Goats for sawing wood with their hands
The contents
In the XXI century, the world has already stopped being surprised by technological innovations. The stores display a beautiful and comfortable fit for sawing wood from Sweden, Canada, the United States, adapted sawing electric or chainsaw. Even just a pleasure to see how perfectly they are made: the beam is clamped securely, and sawing to make a very convenient and compact besides. However, in the life of our nation, they used different variants of grandfather’s goat, and continues to use it. Anachronism and skuperdyaystve? Partly, Yes, but most importantly – «classic» the goats are very comfortable and practical. Wise and experienced, were our ancestors. Even the accent of the word that denotes this device, set so that in the future, to avoid misunderstandings and avoid confusion people term of household goods with the name of innocent animals.
To assemble this design can quickly any person, materials to make a goat for firewood almost always have on hand. However, the seeming simplicity, is first to draw a drawing or sketch. And work will be easier and errors will not have to fix. It is necessary to consider the height of a man, to cut firewood, and saw that the wood will raspylivatelja – or two-handed chainsaw.
How to make handmade goats for sawing wood chainsaw ↑
To cut firewood easier and much easier with a chainsaw. Especially if the logs you brought thick and raw. Machine wood sawed fast performance with a chainsaw is completely different.
For sawing wood chainsaw, you can use goats, gathered in the traditional scheme. But there is one serious disadvantage – the chain saw will pinch, when you finish the cut. This occurs when the cut is done between the posts (who plays for the edge of the structure end of the log saw will cut without effort). To prevent clamping, the beam must turn over to peel down. This is an additional and quite hard work, especially when you have to roll big logs alone.
Craftsmen have developed (and maybe some of them «in Chinese» copied) design in order to avoid clamping of the saw chain. And even patented their design. These goats for sawing wood chainsaw can be divided into two types. The first are the metal construction, in which the short end of the log is clamped with a chain or a toothed grip and a long free end protrude far beyond the goat. These gantry reference “heel” is made so that the beam can disrupt their equilibrium position. This design is reminiscent of goats imported factory production. Just look our easier and the documentation on them (patent protected!) much cheaper.
Other patent-protected design for sawing wood chainsaw wood:
The advantages of this design include:
- The ability to cut timber alone, because there is no need to move them in the process.
- There is no danger of clamping circuit.
- The ability to adjust the length of the pad, on which sawn timber. Pads when working on these goats turn out the same length.
- Sawn-off pads because of the design features a goat slipping in the opposite direction from the Sawyer side.
- Compactness in the folded position. In hozbloke the wall they take up very little space – the thickness in the folded position 12 cm.
How to make handmade goats for sawing wood chainsaw two-handed ↑
Who ever sawed a large number of logs two-handed saw «friendship» (Yes, with small letters. It’s not brand saws, as an allusion to the friendship of the two sawyers), he knows how important choosing the right height of the logs on the box. It is believed that the most convenient height from 90 to 110 see the Back bend is not much need to tilt forward, Crouch is not necessary, to work conveniently and quickly. After a long period of work in an uncomfortable position the next morning you will liken rusted iron cleaver – the back and knees to bend will with great difficulty.
In order to do goats for firewood, we need:
- Timber 100×100 mm and a length of 1100 mm. It will go to the Foundation of the structure. As a basis you can also use a flat, dry, and not very thick a log.
- Timber 50×50 mm, four cut 1100 mm each. They will become «feet» have a goat.
- Timber 50×50 mm, two cut at 350 mm. Of them will do «horns».
- Timber 50×50 mm, the two lines at 1100 mm strapping «feet».
- Screws 5h100 mm, only about 30 PCs.
- Impregnation «Biosecurity».
On the beam that will serve as a basis, make the cuts. Cuts do 12, two for each groove. We will need 6 slots, each with a depth of 25 mm for «feet» and «horns».
A chisel and hammer selected by the planned cuts of the grooves. In the grooves with a force drive prepared pieces of timber: four «feet» and two «horn». Tighten the screws. Hacksaw with the angle of the sawn off ends of timber, which is «feet», so that goats firmly and exactly on the ground. The basis of goat collected.
Do harness «feet». One end of the beam attached to «feet» on the inside, the other with external. Now we are sure that «feet» not disperse to the sides. Cross «amplifiers feet» also fix the screws. If the ends are lumber, a hacksaw cut down their «flush» with «feet». Treated in biosecurity and you are ready to cut firewood.
In addition «classic» option a goat out of wood, you can make a metal goats. This design will be easier and last longer. They are made of steel rectangular profile with sides at least 50 mm. For easy storage a better d-pad and the straps to fasten bolts, not welding. When fastening the bolt design can be dismantled.
Pieces of pipe are attached to each other at an angle of 45°. The resulting three cross braces for rigidity tie same pipe horizontally and diagonally.
As you can see, goats for sawing wood can be easily made with your own hands. Material for their manufacture requires quite a bit, and it is available. Just remember that goats must be sustainable, durable and meet the growing Sawyer.
