Did you incorporate an orifice in the bar for chain oil? I built a hydraulic chain saw for my excavator. On it I used a type of custom made hydraulic cylinder that acts like a syringe. Every time the saw is activated it injects a measured amount of oil into the bar. It is adjustable from 5cc to 30cc per activation. It is a single acting cylinder with two compartments. The bottom compartment sucks the oil out of the tank for the bar chain oil. A check valve stops the oil from returning to the tank. A spring pushes the piston back up and when it does it sucks the oil from the tank. It is very reliable and gives a great supply of oil without wasting oil.
Nice job on the firewood processor.
