Homemade log splitter finally in action

[@patshannon8899]

I have to agree with Mike, if you don't do something with that table you're going to end up with a broken toe for sure. But that 6 way did a great job on splitting that wood. Most 6 ways I've seen and used made me split just about all of it again. Thanks for the great video.

Yeah, I have these sheet metal wings that are there to help guide the wood. I wish they were bigger but they would interfere with the push block if I did. Hoping a new wedge design will help resolve

Thanks for the feedback also, it’s great to get others opinions on a project like this

I love listening to the sound of cracking wood. With no music, this video is awesome. Cannot wait for the next video.

I’m glad to hear, firewood splitting asmr is a real thing, it’s satisfying slowly watching the trailer fill up piece by piece

Room for improvement, I don't care for the fact that a lot of wood during splitting falls on the ground, and you need a bit of tip on your finish table to allow the wood to move away a little easier. I also do not like the fact that your homemade wedge is loose and moves around when you start to split, tolerances could be a bit closer, but it is obvious you got the power! Just using it a bit more efficiently with a few tweeks!

There is ALWAYS room for improvement. I plan on designing a new slide over wedge that should hook improve wood falling off the sides as well as the sloppyness. What are you referring to with bit of tip on the outfeed table? Like have that sloped down to have that more like a slide?

That thing is quick, is it 28 gpm pump?

[@Timberland-Farms]

Yes it is 28gpm and I feel like I can squeeze more out of the engine with a larger pump, but why fix it if it’s not broken
