I hurt my back with my axe, and hurt my back in the shop making DIY stuff, can't win. Life's short, just do what makes you happy. I did martial arts for years, so I'm pretty efficient with my 30$ axe and will probably always use it. my uncle cut 2 fingers off with a splitter, maybe axe is safer.
🔥Всем привет - отличная приспособа для людей у которых есть время и желание возиться с железом. 🥇По нашему мнению в быту хватает и обычного ✅ *ручного дровокола* для дачи, бани, камина, садовой печи - кто согласен ставьте лайки!👍 👏Автору респект! - Руки из правильного места растут!
Такие чурбаки,без сучка и задоринки можно обычным топором наколоть.не уверен что это приспособление осилит сучковатый дуб или волокнистый вяз. Но за труды 👍.
Good design, and awesome build. Love to see people reuse older things to make new things. Anybody can run out and buy new materials, but it takes a Craftsman to reuse materials from something that was already there. Great job, I especially like the fact that it could be removed when not in use.
This is just great design, safe and has no turning pieces that can grab you really good !!Its manual, not heavy to operate , and real safe!! good design!!!
yes this is the way i would go to if i ever get around to actually making it... would be less labor if you can manage to keep the cutting on ground level tho...save a step
This design seems very efficient. I bet it would really extend the age that one could manually split wood. I know a few old timers who might get a kick out of this.
Yep, I'm one of them. Early seventy's and just about to build one. I may have a stroke, when using it, but at least I'll be nice and warm, when I am recovering. LOL.

Excellency. I have a kinetic 37 ton log spitte. I broke mine trying to bust through some knarley hickory. Replacement parts were cheap though and next week I will be splitting again. I'm thinking about making one of these for one of my less fortunate friends. We need smart tools like this if SHTF. No power needed.
Hello, : ), very nice job, i think this is the nicest one like this i have seen, very good job thank you for sharing and showing us all it is possible to make nice things if you simply put your mind to doing it thanks a lot ! love the chickens and dog too : )
This is really awesome. No noise, no gas, no hydraulic fluid. No leaky lines. Looks like built to last a lifetime. Wonder what a price point would be. I would think if in $600 range there would be a real market for it.
@@Clem.H.Fandango noise isn't really the concern, it's getting machines to do everything for us that is concerning, but at long as you're chopping wood yourself, that's healthy
@@josephdavis4956 why would you spend 3h in chopping wood when you can do it in 1h? its about doing the job in a productive and efective way in less time :D
This design has been kicking around the Internet for years now. It's better than everything else because it allow you to control the strength of the blow and the timing, so impossible to chop off fingers.
You will make a LOT of people VERY happy indeed! I realise that spring rates have a lot to do with the efficiency ..... Which springs did you use ? This Aussie thought it was manufactured ..... You certainly did a good job in making it ...... Fooled me ..... Best wishes ...... :) One question though : How many litres of beer an hour does it take to work it ? ROFL! :)
It looks fun, and I'm always looking for alternative ways of doing things, so thanks a lot for the video. But in this case, I can do all this with my axes and merlins, and I think I'd be faster - and I'm the other side of 60 years old. I'm watching the guy and trying to guage how much effort using the device takes, and it doesn't seem to be much less than swinging an axe. Each to his own of course, but correct use of an axe is elegant, efficient and effective. I have to deal with some really difficult and large logs at times - I call them 'the awkward squad'. I'm wondering how this device would deal with them, especially when there are knots in them. I see that an assistant is helping to position the larger logs here, but I'm dealing with much bigger and more difficult things than that. I'm not sure that this device would be that easy to use with such wood - I'm talking a meter or more in diameter. I just walk around them and split them as I go, definitely faster I'd say and no need to move them (in order to postion them under the device). Having to lift logs, large or small, onto the block before you split them is definititely going to slow you down as well as limit what you can split to what you can physically lift that high - I'm splitting French oak and hornbeam for example, and you're not going to be able to lift the larger logs into place like that Perhaps when I get older, but for the moment, I can't see the advantage, except perhaps that it takes time to learn use an axe or merlin properly; I have been doing this since I was very young, and I have noticed that some young people recently arrived in the village find this difficult - but it's their first experience of wood splitting, so I guess that's not surprising. It's well worth learning how to use an axe, for cutting and splitting, in my view.
Looks good. Like to see you splitting some wood with knots and from further up tree where branches grew out of trunk. Much tougher to split than the straight grained wood in your demo.
