This is an interesting and informative article I found in BackHome Magazine the September/October 2010 issue.

The article shows how to make a platform out of secured railroad ties (five or six) to some long 4X4's. Between the railroad ties place tie down straps with clamps. Next place your skinny wood (saplings, wood scraps, etc) across the railroad ties. Next, cinch up the straps and use your chain saw. Instantly you have nice little bundles of firewood cinched up in individual packets!

Interesting...I was thinking "clamp" in the sense of "earthen kiln," from the headline.

Neat idea! A lot more practical than what I had imagined.

"the qualities of these bacteria, like the heat of the sun, electricity, or the qualities of metals, are part of the storehouse of knowledge of all men. They are manifestations of the laws of nature, free to all men and reserved exclusively to none." SCOTUS, Funk Bros. Seed Co. v. Kale Inoculant Co.

Can you hear that? That's my theme music. I don't know where it comes from. Check under this tiny ad:
