As a teen, I spent several hundred hours splitting wood with a hammer and wedge (much better than axe BTW). It was slow, dangerous work. Why would saving time and lowering risk be stupid? 5 hours spent fixing up a log splitter seems brilliant to me.
wow i never woulda thought..... but damn looks to work great... hell ya i think im gonna give it a whirl... rather than haulin the wood to my shop then bringin it in to split it hell split it wherever i cut it.. good thoght man
No it's like a guillotine instead of loping a head off your splitting wood
The actual beheading was very quick - often to the gathered crowd's disgust - taking less than half a second from blade drop to the victim's head rolling into the waiting basket.
Good Idea! Not much cost involved.. i bet you just idle that puppy the entire time. Beats the heck out of all the piss poor ideas I've seen on here. I mean if that breaks just reweld it.. haha!
best idea ive seen in ages, next step add 4 way splitter instead of single knife then add chainsaw to the other stabilizer to cut ur logs, good job.

Genius, That is a great idea. I am glad to see another man out there figuring out how to wark smarter, not harder.

a remote valve, or a helper would make this pretty good. your wearing me out with all that going back and forth. it is a very good idea though

I've thought about something like this, but I've only got a little tractor with a front end bucket on it. I don't think it'd have the weight...

Nice, but how about a splitter made in the form of a cross? That way you could get 4 pieces at once.

Nice idea but it's probably not a good idea to get your hand between the blade and the log.
spiritofcygnus 3 years ago
What log splitting company did you say you worked for? Because I don't get your commet.
I wouldn't want to get my hand between any wood splitter!
