Nice job Sir,i like the way you treat your machine and logs with the respect they deserve,well done and gloveless too,a man after my own style,i'm 83 and still enjoy work, U.Kingdom.
Wood that large splits far better on a hip height vertical splitter like a power split or a axis. No more wresting around the pieces like that. Sad more people don't understand this before they build something that's so difficult to use like this splitter.
I appreciate your input however you must not understand how agonising it is on your back to have a vertical splitter splitting this type of wood. I designed this specifically to operate exactly as it does because of personal experience with other operating systems. Thanks for watching!
@@tdurre3 Please do some research on the names of the splitters I mentioned before making assumptions about being hard on your back. There is no bending and less stress on the back using the power split vertical splitter, same with the eastonmade axis. Even wolf ridge makes a vertical now because of demand. If you try a power split vertical, you would cry at the time you spent building a horizontal splitter. I process firewood for a living. Your splitter is based on old slow tech.
Love it. The lift moving forward is a great addition. As a builder I notoced that if you had landing gear on the splitter you could stabilize the splitter with the same cylinder that you use to lift the log.
If that Big Round falls on you, it will smash you ! Where are your gloves and hearing protection. OMG is that a Big Round !! To bad you just don't have a single wedge on there.
Good job, love the idea of the log lifter sliding to catch the big split logs. Not claiming to know more than anyone else, saw a great thing for big logs. A lifting arm with a winch on it, the winch rope fixes to the log by spinning a round disc with a big thread attached. The arm swings round above the table and takes the weight of the log if split off centre till it is a manageable size. Great design man!
ive seen alot of splitters on you tube and you are the only one that has put the machine to the test and split a large knotty block and your machine done it easy well done cheers from tasmania
Dude do yourself a favor, buy or build a lumberjack attachment for the bobcat it would be split in manageable pieces in 2 min ;) this way you will be in a wheelchair by the end of the fall Lol ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kegmg2KnQv0.html
Bobcats don't have the hydraulic pressure my splitter does. When you're splitting through multiple knots, you have to be able to cut the grain no matter what direction it's running. Don't get me wrong, for practical wood splitting a $5,000 attachment would work fine.
You did such a good job with that splitter how about building a sawmill ?I'm still welding on my home made v twin powered chain mill.More videos please...:)
Just shook your hand last month , this is probably the strangest request that you have ever had, me and my wife are coming up on 16 years of marriage, we’re not rich by any means we’re comfortable, you are one of the greatest minds out there, She took me to your drag racing Museum on her birthday, how can I possibly,give her that back? Rock on you old swamp rat
Nice splitter.A peavey would be kind of handy to move that big chunk of wood around,and be careful,those smaller pieces can jump out at you(see the knot?).It sure beats banging away with an axe , though.
That is frikkin awesome! I couldn't catch the giant pieces that fall off being a woman and all but it looks like with just a little change like a guard on the other side that even a kid could do it.
