That is pretty cool....looks like a lot of wear on the machine with all that jostling to shake things free, though.
On a related note, homemade woodsplitters occupy a spot near the very top of my list of things I do not like working on. I believe that every red-blooded American male who owns a welder must harbor a secret desire to build a woodsplitter. I have seen a great many, and the majority place the most emphasis on using whatever is at hand to build it, with functionality, safety, balance, and overall weight occupying spots near the bottom on their list of important considerations.
Sure they work.... But if it takes a team of draft horses just to move the blamed thing around, what does that prove?
