- I built this chainsaw attachment for cleaning up the huge spruce I fell back in the beginning of November. I have not been in the woods for a while but now it looks like this gadget helps me to clean up the branches in no time. It is made entirely of scrap steel. Thanks for watching!

I also burn everything bigger than a pencil, and build stuff to make life easier. You have so many good ideas that I never thought of. Some of your projects are super great the way you design and don’t cut corners. Most people would have used a bolt through a pipe instead of bearings. I love your videos. Stay safe
I made something like this to speed up the branch clean up from a big maple two years ago. Wish I had a trailer like yours to drop the cut offs into instead of having to pick up off the ground. Enjoy watching your vids. Keep them coming please.
❤there are a lot off energi in branches first time i noticed Donn DIY was left-handed 👍😉
Oh my god you're genius bro awesome creativity, i would like to make this chainsaw attachment it would be more helpful for my pappa !! but unfortunately i don't have machineries&tools like lathe,welding machines and so on.however i have stihl ms 250 chainsaw 😁.my father is a timber man,when get free time(after college time) i used to go for help my father in his working site. Now im graduated and free.feeling happy to see this video and thank you for sharing creative&very useful technique.... 🙏
I've never seen anyone turn such a box of unspecified scrap iron in such a beautiful piece of "STIHL" ! Nice work Don, I'm also enjoying your other Big project. (the tracked one)
Really nice...
-Is the locking wing nut not long ? you didn't poke in it with your waist ?
-Do you think a rail on the trailer's length,or just an other pole in the middle of the trailer could be beneficial,to avoid to move the log,once cut ?
You could adjust the chainsaw's position along the trailer, to cut the log and let if fall in the trailer in one motion,for each stack ?
Nope, didn't poke into the locking bolt with my waist.
I can attach this cutter to the center post so I could fill the front of the trailer first without moving the pieces by hand. I just wanted to keep this design simple and easily portable. I still have to move the pieces by hand no matter what since they tend to pile up just underneath the saw.
Nice! Maybe you can make a pedal for chainsaw controlling. When you step on the pedal you rev up the engine and when you tilt the pedal then the saw will cut. So you can use both hands. Pedal is on the ground, connected with car brake cables so you are able to move around. Or it will do both at the same time when you step on it. Then only one cable needed.
I had the same idea, make a footcontrol, so your arms are free! 👍
Dang that’s a brilliant idea! Having both hands on the limb would make things quicker/safer.
Yup, that thought crossed my mind, but... I didn't want to attach the chainsaw permanently to this contraption since connecting the throttle lock release and throttle trigger itself would've required more intricate engineering if I still wanted the saw to be quickly releasable and I do have to refill the fuel and oil tanks from time to time or use the chainsaw in the regular way too. So I went with the light version of it. :D
@@DonnDIY Throttle trigger and lock mechanism can be done fast removable to. Like with flynut or something. Just thinking :D
Kurat ,normaalne kaasmaalane mul ,mehel käed õige kohapealt välja kasvanud :D Respekt!

Just found your channel after searching for building a sauna. Wow! Great stuff! I can’t stop watching. I’m a Donn DIY addict, now.
Cheers! I'm glad you like the channel and the videos. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for future videos! ;)
Foot Lever required. Very Nice
Молодец! Руки растут из правильного места. )
Sposibo!
Tow hands make a marvelous job, but don't forget the genius brain control them
Good job
Thanks!
@@DonnDIY
It came to my mind that with this chainsaw accessory, if you adjust the hand in a way you can control it while you hold the branches of wood
Or if you can control it with foot
Thats slicker then slick 50..nice videos man i really like that homemade sawmill u made..huge thumbs up
Put that holder on a rail so you first fill up the front of the box and then work your way to the rear. Save throwing cut pieces up to the front to fill the box.
Hello,
I m french
my name' is Grizzly..
I am dont speak English...
But you are the very king of Diy
very very good your video.
thank you
Thank you and thanks for watching! ;)
Good idea. Keeps the bar out of the dirt. Plus you are standing, LOL.
Yeah, I'm lazy that way. :D
Not lazy by any means, you used your brains and skills to make a job easier to do and better for your back.
You did a good job building that my back didnt hurt watching this video. Also less chance getting you chain in the dirt and actually it would make less wasted cuts from branches I know I pass up alot of branches but if the cut a waist height might not pass them up now
P
Great engineering and build skills. Working smarter, not harder.
As you used it , you got faster and faster. Good tools always makes life a little easier.
Yup, had to learn to use it and get familiar with it. :D
Nice design and build!
If you can, try a battery-powered chainsaw instead of gas. That's what I use now for all limbing and smaller work; its quiet and doesn't waste fuel and bar oil when I prep a limb or move stuff around.
Regards.
Yup, battery powered saw would be better for this application.
Nice job as always, you could make it foot activated so all you have to worry about is holding the logs in place, just a thought but once again great job
Work smarter not harder! 👍🏼
Hey Donn, and another fine engineering job is well done. Pretty Good thinking and doing. Fine work. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas from US
Merry Christmas from Estonia! ;)
One ingenious way of emptying the scrap tray! You should patent this contraption.
Too late already showed it to the market, but atleast no one else can 😉
Yup, these are, by the way, the leftovers from the sawmill build. Have to think of more micro projects where I can use the small scale scrap steel.
Works great Donn. Well done. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers!
If it were me I would also make an end stop that clamps over the wooden side of the trailer, and so you can move it along to set a end stop so all the logs are pretty much the same lengths without thinking, although I can see that you did a very good job of cutting them all the same anyway. And as other suggested a foot pedal would also be a cool addition to make it easier to control.
I marked a line on the edge of the wooden dump box. So I roughly lined it up with the line and got 50 cm pieces. I thought about a limiter but the branches are so curved that the end stop plate would have to be with a huge surface area to catch the end of most of the branches.
@@DonnDIY Ok, that basically achieved the same then. I would have just made a small limiter plate, and even when the branches don't touch it you have something to line them up with, but that pencil mark is an easier way to do the same thing. Good work.
Vintage DonnDiy, absolutely love it!
Kept the chain out of the dirt for sure.
Nice job but I always found it more labor intensive to haul the wood to the saw, rather than the saw to the wood.
Yep but on the plus side your not cutting in to the ground an having to bend to fiddle about picking them up
Great little piece of equipment you got to do what you got to get wood burn whatever you can get. 👍👍🇨🇦
Another good piece of design and engineering , simple and effective , a one shot deal for firewood , saves hauling it back then having to cut it at home , excellent job . Keep up the good work . When are you going to do the small excavator your father gave you , will be looking forward to see the resto on that .
WOW... Nice Idea and Build... This way almost eliminated bending over... You only have to bend over one time to pickup the limb...
Hi there
You do good stuff
Now make a wood chipper
Have a good day
👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸😁
Brilliant. Now you need to make something to hold and feed the wood lol .
DON, BRILLIANT IDEA...LOVE YOUR WORK-SHOP IN THE CATACOMBS..... EAGLE-SAN IN COLORADO
As of now the workshop is updated. There's no dungeon anymore. 😉😀
Pretty neat ...Great way to get fast firewood
:)
Great idea- could you move the mount toward the front of the trailer eliminated the need to move the wood forward?
Yes.
Enjoyed the video ... something about it made me want to watch an Iron Man video ... stay warm my friend ... all the best from central Arkansas.
Thank you very much. Warmth is needed. Which Iron Man video you have in mind?
@@DonnDIY The second one ... all the best! I did like the first one.
@@DonnDIY The first
Ну во тоже валежник собирают, а то валежник валежник
Fantastic piece of imagination and incredible building skills. Will You make me one for my Husqvarna?
You are a very clever man, great idea indeed.
Nice gadget to make firewood, your drillpress ticking is so hypnotic...
I feel the same about the drill press. I don't even notice it if I'm honest. It's maybe because I'm hypnotized by it. :D
Nice design and setup
If I do my wood like that, I will freeze till winter.😀nice work btw
That is a very handy accessory and saves the back work :-)
That’s a great design. Just wondering if you were left handed. I Guess it could be designed to mount to the other side of the trailer and the log cradle mounted so to use your right hand for the trigger pull. Thanks for the video. That’s also a nice looking trailer.
Great idea and more secure to operate this way. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family
Nice! Time for a sauna after that!
Love the video as always. Keep up the awesome content !!!!
It is a nice design I still think I'd be faster bucking it freehand but if you can get the lumber straight enough and extend your table that holds it I can see it going a lot faster
Great job in general. Of course after seeing it in action. I wondered why not just pivot the saw on a single extended nut like you machined? Cut the flats into a shaft and internally thread. Done
Using both of the nuts was required for the limiter setup. I didn't want to use parts of the saw to rub against anything when limiting the movement of the chain bar.
Great little attachment. 👍
We don't exactly use chain saw cutoff jigs in Phoenix. But I enjoy watching how you achieve mountings for your parts. I'll surely be inspired by your designs when I build my cactus straightener.
Nice work indeed. And thanks for no music. Thanks - Lumpy
I run videos mostly muted because music is too loud and I miss the voice because of that.
Finally mr pretty Good is back! Nice sawstand i gone build one too my self to morrow!
Have a great build!
Bravo Man ! Good Job 👍👉🍺
great idea, well made👍🎄🎄🎄🎄
Thank you very much!
Un petit rien mais un très grand esprit chapeau l'artiste 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wonderful job!
Thank you very much!
way cool design Don very creative !
Amesome tool you made. Really enjoyed the build and seeing how it worked.
Μπράβο φίλε μου δυνατός Ελλάδα Φλώρινα Δυτική Μακεδονία 🇬🇷👍
You need to put a stop on the bed so that it's easier to get the logs the same length, even if it's just a "C-clamp" clamped to the edge of the bef.
I have a line marked on the edge of the dump box which shows me the desired length of a cut.
Veramente un bel lavoro. Bravo. 😉
Nice job Donn. I was a little concerned about how close you got to the chainsaw bar. Is it possible to make a bar shield that will protect you from contact with the bar and yet stay out of the way when you cut the logs?
Also do you dry your logs before burning to increase your heat return per log when burnt?
The chain has stopped when I reach over to handle the pieces. No need for a guard if I personally use it. If I'd let someone else use it now that would be a different story. Yes, I do dry the branches before heating the house with'em.
Beyond brilliant!!!!!
*Nice Setup!*
_Should Speed up the Firewood Cutting by at least 50%_
Валежник пилит класс но не унас
Beats chasing those little sticks all over the ground.
It does, it is a bit slow but more comfortable than looking for the cut pieces in the snow.
Pretty cool!
Nice! I am going to copy it!
Cool, have a go at it!
I love your videos dude!
Cheers man, thanks for watching!
ASTUCIEUX EFFICACE TRES BONNE INVENTION GEO TROUVE-TOUT!!!!
Looks like it worked pretty good. Good job on that
I would like to come hang out with you because you remind me of my brother and my father and me my brother and father gone now we did same thing you do use what you got and common sense and make it work keep up great work
Pretty good!!
Thanks for showing & sharing that
Thanks for watching!
Hello sir,
I discovered your video which impresses me a lot and I am very admiring in front of this functional and practical result.
Could you please give me information about the "diameter" of the pivot supporting the chainsaw and if it doesn't bother too much, the characteristics of the bearings. How long is your blade guide?
Can I count on an answer that would help me a lot.
Good continuation, excellent day with my cordial greetings. P. K. (French)
Very nice you should make them for sale
I think it needs some sort of a foot pedal for operations so that both hand are free to work the branches
Very nice, well done
Nice idea 😍😍😍
Very clever idea :)
Гарно придумав!Лайк.
Very nice! Us righties would mount it on the other side of the trailer. ;) Patten pending?
I am right handed by the way. The location of the chain bar attaching nuts determined the setup of the cutter. :D But my right hand has more power anyway for holding down the branches. So all is well. :D Nope, no patent. Everyone should feel free to copy this design but not this video. :D
Nice job
Nice
Great idea thumbs up
You have great potential.
Отличная идея!
Brilliant!!!
참신한 아이디어 인데 노력해서 만든거에 비하면 별로 효율이 높지가 않으것 같군요.
그정도에 나무면 그냥 그자리에서 토막내서 가져오는 것이 더 효율적이지 않을까 생각 합니다. Good job. 🌴🌵🌿☘🍀🍁
As long as your face doesn't go down when the blade comes up, You should stay alive and handsome.(-:
you just mad a old buzz saw cool
To me some of your smaller wood isn't worth saving because it makes too much feeding. It's a good idea.
Awesome!!!!
Thanks for watching!
NICE!
;)
Pretty slick idea.
Does the saw get to heavy for you?
Nice😁
Cool...Get your brother to feed the logs to you on the saw...Faster
wieder ein super Video. Was ist eigentlich dein Beruf mit all diesen vielen Fähigkeiten? Landwirt? Gruss Markus
Danke. Ich bin Holzverarbeitungstechnologe. ;)
Danke für die Antwort und noch schöne Weihnachten wünsch ich Dir.
Very cool! Are you taking orders yet??? I would definitely like to one or two.
Тот ещё геммор!!!
