Good looking splitter. What does your pressure gauge read when splitting big stuff?

You did a great job on your splitter and it is something to be very proud of. I am in the process of building my own. It is still in the design and materials gathering mode. I have an 8 inch beam, 5 inch cylinder, 14 hp Kohler motor. I plan on a horizontal/ vertical design. Two years and it should be running. How long did it take for you from the idea stage to finish?

It took me about 4 to 5 months. I had no plans just kind of planned as I went. thanks for the comment.

You made a really nice unit there! I really like the log lift and table, I need one on my splitter. When I made mine it was a real pain to grind down the wedge to a point, how did you get yours sharp?

The first thing i done was i used a cutting torche to get the most of the angle started and then finished with a big grinder. It did take alot more time than i anticipated to get it like I wanted it.

Nice job. You incorporated some good ideas into making it easier to split. Im trying to design a whole tree limber and cutter/slitter for production splitting.
