Mill 'em, nails be damned.
Do great minds think alike or fools seldom differ? I was thinking along those lines at first too, but I think I'll look into if I can make the existing axle pivot to a few different set points that it can be pinned (spring loaded) to, so I can still roll the splitter across the slope.What if you welded a 2' long hinged arm to the back if the rear leg, so it pivots to either side. On the end of the arm add a trailer screw jack, the style that can also pivot and pin in a horizontal position.
It could be used on either side that is low.
Regarding the fixing of the UHMWPE, I started out with 12 SS bolts and nylock nuts but am now just using the 4 central ones and the rest of the plastic can float. It was easier to take the plastic off and clean underneath this way, when there are only four bolts. That lip under the overhung end of the plastic is a great idea. But unless siliconing the sides that butt against the two folded upright lips of the main table, how do you stop debris working its way down that gap and under the plastic? I didn't want to silicon it, so now I just undo the four bolts and clean it out every now and then.
