Measure Firewood As You Cut

Measure Firewood As You Cut WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Chain Saws Erv Erickson was spending too much time marking logs by hand before cutting them into firewood so he invented an easy-to-use tool that lets him measure the wood as he cuts it Now he’s ready to market the device “It saves a lot of time and energy ” says Erickson “Your wood pile will look a lot more even and nice since all the wood is the same length ” The Chainsaws Rule as he calls it is made of lightweight aluminum and designed to snap onto the chainsaw’s handlebar at 2 places It comes in 2 different sizes which measure wood up to 18 or 30 in long The unit comes with a telescoping rod that has 1-in markings on it and a red aluminum flag at one end The rod telescopes in or out by loosening a set screw “You just put the flag against the end of the log and start cutting ” says Erickson “The flag is spring loaded so it’ll rotate up out of the way as you cut down into the log and then spring back out as you go to make the next cut “A knob that slides along a slot can be used to mount the Chainsaws Rule on any saw depending on the angle of the saw’s handlebar ” When it’s not needed just collapse the telescoping rod all the way in and rotate the flag up out of the way “That way you don’t have to take the unit off and put it back on each time you use the saw ” says Erickson The 18-in model Chainsaws Rule sells for $39 95 plus S&H; the 30-in model for $49 95 plus S&H Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Erv Erickson Teveks LLC P O Box 13 Addy Wash 99101 ph 509 680-0231; chainsawsrule@gmail com; www chainsawsrule com
