As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I kind of got cornered earlier this year while acquiring things from JYG’s brothers side of Junk Pile Mountain into buying a buzz saw. I have my Grandpas. I have Irvies, I have one I dug out of JYG’s brothers which I plan to mount on a tractor when I have time, so it was not like I did not have one. To get basic looting rights I paid 200 dollars for the thing, and the motor is no good. I put an older relic on it that seems to get hot to the touch when we used it, but the thing does work.
I think this is a 16 inch buzz saw. The other ones a bigger. Irvie had one sitting there which was his dads that looked like an 8 inch saw........I coveted that one, but it did not materialize, only one I have ever seen.
These run on electric motors which is nice. The blade is sharp, but this thing pulls down with this relic on 4 inch limbs. This is more kindling and softer wood.
For a consumer report on it, I like the thing. It does take more energy to run a chainsaw, and they are more dangerous. I did jam this thing 3 times and the belt did not slip but the motor quit turning which is a nice failsafe for wood not behaving, because you are never going to cut wood that is a straight as a pole. I was doing some bad things which should not be tried at home in 90 degree limbs and stuff that would not fit.
I was using an Ebay “parts Poulan 2000” I noticed they have all gone up with the Craftsman after I suggested they were a good saw for their simplicity. This one the person had taken off the one head or whatever which explained why gas was running out. Jimmy had a spare one, well it did not have the idler eccentric, so I have to leave my finger on the throttle to keep it running, but I cut all the limbs to haul home and the bigger stuff for the trailer.
Rick’s other brother, the Troll, had built a 1960’s type Chevy pick up box wagon and as Rick was junking the entire yard, we got it for 100 bucks. It has a 2 5/16th inch ball which explained why the 2 inch ball kept pulling off or the hitch did. The point in this is, we trimmed up a widow maker cottonwood on Dan’s, which proves a Pizza Hut gift card buys more than hauling cattle, hauled it home on a flatbed, and while this is a short 8 foot box, we filled it to a nice round stack.
All in all, TL and I think cut for an hour, stacked for an hour. I think at home we buzz saw and chainsawed 2 hours, and then another hour to stack the wood, and providing it is a nice winter, we should have enough wood as supplemental heating.
I do not like the big logs as they are heavy, can be hard to split, and is another step in processing. I like for the barrel stove these 2 to 4 inch sticks, cut to about 15 inches. They burn well, I get fast heat, and it takes a great deal of the work out of burning wood. Given the choice between a load of sticks or an acre of cut logs, I would pick the sticks every time as I use more of them.
Anway the junk chainsaw God helped me get running and I am pleased as it works. The buzz saw is a good way to process the wood and helps a great deal, and the pick up box trailer is a good way to store wood. I have had really good results with pick up toppers, but you can get almost too much wood in them in the one I have got top heavy and you do not want that pulling down the road.
I have a damaged topper for this Troll one as the salvage people raise hell with everything, but it is doing other service until I get it beat the hell back to something that will sit level. For now it is a cheap tarp.
The flat belt buzz saws, if you do not have them level, they will pull off the pulley under load. All is not as tard easy as it looks with these things. This motor one has a V belt which does not pull off as it is held in place. Everything is dangerous from fatigue or being a Darwin. I know that my Grandpa must have thought he went to Heaven with his as compared to a buck saw or trying to break things on your knee, this is having the world by the tail.
I put this stuff here as if things get tough which they will someday, the people who have the old stuff are the ones who are going to have things easy while the rest of the people will work themselves to death or cut off a toe while chopping wood.
If I was set up for it, I would have a corn sheller, a big ass burning compartment and burn corn cobs which people did as it was easier than chopping wood. Cobs burn fast and produce allot of ash. As it is I don’t have the farmland, the shed for the cobs or the set up, so have been for 5 years building toward this situation in God having things show up, and giving me thee experience to work into this as none of this is tard and requires some experience in how to deal with things from wood of different quality to having shit HAARP weather this year in it rained every 5 days all fall. Was November 15th before we finished up and that is not the time of year in the Brier to still not have you wood done. Last year it was about the same, because it was too hot and dry to cut wood all fall. It is a pisser, as I remember a Brier where it was hot as balls July and August, got cold in September. Rained around October 3rd, then was dry and war again until Squaw Winter appeared the first of November, then it got nice to about mid November and if that held, you had a great Thanksgiving and winter was shit, but things started getting what a White man would think is ok around February as the snow was gone by March.
That damned HAARP chem snow 2 years ago had the snow not melting until the end of April. Allot of things died that winter and even with the Trump shut down of the government, they sprayed like they had all the money in the world and we got a cold ass HAARP chill again today.
Is the point in I need real heat, as without donations I can’t afford a space heater, so you go light up the barrel stove and leave the door open and have 150 degree heat blast on you to get your temperature up.
Is allot of work this wood burning and you start clearing out your trees and have to look for new vistas to get the kind of wood you want from.
That is the buzz saw tales.
