Have you ever seen a stihl 12 volt chain saw sharpener???? you should be able to sharpen a chain 20+ times..
I just take them to Sam. I have an account with him
Maybe Sam needs the employee of the month sign and perks😜😂😂😂
You’re a good sport Sam! All the best with your business.
Thanks for watching Roger!
Beautiful store Sam hope firewood does good for u and joe.
Thanks Jerry. sam is super cool!
Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I know I'm repeating myself but I hope you guys and gals over there in the US of A realise how spoiled for choice you are with a store like Sam's on your doorstep. If I entered his shop I'd think I had arrived in heaven.
Glad to see Sam try helping you out selling your firewood!! Both can have a beneficial partnership with each other!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks Dave. Cortland Mower is a great shop and I'm honored to have my firewood for sale there
Wood just brings so many good people together 👍
There is something special about firewood for sure
My ole lady came to me because of it
Tossing the chain and battery.. 🤣🤣
I know where that was coming from. Thank you for the laugh this morning..😁👍
LOL... Back 40 is the gift that keeps giving!
You are the man Sam, Best wishes for the future
You had me there for a second when you pitched the chainsaw blade but the battery was too much to believe, lol. He certainly does have a nice store, hopefully he is doing well.
Sam's store is a local institution. Very good reputation
The bundles look fantastic Joe! Nice and clean and professionally labeled. Keep us posted on how they sell at Cortland Mower!
What a shock at first of you bluffing to toss rechargeable batteries and dull chainsaw blades, which was a natural introduction of Sam and his business. Your personality is a magnet for similar people. I can’t get enough of your content. Take care
LOL Thanks Mike! Glad to have you on board
So much fun yesterday Joe. The wheels are turning and soon some cherry burl. What a busy day for you.
haha. Thanks Rob. I can't wait to see if the burl is good for work buddy
You need to have them chains sharpend,dont throw them away ,they got alot of life on them
Joe, I really like when you go on field trips & take us along. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Cort. I will try to do more of them buddy
Wow. I am 14 and just built a very nice wood sale stand and my dream is to one day have a Japa like you.
That's great to hear buddy. I hope you get it figured out while you are young instead of like me that waited until my 50's!!! lol. Keep me updated on your progress
@@ohiowoodburner oh. I will.
Hey Joe and Sam. Great to see you guys enjoying each others company. And you really talked those bundles off that truck Joe😅
Thanks again for making me smile and laugh.
Kenny
Ps..Id love to have your channel sticker for my sticker board one day😊

Thanks Kenny!
Hope to see some of Rob’s craftsmanship on that cherry burl. Elaine from Canada here, as funny as this video was, I continued to chuckle at the comments! Oh my! Very nice store Sam, looks clean and professional. Glad you’re helping out poor Joe with his faulty chain and battery! Heh heh. 😜 And as always, Joe, a very entertaining video, thanks for taking us into town with you.
Sure thing Elaine!
Too funny ! great job !
Thanks Brett!
Cool Beans! Hi Sam!! Well Dun!
Thanks Geezter!!
You got me😂😂
Have you thought about selling at the Bazetta Mall across from the state park campground? New owners have cleaned the store up and it's really nice now.
Prob not Mike. I try to stay away from camp grounds. The wood sells too cheap at them.
Amazing how many people comment before watching the whole video.
As always Joe an entertaining vid. thanks
LOL I didn't think people would really think I was throwing these things away
Well, then you didn’t factor into your equation the society we live in, no didja Joe?
Joe! The tension….the drama! Will Joe actually throw out chains and batteries?!? I can rest easier, now that I watched your entire vid! 😅👍
haha! Looks like a lot of people today were quick on the draw RG!
Excellent Video as always Joe. Beautiful Bundled Firewood. I am just waiting for my Guy to come by and Drop off my Logs. Great Friend there also in Ohio. If I get your way 1 of these Days I will Sharpen your Chains for you. Keep up your Great Video's Sir and look forward to your next Video my Friend. Ron from Duanesburg. PS. TRYING TO WORK ON WHAT I COULD CALL MY LITTLE SHOP AS I DO A LITTLE WORK ON SAWS ALSO JOE.
Sounds like you have some work ahead of you with those logs. Stay out of the heat!
I use a Drumil shapener and it works quick and gives me sharp teeth.
I have a grinder but also take them to Sam
Must be in the Name Joe! JPF watch’s the Mike work also😂 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
haha! Hey, someone had to hold the camera!
Joe Joe Joe Joe lol 😎
LOL Thanks Frank!
I may have missed it, but have you done a full review on the DeWalt saw? I have the older 60V version and am interested in how well the new one works.
I haven't done a full review. I will get one put together for you buddy
@@ohiowoodburner Now that is service!!!
i used to run chisel chains on everything cuse their a bit faster. i tried some semi chisel chains and they stay sharp much longer than the regular chisel chains.
As you would say, "You don't nees the best equipment. You just have to make the best of what you have." Thinking of how you have ran and built your business gave me a series of ideas for videos on doing. Things on the cheap.
I don't think I'm exactly cheap. More efficient and practical than cheap.
@@ohiowoodburner that's what I meant. Perhaps frugal is a more appropriate term for what I was saying
Thanks for the video Joe. My question is having the customer unload the delivered firewood is that what you categorize as "value added firewood" 😃 Y'all have a great 👍 day
LOL I like that! That can be my new business practice
I'm working on employee of the month !!
@@theunclesam6500 You should get it easily due to you look to be the only one working!! LOL!
You need to get a power washer and spray your logs before running them on the Jappa. It may cost you some time, but it maybe cheaper than buying a new chain each week. Only wash the dirty logs. Just a thought.
I don't have a water supply Mark. I was joking about throwing away the chains lol
You must have the mouse in your pocket that day. Lol
haha!! I save that for Log Hauler Jesse!
Hi love your videos can you please tell me how much you charge for your bundles ?
I saw an add for 1 cubic foot of kiln dried firewood in a local gas bar hardware store for $7 regular $10,that would make a cord 1280.00 bucks.I have my dads old File n Set chainsaw sharpener from when he had his sawmill in late 50s early 60s,works like a charm,and quick.
I have my own too Randy. I was just joking about throwing the stuff away
I would like your opinion on the quality of locust for bundle wood
Locust is a great wood. I think for bundles it is too heavy...takes too long to dry. I think maple and ash are ideal
Hey 👋 Joe
Hey there
Buy a spool and make your own. Cheap. Is that 404 chain?
It's regular 3/8 .058 chain.
sharpen that chain with a dremel and stone bit. no need to remove chain and bar. if you have room to hold the right angles it works great..ive been doing it for years and works great, just my advice thanks joe,,,,
We prefer to use a hand written invoice. We use a local print shop to make our 3 part invoices. The hand written details just seems more personal. Computer generated invoices are great but we are old school.
When I ran an ebay store I would use invoice books from the store and all of them were hand written..
@@DanielAtkinsFirewood I like it.
Thanks Dana. I will stick with computers. Noone can read my handwriting LOL
Sam, sure you've figured it out that when Joe says we, he means you
LOL I was thinking the same thing Brandon LOL
What program do you use to make your invoices?
Have you never heard of sharpening cutting chains
Or maybe recharging batteries?
Chainsaw chain is meant to be sharpened. If you don't know how, take them to your local saw shop and have them do it. mush less expensive than new each time it's dull.
I hope you know I was joking Jeff!
@@ohiowoodburner yes I was sure but too many people I know are just as you was showing. There’s a lot of unknowing that will see you throw them away and do the same
You guys still play with dolly’s…lol! 🛒
Helloooo DOLLY!!!
These are the 🤣🤣
I'm doing this with a small family owned convenience store, literally a mile from my house. It's been great so far. Just curious why do you stay away from campgrounds?
I try to maximize my price per unit. Campgrounds don't pay as much as retail.
Is Sam in the running for employee of the month since he unloaded and stacked his order?
He could be in the running but he needs to step up his game!
I'm in the probationary stage !
Buy a chainsaw chain sharpener looks lick a small grinder that moves at a set angel fore the chain .or use a drimal tool and the right size grinder head for your chain. Wach in the wood yard on u tube. Chris shows how to sharpen chaine on saws and a comershal chaln on a wood prosseser no removal needled.
Or a file will work come on Joe little elbow grease!😎
haha!! This way I can pay Sam a visit!
I'm sure there is someone near by that can sharpen those chains for much cheaper than replacing them. I have a guy that does my chains, because I suck at sharpening them, and it cut my yearly chain cost in half. I just saw wood for my own heat in the winter. I could only imagine how much it would save you if you can find someone. EDIT: I should have finished the video before making the comment, OOPS. 🤡
He found someone ....Cortland Mower Sales . After...."WE" unloaded the wood ! 😅😂
I pay a guy to sharpen mine as well. I don't go thru 1/4 of what you do tho.
I sharpen about four chains a month
Joe ! How do you get your customers to unload and stack your firewood ?! 😅
haha. I'm a grizzled veteran of the firewood industry
@@ohiowoodburner sneaky 😄😄
Can't they be sharpened?
I'm surprised you don't get your chainsaw loops sharpened.
I do. I was joking about throwing them away
Joe to things why did you throw that dewalt batteries a way just charge it to buy two chains so you got a spare one good video great job
haha. I didn't throw them away. Just being funny Bob!
Baahaaha! Tee hee hee
Tip #1 you can buy a stilt chain sharpener and save even more Tip #2 buy yourself a battery charger and it will pay for itself on your second battery
Thanks Bob. I was joking about throwing stuff away
Joe do you sharpen your chain , joe you should 100 cords on a chain unless you hit a lot off rock 🪨 or steel in the firewood 🪵. Joe our firewood wood hound PHIL with Allen family firewood, guy that bring you a DR . PEPPER and LOBSTER 🦞 SANDWICH 🥪 had a bad accident on OLD BUSTER under Allen family firewood wet T- Shirt 👕 contest if you want to look 👀 at . I like all wood hounds to reach out to Phil and Karen on there U Tube channel in the time off need . Tks from little Lennie 😊. TAKE CARE everyone THINK 🤔 SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST in the woodyard and forest 🌳. 😊
Thanks for the comment Len!
You need get chain saw sharper
I have on randy. I was joking about throwing them away
sharpen the chain !
haha!
If you have dirty logs why not pressure wash them, seems like iw would save you time in changing the blade.
I don't have a water source Bob.
?,,,would it be cost effective to spend some time and self sharpen your saw blades. I am going to subscribe to Chicken Ranch Homestead! I like your business model for growing your business. Growing a business shouldn't cost a lot of money. It is the thought pattern for development of growth. Keep up the video's, I enjoy every one of your broadcast....💝
Thanks Terry. I was joking about throwing the stuff away
why in the heck don"t you resharpen the chains? it's like a chain saw
I was joking.
gas is getting low buy a new truck, thanks for the vids!
LOL I had actually thought of that but couldn't figure out a way to make it work LOL
Baahaaha
Sharpen those chains
I do... I was making a joke Chris lol
@@ohiowoodburner got me
You resharpen the chains and recharge your batteries.
I was joking Brian
You should sharpen those chains instead of throwing them away.
Hi Joe, big box stores in particular should be embarrassed, bringing in kiln dried bundles to NYS from eastern Europe… 🤦🏻♂️
Surely you sharpen the chains yourself ?
I do steve but don't call me Shirley!
Ha. You were pulling our chains you rogue.
haha. Glad you liked it buddy!
You dont sharpen them ?
I do Bill. It was a joke.
@@ohiowoodburner guess im just to serious.
hi there kill 2 birds with one stone , interesting after some of your past bird situations . lol, then later i hear you are wrapper. and you wrap at home . good show john
Yes I still wrap at home. Easier for me that way. I was trying to come up with a better bird joke but that was all I could do LOL
Ha Joe do you know that those can be charged
haha. Just joking Dale
@@ohiowoodburner okay Joe
I see that Mahindra Tractor was running ads against your video. (I didn't skip, you're welcome.) Useless information: Civilian Jeeps, CJs, came in many models over the years. Commonly seen in the USA are CJ-2, CJ-3A and 3B, CJ-5, CJ-6 and the final CJ-7. But what about the CJ-4? Why no CJ-4? The CJ-4 was a CJ-3A made in India - by Mahindra.
Very interesting Jasper. Would have never known
You're very kind.
Joe.... the Alphabet-ennials don't understand sarcasm, and Boomer humor..... It's a beautiful thing to watch the wheels turn in their heads and smoke fly. .. but sadly most just don't flip the switch...
haha. It seems the other way around Greg. LOL.
why don't you sharpen your chains?
Nt believe you thru that saw battery away ,when its rechargeable, what's wrong with you Joe?
do u not get your chains sharpend? amish are good and cheap
I do. I was joking
Can you sharpen those chains. You would save hundreds of dollars every year. Good luck Joe.
Sorry Joe. Should have watched the whole video first. 😂
ha ha!!! Thanks for watching eric!
You should sharpen those chains get more use of them
I do. I was just joking Lee
@ohiowoodburner sounds good love the your channel
Surely your not throwing them chains out without sharpening them. Hellfar they have 4 grinds on them and twice as long hand filing
My name isn't Shirley!!!
Why are you not sharpening your chains?????? Best way to do it is buy yourself a chain grinder.. Stay away from all those manual things that are advertised on line... Get a real grinder and save the most of it in no time
I'm just being funny Wally. LOL!!!
@@ohiowoodburner My name is Walter, My company name is Gator Enterprises.. Some people call me Gator after the old Cartoon called Wally the Gator and the Sir is because my title is Lord Walter lol now their is a true story for you
Why don't u sharpen the chains your self or take to a saw shop to sharpen rather than buy new all the time
I was joking Greg. I sharpen them.
@@ohiowoodburner I was hoping you were cause that would get expensive
@gregorydaugherty2405 He knows a guy !
Why don't you sharpen the old chains instead of through it out
I was just joking! I don't throw my chains away
Joe,it pays to have connections with different companies and businesses ❤😊😮👍🪵
It sure is Todd. Thanks buddy!!!
