Just seeing if we have this figured out.
Hubs for the idler sprockets on the live deck. ![[Image: twI0gzhOhGJ_UKrGzDnHDM5fmnQlBMgokmxIKmNd...3-h1243-no]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/twI0gzhOhGJ_UKrGzDnHDM5fmnQlBMgokmxIKmNdoiWH_oLFavWWp0d2xd7YbG59TnbGrsDlglDEl7Fr-vt358FTIYDCqrBC6yOx-LUo8pcKDd3F_GPOmGvLhg0a0NNBM9UmUsB6RNiLDxGCoNdNLbxUlih0lp3xU3Ss4esBTDCT_Fk0YFdJIYNcQG17h_9HHUiSQ4h7SDIXrbQ348dTFeAXTrYL_0zMAMjlCYsjNQqqQsl8wtl1SKNCl8grnrTManYVSq2IqvLRJ04Z2qMudaq2WQ6Cf3x2oO3OWx_uUs2Qm66D0iIGiFxOzhE4mB4pKip11E9K7HfhUujsJMOkaUcJn9GdgwTgfUtiJCPQVjEViBtvROKiv9tctqcNZep6lun-1t6Hmw6-kallw_t0VRKT098W-lfvZmyKiQ3gqA5t1EpGyeTrtxWjZwPhTnByIf_xcoVhgqlsx5MR41SqW3O9eOMltR-2_KkhPgwWx6XIr6499jYGejVy2rHBs6eRAelnJh2fjsiiJj51jhrx1uf6nORYl10dnZGRSbTasQWlhq38d0zxvRTjc3XyPocUx9SCQ3aKPElhYpmjKBcB_0sesXtIQIw=w933-h1243-no)

I am guessing you have never been to the Black Forest in Germany. It is called that because the tree canopy is so dense that it is dark in the forest.

Still too humid to open the shop doors so I've been working inside. The log deck would have been a lot easier to build spread out, but we built it in the folded position. Had to get all the bunks square and level before welding so they'd hopefully open up properly.
Found a piece of 1 3/8 4 tpi acme rod, believe it was for levelling scaffolding. I made a 4 inch deep nut that was then cut in 3 for levelling the legs. ![[Image: uf6mM5rXIZJ_NQ6osfbfkxi44sTU0EExHOCX5KEx...0-h1266-no]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/uf6mM5rXIZJ_NQ6osfbfkxi44sTU0EExHOCX5KExcPk1R_HnBiNEDEZ4KG2tObphNtcJHitWa5Mw-fRaAYCTCvBpw7CrmHIVvSU_85p2zscwq0aWrFMFeql3fsOrnUy4pKUzhWWfLjvQaFor-K6GvesId4JVlM1qJiPkc4i_Fgvm5Was8ouUkaPl-zEePPGQckZCkA1T2bRAEwZgbdipOVrpSe4NkbobfekeGUSreL6tOG_Eh5cYhZOMtvw78djNGVH0EMYux2W29WXTZNITSE5XMjG4q0jNswq5t48IPsyQmC_FLhH_XrTbOFspHPKcY-YFNkS_vgD0M5C-w_RcC1Vuqb5zBX5TN61hLXALA7jTFQUuFUphbf0Lo6pTi8s2uuUvGmVYvVDiQvSQ7H85dfTTAGrA9tpNGeKJxqWB2mFgtPgiFMyIJa2g4F9050RqBmSC0qaBybtJccNECWeyMVVWLi-qv8ZJFR2wBYowL2zBZrMTJPCFh44lBdTfQ4o5J5zcxFqqG_UHq_D6Kg08IcqC0dJ1291okRYnurokVZdB4M4wpoehTxthl_Cdy3uFXVw00KoaOx_2cu1AeG9IPJ8XNBNhbi0=w950-h1266-no) The log deck folded for transport.

If you drive fast the air won't even notice you opened the doors until you close them again! You could even use your mule to drag it outside.

Was dry enough today to open the shop. Looks like the hinge system works.

Got the oiler for the chain saw working so it was time for a proper test.
The log deck still needed the chain on the centre bunk, once it was installed the logs feed properly. The chute the log drops into still needs planking to centre the log when it rolls in. The feed chain on the log chute is too slow, will have to change the ratio on the drive chain to sort that out. The saw works great, I was worried the single belt drive would slip but that isn't an issue at all. In fact I managed to clamp the log too tight and bound the saw, it will stall the engine. The cut block hangs up on the saw guard as it rolls over to the splitter. Not sure there is much I can do about that. Not a huge issue, think I can live with it. The splitter is great. Fast and powerful. As you can see 30 inch long oak blocks are pretty much a joke for it. All in all I'm pleased. Couple of little things to finish up and we should be painting it latter this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovAi-dd0dKY Thanks for watching
