Glad to see Kenny’s not getting too wrapped up in his pricing, process, or cost of a high tec bundler. Keeping it simple at its best🪵. Cedar kindling is great stuff like selling scented balsa wood.👍
"Bundles on the cheap". Nice job guys. You forgot to add the beverages into the overhead for this operation-Oh yeah-we were going to drink those anyhow. Time spent with your brother can never be replaced. Lost mine to a car accident 15 years ago/miss him every day. GNI
No alcohol involved 😂😂 how ever that may need to be factored in to replace the moisture you guys sweat out in the tropical environment of the “ shop “😊😊
I feel like Ken is the perfect buddy to hang out in a garage and and just rag on each other and not have to worry about somebody having thin skin. Perfect beer drinking buddy.
I love seeing you guys work together. You both look so happy to be together. I need to start spending more time with my brothers. Thanks for sharing another great video my friend.
What I got as well… I continued to calculate: 1 cord equals 128 cubic feet so in a cord there are something like 146 bundles of that size, each one for 2.50$ makes 365$. For a full cord nit-bundled and splitted to normal size it’s quite the same. The work almost only replaces the delivery, correct?
I really enjoy watching your videos and wish your brother he’s a survivor to different neck of the woods . I love the smell of white northern cedar snap crackle pop 😊
Kenny's Mug , Wow , the biggest one I've seen that would give a massive caffeine hit, no wonder he's so much energy, and it matches his shirt. Great video good to see you both together. 😃😃😃
I sure do get a lot of enjoyment from watching you two yahoos work’n together. Nice Bundler. The bundle frames are simply fixtures, Kenny is the Machine!🤣 Respect for the Aptitude and Attitudes of the Carlson brothers💪🏼😎 Bless’ns to the both of ya’s, Tedd
I have 2x2 ft. X 16 in stacks unwrapped. They back up to the stack, throw them in their vehicle, and hand me $20, while smiling. Like they say...smiles are contagious! Loved the Hi tech system guys.
Lay the frame flat on the tailgate, load the wood standing up, you can load a bundle each and do a full load in half the time! Where did Kenny get that travel mug?! I love my tea, and I want a BIG mug for my break at work! Love this channel, your videos are actually a cornerstone of my day! Keep on keepin on!
Chris, I thought your were frugal, but Kenny makes you look like a spendthrift. However, quite rightly, basic kit always works, and works well. It works out to about $365 / full cord. As always your escapades are wonderfully entertaining…pure joy to watch and BUNDLES of fun . Keep it up you two…..cheers Len (Devon 🇬🇧)
@@garylaszewski7380 Hi Gary, I agree entirely! As we say over here…”there are no flies on Ken, only dead ones!” Also, what a wonderful character, who enjoys the ‘craic.’ Love em both! Len (Devon 🇬🇧)
@@garylaszewski7380 Hi Garry, I watched Chris’s video, when he filled the inner-tubes with sand! Subsequently, he got a lot of good humoured ‘stick’ from the rest of the firewood channels! I think he has wanted a ballast box for a while, but had to stay with the ‘sausages’ to prove a point! All good stuff, and very entertaining!
Nice job on your bundler,if I were you I would go to your nearest lumber yard and have them metal strap them and you won't have to worry about them coming loose
Such a fun video Chris! Always enjoy your vids with Kenny! Such a great time an love watching you guys joking around! 😊. Thanks for this one, it was awesome! Andrew from NB :)!
Love the system - reminds me of my chip bagger. A flexi tub with no bottom. Stand it in a bag, four shovels of chippings, lift out the tub and hey presto the bag is full of woodchip! Simplest ideas are sometimes the best 👍🏻
@@InTheWoodyard lots of gardeners use it as a mulch around their plants and to add to their compost to enrich it. I don’t sell it, I give it away as I need it out of the way as quickly as possible. I advertise it online and it’s usually gone within a couple of hours - I also have a lot of people message me asking to be told when the next lot is ready for pick up! I do know of someone local to me who sells it by the bulk bag for a minimum charge, but they have the space to store it all until it’s gone.
Chris I r and ally love your channel.. I'm in San Antonio Texas and iv been in firewwod for close to 25 years.. Keep them videos coming.. Can't wait to see more of the processor
Awesome video guys its always a good morning when you wake up and you get to visit ken's wood yard!! Also I'm just about to start my own bundled firewood operation this tourist season looks crazy busy so let's hope !!🤞🤞🙏
With scrap lumber, you can have a free-standing bundle station with only the center of the bundle supported and put a few wraps on each end to make the bundle. Essentially it is a bundle machine cradle with the supporting ends moved together with a central post to support it with the top of the bundle station being open. Less messing around by not having to find the perfect piece to finish off the bundle.
I was going to give you the same exact advice, but the Firewood Physician said it much better! The bundles seem to be sturdier that way also. If you were willing to modernize up to the Iron Age, 3 sided angle iron squares would speed your production, and save a few splinters in your wrist, too!! I'm surprised how comfortable you are with that store-bought shrink wrap stuff!! No stone or flint knives anywhere!! OK class. It'll be on the Final. Who invented the first wheel? The square one.. And who was Alley Oop?
I think Ken's bundler is great! It's really not much slower than one of those fancy ones, maybe a little slower but for light bundles like those it's absolutely fine. It's firewood guys, it's not a high a profit margin business so keep the costs down, I say.
I think the best thing would be if you two get together and process and deliver! I would be so fast because one could cut the other split! Keep it up guys!
That is a good deal, around here ( upstate NY ) its around 4 or 5 bucks for a bundle like that. Especially during peak camping season!! Love the simplicity of the bundler!!!
They're up to $8 in the Tops near me... Another guy has them for $5- all Ash, and they're bigger, too. (I bought a $20 bin off him, and it's darn good stuff.) He's just making some extra $$ off cleaning out all of his dead Ash trees, is what he told me. $5 seems to be the norm for a bundle around here, going by Marketplace. (W NY) I'm sure the guys that sell near the camping areas are smart enough to charge more, if customers are willing to pay it. I saw the ones at Tops, and just laughed and shook my head. I have a saw, a couple of axes, some racks- and all the free maple I'd ever want to cut up that say "BWAAAHAHAHA!! I'm not paying that." For kindling, I have all the sticks, twigs, fallen branches- and splitting debris I could ever use. (sorry Kenny!) Plenty of spruce to split up, if I want pretty smelling kindling.
Agree with you Chris, the species does not matter for campfires! Here in Maine, burning hardwood in a fire pit is just a waste! Pine rules around here, I sell about 20 to 30 cords worth of it a summer in firewood bags, all from my roadside stand. Tourists love it. Hoping to have my eastonmade ultra shipped this month which will really increase my production!
I saw some company made a free standing device that held a bundle in a u shaped cradle. It had a hand cranked stretcher with a roller chain drive. Geared fast like a bicycle. No electric needed. Can bundle at the wood pile
Nothing wrong with cheep and simple, and upgrade later.. Chris I make new parts and tools for the Mazda Rotary Engines..I have allways had engine stands around when rebuilding. The 1st time I seen a guy use a 5gal bucket I was impressed..
That I pretty much how i do my kindling bundles here also. I keep all my run off strips from my sawmill roughly 1 inch by 1 to 3 inches cut them up at 16 inches and bundle them up around 12 inches by 12 inches and it works like a charm. You will get the chance to see all of that when you come visit Chris lol 😂
Mine first one was simular put it on a saw horse top was open wrapped the ends with the same wrap. Then I bought a used electric bundler for 1500 10 years later still using it
At least you guys have BLUE SKY's and SUN ! Ken that wood even sounds Very Dry , very nice ! See and your New Best Friend TONY paid all that money for his wood bundler. Even Scheib made his own.🤣WWWWWWOOOOOOOOoooooooo !🤣🤣 I'm watching this video today 5/11/2022 and Ken said its almost April, guess What its May !
That works pretty good. A cheap “upgrade” if you will would be to have one side 1” larger both dimensions. Put it in the small side then if the shape is off a little it can still easily get put together without getting stuck.
Good morning Chris & Ken. Ken you ought to paint your bundling machine orange to make it official Husqvarna!!!! Lol don't think I would watch hay drying channel. I watch it dry right here at home everytime we mow hay!!!! Hahaha you fellows have a wonderful day
Good morning Chris and Kenny!! I like the bundler. Simple and cost efficient. Just the way us cheap skates like it. I see Kenny has the same sized coffee cup as I use. How many cups does he drink a day? I can only handle 2 cups like that per day. Take care my friends!!😀😀 Logger Al
10 x 9” = .6225 of a square foot Approx 52 of bundles per face cord (32sf per face cord) 52 x $2.50 (Ken sells 2 for $5?) = $130 per face cord $130 x 3 = $390 per cord if pcs 16” long
I believe Ken said he paid $70 per face cord that means he's paying $210 per full cord... cutting it all splitting it stacking it storing it and then bundling it and then selling it for $390 a full court sounds like a big loss to me
None o these bundles here in Maine. We use softwood blowdowns from trail clearings for those quick morning/evening quickie fires. Cedar may, may, be in the mix butt mostly spruce and fir. You guys are in business. I just need to warm buns... especally for she who must be obeyed. You twins whining about 5 degrees ? Whew. Hey, BTW, how do you cook and eat beaver ?
Cabin fever music in the dead of winter? I want to know what Ken’s play list looks like. I like your bundle method. I believe I will copy that when the time comes. Thanks guys.
Think the basswood I've got will make excellent kindling? Have got the bags to get that rolling. Nobody has yet asked for kindling on the weekends but where my woodyard is it would probably be a HUGE hit!
That bundler is just about perfect. Now if he had a way to make it so you didn't have to hold it to wrap it ... Get to thinking Ken... Wait how about a truck bed high leg on just one then leave the other one on the truck bed. You're still going to have to go around the thing but you won't have to lift it. Now that that's in writing I'll take 20% of the patent and we'll both be hundredaires in 30 years. But seriously I think that one leg would save you a lot of moving the bundle.
Bet you guys crack some REAL jokes off camera, your on camera jokes are pretty good too. When you two get together trying to out joke each other what ever you are workin on gets done pretty quick. You gona have enough ice there to go ice fishing. thanks for video, have a good one, GN Irene
After struggling with some gnarly 35" red oak rounds with the maul and sledge and wedges and axe and hickory mallet, I've decided I need a chainsaw and I want a good brand rather than buying three cheap ones over and over. There's a used one near me: Stihl MS 290 (56cc, 18" bar). I know you're a Husqvarna guy, but is that a solid first firewood start-up business chainsaw? It's going for $300. PS. Love the channel, congrats on the processor.
Sounds good to me, but...Eyeball the side of the piston via the exhaust before you shell out (you'll need to remove the muffler to do it... probably a T27 torx driver) Scratches down the side are not good; nice and shiny is good to go... Caveat Emptor 👍🇦🇺💪🪓
Can you make two pieces like a u-shape plywood backing it up? That way you can lay it in real fast pull a bungee strap over to secure then warp. It just seems like it takes forever inserting wood. ???
@@InTheWoodyard what a great video with your brother Kenny! America loves that guy! You're okay too. And if you're going to watch paint dry. Do it with a bonfire and a case of cold beer.
don't know what happened there, some of my message disappeared, long story short, how long does your oak take to dry and what moisture content do you get it down too. great channel once again.
If I split it down to no more than 3" tick it is dry in about 8-9 months, if it is 5" or more 12-16 months if it is 8 or more 2 years. Thanks for watching Robert!
The sad part is Kenny's getting less per face cord in bundles than Chris gets for bulk delivered. But with the price of gas at least he doesn't have to deliver. Welcome to the sticks were people burn wood to keep warm. That's were I sell firewood too! So I feel Kenny's pain.
You need this , you need that , how about this . I like Kens attitude , I don't care ! Keep up the good work !
Yes! Thank you, will do!

Hi again, I'm from the channel by the way.
Hello Robert, thanks!
easy easy great idea ken ken from kent england
Thanks other Ken!
I had a bundler almost exactly like that for many years
Cool, and now you are rich!
If you put the bundle vertical before you wrap it , then build a rotary device that wraps the bundle from above .
Would speed thinks up .
I now have a Brute Force bundler.
Exactly what I was thinking , I could build one of those.
I’ve been designing and building a solar system to allow me to go off grid.
Just got it up and running. It can handle 10kw.
10 x 9” = .6225 of a square foot
Approx 52 of bundles per face cord (32sf per face cord)
52 x $2.50 (Ken sells 2 for $5?) = $130 per face cord
$130 x 3 = $390 per cord if pcs 16” long
Approximately ! LOL
It is 10*9*16= one cubic foot per bundle
I believe Ken said he paid $70 per face cord that means he's paying $210 per full cord... cutting it all splitting it stacking it storing it and then bundling it and then selling it for $390 a full court sounds like a big loss to me
I paid $70 per full cord for that cedar
@@krazykeltic8103 Actually 0.83 cu ft, less air gaps, so more like 0.75 cu ft total

Yup, 100 percent !!
Sometimes simple is best!
Yes, we are both pretty simple!
Those two truckloads of kindling was about 3 years of splitting with his machine. I think you should change the name from glacier to second coming.
Ha! Slow and steady!
I’m watching this and it is 90 degrees and extremely humid out currently 😂👍👍 🥵
Yup, same here, this is not a live stream, all of my videos are 2-3 weeks out so that I can have one every day for you to watch!
One you upgrade to the 12-22, Kenny will gladly take the donation of the Ultra to speed up his firewood operation.
Ha!
No it's been a cold spring where I live
It just got warm here finally!
Chris you could buy from your brother , resell it went you get home . Ken bundle size for $5 be $ 585 for 128 cu foot in a cord .
Yup, I have thought of that!
Put the two end on end and load from the top it will be much quicker and easier to handle!!
This works fine.
Think the basswood I've got will make excellent kindling? Have got the bags to get that rolling. Nobody has yet asked for kindling on the weekends but where my woodyard is it would probably be a HUGE hit!

That bundler is just about perfect. Now if he had a way to make it so you didn't have to hold it to wrap it ... Get to thinking Ken... Wait how about a truck bed high leg on just one then leave the other one on the truck bed. You're still going to have to go around the thing but you won't have to lift it. Now that that's in writing I'll take 20% of the patent and we'll both be hundredaires in 30 years. But seriously I think that one leg would save you a lot of moving the bundle.
Maybe a stand instead of a leg so you can still rotate the bundle to fill the bundle. Some where between a I beam and a saw horse
Build one and give it a try!
Maybe so!
Yes Chris I'm one of those math nerds as long as the bundles are 9x10.5x16 they equal. 875 cubic feet. So that's approximately 146 bundles per cord.
Okay thanks! All Ken cares is that he makes them and people buy them!
@@InTheWoodyard that's all that really matters.
Wife and I were laughing funny video cheap way to bundle
YUP!
Wish we could send you some heat. It's been in the 90s around here (Iowa) already.
It is warming up now finally!
It's beer money 💰
Yup!

Thanks Dave Man!
Bet you guys crack some REAL jokes off camera, your on camera jokes are pretty good too. When you two get together trying to out joke each other what ever you are workin on gets done pretty quick. You gona have enough ice there to go ice fishing. thanks for video, have a good one, GN Irene
Yup, we have fun!
Actually a perfect way too settle down play some music and drink 🍺🍺🍺!!! Cheers!!!
Yup!
After struggling with some gnarly 35" red oak rounds with the maul and sledge and wedges and axe and hickory mallet, I've decided I need a chainsaw and I want a good brand rather than buying three cheap ones over and over. There's a used one near me:
Stihl MS 290 (56cc, 18" bar). I know you're a Husqvarna guy, but is that a solid first firewood start-up business chainsaw? It's going for $300.
PS. Love the channel, congrats on the processor.
Sounds good to me, but...Eyeball the side of the piston via the exhaust before you shell out (you'll need to remove the muffler to do it... probably a T27 torx driver) Scratches down the side are not good; nice and shiny is good to go... Caveat Emptor 👍🇦🇺💪🪓
Thanks, it is and okay saw, i would get a bigger one like a 70 cc size.
Yup!
@@bubskees0607 Yes all good chainsaws are 2 stroke as far as I know, ....Stihl or Husqvarna
A bundle here in Georgia is 6 bucks and it has 7 pieces of wood.
Yup, that sounds right!
Can you make two pieces like a u-shape plywood backing it up? That way you can lay it in real fast pull a bungee strap over to secure then warp. It just seems like it takes forever inserting wood. ???
Maybe so, make one and give it a try and let me know! Thanks!
I do like your brothers attitude though just like mine....take it or leave I don't care...GNI
Yup, you just can't worry about what people think!
Kind of bundler l need
You can get one, call this guy and tell him I sent you...Paul 616-206-5100
Good morning everyone.
Hello Sir Stanley!
@@InTheWoodyard what a great video with your brother Kenny! America loves that guy! You're okay too. And if you're going to watch paint dry. Do it with a bonfire and a case of cold beer.
thought I was the only one selling on cheap....LOL
No, there are lots of you out there!
Chris : Had a Oak tree cut down today at my house...It feels moist...How long should I wait before I split it ????? Thanks
Oak is very wet wood, split it as soon as possible, it will take a long time to dry, like a year!
Damn that’s a lot of split cedar kindling 😂
Yes sir it is!!!
don't know what happened there, some of my message disappeared, long story short, how long does your oak take to dry and what moisture content do you get it down too. great channel once again.
If I split it down to no more than 3" tick it is dry in about 8-9 months, if it is 5" or more 12-16 months if it is 8 or more 2 years. Thanks for watching Robert!
The sad part is Kenny's getting less per face cord in bundles than Chris gets for bulk delivered. But with the price of gas at least he doesn't have to deliver. Welcome to the sticks were people burn wood to keep warm. That's were I sell firewood too! So I feel Kenny's pain.
Yup, that is a good point, some people think you can charge what ever you want but your market area will determine that for you.
🤘
Thanks!
So at 10.5 x 9 x 16 (assumed) that’s 1512 cu. inches or .875 cu. ft! NICE deal Kenny…!!
That sounds about right!
0.875 cubic foot or 7/8 of a cubic foot is what it equates to.
Okay!
Kenny's bundles are .875 cubic feet. A face chord is 42.66 cubic feet.
Thanks!
Almost April!! Time delayed videos.. 😉
Yes, all of my videos are 2-3 weeks out, that is how I can have a video shot edited and uploaded every day for you now for almost 2 years.
@@InTheWoodyard Oh, I understand, I'm not complaining. When you'all said it was 5deg outside, I was saying to myself, Dang!
👍
Thanks a 'BUNCH" , I bet that gets old! HA!
