not sticking your hand in a underwater hole for fish cutting with the grain of the wood bar tip up or down about 1 to 1-1/2 inches slowly rocking back and forth so that you keep pulling the long noodles go till nearly at the ground and hit it with a maul or roll it over and finish the cut no extra tools or fatigue and lets you get it loaded in the truck without busting your gut. many videos out there on it that are wrong where they go cross grain or have a steep bar angle and are pulling chip not curls when you hit a knot or a cross grain at a Y you will get chip but most of it should be curls aka noodles

I had one tree so big I had to make 1/4s to move them at all and I split those into 1/3s with the splitter to be able to make them reasonable to work with hauling them out.
it goes fairly fast a little faster than the cross cut , just don't let the sprocket cover get plugged so sometimes you have to stop for a second kick the pile out and go again

I still split by hand so any goonies get broke down this way.
Years ago (2003) before I had better equipment I ripped slabs out of walnut blocks this way. I recently used some of them to build a knife block for the kitchen. I sent a piece of one of them them to Gulo to be used as scales on the knives he built me.
Eh...wot?

Slang. stupid, foolish, or awkward: a gooney smile on his face. Informal. thuggish; brutal. brutally stupid and awkward sums up those rounds well.

that would defeat the purpose of keeping it simple
Ripping is typical from one end of a log to the other , this is more like planing a narrow slot down the side, but all the way through taking big long curls like a plane does
not needing any other gear with so that when you load up to go home all you need is to find a place to settle the 2 saws and gas and oil can into for the ride home

Harvesting fuel for the winter, i look the best, easiest wood So do I. I'll take 5-7 inch rounds all day long if I can get them. No splitting except for some kindling. The older I get, the more goonies get left lay in the woods. But when my landscape sub-contractor drops a load of wood off I don't have much say and I ain't looking a gift horse in the mouth.

for easy I like the ones I can back right up and load the best this was Sunday , I got the second load last night wife came with , she was knitting in the cab I would hollar and point signals and she would start up and back up a few more feet filled the truck and hardly moved a round farther than 4-5 feet I am about to where I was standing when I took this pic. I have another top about 30 feet farther in a dead tree next to where I am standing , just keep backing right into the load and driving out it is a curvy path but doable to not have to cut anything good out of the way. standing dead , root rot and wind storms keep leaving me enough to cut for heat every year.

I guess I'm stupid, as I couldn't make sense out of that word salad; and I don't need a ring (whatever that means).

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww,,,, to be young and strong like bull again I found a few of my chain sawmuscles here this week it kept raining every time I was going to go out and cut and I like to get it all in the shed by the time it gets too hot to work. somewhere around 75* 30 , dry with sun , little to no wind and frozen ground very little snow is the perfect time to cut , we didn't get much of that this year.

that is a 24 inch bar I also have a 28 for that saw it isn't too big to cut it is too big for me to lift onto the tailgate to haul home in once peice at home I back up to the splitter and work right off the tailgate this limits the lifting

I've noodled some big chunks. Like 30" diameter Burr Oak cut into 20" Cobbs. The noodles make superb fire starters when dry.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

I could save noodles for fire starter , but it mostly gets left in the woods.
the post office drops off most all the fire starter I need 6 days a week and I have to do something with all that junk so much of it is stuff that would need to be shredded if I didn't burn it
beyond that I get cardboard boxes at the grocery store to carry my groceries home in fewer trips in than bags and already something that was a waste product of shipping , I cut those up into strips and burn them also
old clothing also makes good fire starter , socks with holes in them and stuff that has too many holes to keep wearing out
the bits of wood from splitting that pile up around the splitter pick up some of that and put it in 5 gallon pails and let it dry out mostly covers kindling

Nice old school saw. We used to call those shavings tow. Then came the web and we were wrong again. My sword is still bigger though.
Wore out chains, sharpened to twenty degrees work well for this.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww,,,, to be young and strong like bull again No kidding!! Those knarly knotted up crotches are great burning when you get them busted up. I now leave them for easier splitting wood. Now they form the base for habitat brush piles. I can split a wheel barrow full of easy wood in the time it takes to chunk one of those up.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Looked up images of chainsaw tow and toe. Not pretty lol. Was ripping the other day. Not everyone has option of leavings. Husky offers a reasonable priced kit of wrap handle, bigger spikes and wider clutch cover. To me the cover was worth the cost. When I sell this one the original parts will be mint.

You need a really sharp chain to cut with the grain like that. no sharper than you need to pull decent chip on a cross cut I cut that entire tree up so far without touching up that chain and it still pulls nice curls and chip my tools to sharpen are absolutely nothing special , just a round file and when I am not pulling nice chips if a bit too small of chip , then a flat file to lower the rakers.
