Very nice job my friend. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for awhile now. My knees and my back are shot. Knees are worse though. I do have the shop and all the tools,welder and all. I’m two years into retirement, but I’m gonna keep burning wood until I can’t. If you don’t mind, I’m going to base my lift table build using ideas from your design. My home made splitter does vertical as well, but what a pain in the butt holding such big pieces up against the beam to get a good bite. Thanks for sharing. You done good sir. ✌️👍🇺🇸

Nice job. Isn't it great to get all of this advise from people that have probably never built one!

I have to point out that the fixed pulley is not a force multiplier only a direction changer.

That's a splitter like mine. I had thought of a loader but hadn't put any effort to it. As you said hydraulics are expensive and that's why I have not put the effort to it. Now I can copy your build. Thank-you for sharing.

A catch that could hold the lift in the upright position would be handy. That would give you more working space when you have big blocks to be split. I reckon with a little bit more engineering the arm used for lifting could have been mounted on the hitch side of the lift. Other than these things I reckon you've created a real winner.

Excellent. Better than others I have seen. Any way you can come up with a pencil drawing and dimensions?

Nicely engineered. I would recommend a wider "table" to prevent logs rolling back on the lift

Since then I have made an attachment -U-shaped steel jaws to break heavy branches (few inches in diameter) in half using a Logsplitter I will update the video as the time permits.

Holy schit rafal! This is really cool! In soviet america Rafal split workload in two!

That is perfect Ty I will draw it up tomorrow. Hay is your ram connected at the front

Great job! Anytime you can work your head instead of your back. Made one for my splitter too. it uses a lever too lift the log. I have it posted also.

I knew the return would lift a block of wood ,you beat me to it

One cable clamp is on correctly, and one is not. Hint, never saddle a dead horse.

Would it help to have a table to hold the partially split pieces? I think your design is simple and effective to lift the logs but seems like a lot of work to keep them there till fully spilt

Awesome!

I think I'd put some sort of spring loaded pin on that wooden vertical post to hold table up while splitting.

Could you send plans to that log lift

You already have a good work platform, Maybe have a chain on a hook go from the lifting platform to your lifting arm ,Instant level work table ,unhook for the next ring

Clever fellow!

Good early prototype.

Looks like an informative video. What'd ya say?

Nice job

Make you holding shelf a little wider 8 more inches , then put a 4 way wedge on it

Très bien penser

The audio is terrible. Too bad it would have been an interesting topic. Doug

what size are all the pulleys, can you give me more information on them?

Very nice.

Is your wood splitter a horizontal and vertical splitter? If it does go vertical, then is there any point in this pulley mechanism? It is a nice design.

Nice job god bless

That's a good idea sorta. The obvious trouble I see is that your table goes away. Good work.

hey rafal thats a pice of junk just kidding.mechanical genius i always felt.hope that you didn't waste your time with going back to sears bruce

get a mic could not hear anything

Not practical with the table up and down on every stroke. Look at some other videos. They solved it by detaching the cable or something.

Tell camera man to not put hand over 🎤 microphone next time

Can barely hear you.

Audio sucks use a Garth brooks head set next time

it is slow

Can't hear shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't watch what can't hear. Sorry

Sorry about the audio but if you use a headset you can hear everything quite clearly
