Fire Wood Processor
Don't remember the numbers off the top of my head but did a quick calculation when I was building it and thought I needed the reduction, hope I was right.
Had made the axle for an 8 foot width, then realized the openings into the shed where it will be stored are only 7 foot 9. Had to cut 6 inches out of the middle of it, Dah.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

I would've thought you'd enlarge the opening!

What, you don't have a chainsaw? Is the shed wood?

Many years ago, a friend's father-in-law told us a story about something he saw in the army, during WWII. Seems an officer's door was scraping on the wood floor, so they brought in somebody with a hatchet to lower the floor...

The shed is pretty much fixed.

I'd spotted the containers 24 feet apart, years before I got to the roof. Seamed like a good number till I realized the posts.
When I built the shop I framed the door opening upstairs for a double door. When the door came it was a 1/2 inch taller than a standard entrance door. It was easier to take 3/8 of an inch out of the floor sheating than cut the header.

Got the sub frame together today after a Lot of cutting and grinding on those side rails.

The rails aren't as curved as the camera portray's them.

It all looked good on paper but was sure glad to see it fit.

 The simulated smoke flavoured log aka garbage can is 19 inches in dia, looks like it will cut a 24 inch log as planned.

I am sitting here wringing my hands with a strange laugh. Just waiting for the first log to go through. I can taste it! Keep at it.

I could envision you making a similar machine, though it might not be made for firewood processing. Rather, yours would be task engineered to lop off the heads of local government officials.
