Log splitter video ...

Latest find of lumber ...

Few more pics ...

I must say my logsplitter is working a dream, the wide wedge works great with the likes of thorn that tends to be a bit stringy, it is forced open to the point of splitting.

I would hate to have to go back to swinging a maul ... if you're having any problem making up your mind ... stop right now and get yourself a logsplitter ;-)

Cheers

Couple more pics ...

Nearing completion! ...

I got my logsplitter home this weekend, and imediately put her to work, well a good test run ;-)

She is better than I could have hoped for ... Here are a few more pics ... when I have all my firewood split for the coming winter (2010) I will strip her back down and get her painted, but for now I'm over the moon

Cheers

Slowly getting there ...

Well the title says it all ... the engine, pump and hydraulic tank are now in place. Its starting to look like a log splitter ;-)

Later to day I'll be sorting out the hydraulic hoses ... and she will be getting her first road test. There's still some work to do yet before I really get to put her to work.

Spliting wedge in in place ...

I believe my log splitter could be almost complete by Christmas. Here are a few pics of the wedge...
