The Axis continues to amaze me each time I see it in action. Thanks for explaining why you were tossing the wood in the trailer. I see that some of the commentates continue to disagree with your small splits and some extra handling, BUT keep doing what you are doing, it's working!!
Thanks Bill. I have found that I am more profitable if I do the OPPOSITE of what people think I should do to sell firewood LOL
Very hypnotic watching that you have to be careful not to get carried away and chop hand or fingers off
Good Morning Joe: The Woodyard and firewood supply is looking good 👍. Have a great week and be safe out there.
Thanks Rich👍
Hey Joe.! I was at the MN State Fair today and my son pointed out a quad sink from "that firewood guy's video"....kind of impressed me that he made the connection 😀
That is awesome to hear. I will make sure to tell Holly about that!
Hey Joe, finally I'm catching up with your videos again. I was a bit behind due to a 3.5 weeks vacation through scandinavia, including Finland. I just realized that obviously I passed by the Japa factory not too far. But I gues they wouldn't have given a spontanious factory tour to me, not being a glamorous CZcams celebrity...😅
Great content by the way, makes me wanna go out, making some firewood myself.
Greeting from Germany ✌
Nice yard full of wood. It must be a good feeling getting there and seeing that.
It sure it Rog but I still am not comfortable with my supply. Need more!
What I like about this style of splitter is much less waste as you determine where to split the rounds
Joe I love the opening shots there. So much good firewood drying there - you've had a very productive summer!
Great job Joe. I'm with you about the heat. I can't take it anymore either. I worked out in it for 30 years and it never bothered me but it does now. Take care.
I used to be impervious to heat. Not any more LOL
Large knife, fast cycle time and log lift makes that machine separate from the others. Great video Mr. Joe.
Thanks Harold. You need to get the crew back down here. I need help!
Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. Great video. It ain't too hot over here so perhaps you could move your operation to the Emerald Isle for the summer months!! Your operation is a beefed up version of my setup, which has worked well for me for over 20 years. My target is to have the blade always moving and I note you have the same approach. I worked in time and motion projects in my early years so I am always trying to fine tune my activities and maximise production for minimum effort. Thumbs up to Emily, your Chief Videographer, for her great presentation.
Thanks Big Rodders. This was filmed by Mrs OWB. Emily is away at college. Thanks for watching buddy
@@ohiowoodburnerOopps - sorry Mrs OWB. Joe - I now know where Emily acquired her filming skills and they didn't come from you!!
Its certainly not taking you lonh fill that trailor with that machine Joe. Love it. If you ever decide to get rid or upgrade ill pay shipping costs you can send it across pond to Scotland could certainly use that machine 🏴👏👍
I will keep you in mind Mike!
Joe, you are the Axis Master. You make the most of each stroke of that machine! Always splitting at least a 4 way and often 6 pieces per split. Very efficient and nice pieces of firewood.
Thanks buddy. It is pretty fun to run but it does get a little boring after a while. I can only run it for about an hour at a time
Nice work don't stop hehehe keep stepping and fetching 💪💪💪💪
Thanks Randy!
Way to get it done Joe!
Thanks Zekester!
Now a Maestro with that machine. No wasted motion. Good to see your continued success with OWB and YT.
Thanks Tom!
Love to see your firewood inventory is ready for a big season! 👍🏼
I need help. Bring your gloves
@@ohiowoodburner I need twenty bucks an hour. Buddy
Keep on filling that Wood Bank Joe!!! Locust is already turnin just south of Columbus.... Cool mornings are a comin! Grandpa used to say.... ya can't sell it if you dont have it ... Costs you twice as much to get what you dont have when ya need it!
I have learned that too. It is more expensive to not have logs then it is to pay too much for supply! Thanks Greg
It looks like a ballet dance when you are splitting wood on the Easton Made! 🩰🩰🩰
I am pretty light on my feet Arne. !!
Your splitter is perfect. Your cords of wood are beautiful.
Love to see your sub numbers growing, Joe.
Thanks Beachy!!
Looked like a great evening in the woodyard Joe! 👍
tough to beat for sure Knotty!
The Axis rocks! It's perfect for the large oak rounds.
Except oak is closer to your nose on the Axis
Great splitting session Joe. The camera operator did a fantastic job. Glad to see the wood yard is filling up. Before long I know it will start emptying out again. Wondering when we’ll see the super splitter in the new yard? I wish they were road worthy to tow. Have a great day!
As a home owner who cuts and splits wood this machine would be perfect for me, commercial grade for long-term use. Pay more, get more, last longer.❤
Kenny
It sure is a great splitter Kenny
Awesome your films make me happy. 🤠👍👍👍👍
great to hear that Lance. Thanks for watching buddy
I know it’s the beginning of this note, but I’m still laughing at your last statement of the video. I almost spit out my coffee when you said “ the moon over my Axis”. 🤣 And I sure love your creative title to this video. Heh heh. Great camera work and editing too. Elaine from Canada here, enjoy the rhythmic and methodical way that you split using the Axis.
The yard is looking clean and tidy Joe. Cheers.
haha. I'm glad you got the joke. You were the first one to mention it Elaine!
Finally I think the hot weather moved out, 48 this morning. So far this summer we had 27 of 90 or better. Hang on it be coming your way looks like some nice stacked of wood
Our August has been odd. Super hot or super stormy. Been wet too
@@ohiowoodburner
Not a heck of rain here where I live
Keep up the good work my friend 👍
Thanks Mr Hill
hi there may have menchend it before a small 12 v fan .like they us to put in old cars ,may not work on the axes but the Japa has a charging system , i know you are always thinking ahead what is your winter keep the wood dry snow plan , john
I'm hoping we have a winter like last year's. No snow! LOL. I'm sure we will get a lot
Been cooer this last week as well to where i am splitting till i see the neighbors coming home with headlights on..
It gets late early around here anymore Dan
Get bunker t to filland dry no staking save alot😊
I just seen something on another CZcams firewood page. His japa has the safety bypassed and still works when you lift the hood and his box wedge has a auto cycle. Anyway when he has cut rounds that will fit the box wedge he loades up his tractor bucket at the end of a roller table( those rollers you see unloading trucks) thats up against the japa and rolls in the rounds and keeps it fed. I'm sure you could do same thing set up at the end of the feed table on the japa.
I'm no prude but I would NEVER disable the hood on the Japa. That pusher comes out fast. Too much can go wrong
@@ohiowoodburner of course but I bet you could do same thing by loading the feed belt at the end.
I'm all about safety being a disabled first responder but with that said iv seen japa models with on hood and the saw out in the wide open.
Joe… I was watching the background in your video…. have you thought about stacking around the perimeter of the yard? I don’t know if you have enough room there off the ends of your existing stacks to still circulate but that would still give you side loading capabilities with one pallet stacks paralleling the wall. Lots of linear feet of stack potential there.
That is my plan Bob. I have the one area set up for Oakland. The others will be utilized. I just need to get these middle sections set up right
great video joe good job pace your self and i hope you were not hit by the huracan that Ohio gotlast week
we had some sever weather. A LOT of trees down
Hey Joe. The Axis is a great machine. They are fun to use also!
It is a crucial contributor to my operation buddy
Joe, there is no reason why you can not have a couple fans blowing on you all day while using that stationary Machine---plug them into your Jackery. Get them!!
That eastonmade axis looks like a wonderful piece of equipment I bet it's an operating throwing the wood over there trailer like that that's really satisfying to me to throw a handful of wood over and hear it hit the bottom of the trailer or other would wish I was there to help I would even bring my own water and my work gloves have a good one and God bless talk to you later
Thanks Wade. Bring your gloves buddy
Hey Joe, Don't get in too much of a hurry. Don't want you to get a "PAT", Phil Allen Thumb.
haha. I'm never in a hurry!
Joe you need a automatic woodsplitter that will handle those bigger logs when your having to split with the Eastonmade it's taking profits the more you touch your product the more it costs to produce.
you have it backwards Mike. The more firewood is touched the more valuable it becomes.
@@ohiowoodburner Joe I'll have to agree to disagree with you because I worked in a industry and we did several studies on how to make our products more profitable and we removed 2 steps and done them in the first stage of the process and increased profits. I know by watching your channel that you like to split your fire wood smaller but I believe that with the right splitting wedge your profits could increase. There is a way to make value added fire wood without handling the rounds multiple times. And it would take some work off of you. I enjoy watching your channel.
The quality of the wood out of this is higher than a processor, and you can take lower value logs and increase their value by splitting this way. Processors have their place with consistent log size, but this turns low quality rounds into higher value wood by adding labor.
Joe what you think about spraying the Conveyor with a silicone spray for the noise
Joe Great camera work as usual. If only they could come up with an engine that is wuietor. I don't kn ow what that would be. Joe YOU ARE THE MAN.
Probably electric!
You’ve got an inventory built up in a short time . Man that’s a lot of wood .
I feel like I need to get busy still Eric!
Hi Joe!!!
Hi Eric
Hello Joe, It been crazy hot and no rain here, every thing is brown, Ps, just ordered a Super Splitter, Take Care 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Been off and on hot here but a wet august so far. We just had a huge storm Thurs, trees down. County out of power and schools closed
Hopefully we’ve seen the last of hot days next week not so bad here, you’re Woodyard looking good Joe
Thanks Len!
Hello from Chicago! How many cords do you have seasoning now at the new yard?
I'm around 30 cords at the new yard.
Looks like the chain on the conveyor is loose, running it loose like that for an extended amount of time will put added wear on the bottom sprocket. Can already see it jumping a little in the video.
That is how they said it goes. The sprocket is massive so I don't think it will wear out any time soon
Yeah man that song said it all back in the day, The heat is on and it’s on the street lol, but any way stay cool out there. To back you could not hook up a small AC unit and a fan to blow it on ya that would be the way to go.
AC in the yard would be awesome Frank
@@ohiowoodburner It really could work out that you could.
Joe,you have to get Don,Dan,sushi Sam,and others out there to help with getting your inventory up to snuff ❤😊😮
I like the way you think Todd!
You have yourself a great camera person, curious are you still winning the employee of the month, lol.
Temp in the 70’s next week in our area eastern OH, wester PA.
I seem to keep winning it each month. Lucky I guess
@@ohiowoodburner
I am thinking it is well deserved, keep up the good work.
Hey Joe I'm starting to like the Axis alot. I have been looking at the Axis and the 22-28 to up production alot. Now they have the 37d. What's your thoughts on the 2 different styles of splitters. The 37D is a haus and is Fast. But the Axis is more precise because the operator controls the size of splits. Just wanting some advice from a Fellow wood man.
Tough call. The box wedge is super cool. Vertical makes nicer wood but slower. But vertical seems to be more wood muscling the wood around. Prob take all into consideration especially price
@ohiowoodburner Thanks Joe. Hard decision to spend big $$ even tho it's gonna make me money. Thanks for the input. Hope you have a wonderful and prosperous Winter. Happy Splitting.
Hey 👋 Joe
Hello!
Seems like the Eastonmade has plenty of excess force. Why don’t they offer a 4 or 6 way splitting knife like the Jappa?
I don't think that would work as good as it would seem. There is something to be said for a fast cycle, single knife. It works great
Just keep splitting just keep splitting. Like Dorrie from Nemo.
The only problem it Takes A year plus to get A Eastonmade. I'm just not going to wait that long to start my business...
It sure does have a back log I understand. Thanks KW
I noticed a clip with a lot of grease on the outside of a seemingly sealed bearing! Too much grease is not good for a sealed bearing!
Not sure which one you saw but I think all of these are greasable.
Maybe you could handle the heat better as A Non Profit, eh? 😂 Well Dun!!
haha. If I keep it up I WILL be a non profit LOL
Hey Joe I vote you all pro for axis operator.
Thanks Mike!
How much firewood do you have left at home?
Around 15 cords.
Lol. I literally thought you got mooned. Silly me. We’re supposed to have cooler weather this week… Thank goodness. I’ll be 58 on Wednesday of this week. It gets tougher every year.
I agree with you. Me and the heat don't get a long
Agree I’m 61 got to put a winch on my box splitter lol
Would you like to do a challenge with your wood processor
No thanks...I got my hands full right now Carl
Does anyone else make A upright machine like this???
There are a few out there. Splitforce I think is one
The heat and humidity has been horrendous down in SE Georgia as well. Slowed my productivity down immensely!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks david. I can't handle the heat anymore!
I see you have your Axis set to cycle the full stroke length on each cut. You're not using its most productive feature (stroke limiter) Set that to be about 2 inches higher than your round length and you speed up an already fast cycle time .
I have it like that now. The prob is I have a number of logs that are too long so I just leave it like that. I seem to feel more comfortable using it with that much more stroke length. Hard to explain
Please always include captioning on yur videos. My speakers are mammaries up. I can't enjoy yur clips if I have to read your lips.
I think that option exists for you. You click the "CC" box at the bottom of the screen. I don't think I have a way to do it
Must be nice having all this equipment and land. Im jealous
It has taken me a while but I am getting there. Not sure i'm done yet but stay tuned buddy.
The heat was brutal this past week. I bet I sweated out 10 pounds. Feels good to see those rows and stacks of finished product though. 🥵💰🔥🪵🍊🔵🇺🇸
Hammer down buddy. I am going for it now. Gotta get busy
