  • I have the next model up (400 Pro) so mine will likely accept larger diameter branches. But with that said one needs to learn the machine’s limits in terms of both diameter and wetness.

    Before I chip up a pile of branches I’ll go through with a swede saw and lop off any parts that are too big. That’ll let me breeze through the pile without fighting the machine too much. Also cut apart any wide crotches that won’t feed through on their own.


  • Great point. The drawer width was taken on a story stick, not numerically. I first made I side spacer blocks and then made a sandwich on the old shelf with a spacer block and a 1" block (each slide takes up 1/2") and then marked off the gap on a stick.

    Observant folks might notice that I made the drawers sideways. Normally the rabbeted piece is on the side to use the mechanical advantage of the joint. But then measuring the length of the front/back pieces also involves the joint. I wanted make this task as easy as possible so I used the full length, rabbeted pieces on the front & back.
