pile using that rig, and it looked so much better than when I free handed it. I also quit splitting the difference on that last piece. Instead of making two 12” pieces out of a 24”, I cut my normal last piece and throw the short in another pile.

I just enjoy reading and looking for stuff. And I have a never ending need for straight lines. If I’m gonna do it, it might as well look good. My experiment in stacking wood this year may get redone because of it.

I kind of like straight lines too, but I find it easiest to only care about one side.

No offense.....but a twenty minute video on how long to cut a log?.....lol. I did watch part of it.....and this IS a good idea. But may be to anal for me. I don't make wood much anymore....and I have a pretty keen eye for the length.....and whatever I make is going on a campfire....and not in a stove....so it does not matter too much. I'd rather spend my time on welding devices or grid power stuff....but that is just me. Huge Grin. Carry on....this is a good idea for someone that has an obsession with neat stacks of wood. lol. We all got obsessions.
 
The guy sells firewood for a living. It's an obsession, but it's also his business.

Sometimes he does an hour plus fireside chat about firewood. It’s honest and wholesome content.
