Wood Splitter pt2.

Hard a bit of sunshine so I decided to move the wood splitter out and try it.

First try was without the stand.

Worked good.

Took me about 10 min to split a barrow full.

That amount took me over an hour by hand and I felt dead afterwards.

Sitting was inconvenient so I decided to put the stand on it.

Much easier and more convenient.

That is about the largest log I had in the stack.

It is a little over the listed max but split just fine.

I have seen videos of people splitting larger on it but I would not recommend it.

The splitter requires 2 hands on the controls to operate.

I am sure that is done for safety reasons.

As I was putting it away (due to rain moving in) I did have a failure on one wheel.

The cotter pins they supply are garbage.

I could not find another pin (I know I have a whole box somewhere)

so I put a redneck pin in it.

A small nail bent over.

Rednecks and country boys been doing that for ages.

And it works.

Stay safe Y'all.
