The solution for tensioning the chain has just helped me! I am rehabbing an old processor and that was its downfall. I am going to flagrantly copy and tell anyone who sees it where the idea came from. Thank you!!!!!!!
A little hint from an electrical engineer. Use a real cable for the switch on the handle. Something like a H03RN-F (rubber coated). 0,5mm2 should do. Reason : Friction on the in- an outlet due to vibrations during work or transport. Simple wire will short very quickly, once the insulation is cut by the friction. Also make sure the handle has an excellent ground. Because even rubber coated cable can be cut by friction. It takes longer than simple wire, but it happens. And you don't want 230Volts on the handle when that happens. A cheap alternative to rubber coated cable would be to silicone the wires into the handle tube (something like Elastosil). But put a layer of insulation tape on the wires first. Silicone, not glue. Glue hardens and looses the needed elasticity that silicone has after drying. Otherwise a very creative build. Can't wait for the next video :)
It's like McDonald's, I'm loving it!!! Another amazing build bro!!! I'm think u might think about some kind of chain guard or something in case the chain breaks!!! None of us want to see u get hurt, and all of us would miss u your content and ingenuity!!!! Be safe bro and carry on my friend!!!
That is a perfect sawing arrangement. Love how all the parts came together so smoothly. You have a wonderful talent for design and parts fitting. I love to watch you design the system.
@@EmperorAst Could, but in a fault gives too much in and lets the chain jump off. I rather have chain to jam than get trown around. Its scary enough chain to snap in two..one? while cutting. Dont know how but it didnt whip me on the legs or such, just got pushed out and flew away. Thankfully it snap inside the protective case so end of the chain got pulled away when it spit it out. If it had broken from end of the bar, it could have pulled towards me with whip motion.
The bolt that adjusts the chain needs a lock nut, it viberates when you’re sawing, and may come out. You’re ability to design and build equipment, the ideas you come up with blows my mind. You’re super smart and I like the way everything has to be perfect.stay safe
Perhaps give us a different camera angle that doesn’t look like your forearm and elbow are mere centimeters away from the tip of the spinning chain. Or let us know you’re adding a guard to the handle. We’d hate to see you have to learn to be left handed.
You certainly need some protection from the tip of that spinning chainsaw blade. Unlike regular chainsaw,blade usualy go away from you, this one come toward you. One miss step and we would hait to see you hurt.
@@joelchabot5167 That should be simple enough either by putting a guard on it and even if he wanted to put a small box on the push angle thing, That way when its down to that point its inside.
Wayne Crews perhaps watch a channel that features kittens and padded rooms. Do you really think he’s stupid? Do you really think the camera angle does anything at all other than make you feel better?
This is going to be a great machine! And while you build it I and I am very sure many others are enjoying watching the progress. Keep up the good work💪🏾
A chain oiler lobe connected to an old hand squirted oil can might be a chain saver. It would bump it once per down stroke as you cut. It wouldn't need much oil...a drop or two.
I know a guy built a processor that used a cheap napa fuel pump switching on at start of cutting stroke. I have a small gear pump feeding oil to the bar on mine. Takes a decent amount of oil to keep chain cool and lubed to avoid stretching.
I spent yesterday serving up wood to a firewood processor for 10 straight hours - pretty worn out afterwards as you lift quite a few tons through the day. I were grateful all day long that I did not have to raise my hand and pull on a handle to cut the wood, and that the splitter had an automatic trigger released by the cut wood falling into the trough. The in-feed on your machine is great imho. The buttons and handles is certainly much better than running a separate chainsaw and splitter, or axe. Perhaps some automation or "trigger" functionality will come after running the machine for a while? To make it easier for the operator (you) to run when he becomes a bit tired. The processor I was using had a sawblade and was powered by a tractor. It was really noisy, and I had sawdust all over me afterwards. The amount of sawdust from the saw together with small splinters and refuse from the splitter was impressive. Unfortunatly much of the this stuck to the firewood. Some way of trapping this to get "clean" wood is something I would look for. Dearly looking forward to your next video in the instalment. Very interesting :-)

Fantastic mill and fabulous work. That chainsaw scares me without a free rise guard on it. Just s thought. Other than that and a locknut, great job! 💪👍👍
Hopefully it will be in full working condition next week so I can actually test it. Electricity may take some time and building the log conveyor and wood crates.
Spirit Realm He used a lot of the tubing in previous videos so it has really come in handy. I wonder if the trampoline surface can still be used for something? 🤔

Great job bro!! I really enjoyed it. I think I saw the chain tensioning nut getting loose at 11:28 minutes. Need a locking nut. Waiting to see it complete with the oiling system. Thanks.
this is really amazing! the machine really exceeds everything i have seen! in every detail everything is as the user wishes !!!! and needs !!! 👍👍👍👋👋👋🇩🇪🤝🤝🤝
Hi Don! I don't know if you noticed it or not, but when you saw a log, the chain tension adjustment bolt turns away. Look at the video to see it. Good luck.
This cuts really well! The only problem here is that the chainsaw is on the wrong side of the conveyor, if you mounted it on the operator side you would not stand the chance of cutting your arm off every time you operated it, but the saw cuts very well at those revs, and it seems very quite after the normal chainsaw noises! Well done.
I asked in your last video how you were going to do the cut-off saw and that is beautifully done, something in my head says that you should have a guard on that saw or mount it on your side of the machine so that the saw goes away from you not towards you.
Attachment thought An easily removable bin with a flap directing the wood chips into it from the saw Those are good for starting fires or soaking up oil/liquid messes. Plus a bonus you wouldnt have a pile of saw dust where you were using your processing machine
Constructive criticism! Invest in some er40 collets for milling cutters, chamfer Mills even taps, drill chucks are for drills. I think you are one skilled fabricator! Looks great, Good luck!
Clearly, the rpm of that motor was more than adequate. I would add a piece of flat bar-stock, *slightly* less wide than the actual chain's cut, but running parallel right along the top, and wrapping the tip (where you don't need cutting power anyhow) If it's thick enough, securing it at the motor end, and at the bar's tip (where you could cover the whole tip with a metal bit) would add some serious safety. In this setup, you have no need to back-cut using the top of the bar anyway. Amazing work, however! I had to really think hard to come up with any ideas, and I only had the one, above. I also love that you speed up the stuff just fast enough, that it's not tedious, but interesting instead. :)
That is actually a really good idea. My first idea was to attach a guard to the pan at the bottom and make it arch over the whole chainsaw bar. I will start workinf on it tomorrow. We'll see what we end up with. 😉🤘
Donny just a FYI you can get different size drive sprockets. Helps getting everything torque matched to chain speed. Doing a grate job love the video’s.
You could always go over the top with a VFD on the chainsaw motor to get some extra speed out of it, but TBH, it only needs to cut as fast or faster than your ram can split and retract. I don't recommend relying on pressing the chainsaw bar into the log to decrease cut time. On a typical chainsaw chain, there are guides you can shorten to make the teeth cut more aggressively without having to add more down force. Keep in mind the width of the log. If a tooth cuts too aggressively, it will fill up with swarf and stop cutting until it's pulled through the wood completely and clears out. So, regardless of whether you use down force, or guide tuning, there's only so much work each tooth can do per pass through the log. To cut faster from that point, the chain just needs to travel through the wood faster
Looks like a bad day if one little mistake is made. Seems like you should be standing behind the blade going down and away from you. Very dangerous. However very smooth and nice.
Milling with a drill chuck could end badly. They are not designed to handle the side load. A milling chuck is also a lot more stable. Nevertheless, you got it done while I made nothing. I'm impressed!

Where you from if you don't mind me asking?
The clamping part must already be made of the canvas so that the chain does not press.

Amazing work!
In case you didn't notice it, chain tensioning bolt is spinning at 11:28 . Lock nut to fix that, maybe?
A spring to put tension would work as well.

This project is already finished and up and running. I've already almost finished making firewood with it and it works darn well. 👍
Sir you are a PUR GENIUS !!! 👍✌👌Your are THE BEST !!!👍👍👍✨
That circle plasma cutter jig is a thing of beauty
The system is building up super nice, awesome job!
Excellent work👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing
Add a chute for the chips off the chain. Those chips would make some nice mulch for some flower pots or a small garden.
If you protect the saw, you reduce the danger. Also, sawdust does not spread much.
Bless your hands.

also idea, way to do....
Congratulations Mr.
I love the home made circle cutter....Its just tooooo easy! Nice job...
But, will it float ............ oh wait wrong video. : )
I need a chop saw like that. That’s way more ergonomic and environmentally friendly than bending over with the two stoke engine. Great project!

Nice Job.
Greetings from Germany.
I don't know what chain you use, but X-cut 1,3 0,325. is faster and thinner than standard chain. If you want a little faster cut. Good work😀
Excellent work and good idea....👍
Super nice job, that thing is scary sharp and fast.
It will be less scary after the chain guard is installed.
Great build man . One the saw chain needs oil might have to work up a oiler of some sort👍
Oiler was built in the other episodes of this series. 😉

i would of made that chainsaw foot operated over to may work out quite dangerous. but loving your work on this.
Accidentally stepping on the foot operated saw will probably result in more horrific results.
@@DonnDIY no you would have to keep right hand on the run switch before one pusher down to cut.
