    Ah it's looking perfect Donn, and you got MINI MAN'S approval too. Can't ask for more than that. It will be a fantastic Log Splitter when you're through with it. Thanks for taking us along with you. Stay safe and keep up the great video's and have some fun along the way. Fred.

    I've been following your channel for a few years now and always look forward to your next project. Obviously you're doing something right, nearing 1 million subscribers. It's always fun to see how many "professional " fabricators comment on how they'd do it but somehow don't have a YT channel to show how smart they are!!

    So we all know, "Mini Me" will be welding before kindergarten. Start them young let them learn to build and make stuff, it is the best teacher for life, it either works or it won't. But the biggest take away is problem solving how to A) Make it work or B) How to make it better and work better. Take it from me, the most important thing is enjoy this time it goes by so fast I am speaking from experience my kid is 26 and yes no matter her age she is my kid.

    A good way to make the moving wedge go up and down would be an angled slot that works like a ramp. Very low profile relative to a complex linkage system and fewer moving parts.

    I have a couple of extra skid steer loader cylinders I plan to use for a log loft. Was thinking about putting quick disconnects on my hydraulic log splitter to use it as a power pack to run the cylinder. My saw mill is also up on a trailer and some.of these 11' LG x 22" diameter wet white oak logs push 1-ton.

    Donn, of you want to make a flap sander, you can use an old armature to from a heater or wiper motor. Take all the copper out, fold some sandpaper (sanding belt is better than paper), slip it into the armature with the grit on the outside, and hold it in place with carpenter nails with a bid head so it won't slip through.

    Good splitter for clear wood. But,, Knitty or twisted or cross cutting is ruled out. You need one with the blade moving on the cylinder end. Then the blade can be withdrawn from jambed logs . Excellent for nice clear logs. I mention, constructively, for anyone about to make a splitter.

      Yes if the trees are straight grain and dont have much branches... His from Estonia and being his neighbor can tell all that wonky birch with lots of branches will do is jam it self to blade like that, or welds will fail and now you have partially splitted log with hardox blade stuck in it. At most you can hope with say 12tons splitter is go for 4 peaces and straight ones that are not wonky maybe 6 or 8 but that is pushing it. If you go for say 50-100cm logs you can forget that 6-8 pretty much and hope for the best with 4. If its "flame birch" grain 4 peaces is pushing it and if its all those things mentioned you pray to god and help the splitter with chainsaw relief cuts...

      Different needs and wants. Mostly that was for smaller below 15cm trees that are not so difficult to split. Since whole thing was built around 7ton china hydraulic splitter it was pretty slow and cant do much, but since its now firewood processing center (not sure what is right term) it will fetch nice price when sold further on. This is for large actual log size trunks he transported in few videos back on timber trailer. Chain saw into suitable peaces, roll, lift and split. With two valve system it should be much faster and powerful than that 7ton machine witch kind i see in the metal scrap all the time. Since this is built from readily available components it can be upgraded and maintained much easier than those China made ones.
      If you want make small fire wood in hurry and 7tons is enough, get fast action kinetic splitter but check they didnt use full tread bolt as axle like in mine -.- and anything longer or tougher like wonky birch with lots of branches you use/build something like this.

P81-RS-S10 oli vist jagaja kood, mark Hydra-Pack, selle järgi hea täpsed specid välja otsida. Ma ise suurt midagi hüdraulikast veel ei tea, aga katsun õppida käsolevateks ja edasisteks projektideks.
