Stormin 4,458 #1 Posted August 15, 2019 Been getting the log stocks up this afternoon. There was quite a pile requiring splitting. Number 3 grandson was going to split them during the school holidays. But he went and got himself a summer job at a local holiday camp. So all left to me, so I thought I'd better make a start. Finished cutting and stacking this lot of smaller stuff. Then I started on this lot. Half done when I took this photo. Several barrow loads later, lost count of how many. This 3ft wide x 8ft long x 4ft high cage ended up 3/4 full. It's really hard work splitting logs with a splitting mall. So.……. I got this log buster. 3 pmackellow, Alan and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #2 Posted August 19, 2019 Had another day with chainsaw, saw bench and log splitter. Still got about 1-1/2 ton of 2-3ft dia 5yr old Leylandie to cut and split. But that will have to wait for a while. All log storage space is now full. But I do now have room for the felled trees in the field opposite. As soon as they've harvested, I'll be in there. Must admit the log splitter was a good buy. Saves a lot of back ache and time. Should have bought one years ago. 1 Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aiberdonian 98 #3 Posted September 13, 2019 Been doing the same these last two days and totally agree about the log splitter, I've had one for ten years and it has saved a lot of backache and time over the years. Have also been doing my bit to save the planet by using an old oil tank as a wood store Might not need so much this year as the project of the last three years, my 1937 Triumph Gloria Vitesse Tourer is now back on the road. 1 Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #4 Posted September 13, 2019 That Triumph is superb. Just as well I got that wood above logged and stored, when I did. Mate of mine has bought a property north of Dumfries and called last Sunday. Left about 1-1/2 ton of logs behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aiberdonian 98 #5 Posted September 14, 2019 Maybe I'll do a topic in the restoration section about all the blood sweat and tears expended over the last three years on the Triumph but I don't have nearly as many photos of before, during and after that most folk seem to put up. I've still some back up logs to split yet. We had a lot of wind blown trees a few years ago and ran out of space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
