Building some GRIZZLY Bars

In this video I am going to fabricate some custom grizzly bars for my Eastonmade 22-28 log splitter. Grizzly bars separate the bark, and scrap from the firewood. They aren't available on this unit from the factory so I decided to fabricate my own!

Congratulations on your New Splitter,

[@EverythingElliott]

Thank you! Can’t wait to give it a run!

[@stannelson2582]

Fab work looks great. Grizzly bars are a tool that does a job. It’s like mud tires on a truck that never gets dirty lol. To each his own!

[@EverythingElliott]

These will get their use! Don't Worry!

[@michaelsheeder148]

Elliot looks like the grizzly bars came out pretty good, a nice solution on mounting the grizzly bars. Thanks Michael

[@EverythingElliott]

I’m very happy with the final product. After seeing a couple other creations that guys made I realized I wanted them to be removable in seconds. Everyone else seems like it’s a chore to get them on and off

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Fantastic job Elliott! I really like how they came out and how EASY they are to take off and put on.

[@EverythingElliott]

I’m very happy with the results. After watching what you go through to get yours on and off I knew I wanted to make them easy to remove.

[@oldguyfirewood]

Great build on the Grizzly bars Elliott. Your design is simple and efficient. I’m enjoying mine… they make a huge difference.

[@EverythingElliott]

I’m very pleased with the way they turned out

[@ydocproductions5593]

Smart idea Elliott! I really like how you’ve designed it to be easily taken off the conveyor if you ever needed to. Plus you saved a buck or two from having a fab shop make one for ya👍!

[@EverythingElliott]

I always enjoy testing myself. Being self reliant is one of my life goals and I think I'm doing well so far.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Those turned out awesome Elliot

[@EverythingElliott]

Thank you! Love how simple it is, and how easy it is removed

[@TheHelmanHomestead]

Nice work Elliot can’t wait to see this thing in action!

[@EverythingElliott]

Thanks! I’m very happy with the way it turned out!

hi there good work on the GB's. i don't at this point have the need for them . but like making stuff/things . i have been watching lots of other channels that have been making GBs ,they all seam to have a similar design flaw witch creates a problem ,its the cross bar at the bottom .i see a Constance bottle neck there ,not quite sure how to get around it or the real need . but it is there , be interesting to see them work . you are good at fab. work and ideas , great job. best to all john

[@EverythingElliott]

I already have a solution for that if it becomes a problem, I’m going to take a second flat plate and weld it at a 45 to that bottom support that way if wood does get caught it will hit the 45 and ramp up over. Being that it’s 2” flat bar I don’t think the edge of the wood will go deep enough in the slats to be a problem

[@adirondackwoodsman]

Good job Elliott! Definitely nice to be able to connect or disconnect them easily. Now maybe a place to store them on the conveyor if you want to travel with them would be nice.

[@EverythingElliott]

I don’t think that would be hard to accomplish…I’ll look into that once I’m done painting them

[@hayesrutherford9415]

You need a little jig to bend hooks around and get tighter curves. Easy to make.

[@EverythingElliott]

Yeah, I was planning on just buying some hooks but decided to save a trip to the store. Just did what I could with what I have

[@portersadventures]

Solid fab work my friend !

[@EverythingElliott]

Thank you!

[@ForestHogOutdoors]

Bang up Job! Thats going to look OEM with a little paint. You're getting good brotha

[@EverythingElliott]

It’ll be ship shape in no time. Can’t wait to run it

[@1squirreldog]

You have some talent that i wish i had & it impresses me ! That was a great job on the grizzly bar build . I dont think you will have a problem with wood hanging up at the crossbar with your design . I can tell you my homemade build also uses chains & thats a problem for me because the wood always finds a way to wedge itself between the chain & gbs then it starts to back up .

[@EverythingElliott]

That is something I didn't consider, I could easily weld a flat plate deflector on there by the chains though. Guess we will wait and see. Thanks for watching

[@matthewward631]

Nice set up. Should work out nice.

[@EverythingElliott]

I’m very happy with the results. Once this weather breaks it’s time to get after it!

[@childersbuilders716]

Dumb question.. Why are they called grizzly bars?

[@EverythingElliott]

Not a dumb question. Grizzly bars were the original name for a rock screener and I think it just translated over to this with firewood as it essentially performs the same function but with a different medium

[@childersbuilders716]

@EverythingElliott so it like screens out the smaller pieces of wood that you get with the box blade? It seems like the box blade makes a dirtier/stringy split. Am I getting that right?

[@EverythingElliott]

@@childersbuilders716 it sorts out all the bark and small scrap, yes
