Just think of the times when the logs won't be rolling in. You'll be able to get caught up. Here's a word of wisdom from my grandfather when my uncle asked him, "How did you get all thst work done farming with horses?" To that he replied, "We didn't sit around half the morning drinking coffee." Sounds like a good Sunday sermon or something you could use on getting the job done. Log hauler Jesse has the same work ethic of my grandfather.
He doesn't quit. That much is true!
I bet Jesse could pluck a dime off the hood of your truck and not leave a scratch...he is amazing
He prob could. He is awesome to watch
Joe it's so nice you are getting in so many logs. Stack all you can on the new end of the original pile, where Jessi stacked today, and on your emergency pile. All the while working on processing the original wood. With your size tractor, I wouldn't be afraid to stack in your original space a little higher. Just an after though, may should've started stacking your firewood just a little farther away so you could possibly have two identical log piles. Either way can't wait to see what you come up with.
I am hoping to get this place packed one way or the other buddy! LOL
It’s a lovely thing to have. Nice looking logs.
Boy' am I behind in your vids. Still lov'n em. I bet Log Hauler Jesse could pick up an egg without breaking it. He is a skilled operator. Gave a great day 🤠👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Joe now when Mrs OWB says go cut firewood you can't say I don't have any logs😃
Y'all have a great 👍 day
haha you got that right Mike
Well done Jesse! Elaine from Canada here, always nice to see another video of precision off-loading. Joe, if you’re getting serious about production growth I think your idea about getting a larger live deck if you need it, is a viable option, it would serve you well in both time and energy, also not having to sharpen/ replace as many chains as you saw through a thousand logs to make them fit on your existing live deck. I’m sure you could hammer out a good deal either selling or trading in the original one. ( just my two cents as I sit in my armchair sipping coffee!) Some of the past few nights here are barely above freezing, squirrels are busy gathering pine cones, I can’t help but feel the change in season , aagghh! Keep on keepin’ on Joe, have a great week, cheers from up north.
That is interesting to hear about the cold weather. We are under a heat advisory! LOL
As for your live deck, look for sawmill green chains. Around 2006 we had a sawmill expanding and i got their 60 ft green chain from their old mill and let me tell ya when i load it up its a good 6 hrs of processing with multitek 2040 i got. If i have someone to load it for me we can run thru 3 to 4 log trucks of wood in 12 hrs. And ya never have enough room. Started with 5 acres in the 90's for firewood , bought another 7 acres in 2004, than bought another 13 acres from another neighbor in 2012. Keep the chips flying. 😊
Sounds like you have a serious operation JP.
@ohiowoodburner did a few years ago. It just all sits now. Im 50 now and thinking about retiring to be honest.
I have been in firewood for 35 years before I was injured and illness made me retire, but seasoned firewood is but money in the bank, no matter how much you think you have, you will never actually have enough, building a better loading and delivering scheme is also very important, one's wood would definitely be better after 2 years,
That's a great open space. Great stuff
This place is awesome Derek
That was definitely the most difficult run of wood I have seen you have. On a positive note, your difficult days look easier than a day for most people! Hopefully, the engine issue is a simple fix.
Wood in
Wood out
That’s what it’s all about
💪💪
That's true Eric!
Time to get busy, the yard is filling up, that’s a good thing.
Hammer down Keith!
Hi Joe. A great problem for you to have after last year of having too many logs. 😁 Keep up the great work. Have a great day 👍🏻!
The wood is like Benjy's in the sock drawer Joe.. . Keep your Log pile high your split rows long and your machines fueled and ready.... once on top of it life is good!
I like the way you thing Greg. Thanks buddy
Great to see you expand your woodyard!! Looking forward to seeing y'all expand!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks Dave
Keep building inventory for a rainy day.
That's the plan buddy!
Jesse needs a key to the gate I believe he's a very trustworthy man 👍
He does. I was joking.
As always Joe a Great Video. Great to see Log Hauler Jesse also. Good load of Maple, Cherry, and Oak. Your Jappa 405 should handle that very well. Just started on my Locust Logs and filling up my Cellar area. Keep up the Great Videos my Friend. Thumbs up to you and Jesse. See you at your next Video. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg.
Thanks Ron
A thought on future log placement could be a long your driveway wall on the inside. Maybe your landlord has more cement blocks that you can place 4 ft from the ends of 20 ft logs and space them 4,6 or 8 in fm the wall. Kinda like a holding pen. IMO
You're overflowing with logs Joe. It has to be a good feeling!
I'm loving it but it is also a lot of work to look at LOL
Good Morning Joe, 👏 Nice load , The woodyard looking great, Also I just ordered a SuperSplitter for our bag wood splitting, Take Care my friend 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Keep us updated on the SS. Great machine!
@@ohiowoodburner its the HD with an electric 1-1/2 hp motor
It’s good to see your supply going strong! Have you ran that elm through the Japa yet?
You might have to get up earlier to get those logs cut up. 😅
How hard would it be to find restaurants in a very rural area that uses wood on cooking or smoking? Just casually ask about if they use wood in their business to cook or smoke while having a drink or meal at said restaurant? Would make for a great topic for you, coming up with icebreakers to get the convo rolling.
I have just about every restaurant in my area. I'm not sure if I want any more
We’re behind you, Joe. Behind every big man is a big behind.
LOL Well said Beachy!!
Hi Joe you need to hire some people with saws to start cutting to get you caught up thin use the axes to get the splitting.
I like the way you think Chris. That would be nice. Some day prob
Have you considered getting a couple of the cement barriers for "book ends" for the log piles?
no I just let them lay as they are. I am making decent progress now
Stop , collaborate and listen , Joes back with a brand new edition! Nothing like a fresh pile of logs to feed that Japa !
Try and get us more videos of the 405 in action if you can. I know it's hard to film while you're running the machine, it slows you down. You and the 405 make a wonderful combination. Keep up the great work, Joe!!!!!!
I will Pete. Stay tuned
@ohiowoodburner that flip up tray that fits under the end of the log while you're cutting it, I don't know the name of it. I've seen you use it, not only when it gets to the end of the log, and providing the log is of right size and straight. As the cylinder is pushing the bottom round forward through the knives, you're already cutting the next round with the tray up so as the cylinder comes back you can drop the top round from the tray and repeat. It's a very slick and rhythmic motion which can increase production without hurting machinery or man. Keep up the good work
If you had a viewer participation day,
How many cords of wood do you think you could get processed in a nice long day?
Could you get ten cords done in a day?
Nice to se Your inflow is well suppling Your sales. Nice position to be in.
It feels odd but I can get used to it LOL
Good Joe: The woodyard is looking great. A couple of suggestions for you. Consider a second row of logs where the stacked Ash is. That would give the ability to use up one row of logs and still have plenty of on hand. Kind of a first in first out rotation. Unless you have a bigger machine like a large compact track loader, moving full length logs will be tough. The tractor loader arms would likely get torqued by moving such long logs. I use a loggers tape and cut my logs at an exact length to reduce off cuts.
That's what I do Rich with my own tape. I minimize my off cuts that way
Looking Good , Question How many cords does log hauler Jesse bring on his truck every time?
It ranges from 5-7 cords.
Seems you need a helper and to commit one or two days per week to processing.
That would be nice. I have a HS boy but he has a full schedule
great job Jesse and a great video joe
Hey Joe. I appreciate you too bud.
Kenny
Thanks Kenny!
3 straight days on the processor, no interruptions, just go for it, leave you 2 days for delivery. Every once in a while you'll have to make that commitment bro.
Winter is on the way, and if you make the personal commitment to run all that wood through, you'll be glad for it later in the season. Guaranteed 😇
and then it rains LOL Thanks Adam
they make raincoats.
@@ohiowoodburner
Definitely upgrade the log deck. Less physical labor in the heat and time savings, fuel savings. Your going to love the bank account when your out of dry wood.
Hi Joe,if you get a wider log deck will it make handling the odd crooked log into the Japa infeed problematic? Good video.
GOOOOODD Morning!!!
Good morning!
Have a great day Joe!! 👍
Thanks Knotty!
I suggest you invite thour subscribers to come help for a day. With one loading the deck and one at the controls of your processor, you could eat through your log pikes . You might find a viewer who wants to practice their stacking skills.
Get all that wood diced up.
You Got This!!! Keep up the GREAT Work!
Thank you! Will do!
You are fortunate to get longer logs. Some of the wood yards I watch can only get 10' or so. They have a lot more cut offs. Also, production with the longer logs speeds you along..
They all seem to be around this length. Too long and they become illegal to haul
Here in the upper Midwest, our firewood logs are 100in because that's what the paper mills need around here in the great lakes region.
You always say you don't like working out in the heat. I will usually start about 8:00 in the morning to beat the heat and sometimes in the evening.
Daylight is the best time to start.
Get the 3 chain Japa live deck. You can load a house on it.
I have my eye on it! LOL
Hey Joe, have you given any thought to just piling your splits on pallets instead of stacking it all? Might save you some time.
No. Stacking is the most important thing we do. No need to lower our standards!
Please try a pallet bin for drying your split wood🎉😮
I will keep stacking. It is the most important thing we do. No need to lower our standards
Looks like you need to hire a kid to run the 405 while you prep logs and keep the live deck loaded and move loaded trailers to the stacking yard. (I’m available but I ain’t no kid, retired) Hitting it every day for a week should put a pretty good dent in it. Or, just focus on one activity each day… Monday size the logs. Tuesday cut and load trailers/truck and anything else you have. Wednesday stack in the drying yard. Thursday nurse sore muscles. Friday sit back with a Diet Dr Pepper and admire your progress. 😂
haha. It seems every time I set a sched it gets blown up on day one
Jesse is a magician on his grapple!!
He sure is!
Hello Joe & Log Hauler Jesse
Hey JC!!
In process inventory play some havoc on the balance sheet. With you having to let wood season, i bet at any time, you could have some serious cash tied up in logs or stacked wood before you can rotate it out into billable sales. Always enjoy the videos. Thank you.
It is a matter of getting ahead of the season's logs. I am expecting to spend some good $$ to get my inventory up. Then I hope to ride it until I replenish it
great job Jesse joe question how many loads does this make so fare good video joe
Ugh...math... I think i have 14 loads in so far
If the landlord was amenable, I wouldn’t think twice about logs outside the wall if you had to. You can always dump them back over with the grapple and I doubt they would get away.
I don't think I will get to that happening any time soon but you never kjnow.
Joe my firewood business has blown up in the past two weeks thanks to the lessons you have passed on through your videos. I’m now understanding and feeling your desire to have logs on hand. I can’t thank you enough for these videos.
Great to hear PQ Keep us updated on your progress buddy
How many cord will u get from that last load
I get between 5-7 cords
I think you're looking at putting on a person on your team. Or you can put lights on the Yappa and work all night. Haha good show thanks.
Or maybe both lol!
I certainly would like to see you actually doing some work. Lol
Go Woody! Well Dun!
Thanks Geezy
Do you separate your stacks by species?
Jesse is a pro with that
Grapple
He sure is dale!
Was going to say, all those logs are like money in the bank, but they’re more like your investment portfolio. Once you split them, then they’re your savings account.
That is pretty much spot on bill!
@@ohiowoodburner I know you already know this, but pretty soon you’re going to have do some serious moving of investments into the savings account!😃 I know you guys have been getting some serious Florida heat up there this year, making it tough.
How many cords is there in a load of logs delivered? And what is the cost?
I get around 5-7 cords. Prices are all over the place. Depends on the logger and distance
Would it possible to power wash the muddy/dirty logs before cutting or processing them. The time/cost of power wash would likely be far less than the extra cost of sharpening or replacing saw chains. Sharp chains take a lot less time cutting than borderline dull ones.
I don't have any water at this place Joe.
@@ohiowoodburner You could use an IBC tote like you cut down for your bins to bring enough water in.
If every log you own was split, your bank account would be in better shape.
Split firewood dries better than logs.
What do you pay for a cord of logs delivered?
Hey 👋 Joe
Hey there
I don’t think people steal logs. Can you start any rows outside of your concrete barriers? Or is that out of bounds with the landlord?
I only rent what's behind the wall. One day I may expand though
A good problem to have on hand. Not enough time to process logs..
I hope to get it whittled down sooner than later Dan
How far does Jesse ride to get logs for you?
Howdy you mite say that pile of logs is your bank account hope you have the best day ever
Thanks Mr Hill!
How much stacked wood do you have at Home? Do you think you will be 100% pulling deliveries from the new Woodyard by the end of the year?
Don't think Joe has ever mentioned how much wood he has in inventory, definitely has never said how much he sells in a year. Is how he stays humble, never talks about how much he sells. That said, with the restaurant customers that he has, it would not be a stretch of the imagination to guess he selle 4-600 cords a year.
@@thefirewooddoctor I was really wondering if he still was pulling stacked wood from his backyard for his deliveries. When would he be 100% working out of the new Woodyard.
I am not sure you read my comment correctly. I wasn't asking how much he sells per year.
@@robertdendooven7258 ok, now I understand. Am sure he's still pulling from the old woodyard as all the stuff in the new woodyard hasn't been drying for very long.
I still buy firewood. SOme of it comes back to my house and some stays at the guys' yards up north. I don't think I will quit my relationship with these other two just yet even though it does cut into my profit margin. It is a nice insurance policy and a convenience to have wood at my house. One day I may be 100% at the yard but not until I am comfortable with my procurement of logs. I have about 20 cords at my house and anywhere between 10-30 at the other place. That varies up there.
The woodyard is filling up! In a few months, it’ll be emptier….and your bank account will be $$$$. 👍
Yes!
You might need that empty lot on the other side of your gate.
There may come a day but we aren't quite there yet!
@@ohiowoodburner, you'd need an employee or two to need the other side of the parking lot. That's because your business would be so big that you'd have to hire someone to keep production moving while you did all the deliveries to support a woodyard of that size.
Looks like a kiln is in your future 😂
I'm not sure. They are an odd invention to me. We discussed this on our podcast
@@ohiowoodburner you know your business best, just seems like as your business continues to ramp up, available space for logs and split product to season is going to be in short supply in the near future.
Joe are you ok head you guys had a tornado
U should ask him if u can operate that truck once
He already did in a previous video at his old woodyard.
I did. Epic fail!!
I think you need another open house.
I am considering that. It would be in early May if so
Poor Joe.....went from not being able to get enough logs last year to not being able to keep up with the logs this year! 😆 A pretty good problem to have!
haha! Def not a problem!
Be a good idea just to make a key for Jes, unless you don’t trust him with it 🙃.
He is set up. I was just joking
You got all those logs 'cos you're not processing them fast enough. One feeder full a day is no good for business whatever. Two at least, maybe three. Less playing at it.
I'm a sole proprietor and I do what I can. I have to pace myself or I won't get anything done!
Time to stop Yapping and get on the Japa. (Ok bad pun). Time to expand the payroll of OWB. Find a local teenage farmer who can run your tractor and feed the log deck and then hire the local high school football team as your stacking army.
I could use some help for sure LOL
If I was closer to you, I’d give 5-6 hrs of work just for the exercise.
That would be nice. I could sit and watch you!! LOL Thanks Jim
Great load of sticks Joe just a thought why not build some L shaped steel beams to stack your sticks against you would be able to stack them higher and would be safer great vidj joe you have a great day too 🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵💶💶💶💶💶💶💶💶💶💶✊👌🏻✊👌🏻✊👌🏻🙈👨🌾🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
