he looks like I do when I get my saw out.....drooling and mesmerized!....start 'em young on them Stihls and he's destined to be a great man someday
Bobby, wish I had pics of my kids when they first started helping with firewood. Just keep him involved and some day he may want some of his HS Sr pics to include that Stihl he grew up with because it meant that much to him. :coolsmile:
That one of those kevlar bibs I've been hearing about . . . I've been meaning to get myself one of those and some chaps.
He is my helper with kindling. My wife says I have him brainwashed. Every day I pick him up from daycare, he says, "home, firewood". Found a John Deere battery gator for him at a garage sale. He loves it, and so do I....he drives around, picks up the sticks for me, and says "firewood. I just hope he keeps the same enthusiasm as he gets older!
Yep, stacking first, then splitting, then get em on the saw. My oldest son is ready to start running the saw, but I don't know if I'm ready to let him yet, not without all kinds of safety gear anyway. For now they are the main splitter/stackers around this house.
I could use a kid like him...great that they help you! girlfriends kid wants to sit around playing xbox lazy as can be!
Priceless! They will remember those times the rest of their life. My kids do, and they are in their 30's
Awesome! My little man was helping me cut a couple weekends back. :lol: I can't wait till he's old enough to really help out his busted up old man.
Before this rain moved through we moved some wood from the stacks up to the house. I dropped a limb off the wheel barrow and sent my little one to get it. He's a big help.
