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.
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 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!
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 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
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.
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.
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)
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.
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. 👍🏼👌🏻
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 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.
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...
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.🤕
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.
Love that new machine. I bought a dry machine with a (ugh) 30 amp Hyper. I could cut 1/2" AR500 but it was tough. With luck the software keeps track for you otherwise keep a book on each thickness to make best cuts.
if you put a4 or 6" cradle at the bottom of the stop plate it would keep the log from tipping. love the channel glad to see your boys working with you.
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.
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
Add a small shelf under the circular plate to bear the weight of the log when it’s short. It will stop the log pitching down and let you get that last long buck. 🏴
Great video 👍 If steel plate is so expensive would buying a old piece of equipment at the right price and cutting it up be a economic way to store and use for the odd bit a fabrication 😊 Who's supervising Kevin?.
For visibility, a backup camera setup with magnets for easy use. Captain Kleeman has a great setup. Maybe the saw company could offer a like system as an option. Great videos.
I have a couple of suggestions… for the shorter lengths, rather than a chain, use a bar that pivots from the top brace that is short enough to miss the 3/4” round plate as it moves up. Extend the top of the bar up about 8 - 10” to use it as a positioning indicator for the short logs. Also, maybe a 2” square tube as a log support so the logs don’t “droop” when overextended. Just make it short enough so the saw doesn’t hit when cutting. Cool modifications. 🙂
A person could hang the chain from a short piece of square tubing that rotates in the middle so when the log touches the chain the movement of the square tubing would work like an arrow indicator. This way you could see an arrow pointing to 23" cut mark and not guess if the chain touches the end. Supervisor Kevin should have the blueprints and paint.
All I want to say is if nobody has told you you have done a fine job you all
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.
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, those welds are cleeeeean! Beautiful job man🔥

Grandpa is still involved. ½ of C & C
My dad has not been involved for over 15 years

Clinton you and your crew can do anything! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Wow that tucker is an artist! Them some amazing welds!
Fun project fellas!

That was a real cutup job you guys did. Good Work.
Tucker is always tired and not a happy chappie.
Those are some beautiful wells there Tucker.

I watched Captain kleeman do the same thing with his with a camera if you know that TH-cam channel

Great suggestion! Add a bolt on plate over the teeth. No need to remove the teeth.
That's a hell of a machine to make tooth picks! Great video! Stay safe! Thumbs up! Jim

Your coaching on your boys is stellar!
Glade to see your boys at work , Dad love thems .
very good video, really enjoy watching them, Tucker finally cheered up about the end of the video, lol. keep up the great work.
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. 👍🏼👌🏻
Welding the stop plate. Would of been a good piece for stick welding practice 😄
Nice job welding tucker👍
Great welds Tucker. That is one slick log cutting machine.
Morning coffees on guys! Here we go!! Cheers!;-)! Beauty Welds!!;-)!!
IR&D shop!! Love it, this is where you learn and things get done.💪👍🇺🇸
I enjoy all the things you guys do. Just keep'em coming
Nice to see the varity!
I love seeing the young fellas welding 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Good life skill 👍🏻
Nice welding tucker 👌 👍
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 !!
Tucker can lay a beautiful bead. He has a skill he can use anywhere.
Good work ethics should be taught to your kids when they are young. Good job Dad
Another great vid. You and boys do some great work
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.
Good job . Really enjoy watching you all work. Dad is teaching correct.
Very nice welding
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.
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…
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...
A great watch that is impressive 👍👋🇨🇦

@Text-2628 🤣
Clever adaption to make it right for the customer. Making my brain work.
Oh wood you look at that! Just look at it! 😁😎🤟
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😊
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
Glad that i logged in today
Thanks for sharing
Thanks
Put a little shelf on the stop to support the end of the log
Good job.
Thanks for the video
Blind spot put a marker on beam that moves the log on the left side of it if you are sat in it 😊
Nice I have a classic CL5036 Central boiler and the longer wood is awesome! Great looking unit!
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.
Every family should have an Eeyore, keeps things in perfect balance.
One great thing about cutting white oak, it smells like whiskey 🥃
Another great video!
Love that new machine. I bought a dry machine with a (ugh) 30 amp Hyper. I could cut 1/2" AR500 but it was tough. With luck the software keeps track for you otherwise keep a book on each thickness to make best cuts.
That setup is quite the beast! Looks like the next installment of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.😱
if you put a4 or 6" cradle at the bottom of the stop plate it would keep the log from tipping. love the channel glad to see your boys working with you.
Got runs like his supervisor how sweet, Great video bro. Safe travels guys. Ken.
Supervisor Kevin. 😂🤣😂 Nice that you carry out meetings like I used too, when a person wasn't around they got volunteered. 👍🤗
Going morning Clint and guys from Mississippi.
nice modification, very nice welding, thanks for the video
very interesting fab vid - thanks
Looks great..! Nice custom modification.
Thank you gentlemen.
great ingenuity i did not realize that you were an engineer on top of being a great mechanic and teacher 👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome video
Saw refinement! 👍
Love this type video! Keep’em comin, boys! Thanks for sharing!!
Certainly wasnt ready to wake up to this this morning Clint! interesting change of video topic and yeah!! loved it
FRist like.. Move guys
I watch all your shows they are all good I’m from fergus ontario Canada

Tucker needs to show a little more enthusiasm. If he was like that in my factory he would not make the end of the trial period.
Great job on the mods great video Clint and the guys
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
Good video team
You want it Well make it or fix it. Good job boys. As usual ❤️🙏👍🌹💯
Tucker is a nice welder. Grumpy as shit, but hell they move out...
A bit of a lip on the bottom of the circle to hold up the log may do it!!!😊
mag drills are serious pieces!
living vicariously
Add a small shelf under the circular plate to bear the weight of the log when it’s short. It will stop the log pitching down and let you get that last long buck. 🏴
Or a litle spike in the midle of the round plate
@@vlearmoes7012 that might stop the buck falling away when cut.
Use your hyd for the wedge to make a arm that raises up to hold the last piece then retracts so the piece will fall out.
Great video 👍 If steel plate is so expensive would buying a old piece of equipment at the right price and cutting it up be a economic way to store and use for the odd bit a fabrication 😊 Who's supervising Kevin?.
Glad to see the new " supervisor" gettin' credit where it ain't due !!!( I'm joking of course !...) Great sow y'all !!...
dang that gehl is THICC ! thats a wide skidsteer! lol
Cool project good job guys!!!
If Tucker had built it "operator" proof, it would weigh more than the machine it is attached to. The custom stuff is always interesting to me.
Great video Clint I sent some parts customers your way
Save the sawdust for oil cleanup.
For visibility, a backup camera setup with magnets for easy use. Captain Kleeman has a great setup. Maybe the saw company could offer a like system as an option. Great videos.
that is some nice welding
