Guide Cuts Wood Perfect Every Time
 |
“I cut a lot of firewood, but as I would go along the pieces would seem to get longer and longer. I got tired of guessing and of marking with a stick,” says the North Powder, Ore., inventor.
His Woodcutter’s Friend is a simple device that attaches (and detaches) quickly to any size chainsaw. He replaces the back bar bolt with a longer bolt, slips the end of the rod over it and secures it with a clinch pin. A stainless steel rod inside the aluminum rod is secured with a hose clamp and telescopes to place the battery-powered laser dot at the end anywhere from 16 to 24 in. from the saw’s blade.
“I’m older, and with the light I don’t have to get down real close to see it,” Daniels explains. He lines up the red light with the cut end of the log, makes a cut and continues down the log.
“I see its value to me, and I want to see if it has value for others,” he says. “The woodpile is a lot nicer looking, and this year I haven’t had to cut any blocks to get them to fit in the stove.”
Daniels will make the Woodcutter’s Friend for sale for $39.95, plus shipping. A video showing how it works can be found at www.farmshow.com.
