I just found your channel and I love seeing the rehabilitation of your workshop and shed. Using all the secondhand wood and finding free pallets is wonderful. I’m so impressed you’re so young and know how to do so many crafts. Thank you for sharing. Ann in Indiana 🇺🇸
I love the way that you buy almost everything from from facebook marketplace. You make this seem doable for the average folk. Other renovation or automotive channels tend to be really out of touch with their high end workshops, tools and a seemingly infinite budget. They are entertaining, but you are also entertaining and also inspirational. Keep up the good work! - A fan from Hungary
Kind of amazing seeing another way to use a machine and how well it work for your purposes. That is a great load of wood for your firewood stove. Looking forward to your next video.
Love the practicality. You may need to hang a tarp down from the top of your wood stack to prevent driving rain from making it too wet to use. The sawdust will do well sprinkled around your garden. Looking forward to the next gem.
Interesting setup. Thanks for sharing and especially for not persuading anyone that it’s the only and the best setup. Whatever works - works. (On one’s own risk)
It's good that all that wood won't end up in a landfill or burnt on a bonfire. Nearly a cord at my guess. Good little wood processer, love the dust chute. Thanks for posting....
@ben-kilner it's interesting and you've got the gift to deliver it. Great to see someone doing well. I wish you future success, respect from Wexford Ireland.
Ben I’m a relatively new sub, and this work shop Reno series is fantastic, excellent delivery on your part. I’m in Ireland and appreciate old out buildings scattered throughout the country, and hope to convert one myself some day
@selmansenkalp jesus man, take a chill pill. Are you a Health and Safety officer by any chance 😃🤪👍. He's doing this on a shoestring budget and buying the correct ventilator ie not a general paper mask like a surgical mask, would cost too much. He'd need a full face respiration system, to stop inhaling any wood particles. I chainsaw trees and bushes wearing my shorts but don't fret, I do have hearing protection and my reading glasses on. Safety 1st. 🤪👍😃👍

Top invention. A blend of property renovation and your unique and innovative Gadget creation is well worth watching and a nice variety of topics. Thank you .
Wow this is so motivating.. Nice work. You should be proud... This is already amazing. Can't wait to see it finished. You got my subscription as a result. :)
Loving your channel,id love to do something like this but is tricky finding an old building in a great location like yours but some brilliant ideas and content coming from you,thanks for sharing 👍
Chainsaws loosen with use. Periodically turn it off and check the chain tension and chainsaw oil levels. And be sure to use eye and hearing protection. Really like your project.
In my state (US) you aren't allowed to burn painted or treated wood as toxic gasses are produced. I am surprised that your country doesn't have the similar laws. You are undertaking a very daunting project and on your own. You have my admiration.
An alternative way to achieve the same purpose: Place two large plates on either side of a large beam on the ground. Connect the plates only at the bottom to the beam. You can then fill the cavity with boards and cut a few slits in the 2 plates with the chainsaw, at the same time creating many small pieces of wood out of the boards/sticks ready for a fire.

This approach is one of the best for long straight small diameter wood 👌👌 The only downsides are that you can’t inspect the wood for nails before each cut and it doesn’t work very well with wonky or forked branches 👍
One of the best options out there but it still means you have to lift the piece of wood out each time to check for nails underneath and you only have one hand available for holding the wood which gets tricky if it is long and unwieldy. Also gets tricky with forked branches or really thick pieces.
Interesting use of the chainsaw. You are aware of any safety issues my guess. My only concern is the painted wood you intend to burn and to be sure it’s not lead paint. Nice space after your hard work cleaning it. 👍🏻
Great idea. I know you are very careful. Just would like to see some type of guard between your hands and the chain. It would have to pivot down as you push the wood down on the blade.
Excellent. Made short work of that pile of otherwise useless wood. Suggestion: maybe a hard stop of some sort to regulate the length of pieces so you don’t have to estimate (although looking at the regularity of the cuts this is t something that’s massively needed, but might make it a fraction quicker on each cut, which adds up)
Another great watch. Scared 💩out of me when you nearly tried posting end piece under the chain saw. But great safety features and thinking about your fingers and toes 😊
maybe it's not the chain not being tight but the fact that cutting all the time in the upper side of the spade puts force that tries to move the spade into the chainsaw (just wondering)
Hmmm could be… I also found that when the blade was blunt it wouldn’t cut straight into the wood but so stead create a curved cut which would then force the chain over to one side. A quick sharpen fixed this issue but this may have been the cause.
@@ben-kilner Also after a of constant use the chain gets hot and expands which makes it loose. So keep up with oiling the chain. Love the build. I have a 2 stroke saw to cut up firewood and I bought an electric one to build something like this but havent got around to it yet.
🙂 I realy like your trigger construction. The main task of your jig seems to be able to cut comfortably out of possible harms way. 👍 A question: what spoke against a achsle through the fronttip of the blade, to chop down on the wood with leverage? Greetings
Thank you! You could have a lever arm at the tip to press down on but if it were hand operated it would be one hand less for holding the wood. You could have a steeper angle on a smooth piece at the front - that could work well and allow you two hands for the wood 🤔👌🙏
It's really not great trigger. Imagine piece of fabric catches on. It pulls, forcing the trigger on. There is no emergency stop. Machine is designed to push it's own trigger. Your hand is being pulled into chainsaw that is forcing itself ON. Chainsaw should be never, ever, ever, ever designed with a positive trigger (one that is easier to turn on than off)
1. You do need to tighten (and file) your chain regularly or it will risk popping off. 2. That looks like a lot of firewood but it will be gone in no time at all.
i belive that the trigger is critical design issue. If your hand will get pullled into chainsaw, it will lock the trigger so you can't turn off chainsaw (i know that this is flimsy enough to overpower it but machine should never try to lock itself into ON position) If you want something easy, do a leg trigger (something you stand on)
Noticed your woodpile today, (I am a local.. I know your neighbours), if I see you I will say hi. Maybe I can help you some time as I'm a hoarder of... stuff.
Hi great videos ,you could turn the wood chippings by making a press mix them with water horse manure ( fresh) press them into bricks leave to dry in the sun ,

Smart and careful. And industrious and orderly. That's a brilliant combination
Thank you 🥳🙏

Starting and finishing a project in one video is a good way to keep people engaged. Thanks for sharing.
Love the Heath Robinson wood cutter it will save you loads of time! Can't wait for the vice restoration video they are great old tools!
Another example of your wonderful ingenuity ..good luck becoming a full time RUclipsr
Again fantastic production quality. So relaxing to watch.
Ah, that is such a great way to do it. You will face nice and warm winters from now on.
That rig does the job well and having the wheel barrow in situ saved extra handling!👍👍
Nice setup, great cleanup of scrap wood. Decent pile of firewood to use. Thanks

Just adore your content- the upcycling, repurposing is great!
Do enjoy learning from you!
It's good that all that wood won't end up in a landfill or burnt on a bonfire. Nearly a cord at my guess. Good little wood processer, love the dust chute. Thanks for posting....
Great invention Ben. Wish I had one in my wood cutting days. Great old building. You are doing an outstanding job.
I love the place getting tidied up. You're awesome keep going.
That's the best looking second hand chainsaw I've ever seen!
I know 😍😍 the chap selling it also threw in about 5kg of screws and nails and a pair of boots that he was otherwise going to throw away!
I was proud of getting to work on time, then I see this guy...wow!
Have you just picked up 40 or 50,000 subs in a week Ben. You Sir are on fire .
Something like that 😄🤷♂️ the content seems to be well received 🤞

You channel is gonna be very big at the end of the year
great content
What a fantastic and so useful tool and such a great job well done 👏 Fabulous, practical and so clean due to the dust collector. 👏 I
🙏🙏
Those pastures are beautiful. It's how I picture the English countryside to be...and I like to imagine my cows grazing there.
I appreciate that you have a wood dust collection system but I would wear a dust mask as well. Great video and project
He's outside, no need for a mask
@@BandiMasha Being outside does not make the dust magically not go into air. Less likely to inhale sure but it's still not safe.
He only wore a respirator in the barn when getting the wood and when clearing out a room in the building because of the dust.
@@BandiMasha why tf did op remove my comment lol

Great idea. My 86 yo mom uses a chop saw she got off marketplace for $25. All she ever has to do is occasionally change blades.

Coming along quite nicely. Going to have one hec of a workshop at the end. Luv to see old shops brought back to life. Stay safe brother…
Again great content Ben. Really enjoying your channel glued to it.
Great idea design and construction. Looks like it did the job perfectly. Looking forward to what you do with the new fireplace.
Great video series. I enjoy watching.
Glad you like them! More on the way 🤓
Fabulous content Ben , i love the series and i’m looking forward to every episode 😊
Mr Bingley himself 🤩❤️ lots of love!
Great way to celebrate my birthday weekend with a new video from you. Cheers from Ken in Alabama USA

Really like your style in doing stuff and making it functional again. I could lend a hand...if only.

Looking forward to that beeswax protection. My workshop has terrible condensation issues on the machines so could be very helpful.
👍👍 it has worked really well so far!

Very well thought through 👍
Ingenious!
Outstanding video. 😊
Love your channel.
I enjoyed the video very much
Ben you need to get that patented!!
I was hoping there would be something old and interesting behind that board you wrestled out of the corner!😎

Nice Video! You could build a stop so all the wood is same length or size - I see where you mentioned you could examine ea piece for nails.
Exellent, quelle ingéniosité. Je suis fan.
🥳🙏
Great channel mate
Thank you 🥳🙏
I have a budget tablesaw with a blade only to cut old beams and plank. Works ok, no dyi needed.
One of the best options out there but it still means you have to lift the piece of wood out each time to check for nails underneath and you only have one hand available for holding the wood which gets tricky if it is long and unwieldy. Also gets tricky with forked branches or really thick pieces.
That is one scary machine you put together there, my friend. For Heaven sake watch out for your fingers, hands, arms, etc. Regards from Canada 🇨🇦

bro in the uk im aware you know of the prodband provider SKY if you try get a show on the skybox you would make tens of thousands, love the work Ben
❤❤❤ great work 👏👏👏👏
Facebook ought to pay you for all the stuff you got from marketplace and the times you mentioned it =D

There was a little moment there 😅
I made something very similar albeit a lot more janky. Works very very well for cutting fire wood.
maybe it's not the chain not being tight but the fact that cutting all the time in the upper side of the spade puts force that tries to move the spade into the chainsaw (just wondering)

Ben, you’re so creative. From where and from whom did you learn your woodworking skills?
@@ben-kilner Also after a of constant use the chain gets hot and expands which makes it loose. So keep up with oiling the chain. Love the build. I have a 2 stroke saw to cut up firewood and I bought an electric one to build something like this but havent got around to it yet.

Shame to destroy those long boards. Had you considered planing them? (Brilliant trigger mechanism.)
My thought too....older growth wood is just better wood than modern short growth wood.
inspiring
next up sawdust brickettes?
ingenius!
What was that angled sheet covering in the corner? Was that an old fireplace location?
Yes 🤓
Muito bommm 👏👏👏
Enjoying your channel! But why not just use the chainsaw with a sawhorse in a normal manor? Why the contraption?
🥳👍 this setup makes it much easier to inspect the wood for nails before each cut.
When these were filmed?
Some of that pallet wood etc maybe toxic for use as firewood?
Is that another chimney for a stove in that corner?
Yes 🤓
Genius
hi Ben, danke für's Video. Ich verstehe nur nicht deine Kettensägekonstruktion, wenn du schon eine Handkreissäge hast.🤔😅 Aber gute Einfälle haste!
