The old Homelite sounds great. Like that sound. For sure I'd want a trough and an elevator to pick up those cut-offs so another bend-down isn't necessary. Good fabrication job. Thanks for posting.
Hi Gary - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. A neat arrangement, in my view it's better able to cope with larger logs than the designs that use the top of the bar to cut and it's also safer. A simple idea to prevent a lightly tighened bolt from vibrating loose is to weld a piece of rebar to the side of the bolt head and nut so gravity prevents them from rewinding. I tried that in a comparable situation and it has worked flawlessly for years, with the added benefit that tools are not required.
I own hundreds of thousands of dollars of tree cutting machinery but I like the simple effective and efficient gear like this the best! I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for posting.
Gary, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant and very self reliant making wood processing with what you have lying around. inexpensive to build, Thanks for sharing. I would really like to see you make a home two way splitter. Great instruction and description too. Keep up the great work form Fayetteville Ga.
I consider myself as a pretty good judge of what works good for cutting up firewood, of coarse when you spend a ton of $$$$, on a firewood processor, that equipment will work good, but for dollar for dollar, IMO, I think you have the best way that I've seen a chainsaw used for stand on your feet firewood cutting, thanks for sharing........
Nice setup. Bringing wood in to the log-yard in the largest sizes you are able to handle always has mad sense to me. I make extensive use of my front-end loader for both wood gathering and handling off-the-splitter, finished cordwood. Old fat guys don't like to bend over too much!
Nice Job! I just want to add for those like me who would find it difficult to bend an angle iron for spacing around the front of the cutting bar, you can use a few washers for spacing.
Yes. This is great... I may well set up something like this myself, and in Gary's capable hands he will probably do fine, but for some people it would be better to keep both hands on the saw...
A brilliant simple and effective solution. Exactly what I need. The challenge is finding the bolt and nut with set screw. It allows you to remove the chain saw to refill gas and oil. I have looked everywhere but cannot find it. Did you machine the bolt and nut or did you buy it? If you bought it, I would love to know where. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Northern Dreamer - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. No problem, just follow my suggestion posted for Gary. Alternatively, drill say a 3mm hole at the tip of the bolt, screw in your nut then put a washer on and retain it with an R clip through the 3mm hole. Easy peasy!
It can be made even easier. I have a smallish wagon I pull behind my 4 wheeler. If you park it at the end where the first of the logs were cut, they will fall into the wagon. Less bending over to pick up that way. Call me lazy :-)
You might be able to market this as a way to decrease vibration exposure for the user? It would enable the saw to have a much more loosely attached/spring insulated handle than usual. I'm sure automation already exists though, still cool!
this is interesting as a chop saw, but a far faster way we use on our farm is this ; mount t iron posts in the ground in a cutting area, o o o o o o o o o o o o stack poles length wise in the small channel, high as you wish. the channel shouldnt be deeper that your chainsaw bar. space posts approx 16 inches appart, take your saw and work your way from one end and slice it up. we keep down to 3 inch logs, and ived processed up to 60 at once using this rack. when your using a 72 cc, its easy as fuck. and, its temporary. you can take the metal posts out whenever you like. just make sure that they are a 1/4 to a 1/3 of the overall length into the ground.
kenneth adams would definitely be more economical and since this is a stationary unit that's what I would do to I converted my log splitter to Electric a lot cheaper and quieter to operate
Gary please pull your videos from you tube, you are funding the very people who will crush your right to free speech I look forward to learning from you on the D O W website. I am unsubscribing untill you start publishing on a different platform Good By!

Yep, thats pretty slick! Though I'm more impressed with an old Homelite that starts with one pull and then keeps running.

Good Ole American engineering....Great Job Gary!
Old school engineering, at that. Practical and efficient vs. pretty.
This video proves that you don't require the latest kit or ANY health and bloody safety to get things done efficiently. Top marks sir.
Hi from France. Best idea I saw on youtube, I 'm going to do the same thing. Thanks to share this good idea 😊
Absolutely Smart work great job Gary

simple yet effective nice posting GaryThanks!
Perfect! Love it.
I built one years ago very similar to do slabs and small wood. It was indeed a time saver.
Simple and efficient. Clever idea.
love it gary-im going to build one that i can back my gator under.. thanks
Why the sound of old homelite engine really does bring back childhood memories of my dad
Very nice 👌!!!!
Pretty slick,..nothing wrong with this at all. Good job Gary.
Necessity is the mother of inventions! Excellent idea!
Well done Gary its great to watch inteligent people at work many thanks for your video greetings from Westport Ireland

The simplicity makes that excellent, good job

Nice Job! I just want to add for those like me who would find it difficult to bend an angle iron for spacing around the front of the cutting bar, you can use a few washers for spacing.
I think washer as spacers but sure to tighten them well. try a small section of 1'" metal pipe as that may work too.
Or you could cut the angle iron, lap the two and weld them to get your offset. Skinning cats and all...
i love that set up simple and i have 2 old 330's i want to get running again
Wow! so simple but very functional thanks dude
That is really slick!
OHHHHHHH that's is genius I very very like this design to chop wood. cool man and thank you very much
simple, ingenious, cheap, effective. Wise man using gravity instead of fighting it!
Awesome job. Seems like if you put just one roller on the far side you'll save yourself having to apply heavy pressure to the log with your left arm.
Great idea Gary! I like these types of videos. you got yourself another subscriber. keep the videos coming I'll be watching👍
love the simplicity fair play 👍👍👍
Sometimes is always the basic singer is best… what a cracking idea
Awesome!
really well done !!
Приспособление простое, но надежное. Молодец!
very smart! love it! simple and effective
Para mí parecer este es el mejor cortador de leña, desde Chile genial gracias.
oh thank you for sharing this wonderfully ingenius contraption
Compliment.from Italy..
Yes. This is great... I may well set up something like this myself, and in Gary's capable hands he will probably do fine, but for some people it would be better to keep both hands on the saw...

That's pretty damn and genius
I've got an old homelite its a good ol saw I've had it for 20 years at least take care of em and they will take care of you
very well thought out...nice one
It can be made even easier. I have a smallish wagon I pull behind my 4 wheeler. If you park it at the end where the first of the logs were cut, they will fall into the wagon. Less bending over to pick up that way. Call me lazy :-)
I would use the word smart.
Pretty cool

So Gary, how do you fill the bar and chain oil if the chainsaw is stationary?
Andy Cox it’s only good for one tank einstein
excellent engineering man...thanks for sharing :)
Awesome! I may build something like this for electric chainsaw, then I would wish for small diameter branches instead of dreading them
Ingenious!!
Brilliant!
Excellent, I am getting to old to bend down and cut the scraps on the ground
Génial comme système
That's awesome! You should put a Patent on that and make some cash off of it
tarp on the ground to catch the chippings , I have a few wheelie bins full
What do you do with wood chips?
this is interesting as a chop saw, but a far faster way we use on our farm is this ; mount t iron posts in the ground in a cutting area,

This is good too but harder to collect cut logs. I would tend to use wooden posts as I don't cut straight.
Fucking God bless the USA and shit..
Very nice....
Very nice work
Super
Good idea
Briliiant!
Quathy ath white peeple killin trees!
Not to bad.
👍
clever idea
it is nice.
that's awesome
I Love It

awsome
get a electric saw
