The addition of the conveyor and Echo are really making your processor come alive. Well done! I seen a shirt like that on someone’s else’s video Sunday🤣 Take care Matt and Everett👍🏻👍🏻
You are getting it worked out. That conveyors a nice touch. I built a bracket that bolts to the bar like yours but it's a square tube that slips into another tube. That way you don't have to unbolt it to fill with fuel and oil. I have it on a recent video. Simple and will save you a bit more time. Great job Matt.
Like the addition of the gas saw . Coming up with ideas an building them like you did is way more fun than any store bought Splitting rigs . Being different an trying new ideas is the way to go .
Yes having a roadside stand at your house makes a world of difference. I wouldn’t do a roadside stand at another location because I cant keep up with mine at my house haha. Thanks for watching.
Nice work, Matt and Everett. It looks like the more you refine your process, the better it's working. The only issue I see is that the sizing stick keeps getting nocked off the saw. Stay safe.
Love what you chaps are doing. I'm the same ilk, less work less cost attitude. Lots of things I see that could help you with this but first would be: Build your self a flat surface to stand and walk on all along the length of your roller table. believe me a level surface to walk along all day will save your body.
After cutting could you drop it right on to a log splitter? then put it in the totes! That's completing everything in one assembly line at one time? I just got forced in to doing firewood so thats what im looking for. Great videos!
Yes I could but I like doing one process at a time. If you don’t have a second person feeding the splitter then the cut rounds would fill up too quickly where you couldn’t keep cutting. Thanks for watching!
Nice set up! Do you think it would save wear,tear and electricity if you could slow the conveyer . Could it be done by changing the pulleys. Maybe as slow as possible. Still put out the same wood just less wear?
They say when Edison invent the light bulb got a shock out of it so keep doing what you're doing and keep thinking straight you're getting better all the time my friend
So I tried the rollers on my table...made life allot harder,what I'm cutting has branch numbs sticking out, it is 14-16' long, and normally 12-16" diameter. I have the winch to pull it but what would happen is the branch numbs sticking out even if they were all flush still changes the edge of the tree just enough so when I go to stop at 16 is the numbs on the bottom we on a roller the log went forward 2" now it's 18, if I pushed it back that same numb is on the sa e roller and it goes to 14. I tried it for a couple hours and determined it wasn't for me. So I sold them in market place a d made $100 lol. The trees here have limbs all the way up on all sides andwhen they get to 12-16" diameter and are 14-16' long they are a bit harder to throw around on the conveyor. Great idea, and concept, it makes sense, it just wasn't for me though. Still looking for the grain conveyor.
Your conveyor is running faster than you need. If you put a larger pulley on, it would slow it down, give it more torque, and be less likely to trip your breaker.
I made it. I got a piece of steel and drilled holes through. It and mounted it on the side of the roller conveyor. I used 1/2 x 3 inch bolt to put through the chainsaw bar and used nyloc nuts to tighten it to the piece of steel.
Need better measuring stick and a better way to clamp firewood, then 15 more adjustments and modifications then you might have something, all's it takes is some $$$$$............ {{{{A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.}}}}
An electric saw would be nice and quiet but most of them only cut at about half the speed of a petrol saw. You would notice a lot less had been cut at the end of the day with an electric saw. Top video.🦘

I will have to check that out because bar oil and gas are a huge downside to the gas saw. Thanks for sharing!

I agree and the best part about it is if you don’t like it you can change it and it didn’t cost a fortune
Y’all got it going on with that processor . Great job !!
Yessir thank you!
I like that gas saw on there. It does cut faster. You got a nice set up for the smaller stuff Matt.
We need to get Everett to a show next year too!!!
Yessir, I told Everett ppl were asking for him.
Nice work Matt processed looks like it’s working. Always great having help!
Thank you
Anything to make your lives easier. Least you have to touch the wood the better. I’m still perfecting that myself.
Yes that’s the name of the game!
I like your set up, boy that would be nice to sell firewood right out the end of the driveway! Keep up the great work!

Yeah you are right but I have an idea to get it off the saw and that will fix that problem. Thank for watching!
Good process!! Works well fellas!
Thank you.
Seems to be working better Matt! 👍Nice hats and shirts. Talk later. Terry
Yessir and thank you

Thank you and yes you are right. I can move that whole cutting setup anywhere I want so I’m not sure that’s where it’s staying.
@@FirewoodontheHill Hinge it onto your Roller table ,lift and lock it to the legs so it goes where ever you move it.
That old manure conveyor works great. Better than the new ones. Wish I didn't scrap mine now.
Yes they don’t make them like they used too
Glad to see wood heading out the door.
Yessir that’s what it’s all about.

To make your own cheap conveyor you can get a few second hand treadmills and run them together, you can vary the speed on them exaxtly how you want 😉
Haha you are right
Good job Looks like it works fairly good Enjoy the video stay safe stay healthy
Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it .
It's like a Rube Goldberg machine! We split allot of boiler wood, that would be awesome, cut and done!
Yes that could be a option!
Nice set up!
Do you think it would save wear,tear and electricity if you could slow the conveyer . Could it be done by changing the pulleys.
Maybe as slow as possible.
Still put out the same wood just less wear?
Thanks Yeah the motor doesn’t adjust and the pulley is about as best I can do too. I would need to get a lower speed motor.
I think something like a mingo marker would serve you better for measuring length than the stick on guide to the bar
Yeah the advantage of the stick is it’s faster.
Decent set up!…great job…should save a lot of time and back pain!
Thank you and I think so too
10 years from now you'll look back at these videos and laugh your ass off. I don't think OSHA will approve your log processor lol. I love it.
I don’t think osha will approve of anything we do lol.
@FirewoodontheHill hope your business grows I'm crazy busy selling bundles. It's my first year I'm 61
@@davidhickenbottom6574 oh yeah it’s non stop
They say when Edison invent the light bulb got a shock out of it so keep doing what you're doing and keep thinking straight you're getting better all the time my friend
That’s right! We just got to keep going at it.
Using the processor seems to be helping cut more wood and help keeping up with the roadside stand. Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Yessir. I’m just trying to keep up!
hi there looking real good . john
Have you added a splitter at the chunking stage, before the conveyor?
Yeah the rounds pile up way too fast.
Limb them trees bud before you put them on the log deck. Don't fight twisting things around at the production stage. You are doing great!
Yes you are right, thanks for watching
Attach a 16" measuring flag to the conveyor table! Great job -- I'm inspired.
Glad I could help!
Hey Matt hey Everett, Back board may help keep logs tighter 👍
Yes you are right. That is one thing that’s on the radar to add for sure.
nice video, wondering why you dont have the wood covered? does it not rain very much where you live?
It does rain but once it rains it only takes a day for it to dry back out. The rain actually helps seasoned the wood as it makes it crack more.
It's getting there.
Yessir

Yeah it’s just like a processor, you must have the right wood for it to work. I get enough small clean wood for me to justify it using it.
Much more productive!
Yes it is.
Your conveyor is running faster than you need. If you put a larger pulley on, it would slow it down, give it more torque, and be less likely to trip your breaker.
Put two bolts in each leg from both directions. Table will be much more sturdy
Good idea
Fantastic 🤙🇦🇺
Where do you get the IBC totes?
Mulch plant
I like the concept. I would consider a holder for the log, rather then holding it by hand. Thinking of safety. Not sure how you could build that in.
You are right. Everett has a good idea for a holder so that will be coming soon!
That conveyor looks like the face chains from a coal mine.
Haha nice
What do you use for your bracket to hold the chainsaw? Did you buy it or make it?
I made it. I got a piece of steel and drilled holes through. It and mounted it on the side of the roller conveyor. I used 1/2 x 3 inch bolt to put through the chainsaw bar and used nyloc nuts to tighten it to the piece of steel.
@@FirewoodontheHill it’s a great idea! Nice work! Maybe I need to start looking for a roller conveyor!
You shoujd probably add hearing and eye protection?

{{{{A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.}}}}
I know money buys better things but I need some more money lol
And i thought i took risks..😅
lol you gotta take them
I don't see anything wrong with your wood processor crooked wood is easy to cut anyway I have a hard time withy saw rig myself
You are right crooked wood is difficult regardless.
An accident waiting to happen!
Hopefully not
An electric saw would be nice and quiet but most of them only cut at about half the speed of a petrol saw. You would notice a lot less had been cut at the end of the day with an electric saw. Top video.🦘
I agree with you. I only use the gas saw now.
