It is based on an I beam I got for free and the whole idea is taken from Logosol.

Log moves up with 1" ACME rods.
The log dogs I may need to change or improve, but it works for now.

Cheap rulers help setup the thickness, 1 3/8" move up gets me 1" board.

24" bar with ripping chain will need an end support, it shakes bit too much.
I tried to use whole 372XP clutch assembly, but it would slip on slow down - this is the outer clitch piece welded to a spindle. It gives me the option to replace the chain sprocket rim as needed.

The whole electrical setup has to be updated, also the oil delivery is lacking - gravity feed only now - probably will have to get some kind of an oil pump.

I like it. I'm assuming you have a ripping chain on there. How is the chain oiled? How many HP motor?

The motor is 6hp and yes, using ripping chain.
Oiled is gravity fed and the bar has extended hole to get the oil to the chain, but I think it needs more pressure than gravity to lube better.

Nice setup. Weld made. Have you got a good supply of timber.
