On e-bay:  Wood Slasher Firewood processor saw Minnesota Item number: 190220085211

The unit shown might be nice for about half that price, add a log loader and splitter and you could kick some ass!
A good saw blade will be good for about 200 facecord and cut 10 times faster than a chain.

Check out post #7 in this thread before you buy the plans.

This isn’t about buying any plans!

Thats what I get for not actually going to your link.  Sorry.

That’s why you’re Mayhem and I’m Chaos

Thought about building one, not getting any younger and every year not looking forward to cutting up 12 full cords. Plans would be good reference and I would do my own adjustments.

I haven’t seen the plans or the price, but generally my rule is that I can invest a few dollars in plans or classes or seminars on whatever topic and always learn something worth the money
If I learn one new thing, or save one mistake, or save a day of rebuilding something that didn’t work, I have long since paid for the cost of the education. I have hundreds of dollars of reference books (for example, a handbook on servo hydraulics at almost $200) where I learned one or two things that later on paid the cost of the book.
So I would buy any plans or cd’s easily before starting a project like that. sounds well worth it.
