Making a Leaf Extension for a Log Splitter

[Finksies]

Made a little video documenting a Leaf Extension I made for my Log Splitter. I had all the steel from old bed frame brackets, so it only cost me my time. I have no clue why these don't come stock on a splitter.

Man you work fast!!

I like it not bending for everything is a huge time/back saver

What's the cycle time on that splitter? 1 second fully loaded?

Cool build thread vid! Talk slow..work fast! HAHAHAHAHA!

That splitter looks strong, doing up them gnarly pieces pretty easy.

I talk fast, work slow..except when my felling wedge-fu fails and I have to jump outta the way! more HAHAHAHAHA

Hey, what the spray can on your welds for?

Also makes for good smelling welds.

Indeed, lol. 37 ton, not much will stop it. I do most of my splits with a fiskars. If they don't go in a few swings it's to this bad boy. To impatient for a hydro splitter most of the time unless your have two people then it goes pretty quick.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the video. I wish more YouTubers would post with the quicker time rate, like you did. It really makes for a much more watchable video on a project like this.

Good Video.
And it works like a charm.

I need to work on my "MAN" skills.
Cant weld and I Know almost nothing about macanic work.

Looks great, thanks for the video. I am thinking about extending the table on mine.

Two things.

Perhaps a lip on the side towards the motor so a big chunk can't vibrate off onto the motor.

I place the splitter within a couple feet of the stacks. So the split wood goes directly on the stack and doesn't have to be handled twice. Takes slightly more time splitting but saves handling a second time. I always split by myself.

Your right about adding a lip to the end, that would defiantly help. Im glade I made it as big as I did. Also the angle really works well for keeping logs from moving around. First time making a speedy video, you get the point in 1/4 the time. Thanks for all the replys.
