Greg, is that "jaw of death" going to chop a log to a certain length like that bobcat video did with the chainsaw?

Pretty much the same as that video Vinny. The jaw comes down to clamp the log while the saw bar makes the cut.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

I need to make an arbour for the sprocket on the chain saw. Was planning on using 4140 can get a foot of 2inch dia for $28 in the city, while I was at Pemco today getting some angle iron I checked to see what they had. No 4140 but they had 1144 stress proof, but $60, is it that superior a material.

The bunk that holds the log is pretty much finished, save bolting on some hardwood planks for the sides.

Looking great Greg. You seriously need to paint a T-Rex face on the jaws of death when it's complete.

Julia insists it needs eyes cut out and attached, then painted.

In what way will you finish the "chute" part of it so the rough logs don't hang up on anything and jam up the works?

Got some interest do we. lol Will have to keep you guessing.
White oak or Elm planks will go down the length of it Ken, they will be fastened to the angle irons with carriage bolts. Think the wood will have more elasticity to take impact when the log rolls into the chute. And its something we can produce here.
