We process the firewood manually the same way you showed in the first part of the video(well we have a logsplitter too). My father always says: "The wood will warm you at least 3 times - once when you lay it in the wood with a chainsaw, second when you chop it and the third time finally when you burn it." and I think it is a great workout haha!

I'm impressed! Try adding a short extension on the ram, with a vertical slot cut into it, so that it can push the log *past* the vertical cutter. This way the next log will contact the vertical cutter first instead of contacting the previous log first and being pulled to one side.

From a young fulla in the early 70's all the way though my years till 10 years or so back mid 2000's, I did what you are doing without thinking about log splitters as they do today. Watching your innovations to make something of your little log splitter has showen me a better way to have done just that. Good NZ native fire wood back then was so plentiful and easy to get every one that needed it just went and got it. Not like that today with the pressures of life put on other peoples lives going out to gather any good firewood is in such demand now that some now make a living out of it regardless weather they are splitting up good heating wood or not as the punter or buyer don't know good wood from bad. Good wood would normal be NZ native, but so little of that around now that people are buying pine, a far less good wood for heat but wood all the same. Watching your video I wish I'd thought to use a splitter like yours that took a whole log cut it and split it loaded it on to a truck or trailer for removal saving ones back and time to do all the things this video and I presume your next shell show. I look forward to your next, thank you!

@dillrepair4 жыл бұрын
@@DonnDIY i have a lot of oak, and the little splitter is slower than most but with these extra wedges we can make up for slow speed with more pieces per stroke. excellent. keep up the great work man. the other thing about these little ones is they fall off stuff so easily... i actually dropped mine on the concrete by accident when it slipped off the back of a pickup while splitting. cracked the aluminum piece that connects the motor to cylinder and had to cut that part off and thread flexible hydraulic lines in. i think i must need a reservoir or larger return tube now down near the motor because i can hear it cavitating sometimes. anyway thx again. sometimes people wonder why i'm cheap with stuff like this but $2000 on a new larger splitter seems like too much when i could spend the money and time on tools and fabrication experience as you have.

Donny, I see where you are going with this, One thing that would be a huge improvement would be to add a conveyor, Then build some boxes of about 4 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet, If I recall you have a tractor with loader and could use forks on it, Once you process your wood the conveyor will dump the wood in to said box, One can make sure the conveyor has a good swing and using a set length of light weight chain you can set up a number of boxes in an arc, This way when one fills you just push the conveyor to the next one. Another thing to consider as well is a table to set logs on to either in a fix location so that someone can load a number of logs on to said table and they are ready to be processed. With this set up you will be able to process a large amount of fire wood in a very short time. With the boxes one can stack them pretty easy 2 or more high and because they are loose stacked inside each box they will dry very well even when in the elements. I look forward to seeing what you do!

@@glennfelpel9785 I made something as well, Pretty easy to do, Go to the hardware store and buy a length of round stock about 1/4 inch or so, all thread works good too,. Then buy a hose clamp, Then take the round stock and bend about 1.5 inch 90 angle on it and attach this to the handle that is vertical, The hose clamp is placed on the handle and then the round stock in placed in it and tightened, Then measure from the bar outward for the length that you want, I cut 16 inch and made mine 15.5 inches just so that no matter what it was either 16 or a bit shorter, I also painted the end bright yellow. If you do not need it just pull it back and use the saw as normal. When using the saw you will have to cut, for my saw left to right, this way the cut end is where the stick is at just adjust the saw till its where you want it, You can also make a number of different sizes as well. Make the hose clamp snug, you do not need to over tighten, If its too loose just snug it again. This works very well and far better than any bought item!

@@glennfelpel9785 Seen few that have small plate where round bar has been welded and use studs and nuts that hold the blade in to secure it on the saw, but personally i'm not bothering to measure anymore, just make a stick to make 1 meter long for screw splitter and try do it close as possible so where trees get fell works as remote processing area, or if like now taking smaller trees and cleaning road side just eye ball them on 2 meters, load them side way on thingy, move to processing area on the yard and dump them on a pile. from there those get split and cut to proper size and loaded on pallets to dry, that then can be moved easily and work as storage as well. Anything left short go to cages after being split with small hydraulic splitter. Its making fire wood, not rocket science. Quicker and easier you make them, more wood you can process and with more wood you can let some dry longer and have stockpile, so one can get something else done during summer than just the firewood...

I say all this why as far I see that you are from north Europe and you use dig amounts of woods that will decrease the time of it.

Hello Donn, I hope your memory is better than mine as I have followed you for some time and am very impressed with your skills as a provider of metal and wood products. I watched you build the bandsaw mill on baited breath for each installment as my heart lays close to milling as well although at your age I was a mechanic. I loved the amphibious build and hope that you have a jet drive for when in the water so it travels faster. I am interested in how your chop saw for firewood will come out, I have absolute confidence in the efforts and workmanship you do. I think a limit switch on the ram will keep it from hitting the splitter blades. I hope these comments don't goof you up as sometimes you do beat on yourself if you miscalculate something and that is my only complaint... don't do that. Engineers are still attempting to put man on mars and get him back before he is two hundred years old when he gets back/LOL. Everything is math and I see you do this easy. I have never went to school and never learned to read or write till I was 47. If my son hadn't been sick then I still probably wouldn't know how.

Hi Donn, just an idea For larger logs you could use the back of the splitter drive head, as an attachment point to pull the logs forward ready for cutting and splitting, ( eg chain off attachment on back of wedge drive, back to eg 1.5 meters from closest end of log, every stroke of splitter can be used to easily move log forward for processing) would save time and effort loading the logs onto the firewood processor, ideally this should be below the deck you have made, so that it does not prevent you cutting full depth, good luck

Yup, that is my plan.

@@DonnDIY did not realise When you said you were doing a wood processing unit you were going as far as you are. This is going to be very effective. There could easily be commercial value in this for you, whether as plans, a kit or turn key operation. Keep up the great work, you are an inspiration

Probably not. I would like to keep it simple yet effective. Let's see how that'll work out... 😆

I know all to well what it’s like gathering firewood. My family burns wood and back in the day we used to make maple syrup in our sugar house. During the summer we cut split and ranked wood.

Looks like you are making Kindling wood. I cut my logs about 24" but multiple splits at the sametime is handy ..

Add a gas generator to the frame and you can take it to the woods and use the wagon to haul the split firewood to the barn.. can you add a generator off a PTO on your track machine and run the whole operation from that?
