    That fridge shelving works great for the small stuff. You could have linked the chain link section to the other section and increased the pitch with a smaller middle section. Great concept for a system though!

    I think you came up with a great start for an efficient screening system. I'm no expert, in fact I'm watching this to learn from you so take my thoughts about it with a grain of salt. First thing is I think a steeper angle would help remedy the larger rocks piling up. Second thing is if the chain link didn't behave like a metal fishing net it would be close to perfect. Maybe if you had a way to make the center of the fence bulge upwards with a pole or post pushing upward. Think of the rocks as water. Right now the screen is acting like a bowl but it would be beneficial to act like an umbrella. That would probably be worth a try for simplicity's sake as opposed to a major redesign. Either way thanks for the video and the inspiration to try it myself in the future.

    A couple of ideas that might make your bundling easier; Add a board or a piece of plywood to one end of the rack so you can push the firewood up flush, making the bundle neater. If you move the cross supports that hold up the wood towards the 'outside', which would be between the uprights, not inside them, you will give yourself more clearance for the wrapping. You can use the standard 18: wide stretch wrap rolls and cut them in half with a band saw or sawzall then you can put the wrap on faster and stronger. You can also make labels for your wood and put them under the last layer of wrap.

    Hello Aaron, I have the exact same mill and it works great I bought an extra log dog set so I could cut short logs and also clamp a short board to make "Cookies" I also have a machine shop and have built two 5 foot tracks to add onto the ends of the 7 ft tracks one is used for a parking place for the saw head and the other parks my log turner log lift. also changed the engine out for an electric start 15 hp. I like the idea of lobbing off the end log upright and will also change the dogs from square to round pipe they are aggravating to say the least. also will be putting electric winch in place of the manual winch, mine has a tendency to drop and make end about 1/4 inch thicker if i don't keep eye on it. Winch is tight but there is a design flaw in the internal brake of the winch.
