Machines | Nauceder's Homemade Wood Processing Equipment
videos | at work | information | view | construction
Ed's design and manufactured automated firewood equipment. The front and rear logging arches, the wood processor, cable system where the tractor cannot go and a pole wood holder. All of which Ed designed and built from what we had available at little to no cost to us. You should watch it all the way through, (the part with the processor can be tedious).

Look for an Range Road wood processor

great ideas he has . i to have a bad back and cant bend over . fortunatly i have a tractor i lift my logs up on a saw horse to cut on . the way its set up the chunks dont drop so i can easily move the chunk to the splitter in 1 step split the wood and put in the tractor bucket no bending over

looks to bemore time consuming than productive. but I also realize the need to save yourself from back pain. all in all I like it.
-
I cut my own fire wood too and am always looking for ideas to save time and the back. My log carrier is a bit like yours but you have some ideas i like and will try to incorporate into mine. People who criticize should have to cut enough wood to last all winter!!!!!!!!

Liked the video. When working alone with limitations on the physical side some thought is required for a more harmonious conclusion. You did a grand job.
-
are you donating those logs to the Girl Scouts
-
Awesum job well done....

STUPIDIST THING I EVER WATCHED! EVEN WITH A BEER IN ONE HAND & BLIND-FOLDED I COULD CUT FASTER USING MY PINKY
-
i like the processor did you ever make your wood splitter with that piston

Really clever that Ed! Love the "through the woods" zip line. Will keep that in mind when I get around to harvesting out of my woods. Also like the "log lifter". I've not cut much but what I did cut I put on a support I made with old 2x4s but it was still too low and since it was supporting the wood in the middle, I had to make sure to alternately cut from each end so it wouldn't tip off. Ed's lifter is WAY better!!! All he needs now is a mechanized carrier for the cut wood!
I saw a writeup on a tractor forum he might be interested in. This guy welded stackable bins (don't recall the size) that he could move with the pallet forks on his tractor. He touched the split wood exactly TWICE to get it into his stove. Once to put it in the bin and once to put it in the stove. He built some sort of "annex" on the house big enough for one bin with an access door inside the house. -
when Metallica was good..Nice Job Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just stumbled across this. I'm going to get my dad, he never even mentioned this. Tell uncle Ed I'm impressed!
-
Nice job
-
If you would, watch the video to the end to see ALL of the set up he has made for processing our wood.

Ed you are an inspiration, I really enjoyed your video. Showing the world that people with disabilities can, and will continue to get on with their lives. If you can't use conventional methods Adapt, Improvise and Overcome. I would really like to see the finer working details of your cutting bench. Keep up the good work

Looks nice, but rolling the log up there is not worth of it. Log would be much faster cut on the ground with chainsaw. But I understand need to just develop something useful even it is not always so useful ;)
-
Brains rather than brawn, an amazing concept. I would have given you TWO gold stars if you would have shown the bicycle/chainsaw mechanism. Looks neat but its hidden behind the log
-
Real nice setup. Thanks for sharing.

In response to kavanagh1572, in our experience and any others we have spoke to about this equipment, have agreed that this way of processing the wood is MUCH easier with a lot less lifting and bending compared to manually running a chainsaw. But thank you for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate all comments.

Thanks for the video ..... very inventive solutions !!!
