Nice machine, I like it but I was thinking it's a bit slow and could do with a motor to free up a pair of hands, go faster and do less work. Did you hear my thoughts before you rushed at me with that axe?

I've split 5 cords through it so far. Does what I need it to. kzfaq.infoUgkxUyQswtttSffRMblGbrhCvZn7JkhtG1-7 I scrounge all my firewood and am not equipped to handle big wood, but for logs up to 24 inch diameter or so, it works great. I've been amazed by some of the gnarly bur oak and elm crotches it has split. For the tougher stuff within it's size range, you might have to study the piece a bit to decide the best attack, but if you split smart it's up to the job. It did arrive low on oil, and I was would have nicked it half a star for that, but it has regained my full confidence. UPDATE NOVEMBER 2021: Still going strong after all these years. I love the one-handed operation. Hope it's still in production if I ever need to replace it

@@beebob1279 I would need to adjust the height so it would be able to accept longer logs. Either by using a thicker shim above the spring, getting a stiffer spring or removing some weights. I have split 14" before because I cut it too long. So I think 18" could be done.

@@beebob1279 made this one. I don't weld, but I designed, cut and put it together after I told the welder what to do. Finding a spring from the rear end of a 1991 Grand Marquis. I would like to experiment with a stiffer spring and more weight. A station wagon or hearse would be good. Most cars nowadays are front wheel drive. This is a pig tail style. Since this video I raised the table and leveled where I am standing. Works better now.

These scooters are mostly plastic and it smelled like someone burned about a thousand Solo cups. I saw a young woman walking down Sandy carrying a helmet. I asked her if that was her scooter and she said yes. I said...What happened. She said it just caught on fire.
