Love that!  
I had wondered about the chunk jamming with that vertical feed tube arrangement.  
Looks like you’ve beat be to the solution.  
I haven’t even started building my chunker yet, but this is going in the notebook for sure.

Nice design Calvin, I like how compact it is and the top auto feed is really cool. Thanks for showing the videos. I see that I am going to have to build one.

You thought this one out from start to finish by having a bucket collection set up.  
Keeping the fuel production easier and easier will keep you in the game. Great work !

Excellent design my friend. Your wood gathering just got easier. In fact, like Tom Sawyer, you might get people to chunk wood for you! 😁

Great Machine!

Nice chunker.

I have been under the impression that this type of chunker needs green wood.

But it looks like you are eating through those seasoned 2x4 with no problem.

Hi Calvin,  
I’ve been procrastinating about building a chunker. Sometimes procrastination really pays off when something like this comes up. Very nice, thanks for posting.

Thanks to all who viewed the videos on the Auto feed wood chunker.  
Thank you for all the comments.  
It sure makes it easier to feed in 2x4s and I feel it is a lot safer.  
Special thanks to Bill Schiller for helping me out getting the videos on board correctly…  
Bill what did you do to make it work and where did I go wrong?  
Calvin…
