Log bagging setup

[rowan lee]

I have seen plenty of approaches to this problem here and elsewhere online. This is how I do it. First I cross cut the billets in a rack (see pic. here http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/39586-log-cutting-2.html).

 

I hear lots of people giving out about hand balling, I load the table up with one of those ball ended beet forks ( and it has an Irish style long straight handle, not the short 'T' jobbie you boys use on hand tools across the water, which I'm sure does kill the back).

Working off the table takes the back ache out of the whole operation. The stainless steel insert came out of a domestic bin housing I found in work (the lid and bottom removed). I simply stood on it to achieve the desired oval shape needed to fit the nets on. The wooden housing sitting on the small pallet, helps keep the bag steady as its being filled, and when the insert is pulled out completely, the net doesn't fall over before it has been tied. The nets are the standard 40ltr jobbies (52x82cm).
