I don't know how anyone could not like this video. It takes hours of research and ingenuity to develop prototype machines. Great job, I love it!

This is awsome! Whats better than seeing someone with a big budget buy something like this? This one was built with what you had. Great job!

Extremely nice project. Has all the features those industrial models have but on a backyard budget. you really put a lot thought into this. Really nice work.

This is the cleanest build I have ever seen. It works awesome. Great craftsmanship.

bro I don't care how seemingly senseless any of this seems, I don't think it can be called silly...pure GENIUS. It's only after people see it do they go..."oh I could have built that", in reality it takes a very creative thinker to put all this into motion.

wow! from doing my own projects, I know that you must have a lot of hours into this thing even though it is relatively simple. its awesome.

After 9 years, still making waves mate!

Fine Engineering! Well Done! It sure beats wood splitting with a axe!

Nice job! Using what's available, build it cheap, make what you want to do a job! My philosophy also. Impressive.

This is so cool... If you never went to a engineering school then your like a born engineering genius.

Saw chain is loose, that's probably why it's hopping. Excellent build with less than stellar parts and you still made it a 10/10!

Obviously a kindred spirit. 😄. I always say figuring out how to do it is more than half the fun. I would suggest you pile the split wood directly into your pallet wood boxes then you don’t have to repile it again. So far I’ve got about a dozen cords lined up at the back of the yard that way. When I need wood I just move two boxes into the carport by the door.

Thanks for the bedliner idea its just brilliant. I've added it to my processor and it works great. Keep on building man.

Well, I'll tell you what buddy, it might be a bit rough around the edges but it sure gets the job done and put a smile on my face! Well done :-)

Well done! - great inventiveness and fabrication - I liked the foot switch for the splitter.

Great Job, Very nice, Everybody has an opinion how to do things better, but instead of being a critic I just say Great Job.

Love it. Thanks for all the close ups and descriptions. I will be using some of these ideas when I build one. Keep em coming.

Holy crap! I haven't looked at my account for a while. Lots of great comments, thanks everyone! Yeah I will sharpen my chain.... kinda over looked that. Funny because I always sharpen my other chainsaws before use... caught up in the moment I guess. What kind of guard do you suggest for the chainsaw? I already have the one.

Caution sticker for the win!!, I love home built stuff like this!!

Wow, Frankensteins monster of a log splitter, but I love it, great build Red

What can I say? It works like a charm. Well done REDNIC.

I've seen many home made firewood processors and your isn't bad at all. It's relatively quick and not that deadly. I don't guess you had to invest much money and that's always a big selling point for me.

I think you achieved What you what you set out to do. Don't worry about anyone's negative opinions. We do the best we can with the moterel available us. Awesome job im going to use some of your ideas. And i appreciate you sharing this with us. Thank you. And great job.

Man I would not put your machine down at all.I think your very smart.I could not build that.And you said your chainsaw jumped around and stuff didn't look like that to me it fell through that wood like a hot knife through butter to be an electric chainsaw.And I got to give you credit for using an electric log splitter.Sure you machine could be improved to run on all electric or all gasoline but I give you 5 stars for making it with what you have thats the way i would do it...

Wonderful Version 1 prototype , ideas a plenty in this design

nice Job man definitely in top 10 home built splitter

Not perfect, but what is. Damn good job.

What an excellent build from just stuff easily found. I just love this. What a little time and thinking can make this happen. Anyone not impressed by the simplicity of this is just stupid or vain. Keep inventing and stay safe.

This put a smile on my face several times - just awesomeness !! Thanks for sharing your creation

I like that,, the electric saw cut pretty good. I think with a good sharpening it would be faster and smoother. Really nice job, keep it simple.

Holy Macgyver! I love youtube. That is awesome kit.

3:07 hahaha nice set up man!

i thought you said the electric chainsaw was crap. Im impressed with it much better than i would have imagined. cool set up.

Best warning sign ever on the machine

Top marks to you,best wishes from Ireland.

very clever, unless you have worked around mechanics that have built something out of nothing, People really don't realize how much smarts it takes. nice machine.

This is awesome! You had a ton of great ideas! Thanks for the video

Runs better than my BELLS 8000 firewood Processor ever did

HELL OF A GOOD JOB !!

Man I like it. Sure it's not the Industrial model but it saves literally tons of back pain and picking up work. I have several of these old truck liners that have not had the heart to toss out. Now I know where to use the material. I'd need to build some what heavier being that we get a fair amount of oak, ash , hickory n the like. Already have a hydraulic horizontal, vertical splitter. Thanks for a simple made idea on how we also could build one. Also a good friend found and gave me a couple old 8" wide flat belts and have been wanting to build a conveyor that could be put at the offload of the splitter.

Good job, thanks for sharing!

That is awesome, very impressive. Well done.

many hour to do your wood processor. nice works at low cost!!! tumbs up

Nice little unit super cool.

Great job dude... Very very innovative thinking

love it man, great work

awesome build!

Come on guys. The basics are all here! This is the type of stuff I love to see. There are so many video's on here of huge monolithic machines that cut and split slower than this one simply because people threw more money at it than common sense. He has some great R&D into this, with very little invested. He can now seek out the weakest link and make adjustments from there. First off would be the splitter in my opinion. It's the slowest part but it works without hiccup. The chainsaw can definitely use tightening on the chain, you can clearly see it flopping around. this may be due to the nuts loosening up due to vibration and the square stock not being machine smooth (No big!) Some lock washers should fix this. The chain went through the wood pretty well, it just hung up a bit and I noticed the weight of the winch alone wasn't enough to stop the log from moving and binding the saw. Fixed saw and moving log = pinch.. Or how can I explain that better. I hope you got the idea. If you put a lever on the winch arm you can put pressure on it while dropping the chainsaw and it would solve most of your hangup issue. Bigger saw, faster splitter and you're on your way to processing much much faster. I'm not knocking your setup. If you're happy with it and it does everything you want it to (proof is under those tarps which looked to be more wood than the camera was showing) then it ain't broke--so don't fix it. I'm contemplating smashing my head on the keyboard with the ingenious idea of using bed liner. I'll have to keep an eye out at the scrap yard for one. It's slick, more than durable *facepalm* Props man, good stuff here.

not bad for your first time!! assuming that it's your first one. I couldn't design build it and I'm sure most can't either. great job

AWESOME!!!! You should be proud of what you've made mate!! This is some top shit. Anyone who thinks otherwise should show us their home made wood processor that they've made from scratch with whatever they could find. Job well done mate from Australia.

thanks man, I found you because I was looking for a solution to cut my 8 cord of wood with my chainsaw. This will save me hours!! I'll be making a build video on this for sure :)

Thats awesome bro ! Really cool

awesome engineering feat, bro - nicely done!

Very clever RedNic. Several comments; I am not crazy about the idea of the chainsaw cutting towards you. A guard for that would ease my concern for you or any other operator. Glad to see the kill switch and the guard over the winch. Can I suggest you make an adjustable log stopper to control the length of the log prior to cutting so that correctly sized logs then roll down to the splitter. Full points for ingenuity and the 3 R's; Reduce, Reuse [or Re-purpose in this case] and Recycle.

Awesome inventor equitment thanks for sharing

The safety stickers are fucking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

You've got some skills.

Red Green show......NICE!

Good job mine. Simple but effective

nicely done!

If you sharpen that chain it would cut alot better, just some advice. Looks great though, im going all hydraulic with mine.

it is pretty cool.. I'm always thinking of what happened if I not home and my wife should have doing that by herself.. so this will help any one without the muscles.. so I recommend you placing a chain in the winch with the same dragging system at the start of the ride so it will automatically drag wood from the truck with the same winch.. so you don't have to lift it up from truck to your firewood cutting machine. I hope I made myself understand.

Nice build, just run a bigger lobe to slow the saw down. Definitely borrowing the winch idea.

Heath Robinson would be impressed.

Awesome ingenuity!!!

So there is a good use for those electric chain saws after all! :) Good idea, might use that. One observation is, you're fiddling with the wood too much when it rolls down to the splitter. You need to tweak that.

actually that little saw did good for what it is.

very innovative!

Awesome !

This thing is amazing! Totally MacGyver'd! Extremely curious how much weed you smoked to get this thing working!! lol....justkidding :P

its sweet good job man

Hats off to you! works well & some great ideas :-D

very nice job -- many good ideas used -- a little tweak on guides for wood lining up for splitting would be good -- as long as wood stays about same size all will be good

Nice job, just think with some shop tools and some really good metal, this processor would be pretty nice. Proto types are progress moving forward.

I like it!

Always fun watching. Right up my alley of using what you got to make useful stuff!! Keep it up. Doug Happy New Year! (Do you get new years in Canada?).

awesome!!!!

Neat rig. :)

HA that is friggen sweet!

Temple of the dog. Good stuff.

You are one sharp feller to come up with this idea. I may want to copy your ideas if thats okay.

you should get a generator to put on the back off the tractor :) i pretty sure you would get the power you need from that :) nice jobb

It’s stupid cool!

Nice re-purpose of materials and innovative thinking process. You definitely have some talent Rednic79. Thanks for sharing!

Rube Goldberg would be proud ! as should you !

very impressive

works good

Quasi professionale.

if the 12v out on the gen is connected to the battery then atleast you are charging it aswell

Well I like it, could it be refined? Well sure, but hey, it works!! Only suggestion I'd make is keep the chain SHARP and keep it well ADJUSTED, thanks for posting!!

well done

hi there pretty neat john

awesome, now make a guard for the blade!

Great vid mate, thanks for sharing. Nice bit of ingenuity even if the whole build wasn't strictly your own design. I'm still impressed. A lot better than a lot of peoples videos on here thats for sure. As for the nay sayers - screw them we all know we can use a chainsaw and an axe. The fact of the matter is you built your own processing rig and had the nads to post the video up on here. Good man. Have a great Xmas, best wishes from England.

good machine

Very nice setup but like all of them it's slow me and a friend of mine can cut split and load two truck loads in less than 30 minutes or less and that's all white oak but you did a very nice job maybe when I get older I will build one just like it but I enjoy splitting it by hand for now

great setup, only thing that would make it better is a kinetic splitter. hydraulic is just way too slow.

very very Nice.............just my Cup og Tea 😂😂😂😂 !!!!!!

With your skill's and ability to make this unit, You should take a old 2stroke saw and stick a hydraulic motor in it and replace the winch with a hydraulic motor . Then all you need for power to run is a gas or electric hydraulic pump.

That's freakin sweet
