Custom log splitter #5, it's been a while.

How about an electric motor for the elevator. Maybe an old treadmill motor?

Most of my wood is nowhere near a plug-in. It's always close to some form of hydraulics though.

I should probably own a generator, but I don't.

A guy could split into a hopper conveyor set up and run the conveyer only when needed. Who knows you may get quick on the controls and never have an issue with wood piling up. I like the idea. If I have the room and a conveyor I would give it a try

Awesome craftsmanship! That splitter is a thing of beauty that you can beat the tar out of it and still holds up. I have many hours welding but I see a have many more to go to get beads like that. Made my day looking at pics.

I wish I had room and $$$ for equipment and the knowledge to run a mill. But for now will get by with cheapo chop saw, 4 1/2" angle grinder, torch and Lincoln MIG.

Ive been Mia for a while now, mostly due to being extremely busy. The last splitter I built I used for about a year and decided it needed to go to pay for a new and much needed welder. The splitter ended up going to Thomas "Hinerman" haven't heard really much of anything since he took deliver. Really hope he likes it. This one again is supposed to be my personal splitter but have yet decided off ill sell it right away or not... This splitter was a long process since I've been so busy so I did t snap as many pictures as I normally would. Enough of the mumbo jumbo here's the pictures.

Milling down the spacers for the bushed plate.

Weld, gotta love .045 metal core wire.

Man That is a Purdy weld. I wish I could lay a bead like that, I don't know whether to be more jealous of the splitter or your shop!

I've decided it's time to sell this splitter, it will be at the iowa spring gtg for demonstrations if it's still around. I'll try and get a thread posted in the correct buy and sell forum this week some time.
