A little shelf on the bottom of the stop plate you made, to hold up the end of the log, will then allow the log to be cut into 3 x 38" sections. It would also ensure a 90 degree cut as well and the log should still fall off the cutting deck when fully cut.
Fun project fellas! I saw plenty of comments suggesting adding a “support ledge” at the bottom of the stop plate on short logs……nah, here’s a better solution: Have a 38” (or whatever your desired length is) marked on the log carriage. Keep the desired end on the carriage and cut off the excess. Problem fixed.
Tucker is getting very good at welding Dad!!! Looks like it will work great after the learning curve. As always thank you for bringing us along on your adventure!!!
Tucker laid an excellent herring bone weave pattern on his welds - looks great/strong and excellent penetration. Always fun to watch your thought process on these fabrications. 🙂
I noticed you sitting on stools a fair bit in this video, plus you young boys featuring a lot more in producing stuff, is this you preparing to retire and let the next generation do the heavy work, if so you should get a raised platform with a rocking chair and a drink cooler set up where you can spend your days telling the young guys "I wouldn't do it that way!!! A megaphone would be handy😂
I know I've said it before, but again, I am always so impressed at how smart your entire operation is, from the surgery like workshop to the immaculate laid-out yard, the turned out like-new equipment, and of course, my favourite, the always pristine blue Peterbilt!
OKS !! When you go to pickup a log ,, that bracket & chain gauge sticks straight out so if there is a log laying next to the 1 you pick up ,it's going to hit !! Watch the video !!
I would like to tell you how great it is to see you include your boys in the different projects that you take on. There are so many families out there that don't teach there kids the meaning of good hard work. Your boys will be very glad that they have learned to work and it will serve them well the rest of their lives. Mike
Love the change in projects. You guys really do a diverse range of projects for your clients. Tucker is really becoming a very talented welder. I only wish I could be that good. 👍🏼👌🏻
Always interesting when C&C throws another video our way. Don't tell that welder, but besides being strong those welds are pretty (To me anyway) to look at. I could make them strong, but not much to look at. Good video, keep them coming.
Mason, this is directed to you. You are a young man and all of us out here in You Tube land are proud of you. So please, get those safety glasses on when you're near drilling or other processes that are throwing metal chips. I was a mechanic then a mechanical shop foreman for about 50 years and have seen quite a few injuries in my time. Yeah, I'm a nagging old fuddy duddy but you're not the first one I've nagged about it. Keep up the good work and get the most out of what Clinton and the rest can teach you.
Agree with you sir. Mason you have a great opportunity before you and your great attitude will separate you from all your peers. Gods blessings on you.
💯 Agree, I would have lost my right eye twice, once my fault, once another person's fault without safety glasses in the last 40 years. You deserve to leave work just like you showed up, no job in the world worth your eyes limbs or digits. No way nohow.🤕
As some already suggest that little shelf is maybe the solution. The risk are that the log stops against that when "feeding". I should try a little a little shelf mounted with a drop angle so the log steer up and against the plate, and holding i up until the cut is made. Thanks for charing your videos, and work. I'll do a lot of firewood each year. Greetings from the middle west of Sweden. (Dalarna)
I built a processor very similar to that. I used chains on the table to feed the log so that’s the difference. I had trouble seeing the log when it fell into the splitting area so I added a wireless camera and mounted it on the top of the chainsaw guard. It works great and you can see everything you need. Good crafting gentleman.
A one-off fab is good start, but the engineer in me says, needs improvement to overall design. But I'm sure the customer isn't looking for automation. 3/4 plate... you never cease to impress! Great work! Great Family! Need some more Kevin lately though...
You should print out a diagram on left and right controls Attach it to equipment column where operators can see it Keep up the great videos Stay safe Glen from Guam usa
Hello Clinton, I watched the wood processor closely and the problem seems to be the hydraulic clamp arm needs a swivel on it so the clamp mechanism lies flat on the end of the log. because everytime you used it, only 1 of 2 clamp arms was touching the log so it wasn't clamping the log down evenly. Look at Ts : 26:28 and 27:59 and 28:48 and 29:33 and 29:41 the single band caused the log to tip. I think if the clamp was able to rotate the first row would land and then the second row would land before the device applied the hydraulic pressure to hold the log flat and in place for the cut. Oh well, I tried.
In order to cut the smaller pieces [less than 38"] you should consider wielding a small piece of iron at the base of the circle. That would assist in holding the log in place and prevent it from shifting.
Training a new generation to do manly things and take charge to get it done. 👍 Needed more good sons to make more grandsons to be proud of. Hopefully mom will instill in your boys to have this understanding and wisdom.
Clint some type of cradle to hold up end of log added to ram or stop plate will support last long log. I thought the Mrs was coming out to yell at him for not changing out of school clothes
I was impressed at how fast the saw powered through that White Oak. It looked like you tried to bump the log just a 1/4" or so off the new round log stop to prevent the pinch. Small little moves look difficult.
All I want to say is if nobody has told you you have done a fine job you all
Tucker, those welds are cleeeeean! Beautiful job man🔥
IR&D shop!! Love it, this is where you learn and things get done.💪👍🇺🇸
Glade to see your boys at work , Dad love thems .
Your coaching on your boys is stellar!
A little shelf on the bottom of the stop plate you made, to hold up the end of the log, will then allow the log to be cut into 3 x 38" sections. It would also ensure a 90 degree cut as well and the log should still fall off the cutting deck when fully cut.
exactly! glad i was not the only one to think of it!
Won't that make it pinch the blade
I don't think the cut log will come out with a ledge that large. Unless there is a way to retract the piece when the cut is finished
It will jam the saw
then the ledge will hold the cut log up and it will wedge when it tries to fall i would think.
Fun project fellas!

Wow that tucker is an artist! Them some amazing welds!
Oh wood you look at that! Just look at it! 😁😎🤟
I watch all your shows they are all good I’m from fergus ontario Canada
Tucker laid an excellent herring bone weave pattern on his welds - looks great/strong and excellent penetration. Always fun to watch your thought process on these fabrications. 🙂
Morning coffees on guys! Here we go!! Cheers!;-)! Beauty Welds!!;-)!!
That setup is quite the beast! Looks like the next installment of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.😱
I love seeing the young fellas welding 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Good life skill 👍🏻
Just stopped by on my way to war in the woods I appreciate the hospitality.
Glad you stopped by
Have fun!!
@C_CEQUIPMENT did Kevin come to War In The Woods Saturday if not there a twin
Good job . Really enjoy watching you all work. Dad is teaching correct.
Glad that i logged in today
Nice welding tucker 👌 👍
very good video, really enjoy watching them, Tucker finally cheered up about the end of the video, lol. keep up the great work.
A great watch that is impressive 👍👋🇨🇦

Grandpa is still involved. ½ of C & C
My dad has not been involved for over 15 years
I know I've said it before, but again, I am always so impressed at how smart your entire operation is, from the surgery like workshop to the immaculate laid-out yard, the turned out like-new equipment, and of course, my favourite, the always pristine blue Peterbilt!
Tucker can lay a beautiful bead. He has a skill he can use anywhere.
Glad to see the new " supervisor" gettin' credit where it ain't due !!!( I'm joking of course !...) Great sow y'all !!...
OKS !! When you go to pickup a log ,, that bracket & chain gauge sticks straight out so if there is a log laying next to the 1 you pick up ,it's going to hit !! Watch the video !!
Good work ethics should be taught to your kids when they are young. Good job Dad
That was a real cutup job you guys did. Good Work.
Nice to see the varity!
One great thing about cutting white oak, it smells like whiskey 🥃
Very nice welding
That's a hell of a machine to make tooth picks! Great video! Stay safe! Thumbs up! Jim
Tucker is always tired and not a happy chappie.
Every family should have an Eeyore, keeps things in perfect balance.
Those are some beautiful wells there Tucker.
Clever adaption to make it right for the customer. Making my brain work.
I would like to tell you how great it is to see you include your boys in the different projects that you take on.

The boys don’t seem to like being on camera😂 Great content.
Another great video!
Great video Clint I sent some parts customers your way
Awesome video
Clint, that’s a beast of a fire wood set up! Awesome job C&C Crew! Take care and I’ll see y’all down the road…
diversity is good I like the different things
Good video team
Love the change in projects. You guys really do a diverse range of projects for your clients. Tucker is really becoming a very talented welder. I only wish I could be that good. 👍🏼👌🏻
Tucker is a nice welder. Grumpy as shit, but hell they move out...
Great welds Tucker. That is one slick log cutting machine.
Supervisor Kevin. 😂🤣😂 Nice that you carry out meetings like I used too, when a person wasn't around they got volunteered. 👍🤗
Good job.

Great suggestion! Add a bolt on plate over the teeth. No need to remove the teeth.
Got runs like his supervisor how sweet, Great video bro. Safe travels guys. Ken.
Welding the stop plate. Would of been a good piece for stick welding practice 😄
Nice job welding tucker👍
Howdy C&C
Going morning Clint and guys from Mississippi.

I watched Captain kleeman do the same thing with his with a camera if you know that RUclips channel
very interesting fab vid - thanks
Safety First, glasses really protect your eyes when there on the bill of the hat.

Another great vid. You and boys do some great work
You want it Well make it or fix it. Good job boys. As usual ❤️🙏👍🌹💯
I enjoy all the things you guys do. Just keep'em coming
You should print out a diagram on left and right controls
Attach it to equipment column where operators can see it
Keep up the great videos
Stay safe
Glen from Guam usa
Put a little shelf on the stop to support the end of the log
living vicariously
Thanks
Blind spot put a marker on beam that moves the log on the left side of it if you are sat in it 😊
Thanks for the video
Great job by all. 🎉
@Text-2628 🤣
Thanks for sharing
I was just wondering if there was anything you all can’t do? One of my favorite channels. Especially like the truck build with your son.
Certainly wasnt ready to wake up to this this morning Clint! interesting change of video topic and yeah!! loved it
Clint just a thought after watching again, maybe paint chain and face of target yellow just to make it easier to see, maybe??👍🇺🇸
great ingenuity i did not realize that you were an engineer on top of being a great mechanic and teacher 👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
A bit of a lip on the bottom of the circle to hold up the log may do it!!!😊
Nice Vid!
Nice, you need to put a patton on it. And get your cut off of it Moore

FRist like.. Move guys

Save the sawdust for oil cleanup.
Love this type video! Keep’em comin, boys! Thanks for sharing!!
Looks great..! Nice custom modification.
Thank you gentlemen.
nice modification, very nice welding, thanks for the video

Nice I have a classic CL5036 Central boiler and the longer wood is awesome! Great looking unit!
This was a very interesting change in what to do. Enjoyed every bit of it with the boys there doing the work. Thank you for sharing quite impressive😊
Clint some type of cradle to hold up end of log added to ram or stop plate will support last long log. I thought the Mrs was coming out to yell at him for not changing out of school clothes
Just ask Supervisor Kevin if you chareg extra for the Paint RUNS. It takes a lot of skill to get them exactly where you want tnhem.
Tucker always has a "Who farted" expression on his face.
Great job on the mods great video Clint and the guys
that is some nice welding
Nice going guys

Excellent video!
I was impressed at how fast the saw powered through that White Oak. It looked like you tried to bump the log just a 1/4" or so off the new round log stop to prevent the pinch. Small little moves look difficult.
Awesome vidjay.
