Ordered my first load of wood chips for a few projects that I have in mind. They are free and the service also delivers them for free. I'd appreciate any project ideas or suggestions.
>>2842261I am more of a metal person, might order a semi of metal chips. To think woodworking and machinist fags do ghat for a living, what a world to live in
>>2842264I didn't know one could get a free load of metal chips.
>>2842261How long did it take before ChipDrop dropped chips for you?
>>2842261Mulch everything you can possibly mulch with wood chips. I had a few loads delivered. I put them in my corrals for my cattle to bed down on and to fill in a low spot where there was some standing water. Should break down and make great compost someday.

>free chips from diseased and rotting trees ! what could go wrong !
>>2842261>freebro, nothing in life is free. you were the "free" labor taking someone else's trash. enjoy your woodchips contaminated with shredded plastic, arsenic and copper napthenate.
>>2842261Nice photoshop anon, I bet the other posters didnt even realize its fake!
>>2842261We had a pile like this once in a park nearby when I was young, we dug a big tunnel/‘underground hut’ in the pile of wood chips mixed with grass. One day the entire thing caught on fire by itself because of some heat producing bacteria shit. It was pretty cool but probably could have killed all of us
>>2842261>Baby's first photoshop
>>2842261Just finished up my first project: home made USB panels. It's actually very hard to get the lumps out, but the next ones will be flatter for my upcoming shed build.
>>2842597>home made USB panels.Awesome. Is that where you plug your phone in to charge?
>>2842522Oh yeah those chips i got and spread in the corrals were very wet and starting to mold and smelled almost like silage... They could spontaneously combust like that so make sure you don't pile them up too thick around anything flammable until they dry out.
>>2842500>>2842528I agree it looks as if it is a shop. Why though? Whats the point of shopping something like this?
>>2842637Big Wood Chip is trying to make wood chips seem cool and get more people to accept free loads.
>>2842641Your mom accepts free loads if you get what I'm saying...
>>2842637Yawn.
>>2842261OK guys my first problem has surfaced. These chips are somewhat blocking my driveway and my parents are complaining. I need to use them up faster. Any suggestions?
Does not take any courage to order stuff and get it delivered, and it would be wiser to plan ahead as to what you are going to do with it. But the image just looks photoshopped, wtf is this thread really?
>>2842658
>>2842658Grind it down, mix it under the flour, bake bread for the soup kitchen.
>>2842261Why do your woodchips look photoshopped?
>>2842261Wood Chip Bazooka/Launcher
>>2842658Stuff copious amounts of.wood chips up your ass.
>>2842350ThisEnjoy your soon to be diseased trees. Bet the company you got the chips from won’t cut them down for free.
>>2842261>free chipsThere's a high chance they're full of human piss and shit.
>>2842313How can you be sure your chips are not contaminated with cca or oil or any other nasty thing?
>>2842597>USB panelsI just bought an OSB mouse, for my laptop
>>2842720I was going to say something serious like inoculate them and grow mushrooms, but this is a very silly place
>>2842658Fill a shopping bag and walk around your neighborhood slowly dropping off handfuls. Do this multiple times until the driveway is clear enough to satisfy your parents.
>>2842925>How can you be sure your chips are not contaminated with cca or oil or any other nasty thing?I the oil contamination was enough to matter you would have a pile of soaked oily chips and it would be obvious. Most all these chips are from tree trimming companies that work for the local power companies trimming branches back from the electrical lines. Not just random roadside scraps of wood gathered up and chipped.
>>2842935>Fill a shopping bagYou're going to need a bigger bag.
>>2842264Metal OSB boards
>>2842713Because I refuse to reveal my actual residence.
>>2842988The metal shavings come smothered in cutting oil so they are difficult to bond together.
>>2842261looks fake
>>2842989seems like alot of effort for something a stock image could do
>>2842935Why not the method from The Great Escape?
>3 days without a LOLSORANDOM I HAS TOO MANY WOODCHIPS thread It was a good run
>>2842935>>2842982This approach just caused a huge problem: I dumped two large 50-gallon bags of chips in an abandoned ditch. Some nosey neighbor called the County and they made me clean it out and said that it is illegal to dump wood chips anywhere.
>We tried to save some money by using chip drop instead of buying bags of mulch from Lowe's. It's far more mulch than we expected and neither of us can be our car out of the driveway to go to work. The HOA says it must be gone by 5PM Friday or they'll fine us. Anyone who wants free mulch come get as much as you want. We need it all gone ASAP!t. every Craigslist in the country

>>2842311I've had 2 chip dropsOne took a week and the second took 2.5 monthsI got a third by flagging down the power company contractor cutting down pines across the street and telling them where they can dump it (I was on the wait list for a chip drop but they don't use it apparently)
>>2842261Pack it in a tank. Heat in. Collect wood gas? Heat more. Made activated charcoal? Or leave out and cover up once moist. Let the rotting generate heat. Many grass fires have started from clippings left to rot until the heat and volatile gases caught fire.
>>2842261>orders a 2m high mount of wood chips>has no idea what to do with any of itclassic also you should spray it with water, its going to get very hot inside and could self combust.
>>2842261sell it or make into something and then sell it
>>2842261>any project ideas or suggestions.glue them back together for a free tree.
>>2847331Saw a guy on youtube put piping through a compost pile to collect heat off of it in the winter time...
>>2842935>walk around your neighborhood slowly dropping off handfulsThis worked but it took about three weeks to get the pile small enough.
>>2850992>This worked but it took about three weeks to get the pile small enough.Small weak hands typed this...
>>2842261why did you shop this
>>2843216>just use a stock imageThat would draw complaints from the wood chips police.
>>2850992OK, new issue: some of my neighbors are complaining that I dropped wood chips on their front yards, which is true, but not enough to cause damage. Do I admit it and clean them up, or deny it and tell them to fuck-off?
i signed up for chip drop...i get a chip drop, mix my garbage in, then drop it somewhere else.
>>2842658You just ordered a mountain of wood compost to your parents' house in the suburbs? Based.
>>2852591Obviously you blame it on squirrels and birds. Its winter nesting season.
>>2852863Tried this, but they say that it's my fault because I introduced the chip pile to the neighborhood.
