We process the firewood manually the same way you showed in the first part of the video(well we have a logsplitter too). My father always says: "The wood will warm you at least 3 times - once when you lay it in the wood with a chainsaw, second when you chop it and the third time finally when you burn it." and I think it is a great workout haha!
Beside the fact that you always build things like (better than ???) a pro, I love the fact that you take us with you during the design... "the way is as important as the goal itself", so thank you for sharing these moments....
You have got to be the most creative builder around! You have good common sense too and obviously good practical experience. Thank you so much for sharing the ideas. I know it must take a lot of effort to create these videos. Thanks.
see donn... this is why we love you. i literally have the same (different color) chinese made electric log splitter in my yard right now. didn't think it would take this. now will be doing it immediately!!! hell yes
It is small but really powerful splitter. We don't have Oak around here for firewood but a lot of Alder. This firewood processor will be used mainly for Alder. And I want to tow it around behind the ATV, that's why it will be sized small. I'm glad this video is an inspiration! 💪
@@DonnDIY i have a lot of oak, and the little splitter is slower than most but with these extra wedges we can make up for slow speed with more pieces per stroke. excellent. keep up the great work man. the other thing about these little ones is they fall off stuff so easily... i actually dropped mine on the concrete by accident when it slipped off the back of a pickup while splitting. cracked the aluminum piece that connects the motor to cylinder and had to cut that part off and thread flexible hydraulic lines in. i think i must need a reservoir or larger return tube now down near the motor because i can hear it cavitating sometimes. anyway thx again. sometimes people wonder why i'm cheap with stuff like this but $2000 on a new larger splitter seems like too much when i could spend the money and time on tools and fabrication experience as you have.
From a young fulla in the early 70's all the way though my years till 10 years or so back mid 2000's, I did what you are doing without thinking about log splitters as they do today. Watching your innovations to make something of your little log splitter has showen me a better way to have done just that. Good NZ native fire wood back then was so plentiful and easy to get every one that needed it just went and got it. Not like that today with the pressures of life put on other peoples lives going out to gather any good firewood is in such demand now that some now make a living out of it regardless weather they are splitting up good heating wood or not as the punter or buyer don't know good wood from bad. Good wood would normal be NZ native, but so little of that around now that people are buying pine, a far less good wood for heat but wood all the same. Watching your video I wish I'd thought to use a splitter like yours that took a whole log cut it and split it loaded it on to a truck or trailer for removal saving ones back and time to do all the things this video and I presume your next shell show. I look forward to your next, thank you!
Молодец. Всегда смотрю твои видео. Грамотно делаешь. Когда в Армии служил был у нас парень с Эстонии. Также всё аккуратно делал. Жалко что такую страну развалили, эти демократы. И сейчас стравливают народ. Нет плохой нации есть плохие люди. Успехов тебе парень незнаю как тебя зовут. 👍👍👍😊
Way to go Donn, what a great project build!! Glad to see Grandpa out there, he still has the gotta do it attitude. What a blessed family. Really picked up more ideas from your videos. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Interesting project. I do manual processing as well handle the wood many times. Up to 2 years ago I split by axe and finally got my first woodsplitter which runs off tractor hydraulics. My parents are near 70 years of age and they still split the old way and sell 50-60 cords of wood a year.
Neat project, will be a great labour saver I’m sure. Good to see you start a new video series. Hardox steel is well named, we just relined a dump truck box floor and sides with 20 & 10mm hardox plate.....gas axe to size then tidy up the cuts with the grinder for welding.
I'm impressed! Try adding a short extension on the ram, with a vertical slot cut into it, so that it can push the log *past* the vertical cutter. This way the next log will contact the vertical cutter first instead of contacting the previous log first and being pulled to one side.
Donny, I see where you are going with this, One thing that would be a huge improvement would be to add a conveyor, Then build some boxes of about 4 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet, If I recall you have a tractor with loader and could use forks on it, Once you process your wood the conveyor will dump the wood in to said box, One can make sure the conveyor has a good swing and using a set length of light weight chain you can set up a number of boxes in an arc, This way when one fills you just push the conveyor to the next one. Another thing to consider as well is a table to set logs on to either in a fix location so that someone can load a number of logs on to said table and they are ready to be processed. With this set up you will be able to process a large amount of fire wood in a very short time. With the boxes one can stack them pretty easy 2 or more high and because they are loose stacked inside each box they will dry very well even when in the elements. I look forward to seeing what you do!
Conveyor will come, pallets will come, pallet moving equipment will come. 💪😉
4 ปีที่แล้ว
THAT WAS VERY SMART OF YOU TO PUT EACH SET OF CUTTING BLADES LITTLE WAYS BACK FROM THE MAIN CUTTING BLADE TO NOT USE ALL THE POWER ALL AT ONE TIME IF THE BLADES WERE ALL TOGETHER WITH THE MAIN CUTTING WEDGE IN FRONT
This is a great 👍 little gizmo you built out bro, I love it and that you give us where we can find the build plan's OMG 😲 Thank you SERIOUSLY! Keep the content coming, this is the kind of vid that you can lose yourself for 20 or 30 minutes and not feel like you're the one who ended up on the losing end. Aces buddy, fo sho!!😉👍
I see you've been busier than a beaver! Hee, hee. Great project. Love wood burning heat. Oooohh that smell! Thanks for sharing and I'll be waiting by the fire! Cheers 👍👍
this is going to be awesome. i have always pulled fire wood out of the woods in lengths and then saw it up near the wood shed , i dont know it works for me at least until i get to old to do it
I'm thinking of Renaming your channel to " One Great Project after another !" You are just full of Massive DIY projects.... Love your channel & Love how you do what you DO !!!!
I had the 115v version of that splitter years ago (115v because Canada) it worked great for anything that wasn't hard wood, little slow for someone that grew up with a gas powered machine. Been messing with the idea of a firewood processor for my parents farm. I like the ATV size you are going for and defiantly has the gears turning in my head on building one again.
Wood we use for heating is mainly Alder. It splits really well (even when dry) and heats well. We don't really burn Oak or something of that nature. We do burn Birch which is also a great furniture material next to Oak.
We have a lot of dead maple, cherry and Oak on are farm, nothing straight enough to mill unfortunately. Still plenty of dead standing elm to clean up from the Dutch elm disease back in the woods, it splits nice and has lots of heat.
G'day Donn good to see you again that's one great trailer love how it's got the "tiper" action on it. We have a second home that is like a holiday home and we have a wood heater in that most of the wood I buy in bags, the special needs kids bag it up and it gives them money, the wood here is hard wood ( Tasmanian oak) which is a eucalyptuses gum tree burns very well. Your Grand dad is he the same age as me 63 yo. That log splitter is a must and it's good how you improved it. Stay healthy mate kind regards John
When you're finished with this log splitter, that bad boy will be able to grab'm, crack'm and stack pack'm all in one motion. AWESOME my friend! 👍👍 Jay.
OH YEAH....DONN's BUILDING AGAIN!!!!! It's gonna be good! Donn you need to build one of those exoskeleton mechanical thingies (the kind you wear) to help pick up all those logs for splitting into firewood.
Donn I made a mechanism on the side of my chainsaw that measures the length that I want. That I don't have to turn my chainsaw every time I want to measure. Great job as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Would you be able to describe what you made. Sounds like a good idea but I don't quite understand what you mean by a mechanism. Sure would like to make something like that up for myself. Thank you.
@@glennfelpel9785 I made something as well, Pretty easy to do, Go to the hardware store and buy a length of round stock about 1/4 inch or so, all thread works good too,. Then buy a hose clamp, Then take the round stock and bend about 1.5 inch 90 angle on it and attach this to the handle that is vertical, The hose clamp is placed on the handle and then the round stock in placed in it and tightened, Then measure from the bar outward for the length that you want, I cut 16 inch and made mine 15.5 inches just so that no matter what it was either 16 or a bit shorter, I also painted the end bright yellow. If you do not need it just pull it back and use the saw as normal. When using the saw you will have to cut, for my saw left to right, this way the cut end is where the stick is at just adjust the saw till its where you want it, You can also make a number of different sizes as well. Make the hose clamp snug, you do not need to over tighten, If its too loose just snug it again. This works very well and far better than any bought item!
@@glennfelpel9785 Seen few that have small plate where round bar has been welded and use studs and nuts that hold the blade in to secure it on the saw, but personally i'm not bothering to measure anymore, just make a stick to make 1 meter long for screw splitter and try do it close as possible so where trees get fell works as remote processing area, or if like now taking smaller trees and cleaning road side just eye ball them on 2 meters, load them side way on thingy, move to processing area on the yard and dump them on a pile. from there those get split and cut to proper size and loaded on pallets to dry, that then can be moved easily and work as storage as well. Anything left short go to cages after being split with small hydraulic splitter. Its making fire wood, not rocket science. Quicker and easier you make them, more wood you can process and with more wood you can let some dry longer and have stockpile, so one can get something else done during summer than just the firewood...
Nice work again. 👌💪 If I had start something like this I would to make it with auto feed at the back of the trailer and cut the log with trigger on contact automatically and the with rollers to slip on basket.. Soo the only you do is to load the wood at start and change basket at the end.. I say all this why as far I see that you are from north Europe and you use dig amounts of woods that will decrease the time of it. Soo the only you do is to cut the tree and as long is on your trailer then to go automatically with the less hours. Probably you do more than 10 to 15 tons per year.. Good luck. Looking forward for your next uploads.
Ive been waiting so long hoping youd build a firewood processor, this is a dream come true as Im planning on something similar! So far we seem to share the same thoughts on this. Cant wait to follow this project! Keep up the good work, your videos are great inspiration and learning!
@@DonnDIY know the feeling 😂 I seem to be late every year 😂 Luckily its warm and usually a little windy at the southernmost tip of Norway where I live so the wood dries up rather fast. Good luck and stay strong 💪
Have you consider big log are difficult to get so high up? My own experience is, a low splitter is easier to use when you had big logs. My logs I split was twice the size of yours logs. Very cool project, thank you for sharing your amazing journey. Be careful and safe. God bless you and your family.
have a similar splitter that doesn't have enough power to split more than an 8-inch log it to is electric have thoughts of putting a larger motor on it but it is easy to move and operate I put a 4-inch block behind the log I am splitting and it will push all the way threw the log I have just rebuilt an old gas splitter that you can pull behind your truck for the big logs on-site and then can be moved to be split at home on the smaller ones, I really liked what you did to that splitter I have planned to do something like you did just had to see it done awesome keep up the good work god bless
@@DonnDIY I think your's is better because of longer lenght of there horisontal blades. When bigger log I ajust the position of horisontal blades by rasing the cross by hand til it's stuck in log.
Yessss so glad your doing another homemade logging project! The stuff we have to buy to do with logging is sooo expensive so it's great to see some ideas that we can all achieve at home! Keep up the great content! Secretly hoping for a homemade winch sometime 😂😂
Yup, I try to put this project together from the parts I have laying around. Rusty or not. Recycled anyway. Homemade hydraulic winch would be an awesome project. 😉
I always enjoy your video they are interesting and unique!! They also give me some to do in quarantine, while also encouraging me to get out there and build something!
Dude! I love your channel! No fluff or added conversation! Just builds and keep going! Great job!!! Keep all these vids coming!!!!

🏆🥇
I"m glad to see that your electric splitter works so well. I had one and returned it. It wasn't able to split basic logs.
Definitely not for Hardwoods
Well thought design. I like the way blades are stacked or offsetted, so that only one blade is cutting at a time to reduce the force on the ram.
Not my idea - stole it on the Internet. But the idea is really great. 😀

Aye, I certainly slept at night, lost count of the flux-core reels used 😁
Thank you for the video. The world appreciates it during this time to stay at home.
I hope it serves people locked in their homes well. 💪
After seeing the size of stove, I now understand why you cut/split them down so small. Yea, firewood has always equaled a lot of hard work. Cheers :)
Hmm.. Converting junk into something useful. Always fun to watch. 👍😊
💪
Nice to see you aren't sitting by the fire with your feet up! Looking forward to seeing the rest of this build.
The rest of the build continues next week same time. 💪
I'm impressed! Try adding a short extension on the ram, with a vertical slot cut into it, so that it can push the log *past* the vertical cutter. This way the next log will contact the vertical cutter first instead of contacting the previous log first and being pulled to one side.
That's a good idea!

For weaker rams, we found we had to stagger the cutting blades as well, helped a lot!
This one works pretty great at the moment. It is slow for some people taste but it does the job for me and it was free of charge. 😁

your base splitter is the same as mine .. bought some years ago and modified to take care of splitting the gnarly logs we get in Portugal .

Moving and stacking wood that many times is crazy.
That's what I thought when I was a child. I was told to shut up and stack wood silently. 😆

Got the same 7t machine. Bought it with a stock cross splitter. Horisontal cross is made out of 20mm material.
I looked up the original crosses, 20 EUR. But I wanted it to be custom. 😀
@@DonnDIY I think your's is better because of longer lenght of there horisontal blades. When bigger log I ajust the position of horisontal blades by rasing the cross by hand til it's stuck in log.
Awsome job
Donn
I have no doubt you're going to get it working. Like how you repurpose materials. 🤔😎😎
Excellent work my friend!
Voce e um jovem muito inteligente e criativo. Parabens !!
i have never split a log in my life yet I find this fascinating
Cool!
Thanks for sharing that, well done
Thank you!
Ggreat job my friend, you inspire me to start my own channel
my sisters dollhouse had a woodstove bigger than that. I do like the license plate stove door btw nice
Yessss so glad your doing another homemade logging project! The stuff we have to buy to do with logging is sooo expensive so it's great to see some ideas that we can all achieve at home! Keep up the great content! Secretly hoping for a homemade winch sometime 😂😂
Yup, I try to put this project together from the parts I have laying around. Rusty or not. Recycled anyway. Homemade hydraulic winch would be an awesome project. 😉
Or hydraulic crane for ATV trailer
I love love this video thank you so much . So smart!!!
Круто придумал , функционально, интересно модель дровокола
Nice project...i like...Next video please🤗
Next video next week! 🤘
I always enjoy your video they are interesting and unique!! They also give me some to do in quarantine, while also encouraging me to get out there and build something!
Thanks! That's the point - to go out to the garage and build stuff! 💪
@@DonnDIY hell yeah🤙🏼. I've started a fabrication project of making tube doors for my vehicle 🤙🏼
Great project, it will probably be fully automated when you're done. 👊👊👊
Probably not. I would like to keep it simple yet effective. Let's see how that'll work out... 😆
Электродвигатель будет очень сильно нагреватся, очень хорошая задумка и прекрасная реализация!
Enjoy your efforts. Look forward to seeing more. Addicting as This Old Tony.
You build awesome stuff. Good job!!!
What a great idea !
Dude! I'm impressed! Well, necessity is the mother of invention.
