Usual thing though, demoed with nice straight easy timber.....

I have to say i love this!:thumbup: Home built stuff rocks, mainly because you can build it to your individual specification, but also it's fun to do, costs a fraction of anything you can buy and.... you know where you can get parts, the scrap :001_tongue:heap!!!! Seriously though fentiger, looks like a simple effective piece of kit. may have build something similar,

Kindling Supplier/Kindling Machine Wanted
Chris Gagen replied to Highland Forestry's topic in Firewood forum
haha, but don't forget what we said about being fussy with chop size and the look of the finished product... -
kindling wars are about to start
Chris Gagen replied to D.M.Taylor Firewood Supp's topic in Firewood forum
someone's got to make it for you to buy it!! -
Unsplittable??? what's that then?
-
i don't know but apart from the 20-30 oaks that might be rather big, i would have thought a harvester would be the answer, bearing in mind the volume you're talking, it's surely worth looking into...

hahaha suits me, i only have a japa 700:001_tt2:

-

I could have one built for you if you like, carbon copy of mine... for a price...
-
Ashman, I will be sure to post my findings right here...
-
I'll bear that in mind. I will obviously have a better idea of pricing when i get set up with it, hopefully by late spring at the latest.
-
ummm, would be in line with similar size products, but, not having got the machine yet (only going to view one in action tomorrow as it happens) rather depends on how much i have to pay for the raw material... sorry, not much of an answer really:blushing:

swap your toplink for a hydraulic ram for far more variable height off of your crane jib.
-
errrm, just thought I'd better point out that this will be in time for 2011-2012 season...

So, I'm looking to upgrade my kindling process via the use of a kindlet machine. What I want to know is who is going to buy from me?? I understand there to be a shortage of suppliers in East Anglia, is this true, or just malicious rumour:001_tt2:? I have facility to store large amounts of prepared kindling so I'm expecting to be able to fulfil anysize order (no harm in being ambitious:001_tongue:) I'm based in North Essex Thoughts please people.

storing upright is great if you have the space and you're not dealing with lots, so long as the ends of whatever the species are out of the dirt on pallets or something, you've only got to look at a dead tree to appreciate the value of seasoning on the hoof... the main reason i cut up green is threefold, firstly, you have an accurate indication of volume (if you store it in ventilated bulk bags) and secondly, you get a more uniform size for seasoning, as opposed to have 3inch stuff bone dry and 24inch stuff still sopping wet. Finally, you're able to let the machines do as much of the handling as possible, as often i can log up virtually where the trees have fallen, rather than hand balling onto a trailer, unloading at home then cutting up.

diversification!
