Yul Lose Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Have any of you wood working pards ever made logs out of your sawdust and wood shavings to burn in your wood stove or fireplace? I generate quite a bit of both and it would be nice to burn some of it instead of using it for mulch or throwing it away. I watched videos on YouTube but thought I'd see if you folks might have some suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassin Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I have plenty of saw dust from the saw mill and planer. We were thinking about making logs by packing the saw dust in a steel pipe with my hydraulic log splitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
