Sawinredneck's monster splitter

Andy,
If you have posted any updates on that monster splitter, I have missed them. How is the project coming. One of these days I am going to come by and see. Will you have it ready for firewood season?

Man I hear you on the heat. I have been working on my bumper, but don't usually make it out until 9pm. It's not to bad then, still gets a little hot with protective gear and helmet. A couple of weld elbows and a few hours and I should have it ready for paint.

Yea, I am lucky, I guess. If I could not work half the night, then I might not start projects like building bumpers, etc. Might end up with more time for myself. The back door of my shop is about 400' from my house and my house is insulated with the expanding foam. I can make a lot of noise with no complaints. I bet I could get away with running my gas welder all night long. Not for me. I do not stick weld very well. I usually use a Millermatic 250 and a Hyperthern 900 plasma cutter. The steel dropping on the ground makes more noise than either of these.
